ALPINE408 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Posted September 14, 2012 buy a bigger amp the liitle bit of added power of a 1200 watt amp at .5 ohms is not worth the current draw you will face a bigger amp at 1 ohm will most likly pull less current and give ya more power 5 Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?
cmegorm250 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Posted September 14, 2012 I can always strap another aq1200 @2ohms that's what ill prbly do. Quote
n8ball2013 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Posted September 14, 2012 id realistically predict about 200 watts extra out of that amp. it will be inaudible Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

cmegorm250 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Posted September 14, 2012 Yeah doesn't seem worth the risk. Quote
ChevyBoy95 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Posted September 14, 2012 the extra draw will be a big jump, and the power increase will be small.

cmegorm250 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Posted September 14, 2012 Just curios how box raise would play into this ? I have no clue how box raise works. Quote
HunterJohnson Posted September 14, 2012 Report Posted September 14, 2012 Box rise is calculated at certain frequencies and is really used in spl bc you can tune a box to a certain frequency and minimize the box rise. Musically bass plays all different frequencies so you won't notice "box riSe" Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
Jordan Guess Posted September 14, 2012 Report Posted September 14, 2012 you could spend the money to buy a second AQ amp to strap it and ACTUALLY SAVE $, rather than doing the electrical upgrades necessary to run something so small on .5 ohm. although upgraded electrical is always going to be good. an added point....your electrical that you have will probably be fine for two of those AQ's strapped at 2 ohms, if im wrong somebody else can chime in on that.
