the 3000d is for sure the better amp. they'll both do rated power. i'd choose the 3000d because of reliability.

yea ive heard that the crunch is a solid amp, the audioque 2200 is good but Crunch does more power

Your gonna pay more for the Crunch 3000 but you will also get a little more power. Cant go wrong with either amp though.

Crunch. Both for 12 and 16 volt setups. Not sure if AQ can handle 16volts. Crunch for the better amp. Search around and find a used one for a good price.

In this case I'd go with the crunch as well. USed you can get it for cheaper then the AQ, and new you can find it for about $20 - $70 more then the AQ, but you'll be getting quite a bit more power with the GP3k.

I actually owned a GP3k, and it was great. Still have it, but now it's blown //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Crappy mounting spot though on a box that flexed, so it was death to solder joints.

I've heard good things about audioque, I've never really heard anything out of crunch. Plus at $389 for the audioque new, it can't be beat.

Id go with the crunch. Crunch is known for being cheap, but the 3000d is gonna make rated or better. The other groundpounders are still solid build but rated peak. The 3000 is solid and proven, will make more power than the AQ2200. Really comes down to if you need the extra power and what name you want.

Both good choices.

Hard to find the crunchs NEW. Best bet is it find it used first search for used then go and look for new. Not sure but I think they said new crunchs will be out next year.

To Add I have two. And have loved them both great power at 12volts and 16volts. Go over on the dbdrag forum type in GP3000D in the search. I bet you wont find a single complaint about them at all.

I use AQ 2200's and I love the amps but the Crunch is definately a better and stronger amp
