From: SAZ-3500D / AQ-3500D Side-By-Side

The price for both amps makes a big deal. Sundown over a 1000$ and the AQ 700$. I dont see why you would pay 400$ more for a few hundred watts. Heck to hear some people say it on this forum you wont notice a few hundred watts by ear. So why spend the money.

You're supposed to be a competitor right??? A few hundred watts in my Explorer = 1 full db on the TL. That's a big difference in the lanes.

rated power isn't everything...

A single kicker 2500.1 in a local competitors install produced a higher SPL reading at 0.5 ohm than a strapped pair of sundown 3000ds at 0.5 ohm!

I seriously doubt it had anything to do with volt drop with over 10 runs of 1/0 wire and a bank full of battcaps.

This was done a year or so ago but just making a point.

You should know that there are more variables other than power. That's one of the SMALLEST variables.

that is exactly my point to making that post because the kicker amp clearily is rated to provide less power but registered a whole 1.0db higher on the mic.

It's just a comparison, what's wrong with a little competition between DJ and Jacob's products?

Just cause MY amp does more power than YOUR amp with less voltage Hahaha just kidding shizz

oh i called that one a LONG TIME AGO and i've never owned a class d sundown amp.

Back when only the 3000D was out and was their most powerful amp, i already knew that amp was ideal to the AQ3500d.

It was a pure toss up as too which i would buy but the aq3500d was still cheaper.

When the saz-3500d came to the market, there was no chance.

Sundown amps make exceptional output at low voltages period, can't argue there.
