kickass audio Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Alright so i have a guy listing a ma audio hk-4000 amp and i like the price for it. but im wondering is this amp better than getting an audioque 3500d.1. It apparently puts out more power than the aq amp but there are so many ratings about it on the internet im still trying to decide. if anybody could please help me out with this i would greatly appreciate it. note: i dont care about how massive the amp is (although the ma audio amp is as big as i want to get since its the size of my current box) but i have a dual 4 ohm sub that i can wire to either 2 or 8 ohm loads (before impedance rise) and im thinking to get another kicker solox in the future so id like to have the possibility to expand in the future.

kickass audio Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 what would you say i need for the electrical system? i have a pretty good current hog of an amp now that sucks 200 amps of power for a long time and i ran that on my old 250 amp mechman alt and the s3400 batt and never fell a single volt (not even .1 volts) below 14.6 volts even at full tilt. 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
n8ball2013 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 you are going to probably double that 200 amps and throw a litlte more on top of it too.

kickass audio Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 you are going to probably double that 200 amps and throw a litlte more on top of it too. ok, but im only planning to at the moment run it on a single kicker solox woofer at possibly 2 ohms to only get like 2500 watts for it to run well. its so under powered right now at 1400 watts. 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
04SDExplorer Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 i had one a few years back, had a 200 amp ho alt, and 3 small stinger batts..still DRAINED my electrical...when up in flames one time and still worked like a charm but IMO i will never go near one EVER again. 2004 Explorer Limited 24" Lexani "pyros" wrapped in 255/30/24 pirelli's 270 Amp MechMan Alt.

kickass audio Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 wow, that sucks. ive read a lot about this not doing rated power, getting hot as hell fast, and all that. but i also have read some stuff about my current amp that if i back it up with a hefty electrical system i can bridge it to 2 ohms. im not really daring to do it but its still a thought. 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
04SDExplorer Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 i think rms @ 2 ohms on my electrical i was right around 3k or a little less. There's better amps out there, i would keep looking. 2004 Explorer Limited 24" Lexani "pyros" wrapped in 255/30/24 pirelli's 270 Amp MechMan Alt.

kickass audio Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 what amp would you recommend? again i want a little more than my rms power of the woofer(s) so im not working the amp too hard. i would like to have one where i can do 2600 or more rms at 2 ohms and like 5500 rms at 1 ohms (im kinda reluctant to use 1 ohm because of the huge current draw) but id love to get my hands on a rf t4k amp but im not spending that much money on an amp. my limit is like 700. 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
