That is going to come down to a coin toss, the only reason why I would pick the Sundown over the Rockford Fosgate is that it doesnt have an adjustable sub sonic filter. So that will only give you a small range for you to tune your ported box too, which can be a downfall to some.

i would say the saz1500d cuz is a not regulated amp so it can do more for the price , thats i was sold to sundown audio , amazing equipment for the price

Id go sundown. Ive owned plenty of RF amps and never had one let me down but the saz1500d is one of the best amps on the market today. Its seriously a step far above the RF and it makes way more power than rated.

We might not be carrying the RF much longer, as our 2010 prices at our distributor shot up above what we were selling the RF amplifiers for on the SSA Store, making it almost pointless to carry them. No way to compete with the massive on line giants that have thousands of RF/Kicker amps in stock or ebay wholesalers.

I've owned both. Both are good amps. But, I'm going to side with Sundown for the customer service aspect.

sounds like another coin toss..

but you dont see the ceo of rockford talking to his customers on SSA on a daily basis now do you? ..or at all.

and rockford is releasing a more new, more powerful version of that amp in may.. just an fyi.

sundown ftw!

i like the sundown i had the rf 1500 and it seemed like it centered its output around like 40hz. i had it powering 3 10w3s it didnt sound to good. i switched to a jl 1000/1 and it was like i had a whole different setup in there. now i use sundown and im done changin amps

Sounds like a box, tuning issue or you were using bass boost if it centered in that frequency (it wasnt the amp).

no it wasnt a box or tuning or bass boost issue....the boost was never used and the jl amp and the sundown made the subs rock acrossed all frequencys the rockford didnt and it was at 1.33ohms so it was gettin the power
