first of all welcome to the forum! this is one of the best forums to learn from!

now first let me ask you some question!

1. is this system going to be for comps? or just a daily system to wow the women,

2. what vehicle is this all going into?

3. how much do you PLAN to spend

and we can go from there!

[bassahaulic 155]

SAZ-3500, That's not even really a fair comparison.

Now if you had said like T4k VS SAZ-3500. Would have been better.

Yes...these are all good starting points^^^^^ I'll go ahead and say now that the 3500 is your best bet....love mine! Also though which one can be had cheaper?

[CrazyKenKid 64]

considering he siad money isn't a factor I would say go with the saz3500 for a few reasons

1. customer support

2. reliability

3. you can talk to the owner direcly and get experiened help

4. in the event something happens to the amp you could get a free one with-in a week (knock on wood)

5. sundown all day all the time! lol!

6. sundown is the best bang for your buck for reliability

7. please view these threads to see what the saz3500 can do.

LOL! After all these years, I never knew Fosgate was unreliable flea market stuff with no customer or technical support.

Get the one that costs less. You will need it for your electrical.

I'm willing to bet money it will be the Sundown

You would be betting with yourself bro.

I never said Fosgate wasnt overpriced. That is no secret.

I love budget amps (obviously), but Fosgate is good shit. That is from personal experience.

[CrazyKenKid 64]

i retract my statement I have yet to find a satisfied customer in my little world!

I am glad to hear your review sir-lancelot!

I was mearly gooding off what what other ppl have told me regarding these amps, that and they are power hungry.

other then that i have never delt with one i am a sundown kind a guy all the way!

as for pricing i haven't looked into the RF.

also keep in mind the amp will be suited for the setup and setup goals! and since his budget is unlimited lol!

You have a good amp! Sundown is good shit!

[CrownVic 15]

They are both great amps will both do rated its just how much electrical work your gonna wanna do to support them. Ive never owned sundown but only heard good things from them. I own a RF amp and it works good and has been for a while. Its really up to you and how far you wanna go. How important is customer service to you?

[slim2fattycake 85]

aq3500? ap aqx 3500? a rf 2500 vs sd 3500 isn't a good comparison at all.

[2000LaDe 1]

i wouldnt run sundown its junk LOL

[Notorious97200 339]

You're on the Sundown forum!!!

What answers do you think you will get ? Sundown FTW !!!

There is a new amp coming "soon" : the saz 2500. It can compare better to the RF 2500.

Are you sure you need that much power for a single BTL ? Are you going to compete ?

A Sundown saz 2000 can be enough for a BTL, but I think it's discontinued.

[CrazyKenKid 64]

the 2000's are discontinued and replace with the 2500 but i am sure there are ppl who have them and wnat to sell them so they can get the 2500's

also keep in mind the 1500 woudl also be enough seeing that on the correct electical it can put out what 1970rms? or even the sae1200v1/v2 lol ample amouts of power!

but like i said earlier it all depends on your GOALS and how far you want to go!

Yea the thing is that i like the rockford design better but dont think it will bring one 15 fi btl to a lil over full power

[CrazyKenKid 64]

? why not? 2500k is a lot of power and you will need a secondary battery plus the big 3 upgrade just to keep your voltage up to snuff!

hey if you do the install right and seal off the back seat from the trunk you wil get nice results!

here check out my buddies build log in his cavy i believe his is older then yours!

[CrazyKenKid 64]

and if you need help i can help you out as best i can!

I'm a fan of RF, if money isn't a problem, as you say, then I would go with the T2500, two of them BDsynced. Get another BTL while your at it.

[jcarter1885 995]

1500 watts is enough for a BTL, 2000 watts is enough for a BTL, 2500 watts is enough for a BTL. It will depend on listening habits, goals (competing or daily), enclosure size and so on.

If you think it needs 2500 to get to full power or reach its intended output your not going about this right so give more information and we can help you better. Also make sure your budgeting some money to upgrade your electrical as well, it can be done just depends on a lot of factors.
