UnderLoK Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) Whenever you are looking at installing an amp just look at the max draw, look at the stock alt, and then plan accordingly. In this case the amp's max draw is 120a so find out what his factory alt is and go from there. More than likely he will just need a yellow top up front with some 1/0 for the 3. pecifications Model AQ1200D Frequency Response 20Hz—250Hz Signal to Noise Ratio 100db Low Pass Crossover 24db / Oct Low Pass Crossover Range 20Hz—200Hz Subsonic Crossover Range 10Hz—50Hz Input Sensitivity 0.2V—8V Output Master / Input Slave Connection Yes Working Voltage 8V—16V Efficiency @ 4 ohm 84% Damping Factor Less than 150 Fuse Rating 40Amp X 3 (Linked 240 Amp) Output Power 14.4V @ 1% THD 510X1 @ 4 ohm, 870X1 @ 2 ohm, 1200X1 @1 ohm Output Power 14.4V @ 5% THD 1470X1 @ 1 ohm Dash Mounted Remote Included Dimensions 12.75″(L)x9.27″(W)x2.35″(H) Edited June 5, 2010 by UnderLoK Quote If at first you do not succeed, you are doing it wrong! -ARSCheck out my walled TBSS build over here4 Fi Team 18s on 2 Cactus K9 DS18 doors on 2 MBQ 1Ks, Vifa pillars on a STL4.500 Pioneer X8500 6 XS Power D7500, 1 3400S Second Skin 2 270a Mechman Alts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merk_master Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Couldn't I also do watts/voltage= AMPS? take stock alternator an add draw to it to know which alternator he would need? Quote hopeful noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merk_master Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 For Big 3 what Gauge should he run? 1/0 would be overkill Quote hopeful noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTSKIP Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 With the big 3 , you only want to do it once...... go with the 1/0 if there is EVER a chance that he will upgrade in the future. 4ga will be better than stock but it mught choke off upgrade potential Quote Does this smell funny to you?

C-Fizzy Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I just installed my aq 1200 with a stock 80 amp alt, stock batt, and big 3 done in 1/0 and I don't drop below 13. The amp is very efficient. Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

cubs_fan0718 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I would do big three, new starter, and a batt in the back Why a new starter?, OP- BIG 3 in 0ga, 0ga ran from front to back and atleast a deep cycle up front if u got the money throw one in back. Alot of people run XS i dont unfortunatly i got a YT optima up front. If he ever decides to upgrade beyond what hes looking at then a new alt would be a must have.

Alot of people run XS i dont unfortunatly i got a YT optima up front. If he ever decides to upgrade beyond what hes looking at then a new alt would be a must have. he meant a new battery under the hood. that is the first step. and this bugs me, so im going to say it THE BIG 3 IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS A HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR IS RUNNING IN YOUR SYSTEM THE BIG 3 IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS A HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR IS RUNNING IN YOUR SYSTEM THE BIG 3 IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS A HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR IS RUNNING IN YOUR SYSTEM you guys are passing along info that you "heard" but you have no concept on how electricity works. MY recommendation for your friends system is upgraded battery under the hood. if he has a lot of voltage drop and issues of that nature, then he should upgrade his alternator to compensate for the amperage draw.
