Im going to run 2 AQ SDC2.5 12's at 1 Ohm. I was looking at getting the AQ1200D. it puts out 1200 at 1 ohm on Output Power of 14.4V @ 1% THD and 1470 at Output Power 14.4V @ 5% THD. First question what is THD and has any one run this amp and how have you liked it.

142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at)

141 on music.

your going to want to throw at least 1k to each sub. make sure its clean unclipped power. an those would sound good. my bro has the 2.5 15" an that thing barely moves on 600 watts, still sounds really good. but could take more.

My build

98 s10 2.2

3 american bass HD 15s with psi soft parts. (on there way here)

atomic at-3000.1 (soon) 146.2 outlaw @39hz., bad alt an bad batt when termed (old 2 12" build)

alpine 6.5s in doors

infinty 4x6s in dash.

clarion cz201 HU.

mechman 240a H/O alt

stuff i still need.

SHCA 2/0 wire

SHCA 1/0 to 2/0 adapters

AQ1200 should be fine for the pair, especially since you're running stock, and the fact from what I hear, the AQ1200 is very effcient.

Thd is total harmonic distortion,

The total harmonic distortion, or THD, of a signal is a measurement of the harmonic distortion present and is defined as the ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic components to the power of the fundamental frequency. THD is used to characterize the linearity of audio systems and the power quality of electric power systems.

In audio systems, lower THD means the components in a loudspeaker, amplifier or microphone or other equipment produce a more accurate reproduction by reducing harmonics added by electronics and audio media.

which is basically how clean the sound is, and the lower, the better you speakers will sound in general. You will want to keep under %1 for music listening, the %5 is the thd before clipping usually, which would be good for getting scores, but not for daily listening.

I love the AQ1200. I love all AQ amps actually, lol. I've owned almost all of them. If money is an issue, especially when it comes to your electrical then I suggest you browse the for sale section and find a beast used amp with money to spend on a good battery and big 3.

1,500-2,000 watts would be nice for those subs

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Nice! Should definitely get those woofers moving now, but make sure to beef up your electrical to run it, especially hearing around alot that Soundstreams are a bit power hungry.

Well, if you're looking for a second battery, I just replaced my starter battery with this, and it's doing good so far for $90, still need to do the Big 3 on my end though lol.
