Sundown & Rainbow Together

[crea78 10+ year member]

I recently just purchased a set of Rainbow Germaniums (150w RMS) and a Profi 12" subwoofer (DVC 2ohm - 50~350w RMS). Currently I have eD amps in my car (9.2 & 9.1) and I've heard alot of great things about Sundown amps. The SAX-100.4 caught my eye after seeing pictures of it, but not sure if it's gonna work with my setup. If I run Channels 1-2 to my Germaniums and have Channels 3-4 to my sub (needs to be 2ohm if possible), would this be a possible setup?? I know the Germaniums will not get the power it needs @ 100x2, but if I bridged the 100.4, then that is way too much power for them. Also, how many watts will the Profi sub be getting if I bridged the rear channels?

Or I guess the best thing to do would get a SAX-100.2 to run the Germaniums and a SAE-1000D to run the Profi 12" @ 2ohm. That might be the best setup. Just wondering if the Sundown amps will be an upgrade coming from eD amps??

My system is still a work-in-progress, so not sure how I want to power my speakers...

Hey, Im running a sorta similar setup...so i didnt wanna start a new thread...and i dont mean to hijack your thread...Im running a single Fi Q12 with an SAE-1000D amp...i just picked up my Germaniums...and like crea78 im considering using the SAX-100.2 for my germaniums...initially i wanted something that could do 150w x 2 to get the full potential of the germaniums but i havnt been able to find a solid amp that can do that...any suggestions? At the same time i kindda wanted to stick with the same brand of amps for sub and speakers...

I really like the Sundown amps for the way they look and perform, but 3.5MaxSpd (Manny) is gonna give me a very good deal on two specific Audison SRx amps whenever I decide to get them which I can't pass up [sRx4 + SRx1]. What was posted under my same thread at SSA forum, you can biamp the Germaniums using the SAX-100.4 and the SAE-1000D would go great for your Fi Q12. If you have the funds to run both amps, I would definetly follow that route.
