Sundown

Are sundown amps decent for sq? I am planning on getting a FI.Q 12 and powering it with the SAE-1000D in a sealed box for my blazer. Will this be a good combo for daily?

the 1500 would be better, so you'd have headroom and not be pushing the amp to its limits.

they're nice amps, but honestly, you wont hear any difference in sound quality for your substage. i'd be more concerned with the durability, versatility, and efficiency of the amp, which from what i hear (never seen or tested one) they're very tough and efficient.

Not much SQ will be coming from your amp, I would be more concerned with my driver. An amp only amplifies the sound coming from a driver (subwoofer). A shitty driver will make a good amp seem bad.

Well would that set-up be decent for sq? How do you feel about the FI.Q? And how duarble woud they both be for every day play. I don't listen to my music way loud all the time but would like too if I wanted to.

that'd make a nice setup. actually thinking of the same, only with a pair of q's. have the 1000ds' sitting and waiting for some subs. you already have the amp? where you buying from?

that setup would be good. The fi q is a great sounding woofer.

i have no experience with the sae 1000 but the saz is a great amp.

No not yet. Was planning on getting it from a member on here. I just wanted some feedback on the amp because I don't know shit about em. I was planning on going with the alpine pdx-1.1000 but he made me a decent deal I think.

The amp is solid. You will love your Q. I love mine. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

As mentioned above the SAE1000D is plenty amp, but if you want more headroom the 1500D is a good option.

That's a really good single sub combo

I'm gonna try and get a price on the 1500d. I just want something that is gonna last for a couple years.

since when does the 20.1 do close to 5000 watts @ 1 ohm?

i've seen 2 IA 20's strapped at .25 ohm @ 17 volts play in street beat

a sundown would burst into flames at the thought of that
