victor8881 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Running a 1610D. Hifonics BXi to my HDC3 15, which provides me around 1400-1500 watts. If I switch to a AQ 2200.1 amp which provide about 600 more watts, will I see an improvement that will justified a 390 dollar price tag? Quote HU: Kenwood KDC-MP745U.

Quote To buy list: 1x AQ HDC315 Copper Coil sub, 1x AQ1200D amp, Wood for sub box, Wiring, Car Alarm, Time and MONEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 yes you will see a good improvement...upgrade that electrical though!!

kmalinich Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 no. the 2200 is good for 2 HDC3s. unless you know what you're doing, leave the hifonics in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the james who fused your amps last week upgrade to all quality 1/0 wire and get an alternator Yeah I know I keep tossing this up in the air...bigger amp, or keep what I've got and get that alternator and electrical wiring beefed up and crank out more from what I've got now. If I'm hitting 13.6 at long notes, if I can get this back up to a stable 14. I would hear noticeable improvement from this alone right? Quote HU: Kenwood KDC-MP745U.

AI James Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 honestly your bxi never see's rated output the 1600 puts out roughly 1200rms so upgrading to the 2200 AQ amp is going to be a big upgrade...if you only drop to 13.6 currently thats more then sufficient and you wont till a diff from 13.6 to 14 flat. but you WILL drop more with more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmalinich Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 if james is setting up your stuff you'll be fine... get the 2200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to AJ the owner at Audioque, before I even made this an option, because I felt the same way thinking I might blow the sub. AJ told me the 2200.1 amp is a perfect match for one HDC3 15. Said that my electrical system needed to support the 150amp requirement of the amp, and if my electrical system could support the amp it would do just fine. that 1200.1 is pimp though too. I'm running a Hifonics BXi 1610. it's give me 1500.1 at 1ohm when I'm at 14.4 volts... I'm dropping at max volume to 13.8-13.7 and I still scored a 141.2 in a trunk with no pull down seats!
