Sundown sfb low bass performance?

Actually it was Bass11 that said it not me.

I am buying a RTA cheapo one next month probably one of those budget daytons.

Hey, I picked up one of the SIA's today. My guy said that many more SIA options should be available real soon.

Full bridge is just a different bass, a different sound ... they get loud n do rated but I don’t prefer thier sound ...

You got the quote and username mixed up (Coolhand20th). I agree though, he is on his way (lol)

As I said before I didn't say that Bass11 did and yet no response from you, not shocking though.

I think I'm going to leave this topic alone. Some people on here are too emotional. They guy from Emf has a video comparing the Smart 3k to a half bridge. He was explaining the difference, but I'm sure you would call him a hater. He also tested that overrated Rockville Punisher. I'm pretty sure I'm getting the sfb 5k, and when I hook it up I will know immediately if the low end is lacking. I will report back once I actually run it, but it won't matter because people love to live in fantasy worlds where the L7 is a great sounding sub. There is another well known youtuber that tested a lower power full bridge on a sub, and he said the same thing about the bass. If power is power like everyone on here wants to believe Sundown shouldn't be able to sell one Salt amp unless people love to waste money? Maybe Sundown figured it out since they swear up and down that their amps are different than Brazilian amps?

you know where my low end lacks,my ability to be able to spend 1100$ on a single subwoofer

I just bought and hooked up a Sundown SFB 8k replacing my rockville Dbcomp5 and so far I do notice it does not hit the lows like my half bridge did although I still have some tuning to do the SFB is louder but hopefully I can get it tuned to hit the lows like the Rockville did

So let's see some termlab numbers or some RTA measurements to quantify this.

I noticed a difference when I switched from the SFB line to the SIA line of Sundown amp. The SIA just sounds a little cleaner and lower.

I will not accept any answer that doesn't include SPL or RTA measurements. Humans are very poor sound measuring devices and our ability to remember sound intensity is even worse.

Well there's a reason why Sundown is phasing out the SFB line of amps in favor of the SIA line. It's because they are better amps.

More reliable at least. Until we see some A/B comparison with some precision measurement equipment I'll reserve my opinion on any of this.

And you know that will never happen.
