If it was easy to sell a sister for a AQ20 then I'd be first in line to sell. Make that a pre order deal!

No face needed, just pictures of said sisters (as long as they are 18+ )

formerly known as Blue86f150

its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies.

Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive

Love my AQ20. Fucking love this amp so much. Maybe an NS1. To answer the original question, 500 watts probably wouldn't be too big of a difference. 1000 watts would.

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

You need to not look at it as a 500-1000 watt change. Look at it from a percentage standpoint. What percentage gain are we talking about? And keep in mind that a 100% gain under ideal circumstances is a 3db change. So going from a 2500 to a 3500 for example may be 1000 watts difference. Sounds big, but it is actually only a 40% difference. That 40% difference would likely only be a less than 2db gain under ideal circumstances at best. That's the way I look at increasing wattage. Yes, it's oversimplified, but you get the idea.

so then as an example if i had a aq2200, how many dbs would i gain if i were to strap them now at .5ohm each and would be running at high 12 V's?

lol, gotta sell em to an asian man, they're all underage.

i do like the ns-1's just heard the first batch had some problems and dont wanna be faced with those

going from my skar 1500 to saz 3500 was a HUGE leap

same subs SA-12's

ill be goin from my 1500 to a 3500 as well, but it'll be on 2 10's instead of 1 12, so i should see quite a bit of a gain.
