AQ2200 vs AQ1200 on 2 Fi Qs

[CadillacMatt 10+ year member]

Hey guys. I was wondering what everyone would recommend to push 2 Fi Q 15s, 1000wRMS (a bit more power handling with BP Option). Wired into one ohm, it would seem to me that the AQ1200 would be working close to full capacity (if not clipping) to push these bad boys. I know the AQ2200 is more than enough, if I set the gains low it should be a good match right? Thanks

Not even close,get teh 2200

are you getting an aq1200 for each sub? If so that would be perfectly fine. You could also just get the 2200 and run both subs off of it.

Definitely want to stick with one amp for the sake of simplicity.

If you get the Bp option I would go with a kicker zx2500.1, Sundown 3kd, gp3000d, etc...

if you don't get bp I would just go with the aq2200d, but you could use that even with bp if you want.

AQ 2200D....or even as one poster suggested, maybe a ZX 2500.1..

The 2200D would be plenty for it though...especially with BP..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

go with the 2200

more headroom, less likely to clip, and better upgrade options

yeah 2200 will work,.

Id recomend the kx or zx2500...after using both amps on a pair of Q's

He wants to do 2 subs... and a Q with bp can do 1300-1500 watts so thats why I would suggest something more powerful if you want to go with bp... but you can also just run the 2200 with bp and the subs will just last longer and have more resale value. Certainly wouldn[t hurt.

Ok guys thanks a lot for your help! I've heard the Q's can take quite a bit more power than advertised but like Burton said I want them to last a while. Especially in a ported setup I'm gonna be wary of over-driving them.
