If they are D1 or D4, I would run the Sundown Audio SAZ-3500D and if they are D2's then the Audioque 2200D's. You cant go wrong with Sundown's CS....

You cant go wrong with Sundown's CS.... well actually after we decide on the amp based the on positive feedbacks i get then ill know wat coil to get, whether dual 1s for the sundown or dual 2s for each audioque! based on power output of the amplifiers cas i have seen guys said they gain more from one saz3000 rather than 2 audioque 2200d!

AQ amps are solid and all buttt... they put out there rated power at 14.4V like there supposed to.. Sundown do over there rated power at 12V.. now choose..

Ugh sundowns and AQ are both rated at the 14.4 volts testing voltage. Sundown 3500 http://www.sundownaudio.com/index.php/prod.../saz-3500d.html Audioque 2200 http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps2200D.htm I also tested a SAZ-3000d vs one of my SPL Dynamics ext-3000ds, and the sundown made about 560 some clamped watts less then my spl (with voltage well above 14 volts wired at .75ohm, 1.5 ohm after rise). Both are great amps however, Id go with whichever amp(s) you can get cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1992Chevy K1500 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 AQ's if your on a budget. Otherwise, Sundown.

kingsuv Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think the one Sundown Will be a more efficient and easier install for you then 2 AQ amps. You won't have to worry about fitting 2 amps and gain matching Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Nemesis-DJ Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...d-side-by-side/ hmmm 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.sundownau...0D/CIMG2679.MOV AQ-3500D VOLTAGE TEST: http://www.sundownau...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.sundownau...0D/CIMG2682.MOV SAZ-3500D VOLTAGE TEST: http://www.sundownau...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 I know this is not the 2200 but just for comparsism purposes Edited October 6, 2009 by Team Nemesis-DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
