I've just send db-r the money through paypal for it. $ is low these days comparing with €, I was very happy to see the price in Euros(€) !!! don't want Cresc or DC, sorry ! They may have very good amplifiers, I might try them some day. I keep it Sundown for now. Thanks guys !! I'll let you know the results when I get it !

I need to try them before. but that's a nice idea !!! We will buy at least 2 sets for this price !!! Tirefryer : they were cheap even before, I can see the old price ! when you're used to focal and Davis, it's surprising !

My friend loves this brand !!! But these speakers are so cheap !!! Why ? Not that we like to spend money, but here everything is so expensive ! And Davis Acoustics is priced like Focal, both are French brands. He will be scared of the price, but can buy several sets !!! He never had so cheap speakers.

Thanks guys I have some readings to do now ! Yes Madisound and parts-express deliver to my island !

Ok so now here are the final options : Sundown saz 3000 refurb from db-r for $700 OR Sundown saz 2500 new from Woofersetc for $ 815. I'm waiting for shipping quotes for those 2. Do you think the old saz 3000 is a good choice (reliability wise) ? I'm afraid to buy a refurbished old amp, even from db-r. It would be my first used amp bought on the internet. but the price is right for me !

Just a little curious : why not under 2 Ohms ? Get all that Cresc power ! I was scared to do it the first time, but finally my car like it ! I added a second battery just to be safe (after 2 years with the car !).

Reliable : that's what I'm looking for ! Crossing (all) my fingers when I say : "never ever had a problem with 6 Sundown amps" I'm trying to get the saz 2500 !

Nice looking amps. I'm looking for a bass amp, but their small price (even a bit cheaper than the DC amps) scares me !!! And the 3-4 weeks delay too ! I don't like pre-orders. You never know when you get your equipment. With those prices, they will sell faaaast !

Wow ! 4000 on a 15" bl ? It can handle that much on a burp ?

I play cd only in my car ! My Pioneer prs 88 does not accept usb, it needs another equipment that i don't want to buy .

good choice finally. Cheap but good ! In a huge ported box, this sub should be really loud, very loud ! show us some pictures of your system in your car, please !

I don't know for your calculations, but 3 ft3 is good for a sealed box. I ran mine in a box like that on 1500 watts, and it was sounding very very good. But you loose some output if you compare with a ported box. Stick with the 3 ft3 box.

Those pick-ups are huge ! But I don't feel the box on the back seats, take them out and put the box on the floor. What do you think ?

Great challenge ! I want to see that.

You sell that Icon and buy an Xcon DVC1 and a second saz1000. Run it ported, you'll love it! If you have room for a big box, get a second saz1000 and a second Icon. But I think the new Icons are different than the old ones. Good luck!

Welcome

Thank you all for these informations. I don't see DC amps so often in builds, and there are very few topics about them. I think I've read that they were selling outside the USA only. It seems they have changed their mind, now ! DC 3500 SAZ 3000 refurbished Saz2500 used (when it comes) Crunch 3000 new, cheapest solution ... Still thinking ...

A DC 3500 is cheaper than a Sundown 2500 ! Got it ?! I don't know how are the build quality and the parts used in it, but it's a new option for me. MAP vs MAP it isn't. Dealer vs Dealer it isn't. So obviously you got quoted between dealer and MAP. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Sundown 2500d was close in output. Really, they are that bad ?! I don't think so, but who knows ? Not me !!!

Thanks Ford302 for the info about the way to strap amps ! I did not understand the .4 .8 thing ! I got it , now ! Audioque may be cheaper, but I can't have them, and I don't want them neither. The 2000 w is cheaper than a Sundown 1500 ! I can always find cheaper, like Audiopipe, Crunch,...

A DC 3500 is cheaper than a Sundown 2500 ! Got it ?! I don't know how are the build quality and the parts used in it, but it's a new option for me.

I was told if everything is good in the output section today then its going to be shipped back to me today. And I personally wouldn't go care for the prices of the DC amps. From what shizzzon told me, they are expensive and nothing special is added to the table. But its just me based on what shizzzon has told me. I've just receive an answer from a South East dealer, and they are not expensive at all ! they have a 2000 w and a 3500 w models. Not really what I'm looking for, but with such pricing, I may go that route. I will not post those prices here, bu they are niiiice ! I'm afraid to run a 3500 watts amp on my car, and going from 1500 w to 2000 w won't change a lot for me !

Ooh yes ! Very nice build. I'd love to make a listen. You gave me some good ideas !

I like your new sig ///M5 ! Thanks for keeping the gyal pic !!! Sorry, back to topic !

I will take a look at these Crunch amps. I don't know where to find the DC amps, I need to look at their website. Thanks for all the ideas, guys. I'm not in a hurry, even if the money is burning my pockets !!! I need to wait and think seriously about what I want to do. But I have no problem with shipping, I know what it is, and I pay what I have to pay to receive my equipments. I've been doing it for years now, not only for car audio ! One more thing : how can I strapp 2 saz 1500 like Frod302redneck said ? 1.4 Ohm each ? How can I do that ?
