Impalalpine Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 this thread cracks me up, the op says "i'm not asking which one is better" then proceeds to ask which one is better. This is why we can't have "vs" threads. damn noobs I asked what peers opinion on what was built better, which is black and white. I didn't however ask "which one is better", you're simplifying my question into something it wasn't. As there are many more factors and opinions into "What is better ____ or ____" Build quality is something concrete that can be observed, noticed and shared.

DJL Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 DC uses higher quality internals that will last longer and also they will not protect at super low ohm loads. AQ/SQ amps & subs use the best parts and production methods available. We spare no expense on our products. We give our manufactures an open checkbook for parts and production methods.. Each of our amps receive a factory burnin and are QCed at each production process. The AQ3500D.1 has a 4000 watt board which we rate at 4300 watts RMS. Our amps have stood the test of time and competition and have been proven 1000's of times for performance and reliability. Contrary to what the haters may say we don't use cheap parts or production methods. Don't confuse pricing with quality; many people think because our pricing is unmatched for products of equal performance and reliability we must use inferior parts. This is not true. We sell only factory direct. We do not support a dealer network or have "Factory Reps" on every street corner hawking our products. Dealers and so called "Factory Reps" add another 40-50% cost to the final price of the product to the enduser. We take that 40-50% , (dealer mark-up) and put it into our products and pricing. This allows us to bring to market top quality products at prices every one can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two question's I have for you if you don't mind, The first being I noticed the input sensitivity on the 2200 is up to 8 volts but the 3500 is at 5 volts max. My headunit is 4 volts preout, but it s common for these head units to do a little more than rated voltage to compensate for the long run of rca's should i be concerned about running 3500 up with 4 volt preouts? 2nd Question: I noticed the owners manual and website have different fuse ratings for the 3500 ( im assuming the owners manual was written for the first gen) and was just wondering which of the two ratings is correct for the modern 3500. thank you so much for your response by the way Build's consist of: 2004 Chevy Impala : Pioneer--------------------- DEH-X8600bs Soundqubed/AQ------ Q4-120 Rockford Fosgate---- Punch-500.4 Soundqubed/AQ----- Q1-3500D.1 Alpine----------------- 6.5's & 6x9's Subs: TBA All Knukonceptz and SHCA wire and rca's Home Music Setup (4) Soundqubed HDS200 15's in two separate 15.5 cubic foot enclosures tuned to 31 hrz --- XM radio hardwire Updates coming all the time on both builds n8ball2013 "bullshit.
