Help With Strapping AQ3500's Impedance...


Recommended Posts

I run mine .5 ohm strapped when I burp ONLY!!! Still get some volt drop as seen in this video, now granted my xs batts had been sitting for like 3 weeks and were low, but still with the quad alt kit under the hood, 900+ amps of current out of the alts, still got some drop and they won't play music at .5 strapped, just burp.

Thanks...i'm not looking to burp at all. I'm building the biggest wall possible tuned at around 28-30hz, so I'm looking for deep bass. I just have had an AQ2200 running daily music on .5ohms, and I was hoping that the AQ3500's would be able to do the same. I know the AQ's have had issues with the vertical mosfets breaking, and AQ not warrantying it, so I guess I don't wanna go with too much power, and have too many problems.

Well it can be done even with as little as 2 D3100's and 1 D3400 and one 220 amp alt, I did for about 1 month competing, only went to two shows like that, but still they held together, you drop to 10.5 almost instantly tho...LOL

LMAO.. see my point..

he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick:

I run my DDs at .7 strapped (aqs older brother) play music all day. i can get my slave amp to protect on me during real low bass (probably cuz its mounted on the box) but i can play music in the 52s to 53s also. Oh and i do drop to high 12s during a burp. but stay in the 14s during music.

Yeah but there is a pretty big difference in going from one amp at .5 ohm and a 3k amp at that to two 4k amps to .25 ohm each. They pull lots of current!!! And I tried to play music thru mine at .5 ohm strapped and they played for about 15 sec and then went into overcurrent mode as soon as the note changed, into protect mode and the whole time my voltage was in the 13's.

no no no, i'm not gonna have them at .25ohms each...I plan on running them at .5ohms each, being 1ohm strapped. I wouldn't think of going .5ohms strapped on music.

yea if you need more power sell the aqs and look for something different.. maybe sound digital? cactus sounds?

yea but i always had them wired like that they did protect more on music before. so i guess you are right. lol

I got ya now, I have no idea, i know they run all day at 2 ohm strapped and I have heard they do fine at 1 ohm strapped, so I don't know.

Can't...trying to please some sponsors, and get more, so I gotta use what they suggest. I guess I'll just go with the 2ohm strapped, and run em' like they are supposed to be.
