I understand that they can take more thats the case with most subs but they do have those rating for a reason. Someone said probably for warranty purposes which is probably correct. If its voiding the warranty its for a reason. they weren't meant to go above what they are supposed to even if they can.

The Nightshade 18 is rated for 1500 but people beat on them 3k daily and they love it.. so how are they not meant for it?

You can get a used audioque 2200d for under $300. The r's would like it, even though they're only 500w rms

Sick is audioque a good brand or do they get hot and overheat? someon wants to sell me one that is on its way back from a repair shop?

I like audioque and they're prices are low too. Any amp can get hot and overheat if you beat on it enough.

Well i got offers for a Sundown SAE -1200d for 250 or the Audioque 2200d for under 300 im not sure yet. What would you go with? Im thinking Audioque just because if i ever get a new sub that amp can most likely support it..

Either amp is good but id go with the 2200 personally.
