Well people really aren't taking into consideration the volts at which the amps are rated what the true output will be..All I can say is they way you guys are looking at it you may just want to stick with amps that are rated at 14.4volts and higher and you never get the watts you paid for...

Why does everyone think Sundown is overpriced?

Seems to me all zenon board amps cost the same regardless of company

RD, Sundown, IA, Atomic all seem to be right around the same price....

How many companies support their dealers as well as Sundown?

Supporting local dealers = supporting the local economy.

How many other companies send you a brand new amplifier if yours needs warranty repair?

Sundown Audio deals with the hassle of getting amplifiers repaired so you don't have to.

How many other companies offer a discount replacement warranty that allows you to trade in amplifiers that have been damaged by your own fault running the amp out of rated specifications?

None other than Sundown that I'm aware of.

Is it worth it for the extra quality/warranty/service that comes with it? That's a matter of opinion. It's not just great customer service though. These really are great amps that are built like tanks. So is it also worth the piece of mind that you bought a great reliable product? Is it worth the piece of mind that if for some strange reason something does go wrong you will receive a brand new amplifier?

There are other companies out there with good customer service but Sundown Audio does a lot of little things that go way above and beyond that most people don't see or pay attention too. I see people online everyday wanting to know how to get in contact with a certain manufacturer or wanting answers to questions because they couldn't get an answer from a certain manufacturer. Jacob is online everyday answering questions & emails and overall doing everything he can to support the local car audio community with his knowledge. He shows up at lots of local events to chat, hangout, and help people in anyway he can. He also donates a lot of products to the local competition scene.

A few years back my bro & I went the "cheap" route and bought 8 Hifonics Brutus amps and a 4ch Zeus for a build. We got them for no other reason than they were cheap and cheap shit is what we got. Two of the 9 brand new amps broke immediately and it took over a year to get them back from the official Maxxsonics repair facility and even then they still didn't work properly. It was the most horrible experience and I'll never take the cheap route again. If 2 out of 9 brand new amps are busted from the start then that's some piss poor quality control. If it takes a year to get amps warrantied because of a shortage of parts then thats a piss poor warranty.

No exaggeration & no BS we've been through 40 amps from Sundown Audio. Not one has been faulty and not one has given us any trouble. That's extremely good quality control. It's also nice to know that if for ANY reason something were to happen (even at my own fault) that I won't have to go through some year long ordeal of getting my amps warrantied. That's because if you send a bad amp back to Sundown you will receive a brand new replacement amplifier immediately.

I push my amps far past their rated specs. It seems Jacob & Team Sundown has given the nickname "Mr. 0.25ohm" because that's where I like to run my amps. They take it like champs. What does that mean for the average consumer? Well if I can get away with beating on my amps @ 0.25ohm without any issues then you sure won't have any problems running them at their rated impedance of 1ohm daily. That's how overbuilt Sundown Audio amplifiers are.

nicely said

Both companies make great amps.

I used Sundown for 2 of my builds and when you give them their input voltage and battery voltage they put out some serious power. They also can run at extremely low ohm loads without much problem, and if anything does happen to the amp, you know the owner of the company is just an email away. Its the solid product and personal service that people like.

Everyone knows about Sundowns, but the D-Tower amps are actually very powerful amps. If people gave them a chance, they would definately be surprised at the power they do.

should i pay for *** or buy a sundown? Bet you the answer will be sundown.
AQ seems to be a good amp for a better price...just saying. Don't have experience with either tbh but the Sundown boner is getting rather big for my taste.

you like your boners managable huh

I respect your loyalty to a brand that you have no issues with, but have you dealt with Soundstream's customer service? And this "replacement amp" thing you speak of........ Would that apply to everyone? No disrespect, I'm just wondering is this just the way Jacob operates or are only a select few treated this way. Maybe your Sundown experience is different from another's.

No loyalty about it. Just letting people know the facts. Yes the Sundown Audio 5-year discount replacement warranty applies to everyone.
