This. Remember the power you need to add to hear a volume difference. Get another AQ3500D while they are on sale, and you will be set man.Doubt u will see much of.any gain over the aq

I hear ya, but you also have to take into account a lot of people, especially with newer cars with ELD's and all that dumb **** hardly charge IN the 14s, like the civic for example, it only charges over 14 when it senses that it needs it, AC being on, window being rolled down, etc..It makes sense. But if they're rated at a lower voltage, then I consider that "proper voltage" for that amp. And why rate at 12V? I mean rating at 14.4V either came because that's what a car does when on, or because you can get larger numbers on paper. I'm betting on the latter. Which makes it dumb. I'm just saying, it's all dumb, manufacturers should all get on the same fucking page. Give numbers for both 12V and 14.4V if that makes everyone happy. But don't make us as consumers fucking guess on what's actually going on.
It's marketing, it's business, I understand that. And that's why it won't change. This was just a buzzed rant by me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
My cars computer keeps me from charging higher than 14.4 most 06 and up vehicles are limited by cpu has nothing to do with it being a dc power altI hear ya, but you also have to take into account a lot of people, especially with newer cars with ELD's and all that dumb **** hardly charge IN the 14s, like the civic for example, it only charges over 14 when it senses that it needs it, AC being on, window being rolled down, etc..
And then we have people who actually do charge at 14.4 where most amps are rated, but do they see 14.4 consistently? Nope.. And if they have a system in their car with anything short of STOUT electrical, they won't ever see 14.4 hardly.
Then we have me, my DC xp keeps my sheit charged at 15.3 all day.
I guess what I'm trying to get across, is even if they rated the all amps at 14.4, you're still gonna have people either not getting rated or getting more out of it because of whatever they charge at, electrical, etc..

Yeah it does considering its internally regulated to charge at 15.3. Brand doesn't matter, but where it's regulated to charge at doesMy cars computer keeps me from charging higher than 14.4 most 06 and up vehicles are limited by cpu has nothing to do with it being a dc power alt

I would hate that I wanna add one more Deka but my electrical is pretty stout, especially when driving. I really do love idling and having "voltage drop" into the 14sYep and my car says all it wants us 14.4 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I see high 15s for like 2 secs when I start lol!
No budget really man just kicking it around seeing who's got exp with certain things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifWhat's your budget? You have more options if strapped is in the cards. I'd go 2 AQ2200D's and call it a day. Or BC's.
Yea at 1100 rpm I lose .8 volts at most full tiltI would hate that I wanna add one more Deka but my electrical is pretty stout, especially when driving. I really do love idling and having "voltage drop" into the 14s
You'll really like the crossfires if you get em, their great little amps.No budget really man just kicking it around seeing who's got exp with certain things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Local and for a buck twenty a piece brand new, 106 AHWhere you getting your dekas and how much just curious
See that eld bs wont work on my car ..it has afm which cuts half the cylinders and slows belt speed down witu auto adjust tensioner ..so i gota get someone with a progranner to turn off the afmI would hate that I wanna add one more Deka but my electrical is pretty stout, especially when driving.
