is 1500 enough?

[deafsquadtahoe 10+ year member]

im bout to order 2 audioque hdc318's and im wondering if 1500-1900rms each is enough to get um going and maybe get 150db outta them?

im gonna run either 2 AudioPipe 1500's @.5ohm or 2 audiopipe 3000's(1 on each sub)

i figure ima need more batteries and maybe a dual alt setup for the 2 3000's to stay at 13.8 or higher vs with the 1500's i can put a deka 31 on each amp

so should i push them harder with 3000rms or about 2000 from the 1500D at .5ohm

I would go with an AQ2200 for each.

Agreed..

But if your set on running the Audiopipe amps, I'd run a 3000D to each one...the board on it is just 2 Audiopipe 1500D boards linked together.

They should be able to take it, just watch the gains. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

aint tryin to pay that much for 2 amps... not right now atleast..

the audiopipes are a cheap way of getting the rated power... i mean i can get 2 3000s under $700...

1500 will make them move. You might make 150 in an suv, but thats all dependant on so many factors.

Their s a guy here, heres on the boards here under John Carr.

John runs 9 of the Audiopipe 3000D's and he seems to have good luck with them...but this past weekend he smoked 3 of the 9.

They are cheap rated power yes..

I've got a set of Sundown Audio 3000D's FS in about 3 weeks.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

If your interested in the AQ 2200's, their is a guy here locally to me with 2 AQ 2200D's for sale. I believe he's asking a little under $600 for both amps.

If your interested, I'll get in contact with him.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the subs have 3'' coils correct?

if you build the enclosure correctly and have minimal impedence rise and everything is setup right....

then there is not a 3'' coil on the market that can take the heat of 1500 watts for an extended amount of time without heating up/smelling/failing

You need to take into consideration how much of the 1500 watts will actualy be usable. Figure in box rise and it is more like 900-1000.

I would opt for a pair 2200's.

The AQ3500D will be shipping in two weeks. Gain it down a little and you will be fine.
