Duran 387 Posted October 20, 2008 Sundown SAZ 3000D would be a better choice... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ABXX49 20 Posted October 20, 2008 There aren't any regulations on what companies 'rate' their amps at. I'm not positive on what one of those Hifonics put out, but I'm sure that it isn't 2600 watts. Rockford usually rates their products pretty close to what they say. (usually underrated, i.e. RF rates the P400.4 at 50X4, my birth sheet says 76x4) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slim2fattycake 85 Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) some companies will abide to the CEA power rating. it would say CEA compliant on the box. the birth sheet isn't always going to show more for the RF amps. it does do close to the rated readings. usually +/- 200 watts. also another thing to know is that CEA rating is at 14.4 volts. some companies may rate their power lower, like sundown.

BKOLFO4 29 Posted October 20, 2008 dB-r = the best in repair in my opinion. I know if one of my amps fails, it will go there.I am pretty sure he gives a 1 year warranty - most refurbs are just 90 days.Last time I talked to him, the SAZ-1500D is one of his favorite amps. . .Get the new heatsink for $375.Brian 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
