So you got the dual 2 ohm verison, so you need an amp that will do around 800rms or so at 1 ohm?

[bigrank916 72]

If so, this would make a great match with a touch of overhead. Plus its sundown so its hard to go wrong there.

SAZ1000D refurb

yes . so i wouldnt need a 2ohm amp?

An audioque AQ1200 will work with the correct settings and will also be useful if your wanting to upgrade.

Dual 2 ohm means that each voice coil is at 2 ohm. When you wire the coils in parallel it will make a 1 ohm load or if you wire them in series you will have a 4 ohm load. You can also wire the voice coils individually @ 2 ohms with a 2 channel amp and run each coil to its own channel but that is not recomended because it will most likely sound like ass.

I also agree with this. Sundown makes great amplifiers. At this price you cannot go wrong if you don't mind buying refurbrished. To be honest it is like buying a new amp because it comes with a 1 year warranty straight from sundown and that amp is also not b stock which means it looks almost new.

I believe Chris modifies the amps a bit to put out more power and make them more reliable, not that they are underrated or unreliable though. In fact it's quite the opposite

with a budget of 250, dbr has used amps with a 1 yr wanrranty . it's the Saz 1500d

there's nothing wrong with to much power, he just has to use the thing between his ears, when his playing music

1500 watts is not too much for SSD in the right enclosure. What are your goals and listening preferences?

[Don Ganso 13]

Sorry dude... I just bought it... but I think the SAE-1200D is still there. Only a few bucks more and so long as you don't go crazy with the gain knob, it'll be a good match.

The 1500 is putting out close to 1800w and you wont hear a difference with that driver accept when it extends beyond its mechanical limitations. Unless you are doing a competition the 1000 or 1200 is fine. Why spend an extra hundred if it is unnecessary?

[slim2fattycake 85]

I never said anything about the sundown 1500d amp. I am just saying 1500 watts in general. I was going to suggest another amp but I doubt the OP would go with it anyways.

Most likely not. This is a sundown dominant forum and you will be considered crazy to prefer another amp.

[slim2fattycake 85]

Don't get me wrong, if I had the money, I'd go with sundown though but I would get the SAZ.

[slim2fattycake 85]
