Lite-On Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi All, I'm still looking for a new amp with enough juice to power my 2 year's old JL 13w7. I like to push ~1500W RMS to that sub. The AQ2200 amp has 2200W RMS+ @ 1 ohm, but is it possible to wire that amp @ 0,7 ohm? My sub has dual 1,5 ohm coils, so it can be wired @ 3 ohm, or @ 0,7 ohm. I don't think that the AQ2200 and AQ3500 amp deliver enough power @ 3 ohm load, so the only option is to wire the sub @ 0,7 ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option is to get the AQ 1200d, that will do about 1500rms at .7 Edited October 26, 2009 by CaptainzPlanetz Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

Decaf Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 if u want to upgrade later get the 2200 if u want something cheaper for now get the 1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 a w7 doesnt need even close to that 1500 you wanna put on it to get full output out of it, your just wasting money on power, invest in a better box design/box build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) ^^right, 750w on a 12w7 got it moving not to mention if u blow it from too much power it isnt cheap to recone at all Edited October 26, 2009 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite-On Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) I'm still using stock electronic, but i have plans to upgrade to 2x 200A alternators which should be enough to power that AQ2200 or AQ3500. I know that 2400rms is to much for a 13w7, i think i'm going to push safely 1500rms to it. Maybe i'm gonna sell that 13w7 in some month's or years, and get a BTL or Audioque sub... that's the reason for buying a bigger amp So it's 'safe' to run 0,7 ohm daily on that AQ2200 amp? How about the sound quality, does that change while running at 0,7 ohm? EDIT: 1500w RMS to much for a w7? What about 1250w RMS? I'm currently pushing around 500w RMS to it = way underpowered Edited October 26, 2009 by Lite-On Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 750 on it to 1000 is plenty to get all it has out of it any more is just a waste for a sub thats not even engineered to be loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 its safe to run .7ohm when u have the proper electrical to back it up on 2200 or 3500 1/0g wire, ho alt, big enuf batteries, great grounds 1200 is the most id do on a stock electrical wattage needed to reach max output depends on the box as well... there is no magical rms #... again a jl w7 only needs ~1000w... it has a soft spider and doesnt need alot to get groovy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently pushing around 500w RMS to it = way underpowered Back when I had 4 13w7's, I used 4 of the Slash 1000/1v2's and they did fine on them. So about 1000wrms on one will do you fine.

Lite-On Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks for the reply's The AQ1200 will power my 13w7 soon =D Does anyone know a nice amp to power my Phonocar 2/805 door speakers. They are rated at 100W RMS each, so i'm looking for an 2 of 4 channel amp with at least 100W rms at 4 ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
