brewer_brewer Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 nice. i would like to see some head to head tests on 13.8, 14.4, 16, and 18 volts. i'm sure you'll win on all though with cleaner watts.

Derrick824 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 There are a lot of noobs that assume all 3500w amps are the same and/or use the same board & parts just cause they look similar. This shows positively that is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Haha, the AQ3500 looks tiny comparred to the saz3500.

sundownz Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Power Test Completed. I know someone will ask these questions SO READ THIS FIRST : 1) AQ-3500D Tested First - Battery Bank had a charge for several hours from our bench power supplies 2) SAZ-3500D Tested Second - Only a few minutes behind the AQ-3500D Test 3) THIS IS WHY the 3500D had much more voltage drop, I had the entire surface charge gone from the batteries 4) Both amps set wide open to be apples to apples. ----- AQ-3500D POWER TEST: http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/_AMP_POWE...0D/CIMG2679.MOV AQ-3500D VOLTAGE TEST: http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/_AMP_POWE...0D/CIMG2681.MOV POWER : 2400 Watts AMP VOLTAGE (measured) : 71 V AMP CURRENT (calculated) : 33.8 A ACTUAL IMPEDANCE (calculated) : 2.1 ohms SUPPLY VOLTAGE : 14.22 V ----- SAZ-3500D POWER TEST: http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/_AMP_POWE...0D/CIMG2682.MOV SAZ-3500D VOLTAGE TEST: http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/_AMP_POWE...0D/CIMG2684.MOV POWER : 3020 Watts AMP VOLTAGE (measured) : 77.2 V AMP CURRENT (calculated) : 39.11 A ACTUAL IMPEDANCE (calculated) : 1.97 ohms SUPPLY VOLTAGE : 11.99 V - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 The power difference measured correlates very well with the parts count difference in the output section. I have all of the subs out of my Jeep or I'd try them both at 1/2 ohm. - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Boo, damn biased opinion coming from you Jake. J/k, I'm not surprised at all. Just to do so you should put up some test results once the batts charge back up and show the people what the amp will make in a FAIR comparrison instead of giving yourself a handicap. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundownz Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 And again - I am not out to trash any products! The AQ amp IS less expensive so it is a great value product - seems to be well built all in all especially @ the cost. - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
