I personally prefer Mmats amps. I have owned several and the have never let me down.

Probably wont notice a difference between the two. I would get which ever one is cheaper if no warranty is involved.

I have a saz3000d and it is awsome. Puts out more than rated and if you need repairs (prob wont its built like a tank) db-r is authorized and guarantees the parts will be in stock. 500shipped with 1yr warranty bought it from the owner Jacob in sundown audio forum

WoW 478.00 for Mmats. My local shop sell them for $1,000.00.

Nice im not really up on amps lol do they make smaller amps?

MMats>Sundown for the primary reason that they have just as good SQ and output, but they are more efficient, smaller, and more rare. I have played around with a shitton of amps, and MMats amps are BY FAR my favorite. The amps I have ran have ranged from Series VIII Hifonics to PPI Art to O/S Earthquake to many others.

Wow. Links? Personal testing? What? I'm not doubting, just looking for imperical evidence. I'm an MMATS fan too.

This was all I could find. Sundown: 86% Efficiency AT 4 OHMS. MMats Efficiency under full load (1 ohm): 79%. Efficiency drops severly as you reduce the impedence. I believe the MMats is ~96% Efficient at 4 ohms from what I have heard, but I do not have physical proof, sorry.
