    AQ2200 probs.

    Thanks.. me too bud.
  3. Today i got my AQ2200 (used) and hooked it up to my dvc 4ohm(wired to 1ohm) type r's just to see how it works, it was dark out so i couldnt/didnt really have time to tune the amp correctly.. but i did do it by ear real quick., and i have to say.... i was REALLY dissapointed My PDX1000 performed/powered better.. i set the gains on that by ear, but acually sat there for about an hour listening to it and turning lil by lil. (not like i did with the AQ) My question is should i be afriad its defective? oh.. and do i HAVE to use the bass knob? - i dont like having one. Thank you dom.

    lWhat kinda of DMM should i buy? I looked at some today and they all had different power rating. 200-750volts sound good? to check an amp you will need a dmm rated for 200 vac or more ( that should be plenty of head room to test ) and one that also has a amp clamp that can do 100 amps ac would be nice but you wont NEED it but it can save you lots-o-time doing all the math. - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices That one will work, yes?

    New shirts..Hats..

    You stole the words out of my mouth I was actually going to suggest that... a flat-billed fitted cap WOULD be awesome! Julian - If anything else, I'm not sure if you have a Lids store near you but they might be able to stitch the Fi logo on a plain black fitted cap.... the problem is that most places that do monogramming like that only work with preset fonts, but if you look around there are surely places that deal with more detailed customization (like alteration shops that do work for soccer/baseball teams) I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!! 59Fitted FORTHEWORD!!!

    can you elaborate? If I remember right.... Turn the gain to maximum on the amp. Hook up the gain knob and turn it up to where the clipping indicator flashes but doesn't stay on all the time. If it flashes supposedly it's ok but if the light stays on, then the amp is clipping. SSA Member Shizzon would be the one to ask about these amps. Well i hope SSA Member Shizzon opens this thread.

    My clipping light didnt turn on... nor did the power light... I wish i woulda known the amp is worth 2cents before i bought it.. I'll email him now.

    What could be defective that it would cause it to have less power output?

    AQ2200 probs.

    I used the same power and ground as my PDX1000, all the connections were soild. Im runnin' on stock now, with a yellow top. I just hooked it up to see if it works.. and it was just shitty. All the settings on the h/u were on stock/normal like when i first bought it beacuse i had to disconnect the car batt.

    Need Help Building a New Box

    Id get different drivers. The box port can be calculated with a simple formula. Box volume in cubic feet X 16 (the amount of port area in square inches per cubic feet of box volume). For example, 3.4 cuft X 16 sqin= 54.5 square inches of port area. Try to stay within 10% of this number. The port length should be 16 inches deep. This tunes the boxes to about 40 Hz. Some port lengths do not allow for 16-inch port depths without some sort of modification. The rule of thumb is not to let the end of the port get any closer to the back wall than the width of the port. So back to our example, we have an internal box depth of 12.5 inches. We need a 16-inch deep port. We will have to bend the port along the back wall to get the full port length. To calculate where to make the bend, subtract the port width from the inside box depth. 12.5 – 3.75=8.75. We must bend the port at 8.75 inches, then continue the port parallel to the back wall for an additional 7.25 (8.75+7.25=16). You now have an L shaped port totaling 16 inches in depth. Audioque.com

    Componets for my S15

    Im going to be doing some fiberglass work to my truck door pannels and figured i might as well get a new set of comps while im at it. I'd like my budget to be around a few hundred bucks, id like to include the amp in that budget too haha. I was thinkin' about some AQ 6.5s but to me they just dont look like they will do the job... anyone have a set? Then i was thinkin' about a set of Type R's, buutttt then again i'm not really feelin' it. So just throw some options out for me Dont forget to add the prices too! Links are great as well

    I know I have a car audio addiction when......

    When every family member has a system... even your grandparents.. You conviced your teacher to get a SPL system... Your teacher calls you out of class so you can check if their amp is grounded good.. You have bass test cd's on your Itouch so you can have bass everywhere you go.. You had a system before you knew what lugnuts were... Your digital camera has dozens of videos of your system..the same system.. You almost got banned from starbucks for having the system on in the parking lot.... You look at everyones reasons for being addicted and say "hahaha me too!".. to every single one... When you have more bass test cd's then a library has books..
  23. I like Audioque, there customer service is great. Dj is great guy and there products are the same. Sundown is an awesome company as well dont get me wrong, but as said before you wont hear the difference between the two.. i heard/seen them both on the same sub/box/car, proformance was very good. The AQ2200 is REALLY cheaper and it's new. I'd rather have a new fresh amp then one that was blown up.. ONLY if the company rebuilt the amp i would get a fixed amp, cause itd be like new.. no? My vote - Audioque.
