SAZ-1000 RMS question

Recommended Posts

my friend has 3 single voice coil 4ohm pioneers and he asked me what would be a good amp and i recomended a sun down SAZ-1000 but it would be ran @ 1.33 ohms on around 12.9 volts. each sub is 400 watts RMS so thhats 1200 watts RMS. i was wondering if anybody could tell me about how many watts the sundown would put out under these sercumstances. i dont how much extra power the pioneers could handle so i would like the RMS a lil bit lower then 1200 just to be safe. they r also a few years old.

the saz 100d i do not have much experience with it a good amp but can't tell you how much extra it's putting out because each one is different you would have to talk to some one that know more about it then me. but any ways those sub if there like other pioneers i have had and seen used are not that good but as you are saying he going to live with them the only amp i can think of right now that is one ohm stable and a tad on the cheap money wise side is the kenwood excelon x1r it will putout and feel like 800 watts rms at 1 ohm when they claim 1200 rms at 1 ohm this is at 14.4 volts. do not know if you can live with that or not i under powered them for one because there pioneer it mite work with them. check ikesound.com and amazon.com and e bay.com for the cheapest prices on those this is if the sun down is too big for them per some one Else's say.

You can put those subs on the Sundown amp, just don't turn the gain up as high as you would with higher wattage subs. The gain can be used to limit output power. But with 1.33 ohms you'll probably still get about 1000 watts out of the amp, since it's underrated a bit. So you'll be fine either way.
