Class D's are the most efficient out of all class amps out there. Yes, Sundown are great amps..Lil bit pricey IMO. But nothing wrong with paying for great products and a great company! It looks to be that the FL series are rated for 750rms My vote would be for the Alpine Pdx amps. They are the most efficient power wise and in its physical attributes.

Alpine PDX-1.1000 1000 Watt Mono Block Digital Amplifier

My two cents!

Enjoy

Always thought Sundown was bit of a bargain.

Check the Alpine PDX for noise. Several threads discussing this.
