AQ1200 or NINE.1 for 1300-1400 true rms

[loud-n-low 10+ year member]

nine.1 does 1200 at 12 volts,so at 14volts it will put out 13-1400. the AQ does 1200 at 14 volts...is that underrated,or is 1200 the most it will do? Alos...how much is a brand new RD1750?

Aq's aren't very underrated. I'd get the ia7 all day long over the aq, 5 year warranty really means something. Basically same amp as well.

i love the sound of nine.1's

Im just saying, that the Aq and the ia7 are the same amp, so if you are going to go with the aq consider the ia7 first. My ia7 benched at 1250 iirc

I have two Orion 1200d's for sale. Very efficient I can show you it clamping 1300 . 185 shipped each

Most nine.1's at 1 ohm with strong electrical will net you about 1500....I think the most benched ever at 1 ohm was somewhere around 1600.....maybe almost 1700.......I'll see if I can find the thread.

its not always about power, nine.1 has very clean power and a high damping rate. IMO, with those factors at play, an amp sounds different, warmer, etc

Here's one of the threads, but there is another out there soemwhere...

Note the place where they are getting 1547 RMS at I think 13.7v.....

Very true 99.....

I would think so. I think Buck was running this setup at one time...maybe he can chime in here....
