Amplifier suggestions

[playboy_d 10+ year member]

I just bought a set of Skar Audio VVX 12's and I plan on wiring them down to a one ohm load and running the set on around 1200 - 1500 RMS. Off top I'm thinking SAX-1200D or AQ1200. I'm trying not to spend more than 350

Sundown runs a lot cooler and is better quality. Also better customer support. AQ is cheaper and is good enough quality for most applications but runs a little warm for my liking at 1 ohm. Personally I would go with a used or refurb saz-1500d for $250-300. Just personal preference I would imagine. Pay a little more for the better amp, backed by an owner who does you right. Or get a pretty good amp at a good price. Not making a slight against aq for customer service. Jacob just goes above and beyond what is the norm.

love my aq1200d, its under my seat that touches it, so it has no room to breath, but its not at all hot.

sundown will prob do more than 1200@1ohm.

i know sundown is nice, i have a sundown 50.4, but how can u pay $394 for a 1200, when u could buy a 2200 for $389. i have had my aq amp for years, not 1 problem

What's the difference between the saz-1500d and the v2 I tried searching and couldn't find much

i "think" dont quote me ok, that the v2 has a better power supply
