OK...I have it down to these two choices. I would like to buy ctmike's Sundown, but don't know if I want to spend that much. Both put out approx 1000 watts with the Sundown being a little more powerful. Is the Sundown worth an extra $80 over the Rockford? Help me out! Thanks

"1000rms > 500rms"

Rockford birthsheets show at least 900RMS on all these amps I have seen.That's why I was thinking it is fair to compare them.

Anyone else?

rockford.... will do the job nicely if we are talking abotu QUALITY the rockford is the way to go if your talking about power sundow is the way to go...

WHY??

DUH

the sundown 1000d can do 1100 rms the rockford is rated at 500 rms and around 800 rms rated power...

try and get the t1001bd ad it will pwn the shyt out of the sundown 1000d and will be kicking azz against the 1500d.

I kinda thought the quality of the Sundown was better. That's not the case?

I think lilrob means the T10001Bd, which puts out roughly 1400rms. What subs are you going to run?

I am running two 8" SS RL-i. They won't handle the t10001bd. That's why I am comparing these two. ANy opinion between these Mark or anyone else?

not really... the sundows have great quality too... but if u see all the amps naked.. ull see the sundow looks like is on steroids... and the rockford looks cool...

but in real life... rockford USES VERY HEAVY DUTY PARTS.. LIKE SPECIAL MADE RUFF MOSFETS that the sundows cant simply cant get...

another thing rockford patended the class db technology... thats a mix from class D and CLASS a/b.... the great efficiency of the class D btu witout the distortion that they tent to give.. so witht hat class bd makes them soudn like class a/b with the class d efficiency..

also they use specially made mosfets and power supplys just for their amps other companies use universal parts..

like i said both companies are really good... but if your talking about really good quality rockford is the way to go.. if you want power sundown is the way to go on the 2 choices u made..



here ull see the sundown 1500d
http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Sundown_Audio_SAZ-1500D/
now check the 1001bd doesnt look too impressive but it will push around 1600 rms of good clean watts
http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Rockford_Fosgate_Power_T10001bd/


here ull see two amps with same ratings

this is the mcintosh they use ol skool design with really the best parts u can get this amp runs about 1500 new
http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/McIntosh_MC420/


now check this zapco that was about 200-500 bucks
http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Zapco_Studio_204/


wich one will u chose for the best quality??? mcintosh ofcorse

alot of people say hey sundown is the shyt.... well is mainly because they are running that...you know is the same thing i do when someone ask for soem budge subs... i say octanes because they are really good...


liek i say both companies are good... sundown makes great products the sundow 1500d is good so its the t1000db both will do awesome things..

but if your talking about quality rockford is the way to go..

Not sure about the Sundown SAE-1000D but the Sundown SAZ-1500D is a great amp.

Rockford power amps are great and at this price you better jump on it.
