Talk to Kevin Holden. He can probably do something good for you on a Sundown.

I was gonna get a sundown SAD 1000D for $285. I'd imagine a 1500 watt would be somewhere <$500.

You will probably have better luck with the massive, though. Thanks Mike.

so how much does build quality have to do with things because a hifonics amp that puts out 1600 watts at 1 ohm for under 300 shipped i know it wont give out the rated 1600 but close to 1500 im assuming at a way lower price so i was wondering if the extra build quality was worth paying for?

I say yes. Make sure that hifonics is 1600 watts rms.
As far as I know its not just build quality, its sound quality. but thats just in my opinion from what i've gathered, not personal experience

Amplifiers are transparent in terms of SQ. It is build quality that separates them.

^^^^ the Opti series isn't.


It is well worth it to get something like a Sundown over a hifonics or Lanzar though. If you buy a budget brand, you can't expect it to last a real long time.

I have nothing against Hifonics, I recommend them a lot - for the price I think they are solid sub amps. However, I believe in terms of durability, actual power vs. ratings, longevity, versatility (ability) to go down to 1/2 ohm -- The optidrive is the better amp in all categories.
I've also dealt with Lanzar's CS on a couple of occasions and been satisfied both times.

i'd pick optidrive. IT did 1400w rms at 12V. 1 ohm.

You can get it on ebay too and get a better deal. Onlinecarstereo is great too.

Joey --- "until then i just need an amp to push my 2 12" 4 ohm L7s"
