debating between amps if i get a sundown amp it will be a SAZ-2000D used. but am looking at Stetsom amps as well. looking for around 2000 rms im looking at a Stetsom V1K5D which claims 1830 rms for $300 brand new. which would you go with?

haha i might have to change it. im looking at a dd m3 for nice price

DD M3 in that case. They're bulletproof and will outdo both those other amps

I vote DD M3

1ST- DD M3 (most power and clean)

2ND- SUNDOWN (2nd most power and clean)

3RD- STETSOM (not clean power and most do not have subsonic filter also not very stable below rated ohm)

Just my opinion

You could also check out the audioque 2200D's

If the DD M3 is that cheap it is the most powerful amp for your dollar in that round-up.

Check out the Addictive Audio 200.1 rated 2K at 1ohm but it actual does 2700.

Someone does not know what they're talking about. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I agree with them not being blow rated impedance, but then again if you don't need to go that low what's the point in bashing it? If they can do rated power at 1/2 ohm, and you can calculate box rise easily enough, there's not much magic to it.

What do you have in regards to proof of it not being clean power? I mean, since it goes to 10khz it has to be good enough to drive mids. I think you're just a nobody that has not actually tested, nor knows how to test the "cleanliness" of a signal. Please stop regurgitating what you hear from the other people that do not have an idea of what they're talking about. These amps are also meant to drive woofers and midbass. That is how they're being used in many other places besides America/Most of Europe.

The 1k5 has an adjustable sub sonic filter. The older ones that did not have a subsonic filter has a 6dB 20Hz subsonic filter. If you're good(*cough*like me*cough*) you can change that value with a little investigation.

Now for the OP's question: I'd go for the M3 personally if it's cheap enough.

I've been waiting for MONTHS for Stetsom and Soundigital to get back to me with someone running their amplifiers in Louisiana. It looks like I am either going to have to drive to Florida or buy one for myself in order to hear how they perform.

In all honesty, I'd have a hard time deciding between those three choices if I were the OP.
