i would say get a refurb opti1400 D off ebay for $175, to power the Q, if you really want "budget"

ill pass on lanzar even though opti's are ok and decent.

God this isn't getting easier, half for sundown and half for memphis.

I would go Belle. In fact I considered one before going with the RF 25 to life Power1000. I like 5 channel amps for daily drivers. Nice and simple.

One more vote for Sundown. VERY happy with my 1500D as it powers my RL-P's nicely. I've done 20+ minute demos at FULL volume and it doesn't even get warm, seriously.

And warrantied down to .5ohm could come in handy for future upgrades //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

but im thinking my electrical might not be able to keep up with sundown now.

80 amp stock alt

1/0 big three with kolossus wire throughout

1/0 power run

optima group 34 yellow top until i can get a red top and move to back

4 guage to 100.4 and 4 guage to sundown 1500D cause the 1/0 will be distributed into 2 4 outs.

^

above would work great with the eD's and i could just run 1 1/0 run straight to the memphis 1300Belle and not have to worry about distributing and stuff. I might have to shave few strands off to make it fit, but that it really.

Any ideas? am i right, my electrical wont keep up with the sundowns. I listen to my music at a sql level. not ear bleeding loud. not just at a volume to be able to hear all music. a loudness type of sq level. Rock and rap and country i play at softer volumes. I will do my heavy SPL trunk beaters with car off to not straign my alt.

Also on ebay what store should i buy the memphis from if i bought it.

The12vkings has 100% feedback and 90 day warrenty and it costs 630 with shipping added in

Tristateaudio has 99.7 with like a 3 neg comments that have been cleared and 4 mutual. 3500+ feedback, 90 day policy, and 620 with shipping included?

Im thinking the12vkings would be best?

I vote Kicker or Memphis..

Sundown is pretty efficient. Ran mine off a stock 100a alternator with BIG 3 and a single SVR battery up front. NO issues and only got dimming at insane volumes.

I did add a HO alt a few weeks back, but still get slight dimming when leaning on it hard.

sundown preorder ended and i have no idea when there intro sale begins also contacted some dealers, no answers atm either

also what are these for

Amp Preamp Outputs? it doesnt come with memphis 1300 belle. and also why does there only have 1 sub input for rca. what do i use to wire the memphis belle.

1 4 channel and 1 y splitter which has 1 male to 2 female then buy a 2 channel rca to plug into the y splitter?

I decided i need as much $ in my pocket.

So memphis or eD?
