2 Aq 2200d's or 1 aq 3500d on 2 hdc3 12's?

[myjaja 10+ year member]

Im going to have a box built for my two hdc3 12's. The box will be 4.5 cu ft and probably tuned from 34 hz - 37 hz. I already own an aq 2200d. Should i keep that and add a second one or should i sell it and get the aq 3500d? thanks

oh, my subs are d1's. So itll be 1 ohm strapped with the two aq 2200s or at 1 ohm with the aq 3500d.

2 2200 would give a slight bit more power but I'd leave it to install looks. Is it easier to mount 1 big amp or 2 smaller amps stacked or mounted on corners. Either way they will whale and if there's any power dig I doubt your gonna notice. But better have an alt or many batts lol their power hungry had them both.

A pair of 2200's strapped at 1 makes some good power. I clamped 5500 out my teammate's pair. But, in this case, I think the way to go is the single larger amp. You can run it safely at 1 daily and wire to .25 for shows or comps (if you're into that sort of thing).

I have the room to mount both. I dont know about the 3500d, but I dont really think the 2200 is power hungry. I have it on my stalk alt with a secondary battery wired a .5 ohms. Its actually not bad. Ill be getting a ho alt though

Its going to be for daily. Im thinking the two 2200s might be too much for them in daily use. I just want whatever thats better for the long run.

Thats what i was also thinking.
