I just posted it today... and before anyone gets carried away I will re-post my qualification on the test :

"The AQ-3500D performed quite well, IMO, at a 2 ohm load after rise -- but as one would expect based on the differences internally the SAZ-3500D was able to produce more power."

"And again - I am not out to trash any products! The AQ amp IS less expensive so it is a great value product - seems to be well built all in all especially @ the cost."

looks like a very fair and reasonable test to me.

The numbers reflect the product though, no big surprise to me.

AQ isnt built quite as beefy as the sundown obviously from the pictures and the tests, but at the same time the prices reflect the amps very fairly.

I wish I could afford either amp.... but its a fantastic comparison and definitely shows how Sundown builds their amps to perform in all applications..... I'd love to find a good used 2000d for my Q's or if db-r could just get some repaired ones in.......

Interesting comparison......and I forsee this thread being a few pages long before the day is out.

Looks fair, hoping the 3000D drops down some to get another one for 6K of sexiness! Woooo

Sundown & AQ are made in completely different factories.

I thought the DD amps and AQ amps were made @ the same factory.

I thought the DD amps and AQ amps were made @ the same factory.

They are distributed from the same place. Doesnt mean they were both made there. AQ is all over seas now. I dont think DD is but once again, i could be wrong.

IIRC the AQ amp is made in a different but also very high quality factory in Korea than our amps.
