i never used the crescendo but i can tell you that the cadence is one of the best on the market. very clean and does rated power.

Now I am confused read that the rms is at 16v rms or is it can handle 16v . I looked on the cadence site and it does not specify what voltage the rms is ratted at. Herd good stuff about amp. I do not know but I am thinking if a amp can handle 16v it is built good . I am not sure though cause still learning maybe 16v is not any harder on amp then 14v maybe it's better to have more v

I have used the BC2k, a very decent amp, can't say anything about the other one. Pretty much the same power, get the less expensive one, it's what I would do. What is the status of your electricals?

Electrical is all mentioned fist thread . Definitely looking for the cleanest of the two so it not to hard on subs

Gotcha, side by side comparison they are very similar, and both are reputable companies. The bc2k makes it rated power at 13.8v, is it worth the $75 difference, is up to you.

Ampere Audio 3800.1 used or a DD m3c used I had 2 750's on a bc2k and not enough power.but of those 2 cadence, or a Ampere audio 2k or sundown 2k or DD m2b Crescendo's cs is ****

I'm not sure what voltage the Cadence is rated at if it is at 16 you can probably say 1800 and 13 .5 but those zrs amp are typically underrated anout 10-15%..

I am a little confused not up on all the brand names and there abbreviations. Sound like to me the crescendo was not enough . The rest I didn't catch

 

[rp69 10+ year member]

I doubt the ratings where at 16v . Need to email them on that

He was listing the other brands 2000wrms sub amps, arguably the best on the market actually, I would only add the Incriminator Audio IA20.1.

I tried to email cadence customer support today from Web site information. No success email kept coming back stating invalid address. So I called and spoke to a gentlemen in regards to the ratings on the zrs c1 . Wanted litature stating what voltage the amps rms is ratted at. He sounded very unorganized . I thinking cadence is under new management or bought out . He gave me email address and it was hisname@oncore.audio. I searched oncore audio cadence . Oncore audio is some guys new company that worked with image dynamics. Does anyone know if cadence is under new management and buy who

the industry is insane. who knows. might be better off going with the crescendo. not that the cadence is bad but the fact they can't handle a simple *** question it's likely that their customer service will ****..

**** i used to know a cadence rep i wanna say jason or paul(over 10 years ago) and he was a good guy and handle alot of forum issues like this. i'm going to assume they let him go which was IMO a bad move.
