(4) 12"DC Audio Lvl 4 Which Amp


Recommended Posts

Hi im going to be buying 4 12" DC Audio Lvl 4 and im not sure which amp I should go with. I am looking at the AQ3500.1D OR 2 AQ2200 strapped. Which would be better for me. Im running a 180amp H/O alt and a Kinetik 2000,1800. All 0 gauge wiring.

Or do you suggest another amp that can power as good or better for same price?

Also was thinking about maybe stepping up to the Lvl 4 XL but what amp could power 4?

Let me know Thanks for your opinions in advance =]

From those amps I'd go with the 2 AQ2200's and don't strap them just run one on 2 subs and one on the other 2, match the amp settings and run at 1ohm and you'll be getting a little over 1100w per woofer, you may need another battery too but you'll be good to go :good: also I'd have to suggest XS Power over Kinetik if you don't have batteries yet

i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch...

going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box...

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth.

A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also?

Why run them at 1 ohm when i can get the same power at 2ohms strapped? And why would you say the AQ2200's over the AQ3500

4 lvl 4s + 2 AQ2200s FTW. if ya go with 4 xls then 2 aq3500s FTW. 2 2200s would give the level 4 more power than the sngle 3500.

I would go with the 3500.1, it will put out that power if not more, pulling little less amps while doing it.

I dont think i have the electric to power to AQ3500 =[ or i would lol.

I think im just gonna stay with the Lvl 4's but thats where im stuck. I know the 3500.1 will draw less than the 2 AQ 2200.Just dont know which way to swing?

The AQ3500.1 will do 4300x1@1ohm

The AQ2200x2 will do 4400x1@2ohm

Read the specs people. The AQ3500 is rated 4300rms@1ohm and are definately under rated. If your voltage stays up they'll easily do 5k. There a few members here who have proven that

Thats what i choose the 3500.1 instead of 2 2200's. ive read the reviews how underrated they are.
