FroznBeavrBALLs Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 im thinking about upgrading my amp from the Hifonics HFI 1000.d to an AQ1200. Im gonna be running 1 DC lvl 3 12" on it. I plan on getting another DC down the line and running both on that AQ1200. Would it be bad to go ahead and get the AQ amp and run just 1 DC on it? would i be risking putting too much power to it and blowing it? or should i just wait to get the other DC and the AQ at the same time? any advise would be Grrrrr8!

That1Kid Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 An AQ on 2 would be perfect. Get 4 ohm coils. Then you could get one, and wire it at 2 ohm. Then get another and wire it at 1 ohm Quote -98' Ford Expedition (Rest in Peace) -AVH-P3300BT -Crescendo BC5500 -4 18" DC m2 Level 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 was thinking about wire each sub to 1OHM, then running the AQ1200 at 2OHMs and pushing each sub with 875rms... or is that not right? lol Quote 2 DC 12" lvl 4s 1 DC 1.2k XS Power S3400 big 3 Alll KNU wire Pioneer HU cheapo Legacy coaxes (just for now) http://www.stevemead...n-sentra-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKidwell Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 was thinking about wire each sub to 1OHM, then running the AQ1200 at 2OHMs and pushing each sub with 875rms... or is that not right? lol Running parallel parallel would be .5 ohm Quote c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ18 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 You want to run the amp at 1ohm not 2. I would just get another d2 and wire down to .5 and make sure you have the electrical to support the amp running at .5. Also why not go with a dc 1.2k to match the subs?
