its not really fair comparison here... if soundqubed made a 4.5k amp at price point then we can talk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

No comparison ur comparing a 3.5k to a 5k. 5k all day.

$800 is pretty typical, though I've seen a couple go lower...

(Used) Price per watt is pretty close between the SQ 3500 and Sundown 4500, if you've got the cash (and electrical to support it) go for the bigger one.

So I just bought a new SAZ-4500d for $800 which to me, seemed like a steal. It was used, but there is only one small scratch and is 100% functional.
I know it's a bit late to start a comparison thread about this, but I'm a bit curious anyways lol.

So based on specifications and board design goes, which amp would you prefer if price wasn't a problem?

Based on RETAIL prices, which amp would you prefer?

Just really curious to see what people think is all. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The saz4500 is a great amp and clearly more power than the aq well bc its in the "3500" power range although it does over 4k but for another 375 over the 4500 u could get 2 aq3500s .which is what i would personally do

I was aware of that and considered it as well. I'm sadly a hipster that wants to run 'big name' companies with a reputable history. Not that Lanzar is a bad company by any means, but I'm sure you would agree with me that the SAZ-4500d will outperform an opti 8000d. I also like the letter 'S', which is why I only buy SoundQubed or Sundown gear.
Just kidding about that last part.

This whole statement made me laugh a little bit
