Dan2427 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I was just on the phone with an alt company and he tried telling me I'm wasting a lot of money if I buy another AQ3500. He said I wont hear a difference, that only a meter will be able to tell a differnce is this true? I'm using all the equipment in my sig. I now know I will be goin with DC Power's 270XP for my Grand Cherokee.

tonedeaf Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) You would definitely notice a difference. Im sure those lvl 5s are laughing at the what, 1.8k they're getting a piece now? Thats a BIG maybe getting 1800 a piece. If you have no voltage drop and barely any impedence rise, then maybe...

zayres29 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 whoever you talked to is on crack it takes double the power to go up 3 db and when you talking about that much power 3 db is a big jump Quote Btw that was the first person.

Dan2427 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Right now I drop it Mid/high 13s if I rev the motor to 1500-1800 rpm at idle Im in the 12s Which is why I'm calling around for an alt. I will be making videos soon and getting it metered so I know the before and after with another amp! How do I figure out impedance rise?

skittlesRgood Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 you need to measure output voltage and amperage at the amp. so you need a DMM and a clamp meter.

EricR Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 It will be much louder if you add another 3500, whoever told you that is retarded. Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Dan2427 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Awesome, Thanks guys. I've talked to mechman and Ohio Gen. I havent talked to DC Power since I sold my last car. The alt guy also told me 4kW is one of loudest stereo's I will hear. I was highly misinformed from a guy I know with this alt. He said he was putting out 220 at idle for a 200amp alt so thats when I decided to call this place, then I got the story from the alt guy and He also said me for any alt over 200 amps will have to have custom mounting. He said everyone "copys" his design. That was when I realized I was wasting time calling him.
