Will (1) D3100 get me by?

[c0smo kram3r 10+ year member]

I plan on running (2) AQ 2200D's strapped @ 2Ω. I have a 220A alt & the "Big 3" done.

If you guys believe that this won't get me by, I'm open to suggestions.

Oh yeah, this will be a daily setup w/ music.

i think my might need a lil more then that, im running 3000 watts at 1ohm and i got a mean green alt and a red top and still have really bad voltage drop

Aspect drops in the 11volts maybe less. If your getting all the power out of the amps.

Hmmmm....

Do I have to run two of the same model?

Like, could I run (1) D3100 & (1) D1200 in the back & stock under the hood w/ an isolator? I think that should be sufficient, do yall?

That's about 4400 rms. alot of power, I would get two D3100 for the extra room

yeah i'd be running 2 agm batteries if i were you, plus the charging upgrades. one battery on that much power is asking a lot, unless you're only going loud for very short periods.

Well, you're running a yellow top & a d3100 w/ a lil less watts to power than me. How's it doing for you? I might go that route.

I'd go with 1 d3100, two if possible. d3100's can support 3.5-4kw from what I've seen, but obviously your putting out a bit more then that, so two would be ideal. If you cannot budget two PM D3100's, go for a D3100 and a smaller PM AGM batt, maybe the 2700 or 2400 or something.
