Cadence ZRS or MB Quart Q

[Toofast4u 10+ year member]

I have a friend who can hook me up with one of the following. An MB Quart Q 1.1500D or a Cadence ZRS 7500D. Either one will be pushing a pair of SA 12S. I don't want to kill my electrical setup, which is a 160 amp alternator with the big three done and an XS D3400. Overall which would be better for my setup?

This isn't a straight up amp vs amp comparison. I just would like to know which out of the 2 would suit me best. Maybe the Cadence is better, but draws a buttload of current. Also please no amp suggestions, for now I'd like to keep it between these 2.

Anyone?

If it were my choice, and price wasn't an option, I'd just do the Cadence cus it puts out a bit more power. Your electrical is more than sufficient to handle either of these amplifiers. I like the styling of the Cadence a bit more. They're both good names, I think either would be ok. I don't like the angled inputs on the Memphis either, I've had those before and find them frustrating at times.

This is all just off comparing the two online, I've never experienced either amps.

However, if electrical stoutness is your main concern, don't let it be. Your Alt and Bat can handle it.

I'd flip a coin. Both look like nice solid amps. Looks wise i'd pic the mb. Power wise the zrs.

That's what I'm most likely going to do lol. I'm just having a hard time deciding.

Only issue I have ever heard of about cadence amps are that they are power hungry. May be tru may not be someone else may know the story bout that. Ive had 2 mbq amps loved them both never had an issue with either and both put out the power lil bit to much plastic but all else was great

That's what I've been told as well, hence the Cadence being power hungry concern I had at the top.

I would go cadence u got more then enough electrical to keep that cadence feed and more..

That's been the general opinion, I'm most likely going to do that. Thanks!

According to Maxxsonics Rep, the Q 1500.1d will do 1700+

That's good to know! I was assuming the Q amps were like the discus power wise, but with better crossovers.

How so? I'm really considering getting a Q 4.150 to run active with.

Lol I can try. He's a local dealer, and everyone that he deals with only wants DD, ID and ARC. I don't have the $ for those because I spent all of it on my subs, box and components. He can still get Quart although he hasn't in years after the Maxxsonics buyout, and no one really wants Cadence.
