Silver Member Username: EvoixmrPost Number: 158 Registered: Aug-07 | Is there any other amps that aren't rated at 14.4v that would put out closer to ~1400w@1ohm? |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6376 Registered: Jul-06 | Umm dude most amps are rated at that........ your excluding a lot of good amps if you're going to discriminate that way. Besides the AQ amp is underrated a bit, will do a little more power than it claims. BTW I wouldn't put more than ~1000w on any Q even with BP...... those subs are prone to tinsel slap issues (I wouldn't even buy one for that reason), but most cases where thats happened people were overpowering them. |

Silver Member Username: EvoixmrPost Number: 160 Registered: Aug-07 | Thanks for the warning on the tinsel slap issue. My fear of running an amp that is rated at 14.4v is cuz I just had zx2500.1 and spent like $1200 on elec. upgrades trying to get enough power to it, never did so I sold it before I even got to run it. My cars electrical system has a reputation of voltage drop from rolling windows up/down even with a HO alt. My brother-in-law has same car and had to install a hyperground kit just to get his engine to run right. That being said I would never see anything close to expected output from an amp that was rated at 14.4v. Of course as always I'm the newbie so correct me if I'm wrong. |

Now, if if that amp were rated spot on (its actually a bit underrated), it would give you ~1000w at 12 volts, which is the max you want to be putting on a Q anyways. |
