I actually heard one of those small jl amps a while ago and i was very impressed. However I think a more comparable amp would be a jl slash series.

From my personal experiences i would use a jl slash series amp all day long over a sundown. Unless space is an issue which i will assume its not since the sundown is a candidate.

I have no complaints with sundown, I actually think there great amps that make great power but for this size of amp i will put my money on jl audio. A lot of people think way to highly of sundown and there are obviously a ton of people that wont give jl the time of day because they say you can get more for less.

What seems to be more on spec sheets may not be when the meters are taken out.

Lets not forget about sundowns 14.4 volt ratings. Although jl rates the xd at 14.4 they also show a rating at 12.5 volts which shows it loosing a small margin of power. Also if you were to look at the slash series its pure power down to 11 volts.

Just throwing it out there i believe jl has some closeout prices on there site on the slash series amps that might be worth a look at.
