Best amp for Sundown E-10 v3, 500W RMS sub $200

Ordering the open box was a bad idea. The amp is completely thrashed. Livid.
oh crap man i think i posted that after seeing some one posted it on another thread, thought i was helping.. if they will refund u, theres a sq 1200 in classifieds here $175 i think.. i thought sonic would be better than that..

 
Oh ****! That's crazy, they should call that used, not open box. That ***** man, sorry to hear. Have you contacted them?

I'm calling in the morning. There was zero packing material or anything in the box. Just a loose amp flinging around in a big cardboard box. Couldn't believe it.

yeah sonic, another member posted it on another thread, i thought i was doing u a favor since amp had tested on dyno to do rated at that price., most peeps get stuff fine from them.. i hate it man

 
Still nothing from Sonic. Been effectively on (call back) hold since 7am this morning and have sent multiple emails and filed support tickets. I went ahead and re-ordered a *new* NVX amp for only $5 more, as there was a $15 coupon code. If dealing with Sonic fails I will escalate to my CC company.

Is the issue purely cosmetic?

 
Amp is on its way back. Had to pay for the shipping label which I think is unfair but at this point I just want it gone and my money back. Will never be doing business with Sonic again.

careful, they like to give instore credit instead of refunds bro. The SoundQubed 1200 is a bit outside of your range and power requirements, but its a pretty awesome amp for the buck. If you get your money back, id strongly consider that route. Pretty hefty and reliable amps. That being said, i still havent heard anough bad stuff about the CAB 1600 to make me say its a bad choice either

I will get my money back, mark my words. I purchased a replacement *new* NVX amp from Sonic, it's on its way here already, so they are getting some of my money either way. It ended up being only $5 more because of a $15 discount code Sonic had going for it.

 
The amp won't be bad, ***** you've had the negative experience tho.
Yeah I like that it was amp dyno'd and verified to be at or above stated power. Plus it is compact, easy on the wallet and has a subsonic filter.

 
Should have gotten the CAB... having the extra power is like money in the bank... IMO... but I'm not really objective in this case
i cant disagree with you here. Headroom is always nice, similar to driving a Bugatti Veyron around at 40 mph with full knowledge that a tip of your toe can get you to 150 in a few seconds
