Mr. Yuk Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hey guys semi new to the forum been around for a long time just dont post too much.. anyways im finally able to start my system and was planning on an aq1200d and hdc3 18 with copper coil. Somewhere i saw the mb quart 1500.1 suggested instead of an aq1200d and it also happens to be about 30 bucks cheaper including a wiring kit.. just wondering of the build quality with this new mb quart stuff or if i should just avoid at all costs and stick with the aq1200. thanks for any help Ive searched but it always ends up being mixed results and nobody seems to have solid play time with either amp still they claim to know which is better.

Mr. Yuk Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 just got a fatty check from work kind of looking to order today any input would be great. I basically dont want to pass up a great deal if the onyx is a good amp. if its not i have no problem forking out the cash for the aq as it seems to be a fairly good amp.

P4killer_ Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have never used either amp, but i have used a few hifonics amp which is the same company.. but if money is an issue you could save a few bucks and get the mb quart im sure its ok... the wiring kit will likely be junk tho if it were me id just go with the AQ, i mean itll match ur sub, its likely equaL to if not better than the mb quart, and the resale value on the AQ will more than likely be higher, when you wanna upgrade..

Mr. Yuk Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) the wiring kit was cadence 4 guage kit. speaker wire was kinda small but i figured a lot of people liked them so it might be good. thank you for the response though i have heard great things about the aq mostly that it does rated+ and never gets warm. basically just didnt wanna sell myself short and not buy a 1500 watt amp for less if the mb was a good one.

kam311 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I don't think you'll have a problem with the mb quart, but like p4killer said, the amp kit probably isn't the best for that amp. A 4ga wire is what you need but my experience with the cadence wire is it is MUCH lighter than a true 4ga. Looks to me like cca even tho cadence swears it's copper... Idk I'm sure you'll be fine with that wire, but to he honest if it was me I would buy the same amp but without the wiring kit and then just buy a good 4ga elsewhere. But that's just me, you'll probably be just fine either way Quote so far...

Mr. Yuk Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I ended up going with the aq1200d and bought 4 guage fleks kit from knukonceptz. everything should be here friday at the latest I cant wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
