NoFearX18 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 OK... co as of now i have 1 D2 BTL 18" on a AQ2200D wired at 1 ohm...I want to add another sub and amp. So if i add another sub and amp i can either: -Expensive Method: Says this on AQ.com: 2 ohm Linked Power @ 14.4V @ 1% THD 4400 x 1 This means that i can link the 2 amps together and ill have 4400rms at 2 ohms correct? Then i will need to recone my BTL i have now to a D1 and then order another D1 BTL and i can wire it up. I think im correct with this...please correct me if im wrong! -Cheaper Method: Buy another AQ2200d and another D2 BTL and wire seperate power wires for the amps and run 1 amp per D2 sub. My problem here is that 1 is going to cost me much more and the other is going or seems to be alot more difficult tuning wise... Which should I do? ANY info is GREATLY appreciated!!!! Thanks in Advanced!, NoFearX18 Quote My Videos AQ + AA/Fi FTMFW!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 for tuning on strapped amps you just tune the gain and settings on the master amp and the slave follows w/e you set on the master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to have to pay like $200 or more (estimate) to recone my BTL lol... thing weight a ton and a half. Quote My Videos AQ + AA/Fi FTMFW!!!!!

Torres Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 i'd just buy a sub/amp, and link em with a maxx link. saves the trouble of reconing. or you could put a divider and run them in separate enclosures and run each amp separately but tuned as close together as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 if you wanted 1 sub on those two you can have a D2 BTL, but if you want 2 subs i think you would need D1's yea...but i dont know why you would want 2 subs on 2 strapped amps instead of 1 sub on each amp independently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 wrong wrong wrong all you need is another d2 sub and amp to run strapped at 2ohms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFearX18 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) i'd just buy a sub/amp, and link em with a maxx link. saves the trouble of reconing. or you could put a divider and run them in separate enclosures and run each amp separately but tuned as close together as possible What are you refering to when you say divider? Doesnt have to be a separate enclosure tho does it? lol if you wanted 1 sub on those two you can have a D2 BTL, but if you want 2 subs i think you would need D1's yea...but i dont know why you would want 2 subs on 2 strapped amps instead of 1 sub on each amp independently Id prefer to do it this way because all in all its cheaper. i can get the amp and everything and dont have to recone the BTL i have already. Im just unsure of how easy it will be to tune 2 amps... Edited January 26, 2009 by NoFearX18 Quote My Videos AQ + AA/Fi FTMFW!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamenNoodles Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Colton, I would honestly save up and get the woofer reconed so you can run them master/slave. Its a lot easier tuning wise obviously and not to mention, you will only need one bass knob. OR you could look into a maxxlink.

A maxxlink will make it to where i can run 2 D2s on 2 amps? and i wont lose any power or anything? it may cost about the same to have the sub reconed as it would to buy a maxlink... hmmm. i need to email Fi Quote My Videos AQ + AA/Fi FTMFW!!!!!

Boon Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Why can't you listen to James? 2 D2 subwoofers wired series/parallel gives a 2 ohm final load! Strap 2 AQ 2200's to it and you get 2 ohms total or 1 ohm per amp and everything is fine! If you recone to D1's you are screwed. Good work everyone that recommended that option. EDIT: And you don't need a MaxxLink! When you 'link' amplifiers they see half of the total load each. That's why the ratings are usually @ 2 ohms. You want a 2 ohm FINAL load so you want D2 subs, you link the amps (so no MaxxLink needed) and you use a common chamber box unless you have some enormous reason to do otherwise.........
