[mikesbassrace 0]

right now i have a fi ssd on an aq1200d but i want to get a btl and maybe score the free cooling option before july 29 but i haven't been able to sell my aq1200d so i'm thinking bout keeping it and just buying another one and strapping them together but i will only be able to run it at 2 ohms so what would be better 2 aq1200d's @ 2 ohms or 1 aq2200 @ 1 ohm ? and how would i wire the 2 aq1200d's? this is my first post so sorry if it's messed up at all lol

you have 2 options. buy the aq2200d and a BTL d2 and wire the sub to a 1 ohm load. OR buy the other aq1200d strap the other one and its now stable at 2ohms so then buy a BTL d1 and wire it to a 2 ohm load. either way but make sure you buy the right one (d1 or d2)

This is for the aq2200

This is for the 2 aq1200ds

Use these for wiring help.

Punctuation is key, I would just buy another aq1200 and strap them, just make sure you buy the D1 so you can wire to two ohms. In your manual it should show you how to strap them, if they're strap-able.

yeah all aq amps are strappable

Be aware, if one amp fails.. it WILL cause the other amp to fail as well. That could be a very expensive break.

good point. didnt think about that. but think about it. if he bought an aq2200d it has the same chance as one 1200d failing right? Since he already has one 1200d just get one more. BTL d1 wire to 2 ohm.

I would post the AQ1200d on the F/S thread and see how many bites it gets, if it gets a lot of interest then i would sell it and buy the AQ2200.

As for the same chance as failing, there's a lot of things that come into amps failing lol so i can't answer that question without some doubt.

I have never heard of this before, I'd like to see some more information on this. This maybe an AQ thing, but i've never seen this happen, ever.
