why not 4 lvl 5s on 4 aq 3500s? that would work out nicely..

and that saves a ton of $... compared to 8 amps..

4 AQ 3500s isnt that a lot more than the sub is rated? Why 4 AQ 2200 ha

you dont have to run stupid power to the subs to get loud, i ran 1 7k to 3 lvl 5s and was pulling 55s on music at the head....

4 3500s vs 8 2200s, you will get alot more power out of the 8 but the lvl 5s love 3000 rms daily, which after rise, you might be sitting at 2800~ or so with the 3500s, which matches up to them perfectly

but 4000+ out of 2 2200s strapped to each lvl 5... and that requires a shit ton more electrical..

its almost 20kw with 8 2200s its around 14kw with the 3500s..

8 2200s are 3440$

4 3500s are 3200$

but you are also saving alot by not requiring as much electrical to run the 4 3500s as you would the 8 2200s...

4 3500 isn't that a bit much why not just four 2200?

just in case you missed this, i ran level 5s for 2 years on 3000rms clamped a piece, and beat the living hell out of them.. they will be reliable at that power range and continue to work for years with that power, if its clean.. LOL

Wall a pair of 18" XL's on a single AQ3500.1d. Spend the rest on your electrical. You want clean power. I really don't think you understand how loud just a wall with a pair of properly ran 18" XL's will be.

Not to mention less strain on the car.

If you have to point out to him that his electrical is quite insufficient, don't you think a DC 7.5k is a little much for him to try to put on a pair of XL's? :pardon:

But really, less subs, less amplifiers, more electrical.
