March 20, 201114 yr You're on the really low side. People running 2 AQ3500Ds well have been in the car audio game for a while and know what they're doing. When you're overpowering, you always need to be on the lookout for odd sounds and smells for when you run full tilt.
March 20, 201114 yr Author with this being a very new system to you I dont think you should go throwing 3500 at each sub your first go around. Have you considered extra battery's and possibly a high output alternator?yea i know im going to need all that and how many batteries will i need also which high output alternator do you think i should get if i run 2 3500
March 20, 201114 yr If i had the guess? Two alts making ~350 amps and somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 xs3100's. I would buy one aq3500 and see how easy/difficult it is for you to keep the voltage adequate on that before going ahead and buying two. Why do you want 7000 watts for two BTL's? Just because some guy out there on youtube is doing it? I doubt the BTL's are made to take 3500 daily... if they were, they would probably be rated at 3500 watts. So i would buy ONE amp first and try it out before buying two. Adding another one isn't really difficult at all
March 20, 201114 yr Personally with all the questions you have i dont think you should run 2 3500's. Under powering your subs a little isnt a problem.. i run a sundown 1500D to my single 18" BTL and people are amazed its only a 1500 watt amp, sure it could take more, but i dont see much more making a huge difference. its up to you, dont go off what other people do or think on everything. Bunch of youtube video's may show people doing it but there is alot more to it. just cause one guy can do it doesnt mean you can. I suggest not going over the rated RMS for those subs, if you end up going with 2 3500's then just understand your going to need quite a few battery's, i dont know how many exactly, and you will want a high output alternator no matter what, look at DC Power Alternators. https://www.dcpowerinc.com/ they are some of the best.

Adding another one isn't really difficult at all ok i got you and you two have reason in what you tell me, so I AM A go with one aq3500 and 2 15 btl 1ohm that sound right and what alternator amp am i gonna need for that and how many batteries
March 20, 201114 yr Author So ok what amount of amp am I gonna need to run one AQ3500 and how many batteries? I wanna be on the safe side when It comes to this because I don't wanna damage anything and I think this is the last question hopefully and I want to thank you guys for all the help and sorry for all the questions I'm a noob at this and learning little by little
March 20, 201114 yr If you are a noob at this you are in over your head. You should start smaller otherwise add an "oops" factor to your budget that will cover your amps and your drivers.
March 20, 201114 yr Author Yea and there is gonna be lest over space its an h2 and money isn't much of a problem.
