Looking to power my 2 SWRs 2Kw

[wew lad 5,000+ posts]

Oh, I see. I'm still pretty new to car audio and haven't explored the brands much, I know soundqubed is a higher quality brand than say Kicker or Alpine, but beyond that IDK. Right now I'm just looking for 2K for my current subs but want the ability to expand. The soundqubed 3500 had a 2K rating at 4 ohms which is intriguing to me because I can run my speakers either 4 ohm or 1 ohm. This amp could satisfy my wattage needs at either (but now I'm questioning the factory ratings). but the twisted sounds sounds are intriguing because I suspect I could get a used one for about the same price and seems to have a better rep. I'm also having issues pushing an order for the soundqubed because I've never bought on here and IDK what I'm doing. So do I wait for a twisted sounds or continue to try to get the soundqubed.

you wont get 2k @ 4 ohms out of that amp because you'll still have rise btw

im always an advocate of being patient until a good deal comes along

I do have a steady 14.4V currently (400W of doors and 800W of sub) and I'm having a HO Alt built as we speak.

I guess I just thought 650ish for the soundqubed was a good deal.

Now, what exactly makes this a "better" amp than the soundqubed?

And I can wait for a better deal, but if I wait to long these funds will likely be dried up from little frivolous spending lol.

Just currious. Why twisted sounds over soundqubed? Also, I'm still having issues finding any twisted sounds 3.5k amps used.

because the only amp dyno i've seen from soundqubed is their 2200 and they failed their certified tests pretty horribly. While twisted sounds amps make much more than rated.

I think this is helping me understand these amps a little better. I noticed that the soundqubed and the hifonics had the same guts (well they very obviously pointed it out), so does this same principal hold true with say a soundqubed 3500 and a audioque AQ3500. Both look identical on the inside.

What about a Sundown SAZ-2000D for about 380? The SAZ 1500D looked to be doing as advertised, the only problem is that this gives me what i need, not more. lol

Or a DC Audio 3.5K for 650ish. This one was benching uncertified above rated power (about 3.8k). The 2k ran certified about 200 watts above rating.
