would this be a good amp

Recommended Posts

Price being too high is a fair complaint, but as for the THD, it's inaudible...heck, it could be 1% and still be inaudible for subbass.

Sundown> PA.

ANYDAY.

If your looking for a nice budget amp, try Ebay, and type in Planet Audio. Should have a nice 1000rms for less than 250 bucks.

So you guys relaly know how both of those amps r? or are u just saying they r junk because u dont like the brand?

OK, lemme break it down to you.

Konaki, has a sub. Thats rated 1500rms.

They opted for the cheapest softparts money can buy, and if you put anything over 1000rms, the spiders give out on you, and the glue joints breaks.

That tells me everything I need to know about the company.

Amp's aren't something to cut short, to save a couple dollars. If they do that with there subs, I know they do it with there amps.

Same goes to PA.

Sundown uses the best components on there amps that the build house offers.

Hence the price differences. In this world, you semi pay for what you get.

lol this guy is funny......

my friend when you buy a AMP like the ones you are looking at.. you are paying for a few things are you ready..

chrome.... lights.... magazine adds, and other promotions....

take a CHIT IN A BOX...put chrome and lights on it.. and then spend a million on advertising... see how many you sell......

sundown... a black power making beast.. with NO advertising......... dont talk about it... just BE About it...

sundown counts on there customers to sell the amps.... rather the amps to sell them selfs but to people who see the power it makes....... word of mouth and demos....

i dare you to find someone ir a group of people who stand by those amps you are so into. i bet you cant find any.

many other kinda of amps besides sundown are good small local type amps.... but you have to pay! lot MSRP price... make an email to someone..get a deal. thay are out there,.

Check Ebay.

I found a PG Tantrum 1200.1 a couple years ago on there for around $300. Something like that, or a JBL BP1200.1, or an older Orion or Rockford would be my choice...

didnt i say before to get an AQ-1200d from Audioque?

$249 shipped, does 1470w @1ohm.

This topic sounds familiar but my post isnt here. This must be a cloned post for the same thing.

What you want is like asking for a viper, or one that is just like it for $30,000...

We've been in the car audio scene for quite some time.

Most to all of us do not know each other personally, well that's a given, so we have nothing to gain personally just by helping others out.

So why would you have the slightest thought when different people all want to set it in stone that the amps you are looking at are not a good idea that you have the thought that we may be trying to get you to spend extra money for no reason?

It's coincidental that we all have the same opinion, isn't it?

No, it's not. We have all had experience in the car audio world and know what to expect from companies that have been around forever and those who are new.

We know or some of us know how the economy works and general business practices because everybody wants the best for the least money, who doesnt?

But that doesnt mean you need to sacrifice necessities to get that lower price, you catch me?

We see things that you havent had experience with yet. We are not coercing you into buying the same thing we have or the most expensive thing we can think of... That is bad practice for this site and it wont happen!

You cannot judge pricing online for someone who may be somewhat new to this because ecommerce prices fluctuate from dealer to dealer due to authorized\non authorized sellers, refurbs marked as new and so on.

So for you, it may be hard to justify the good vs the bad product online based on pricing on a general sense.

With enough time talkin on boards you will start to get experience as well as physical experience.

Oh, and get that AQ-1200d, :)

no, he's not hard headed, he is just one of many people who ask questions and get answers that are completely different than what he was expecting.

How about this amp?.... that amp is terrible get this amp--->

And just leave the reply like that...

You get enough people who answer your questions like that, you are gonna want to know why? But when nobody wants or can give an elaborate answer, it frustrates those who are trying to learn.

We've been there, he's tryin to do research, just needs to be pointed in right direction.

This is a good place to hibernate at for a while.

I'd also suggest reading technical documents near very bottom of this forum as well as going to www.the12volt.com interesting info there too.
