Sundown vs. Addictive Audio

[Chris McNeeley]

Ive sold addictive audio, and we dropped the line. Never impressed me.

if you want more upper end with the sundown use a smaller ******* box and slightly higher tune.

i have a woofer that is similar to the nightshade in topology and it play well into the midrange in the correct alignment.

Addictive is local to me, about 30 min away. So a ton of ppl run it. Its junk. Bad soft parts, lots of amp failures. Not a single impressive build from any of their local sponsees

Please tell me the 5 cube box tuned to 30hz is not a prefab

Yea they should just stop with ADdictive audio and start new with vital power, heard good things about those amps and about to try two of them in acouple days hopefully.

Well its a proven board. They didnt do anything but a rebadge. But the locals have good luck with it. Id never run it, but i have no qualms suggesting it.

my buddy bought two the fix 500.2 and had immediate issues and defects with both of them. RMA'd and still had issues while his ct sounds, cadence and some other cheap amps never had issues.

Local had a 1st gen fix and later a 2nd gen.... combined they must have blown 4 or 5 times.

I guess thats why they call them "the fix"

No thank you

The locals legitimately think Addictive is far superior to Sundown, DC, b2, DD etc. It is comical

Can't go wrong with sundown, for amps and alts i would go with Singer and Ampere Audio. Look into FU audio and SSA for subs as well. A pair of 1250's from FU or a pair odlf X'CONs. Should do well, I would stay far away from AA right now,I had bad luck with AA and the cs was **** just a fyi...this is a drunk post brought to you by jameson whiskey

Addictive is based in Fresno, and im in a little town 30 min south. Basically Fresno to Bakersfield is all addictive.

My concern is I listen to such a vast range of music I want EVERYTHING to sound good, because well, who wouldn't?

You might be overthinking the whole sounding good part when you are about to throw 4.5kw at them. There is this point where Sq kinda gets tossed out the window because you are covering your ears anyway and it feels like your head is in a vice. And then you say "God ****, this sounds great, I can really distinguish the tonality of the is 155db 40hz bass line that is making my vision blur."
