Dbforlife Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have 2 aq hdc3 12's copper. Looking to get a new amp and sell this tiny aq2200d. Should i go with the dc audio 5k or aq3500d? BUT!!!! So far when i buy that 5k or 3500 ill only have this electrical ---2 yellowtops, big 3, all 1/0 wire, and ill be buying an alt too, probably a 350+. Will i be able to run either of those amps with the above electrical without hurting it? Just need pointers to which amp i should go with due to electrical and subs, the subs really can take a beating ive ran them on a thunder elite 4000 or something i forgot, at my buddies shop and they really take a sht kicking lol. thanks guys!

Twistedchild420 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I personally think you'll be fine with either amp and that electrical....what ohm load will you be running? Just give it a shot......if the voltage is not looking too good.....add 1 or 2 more yellow tops Quote My POS Bass machine-2003 Hyundai Santa Fe on some shitty 22'sBed Liner Paint Job-Pioneer AVH 3200DVD4 DAD BD series 15's in a 4th Order (Bassheads ENT Design)4 Arc Audio XDI2000.1 for the woofers6 Cadence CVL68MBX 6.5's-Cadence CVL88MBX 8's-6 Cadence XT20 Supertweeters2 Arc Audio KS300.4's for mids and tweets1 Arc Audio ALD 10v Line DriverAll Audiotechnix Power wire1 DC Power 270XP High Output Alternator1 XS Power D3400 up front....6 XS Power D3100's in the rearAir Lift 1000 Bags in rear to help with suspensionIf your still reading this GFY.......

Just give it a shot......if the voltage is not looking too good.....add 1 or 2 more yellow tops 1 ohm. just because i think 5k is enough for 2 hdc3 12's copper, and to help voltage better than .75 and .50 ect, and yeah ill add 1 or 2 more yellowes if it does look bad, but 1 ohm. I saw 4k move the hdc3;s and i think 4k is enough, but 5k even better Quote 1998 GMC Jimmy 4 Dr. -SINGER 275 Amp Alternator -150 FT. Of 1/0 OFC (8 runs) 4 pos, 4 neg.

Jbabycsx Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I would go with the 3500. 5K is overkill for the HDC3 subs. I just sold my 2 HDC3 12's and my Sundown 3k and it was giving them all they could handle.
