many people think sundown is over rated for the price, i gave my opinion for price performance i think they are the best out there

IMO i think he should go with 2 lvl 4s and a 2000-2500 watt amp for them, aq2200d possibly

you are telling this man to add batteries when you dont know what he has charging them, your system man source of power is from the alternator man, the more batteries the more loads you add to your system, i have seen my fair share of crapped alt, also the main reason for blown amps are either people blurping them or being underpowered, my best friend repairs millions of amps and i can tell you from experience

Dude, you've come into this thread and spouted out 80 different opinions when the OP has given very little information. You've recommended every company from Audiopulse to RE Audio & everything in between. You started talking about electrical upgrades when there's been hardly any information regarding the subject. You said Level 4s will need this & that as far as electrical is concerned and and then followed that up by recommending a $730 pair of subs that require even more power than the level 4s.

It seems as if you have ADD or something.

thats fine the level 4 is an amazing sub no doubt, but get a sundown 2k for 350 new lol, i would rather grab a memphis amp for the price of a sundown

Yes, the guy will need around 2,000 watts rms in order to get good results from a pair of Level 4 subwoofers. A Kinetik HC2400 would be sufficient for that amount of power (and a nice multi-channel for mids & highs). Once he gives info about the power of his alt, I'll recommend an upgrade if he needs one. Ya see, I answer the questions as they come. I don't jump from one topic to another like a 7 year old...

he started with 2 kicker subs, i wanted him to see there are many great subs out there, i want him to do his research and not just go and buy what me and you say, maybe go listen to these subs at shows etc, what might sound great to our ear might not sound great to him, we also do not know what it is going in which makes a huge deal

Yup, the Sundown SAZ-2000d can be had bnib for $350. Wait a minute, no it can't. Not from an authorized dealer.

jeez...

okay

OP, drive all over the country and visit SPL and SQ competitions before deciding on what kind of subwoofers you want. :facepalm:

It's going to be overwhelming once this conversation gets to the topic of component speakers...

i know he cannot and i wouldnt spend the 600 for a sundown, id pass that for a mmats audioque or memphis amp anytime

you mus be rich when you think 1000 bucks is a drop in the bucket

I cant drive all over the country i have job and no liscence for six months

 

[mclerico83 5,000+ posts]

im not saying to drive but dont just go out and rush to b uy something, do a lot of research on enclosures built for the sub you buy etc, the audioque is the best price you will find for 250 is a deal

do you know how much amps your alt puts out
