amp suggestion

[project98sierra]

Recently purchesed 4 sq sdc2.5-10-4 would it be better to run 2 q1-2200ds or 1 q1-3500d. This is where I'm confused the 2200s running a pair at 1ohm or strapped on all 4 at 2ohms or the 3500 running them all at 2ohms

Or am I not even looking at the rite amps for this build budget for amp or amps is $1000 can I get some advice please

2 2200s strapped would be way more power than 1 3500.

2 2200s strapped would be way more power than 1 3500.

Incorrect but correct... The 3500 is actually rated at 4300w.

BUT here's the difference.

2x 2200 strapped at 2 ohms = 4400w

1 3500 at 2 ohm = 2600w

When you strap the amps at 2 ohms, each amp sees a 1 ohm load.
