kickass audio Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 Hello everybody, Im looking to get a new amp to power my 12" Kicker SoloX i own. I will be replacing a Precision Power PC2350 amp and i was recommended an Audio AQ3500 d.1 from a few users on this forum. My question is for those who own this amp.... 1.) Is this amp really great sounding? 2.) What size batt and alt do you have for running this beast? 3.) What did you hook the speaker up to (resistance level)? (NOTE: my kicker solox is a dual 4 ohm coil so i can only drop it as low as 2 ohms in parallel) Any help please get back at me.

What did you hook the speaker up to (resistance level)? (NOTE: my kicker solox is a dual 4 ohm coil so i can only drop it as low as 2 ohms in parallel) 1. YES this amp puts out a very clean power 2. I have 2 of these amps with 4 XS Power D1400s and a DC Power 350XP Alt 3. I have mine strapped to 1.4 ohm so that equates to .7 per amp. At 2 ohm that sub will most likely be begging for more power. see if you can get a recone of dual 2 ohm or dual 1.4 NoFearX18 said: Nick will bang just about anything.....LMAO....pun intended On 4/13/2010 at 9:51 AM, meade916 said: i was like DAMN, Chode is hardcore! he makes james look like a friendly person LOL! trainman0978 said: I dont know who is worse with the buttholes Chode or Big P...

But since the woofer handles 2500 rms and the amp puts out 2600 at 14.4v it should be a decent match right? Hell the amp i have now is bridged to 1400 watts and the woofer sounds great but its not loud enough for my preference, and plus i want to feed the woofer the most it can and not really make it exceed its rms (although im sure it will) but im not doing sound comps too much, more like music on a daily basis at very very loud levels. 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress
