Good alternative to Sundown??? 2000w rms

[Plottin4success 10+ year member]

Whats some good amps that do rated power at 12.8v? I currently have a Sundown SAX125.2 and was gonna get a 1500d to power my sub. Lookin for an amp that does around 2000w rms @1ohm. Also would like to get a matching 4 channel amp to power my comps active and possibly sell my SAX.

Lookin for something OTHER than Sundown. Its a bit too pricey for me at the moment.

I was lookin at the AQ amps, but I heard they are rated at 14v and dont quite do the rated power.

AQ's do rated, youll be fine with them.

Anyone know where I can see a test done on them? I remember seeing a test donw between a Sundown 3500 and an AQ3500 and the Sundown ***** the AQ. Jacob from Sundown did the testing. He did comment that it was a great amp for the money.

I just bought all MB Quart amps. They make a 2000 that you can get $275 shipped new on Ebay.

Hope it lives up to what everyone tells me.

I assume you ended up getting a 4125? I want to know what you think of it

I say save your money and get a 2000d..asfar as the 4ch amp.. i hear that the 100.4 is one of the best amps to go active, unless you have an active HU.. just heresay!

They won't do 2200@ 12 volts like you were asking, but they do rated. Many people have done the testing.

Not sure what other companies rate at 12 volts. but if that's what floats your boat, you should stay with the Sundown. You could get an AQ3500 and the 4x90. If any are left the 3500s were 549 shipped.

Heres the test done by Jacob.... (Taken from CACO)

Power Test Completed.

I know someone will ask these questions SO READ THIS FIRST :

1) AQ-3500D Tested First - Battery Bank had a charge for several hours from our bench power supplies

2) SAZ-3500D Tested Second - Only a few minutes behind the AQ-3500D Test

3) THIS IS WHY the 3500D had much more voltage drop, I had the entire surface charge gone from the batteries

4) Both amps set wide open to be apples to apples.

If there was an "alternative" to Sundown that was of the same specs at a lower price, people would be all over it.
