Amps for 2 Mags

Ia 20.1...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
for 500 shipped i have to agree //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
the US Amps MD2 would be great for them IMO maybe even a MD3 if money permits they are very nice amps
I have used both the MD2 and MD3. They will take .5 ohm, but I don't know if they will take .5 for years in the hot sun. The MD3 new is a little more expensive than the typical used IA 20.1.

Personally, I would go with the kicker over either. You get the best power at 2 ohms. I would rather have 2.5k@2ohms than ~2k@.5 ohms.

I may be wrong but I think/believe/understand it takes a more stable electrical supply at those lower ohms.

 
I need to make an official announcement... but I have decided that if you pair an SAZ-1500D with Stereo Integrity woofers I will cover 0.5 ohm usage under warranty. If you have an invoice for a package deal from one of our dealers, or can otherwise verify your usage on SI woofers with two seperate invoices you are covered.
If you e-mail Lukas at Audio Junkies or Ben at Low-Hz, either one of them is authorized to sell Sundown Audio at below the listed MSRP, it is simply the MAP and not their minimum sale price -- so you can maintain your $500 amp budget and receive a package with full warranty coverage.

Hope that helps.
Just curious, where are the amps made? I looked at your site and couldnt find it. Thanks.

 
Did you have some sort of bad experience with the SAZ-1500D or do you say this since the 20.1 is a more powerful amplifier? If it is the former I am curious what it was since I haven't heard anything negative first hand from any customers, if the latter, then you are right -- the 20.1 is a larger and more powerful amplifier.

For 2 mags... assuming he wants to REALLY push them.

Of course I don't know the price point he's targeting either. Because I'm lazy.

SS will be running the MD3 at .5 ohm 8 of them i beleive, may be mistaken though

Ah //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I see what you are saying. If he is going to either:

1) Compete in SPL

2) Use a small enclosure

He would probably want to have the extra juice from a 20.1 on hand, as you said. If he's using a moderate to large enclosure you can wang a pair of Mags to full excursion with the power from a single SAZ-1500D. I know Nick (SI) and Ben (Low-Hz) are quite happy with the results of a pair of Mags and an SAZ-1500D.

Of course, it would all depend on just HOW loud he wants to be and his enclosure size (power needed to get to x-max).
