[pimpnyou204 10+ year member]

ok as the title says im curious which to do. Im getting 2 AQ HDC3 12s and i can get a good deal for hifonics bxi brutus 2000D i was gonna get 2 because i know they dont do rated. I had it before it was decent i oculdnt turn it up all the way but like i said it wasnt bad. I can get them for 250 each new but i dont know if i should do that or just get 1 AQ 3500d. Any input would be nice.

thanks

harder to gain match the two amps than one

Very true but with the same amp shouldnt be a matter of putting the amp gains at the same position correct? Their not gonna put out different RMS will they?

I would just get the 1 amp. I think it will work fine with those subs you have.

Those subs are rated at 1000w each, and your considering an amp that outputs 4300w?

I would rather only run 1 amp, not 2, but I think your looking at way too much power. I'd look for an amp that can do maybe 3kw.

every amp is mechanically a little diff with gains you would need to do it with a dmm beacsue even the same 2 amps the gains will most likely be off slightly

I agree, but you dont have to crank the gain all the way up.

Wooord. I'd look for somethin round 3kw and if ur still debating amp brands, go for the quality $hit. Go for the gusto man. It costs more outta pocket but u should never cheap out on performance if u can get a quality product. I'm poor so I play w/ cheapo faggot a$$ equipment. If u got those extra beanz, put them to good use
