Sundown SAE-1000D Or Audioque 1200D??

i dont know the actual output of the AQ but if its decently close to rated output then go for it. i love the SAZ lines but the SAE 1000d isnt a fave of mine, nothing wrong with it at all, just not as nice as the SAZ expectantly

 
They are all good amps. You honestly wouldn't go wrong picking up either of them. I would probably go with the Sundown or the Kicker since they are both proven amp's where as the AQ1200 hasn't really been out long enough for anyone to get in a lot of time with it.

 
never used an aq amp but the sundown is really nice. can't go wrong with it, will do rated power and then some. and great warranty and c.s..

also, i don't think the kicker would work since you're sub is dual 2ohm and the zx1000.1 isn't 1ohm stable.

 
It looks as though the AQ has a second torriodal transformer and more capacitance as well as more fusing. Wether it makes it the better amp or not I don't know. What THD is the SD rated at, the AQ is rated at 1%.

 
Ok, so I know I;m bringing up an old thread, but I figured thats better than starting a new one and getting told to search first, lol

Anyway... I am also interested in these two amps.... So has anyone compared them?

Is either one a significant upgrade over the other?

Yeah, I was looking at the pics too, and it seems the AQ amp is a bit beefier inside? Its rated for more power, so maybe thats why?

Hard to tell about an amp just by looking at the inside, but to my untrained eye the AQ looks more substantial!?

You gonna be happy with either one.

Personally I'd go AQ, it has a beefier 2 ohm rating.

Unless I cared about efficiency to stock electrical,

then I'd go Sundown.

My sub is a dual 2ohm so I can wire it to 1 or 4... I will probably try running it at 1 ohm.
