D-train-13k Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I don't see the point in switching to the DC 2.0, unless you prefer the emblem on the amp to say DC 2.0. Even if you get your full 2,000...2,100...hell, even 2,200 it is not going to be an audible difference. Upgrading to the 3.5 is obviously a different story. But if money truly is an issue, as stated, are you willing to spend just as much on electrical upgrades to supply properly the demand? well im hoping on my next build to have 3500 rms. with either two 2k's strapped or a 3.5k as for electrical im going to replace the optima up front with a D2400 and i should be good to go. i think i might just look into the bc3500 the price on those are really good for a reliable amp. however i do love the DC amp designs and the way they look. so i suppose ill have to cross that bridge when i get to it. and yeah i agree having just a 200 wattage difference is not enough to make me want to buy a 2.0k from DC but i know those amps are pretty strong and can handle alot. thats why i figured id see what yall would do in my situation Quote The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-train-13k Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yep theres your answer 1.09 ohm will definitely not give you 2500 load the amp at. 25 then maybe you'll see 2500 alright. not even at 15volts?

speedball1978 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 15 volts at rest doesnt mean shit bro...if you can hit your low notes at 15v then you would see a huge increase in power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean power.
