Jeep YJ Build

The SQ 2200 has proven itself to be a good budget amp that can take a beating. Almost bought one before I got the Audio Legion 2500 for whatever they were selling at liquidation

Is this strictly an audio build or can i look forward to some suspension and drivetrain upgrades?

It already has quite a few upgrades, I beat the crap out of it on black and double black trails, Windrock, Sandmines, Tackett Creek etc.. HP D30 front, locked, Yukon moly axles Revolution 5.38 thicc cut gears, rear is a Ford 8.8, detroit full locker, moly axles same gears. Rubicon express suspension, Barnes diff covers, Barnes one ton xover steering, Barnes skid, 1/4' armor and tied sliders etc... Its a built little trail rig that I daily. It now has Metalcloak full front tube fenders as well. I am trying to get my one tone axles done and my v8 ready to swap as well, but it takes time lol, especially once you pick up this hobby again.

Guys, I think I may go a different route on subs. I just decided I can give up a lot more space by not placing my fuel tank up top in the back. Now I can have up to a 36" wide, 24" deep and 14" tall box. If my figures are right that's 1.75 cubes for 2 12's I may put this beast up for sale or trade it for 2 really nice 12's. This sub is absolutely outstanding, it pounds and I know it will pound harder. But its just not going to be enough, I can already tell, its just my gut. Think I want to run 2 decent 12's.

Are they Korean built? If Chinese I still dont mind just trying to figure out the market. I did see a guts comparison of the 2250 against the skar 2k amp and the SQ amp had better internals. The CT amps have decent internals as well, but so does the Cab 22, but the warranty bit turns me off a little on the Cab, but they say they will go .05 all day no problem.

The 2200.2 is Korean and the 2250 is Chinese. I’m not a fan of CT Sounds just due to the owner and his past (he died and it’s run by family now).

The 2200 is the last AQ/SQubed amplifier Ive ran. It was pretty solid. The older AQ amplifiers were pretty stout and held up really good, and the subs as well. Prob should have kept those amps.The New CT Sounds CT 2ks and the 150.4 Ive gotten and tested and run one of the 2ks seem to be pretty good. Steller customer service and Response time on Email is quite impressive compared to others I deal with.

Nice! Glad to see you actually use it. 35's? 5.38 sounds low for those tires. Is the interior and carpet still all there?

There 5.13's not 5.38's, had to look at my receipt from ECGS lol. And yes 35's, Nitto Trail Grapplers. It has the little 2.5 is the reason for the gearing, if it had the 4.0 I would have stopped at 4.88.

Interior is all there but carpet is out. I am going to shoot the complete inside of the tub with bullet liner.

Whelp, I believe I will be just fine with this rfr3110 lol. Its started to loosen up I guess, thing is pounding, and just on a 600w amp in half the box it needs. I cant wait to get the box built and a 2k amp as well. This thing should rip lol. I have got to get my front stage in order though. I thought it sounded bad, but it was just the bass overriding it. Got some work to do.

I sold the Jeep, a little sad not going to lie. But I was starting to beat on a really nice old Jeep and felt bad. Bought a C300 Merc and going to start a new build thread. I will be buying an older Jeep to bust up lol, will start a build thread on it when I start modding as well.
