    What Amp should I use?

    I'm not disputing that, but i think u missed the point of my statement to the gentleman. FWIW, When the Brazilian amps started coming in, there weren't many 1 ohm stable ones and most of those which hailed 1 ohm stable were still not reliable under 1 ohm load. Whether it be poor QA or build...

    What Amp should I use?

    Some of them can do 1 ohm, but most of them can't or they go nuts or pop under 1 ohm load. The Taramps smart models and bass line models can do 1 ohm but most of the others don't particularly like it. Most of them are 2 ohm stable. Those who wire them down to 1 ohm know what they're doing and...

    What Amp should I use?

    Firstly I'd recommend you stay away from Brazilian amps if you're planning on wiring down to 1 ohm unless you know what you're doing because they don't really like it. I like to match my subs power with my amps with a little headroom on the amplifier side. What I mean is in your case for...

    So why is nobody talking about the Sundown full bridge amps?

    Quite so! And that is the bite in the arse that a lot of leading brands have had to suffer by the hands of the Chinese manufacturers. Then there's the DS-18's and Hifonics amongst others who just go the Chinese and pay to mass manufacture cheaper versions of complex board designs and schematics...

    Taramps help!

    Set your gains properly. If you're still clipping then you can try introducing a line driver to your system like an Overdrive or Matrix (Audiocontrol) or whatever line driver you can get your hands on to boost the input voltage. Mind you, this won't make your amp play remarkably louder per say...

    So why is nobody talking about the Sundown full bridge amps?

    Indeed I agree, it's still a long road into full bridge. It's been around for ages and not many brands were really into developing it. I mean most half bridge designs have been around for like forever with hardly any advancements made to to them over the years but hopefully sundown can build...

    Are these amps good?

    You did realize that the ratings given for this amp is at 14.4V @40hz right? You will have to ensure that it is seeing that voltage to get anywhere close to that 5K. Are you running on upgraded power? If not, then lessen your expectations on rated power a bit if you're running stock power. It...

    So why is nobody talking about the Sundown full bridge amps?

    Full Bridge is the new way forward in technology IMO, more modern parts, higher current FETs, allowing you to do more power without necessarily having to upgrade your vehicle's power supply. Not recommended obviously, If you really want power, then you've got to provide adequate voltage to your...
