conley916 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) New member, I recently just sold my old system, (3 "08 Alpine Type R 10s in a ported box tuned to spec with a Kicker ZX 850.2 2 channel amp)I have some money together and I contacted Rusty over at DC Audio and he said, "There's no pre built subs here we could sell ya, everything needs to be made, we're about 6 weeks out any new orders." So looks like I gotta wait 6 weeks which is going to suck but there's nothing I can do. I keep debating on a DC Audio 3.5k amp or the Sundown Audio 3500, any suggestions? I was also thinking about buying a couple Kinetik batteries. I plan on running just one 18.

Azagtoth502 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Well both amps are great, take your pick.

Kevin Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I would definitely suggest buying more batteries if you only have one installed at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conley916 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 If anyone wants to get rid of a DC Audio or Sundown Audio 3500watt amp I will be more than happy to buy it off you today.

Purplehaze Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Man, think about XS Power instead of Kinetik.

Autruche Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'd go with the DC amp, because it has a clipping indicator light, so you can tune it without a scope. Also the AQ 3500 has a clip light too. And both have been proven to do rated. Just make sure you back it up with plenty of electrical. A nice high output alternator (250+ amps if possible) and 3 or more big AGM batteries, like XS, Shuriken, Stinger, or Kinetik. That's what I'd do at least. Also, if you can do a recone, I have a level 5 18 in my living room that needs a recone if you are interested. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

Autruche Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yeah I've already been looking around for alternators, how long have you had the sub? Had the sub since July last year, and it has been in need of a recone for the last 3 months. The gap was taped off immediately after the cone assembly was removed, so it's good to go. If you are interested, hit me with a PM. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?
