Opinions on what to do here?


Recommended Posts

I need some opinions. I bought the wrong type of subs and im just realizing now. I cant send them back at this point. I bought a D2 when i needed D4. Should i just sell this one and get the others?

its a SA-12 D2. I didnt know i couldnt wire 2 D2's @ 1 ohm...

you could always get two smaller amps and strap them.

or get an amp that does power at 2 ohm

do you already have an amp

I just dont wanna spend a Sh*t load of money. Im gonna be powering two of them, and to find a Amp that does that kind of power @2ohms will be expensive

kinda, i was going to be getting a AQ2200D (SQ-2200D) and going to run it at 1 ohm. i can run it at .5 ohms but thats kinda risky

well you're gonna be in at least another 2 hundred for recones id imagine. im not sure what an sa costs to recone. have you tried contacting who you bought them from to see if they would swap for d4s. or did you buy them used.

there are companies that claim their amps are .5 stable

massive

crescendo

soundstream

Its not my choice and any money you save on amps should be turned around into your electrical to support the added draw

That mean that it wouldnt be put at risk right? and probably going to be spending more money right?

those amps are rated and capable of doing .5ohm, but without the proper electrical to back up the extra current draw your still at risk of damaging the amp...

I think you would be better off doing like N8 said and going with 2 amps 1 per sub or looking for a 2ohm stable amp that has the power your looking for...

AQ/SQ2200 so you could do like a Crescendo BC3500 which is 1900w at 2ohm, and have power on hand for future upgrades or changes....honestly either way your going to need to beef up your electrical, if your running at .5ohm or a 2ohm workhorse...

2 AQ/SQ1200's would probably be your cheapest option, its a little more than a AQ/SQ2200 and a couple hundred less than the Crescendo BC3500
