Crescendo 3500 or 2 AQ 2200d

should sound great right up to the point the amps go up in smoke taking the subs with them.

"Right to the seen of the crash!" hahaha just reminded me of that...

if you want some power cheaps you can do 1 sundown 2500d. ive seen many 1500 play at .5ohm all day no problem so the 2500 shouldnt be a problem, esp since you are upgrading your alternator.

like i said before bro... with what your going to be running, and wanting to run a single amp... the 3500 is going to be your best bet... i'll bet a months salary that it will pull less amps than the 2 2200's, which is where you will run into the most problems... due to your batt situation. and since your building a daily, and not a comp vehicle, i dont really see you doing too many burps, and "pulling 700 amps" lol... just dont see that happening

and like i told you before... monitor your voltage, and if you see alot of drop, than add a smaller batt in the location you have, just to help out

okay, his subs are DUAL 2, so what? hes going to run the 3500 at 2 ohm and maybe get 900 watts to each sub? no. you either need an amp to do 4000 @ 2 ohm or get two 2000 watt amps that d0 2000 @ 1 ohm to get the power you want.... and on music your amps would be pulling about a 3rd of what they fuse at on average

I still dont understand how one amp pulling the same power as two is gunna pull less amperage?

And besides it doesnt matter he already order a 3500

oh well.

Thats what I said... If it goes up in smoke at .5 he will be out 600 bucks cuz the warranty will not cover .5

one amp at the same power will almost always be more efficient than 2 .... just sayin... not saying that every amp is that way... but in this case, since the bc3500 is fused at 300, and the 2200's are fused at 200 each, i have a VERY strong suspicion that the 2 2200's would pull more amps than the single 3500.

i highly doubt seeing that crescendo go "up in smoke" at .5 as well (their previous models were warrantied at.5)... unless he completely ***** up the electrical... but thats why i told him to be cautious at first, and always monitor his voltage

all depeneds on his electrical. Also there new stuff is made in a completely different place. They changed where the amps are manufactured.
