Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 1910 Registered: Nov-07 | i contacted DD about changing my 9515G to a 12 with different coils, cone, dust cap, blahblahblah i came across some pretty cool info from steve at DD he said that anyone who already has DD or AQ amps can get the AQ3500 for $599...a $100 discount i knew they were connected somehow - like DJs son owns DD or something i would assume that there is a discount for any aq amp when the person already owns AQ or DD subs this is news to me....am i the only person that didnt know? |

Gold Member Username: DuckaShelby Twp., MI United States Post Number: 1219 Registered: Jan-08 | News to me, but I have heard rumors about the AQ3500 being significantly overrated like 2200wrms @1ohm @14.4v(something like that). Any news on that? I don't mean to slander AQ... I am just trying to get the facts straight. |

|
Gold Member Username: DuckaShelby Twp., MI United States Post Number: 1221 Registered: Jan-08 | Thanks for clearing that up... Any reason why they were tested at closer to 2 ohms rather than 1? |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 1915 Registered: Nov-07 | ducka - sundownz (I assume this is Jacob Fuller, sundown owner) said: "The power difference measured correlates very well with the parts count difference in the output section. I have all of the subs out of my Jeep or I'd try them both at 1/2 ohm. And again - I am not out to trash any products! The AQ amp IS less expensive so it is a great value product." ^^^ i would guess thats why i think its cool how well jacob markets his product all while speaking well about his competition |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 12551 Registered: Jun-04 | That was with box rise to 2 ohms I guess. |
|
Gold Member Username: DuckaShelby Twp., MI United States Post Number: 1223 Registered: Jan-08 | Thanks guys. So the AQ3500 actually would do close to 3500wrms @ 1 ohm? I would like to see how the AQ2200D does at 1ohm @14.4v. |
