Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 22 Registered: Jan-08 | well i found this mtx amp single channel and all its rms is like 1500 and peak is like 3000 would that work, its a mtx TA81001 |

Silver Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 305 Registered: Aug-07 | 1. i wouldnt go with an MTX amp. i just dont like them and a lot of my friends have owned them and then changed amps in the first month for something better. 2. 1500rms is TOO much to give those pioneers. a RF T10001bd would suit them much better and is of WAY better quality 3. NEVER look at peak/max watts. it means nothing. ALWAYS look at the rms wattage. thats what really counts. |

Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 23 Registered: Jan-08 | well where can I find one? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5809 Registered: Jul-06 | That RF amp will do do more power than the MTX, at least 1500w. The RF amp would work but it's expensive and power power than you need. Those amps are WAY underrated. I'd get a Sundown SAE-1000d or Audioque 1200d |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 24 Registered: Jan-08 | well I looked at the sundown and its like 399.00 from sundownaudio.com and I can't find the pricing for the audioque because the price isn't listed on the site, but I don't think I can convience myself to spend 400 dollars on an amp rite now because I'm kinda having and issue with money rite now, but I love that sundown amp its really sharp, the only reason I said something about that mtx amp is because I was on sale on a discount audio site its was really cheap |

Silver Member Username: Pbplayer05Carroll, Iowa Post Number: 287 Registered: May-07 | the sundowns are 300 thats what i got mine from low-hz.com just email kevin holden |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 25 Registered: Jan-08 | the SAE 1000d is listed at 399 in other words 400 dollars that I don't have to spend I didn't see it listed as 300 on their unless I was looking in the place but I went to that link you said you got yours for 300 and everything |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5818 Registered: Jul-06 | Email kevin if you want the Sundown, he sells them cheaper But I'd get the Audioque for best, price vs. quality. The price IS on their site, $279 http://www.audioque.com/aq/order.htm |

Bronze Member Username: SuperroberPost Number: 25 Registered: Jan-08 | You guys are so lucky, in my country you have to pay at least $500 for the amps you are talking about. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 26 Registered: Jan-08 | alright, so you think the IS is better than the sundown? i mean i can spend the extra 20 dollars for a better amp |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5828 Registered: Jul-06 | IMO they are both pretty much on the same level of quality (very good) |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 27 Registered: Jan-08 | is the audioque a 2 channel amp cause I mean I looked at pictures and it looked like it had 2 channels..I } |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 5140 Registered: Dec-05 | no, it's monoblock it's just for wiring issues, it really saves the day |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 28 Registered: Jan-08 | well how many watts would really be getting off the SAE 1000d ? is it under rated like rockford fosgate's stuff?} |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 29 Registered: Jan-08 | ehh nevermind, I'm juss gonna go with the adioque like m.s. said its cheaper and theirs gotta be a reason he said to get it instead of the sundown, sorry for all the trouble though, and thanks for all the help. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5839 Registered: Jul-06 | Both of those amps are accurately rated, 1000w for the Sundown and 1200w for the AQ |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 30 Registered: Jan-08 | its alrite, I'm juss gonna take your advice and get the aq, sorry if I seem stuborn, I juss wanna get the best quality for the best price..thanx for all your help.} |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5844 Registered: Jul-06 | Of course, we all do......... if I needed a 1000-1200w amp right now, the AQ is the one I would buy |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 34 Registered: Jan-08 | alrite man well I understand that, its ok I'm gonna get the aq and I'm sorry if I made you madd man, I can't wait to get it!!its gonna be awesome.. |
|
Silver Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 319 Registered: Aug-07 | i just realized i said the RF T10001bd lol i mean the T5001bd. im all late |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 35 Registered: Jan-08 | aahhhhh, I found a T5001bd for like $173, but I don't know how many watts the rf puts out. since the rf10001bd puts out an extra 500 I was wondering if the rf5001bd puts out 1000??? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5873 Registered: Jul-06 | No. That amp will do between 700-1000w. You don't know until you see the birthsheet for the specific amp. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 36 Registered: Jan-08 | well I could get 2 rft5001bd's for $346 for both of them together. should I do that or juss get the audio que? |
|
Gold Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 1325 Registered: Mar-05 | Those are good amps, but they would be overpowering those subs tremendously. Not to mention, you'll need more wiring, RCA's and power to feed them. I'd get the AQ. |
|
Silver Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 322 Registered: Aug-07 | stick with 1 good amp. the AQ will suit those subs fine. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5878 Registered: Jul-06 | Agreed, also 2 of the RF amps would not work as you would have the wrong impedance (ohms) |
