tsuch20 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 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 =] Quote 2011 Subaru WRX Rockford Fosgate T1000-4AD (2) Sets of Rockford Fosgate T3 6.5 Components In the works: Rockford Fosgate T2500-1bdcp (2)DC Audio 12" XLM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumonskateboard6 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 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 also I'd have to suggest XS Power over Kinetik if you don't have batteries yet Quote Current Systems: 2011 BMW 335i Hertz HDP1 DC LVL3 12" Full Carbon Fiber 2002 Acura TlKenwood DNX9980HD2 DCLVL4 12" Subs with LVL5 Parts D.7 CoilsDC 3.5kHertz HSK-165 up front HCX-165 RearHertz HDP4 AmpDC Power Engineering 260 Amp AltBig 3 and amp powered with KNU 1/0XS Power D2400 Up Front 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would you say the AQ2200's over the AQ3500 Quote 2011 Subaru WRX Rockford Fosgate T1000-4AD (2) Sets of Rockford Fosgate T3 6.5 Components In the works: Rockford Fosgate T2500-1bdcp (2)DC Audio 12" XLM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 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.

Socky Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I would go with the 3500.1, it will put out that power if not more, pulling little less amps while doing it.

tsuch20 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 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 Decisions Decisions.....

Robert8252 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 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 Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 It doesn't matter what amps. You don't have the electrical for 4-5k from any amp. Add another batt or two in the back and it should be ok to start.
