Out with US Amps, in with Sundown

Just swapped out my US Amps for some Sundown Audio amps. Sad to see the ol' faithful US Amps go, this was VERY hard to do. I must be a responsible sundown dealer and use the stuff that I sell. I did consider slapping a sundown sticker on the US Amp heatsinks. :lildevil:

I still have an Fi Q12 and the Sundown SAZ-1500D is my first ever class D amp. I metered at 140.5 db. Pretty damned good if you ask me for the bass eating BMW trunk. A 2.3db gain since I was metered using the sub brand new with a super stiff suspension.

Measured by a termlab in the pass side kick panel. Peak freq was 47hz. The reading might be a little higher since I was inside.

Electrical:

Stock 120 amp alt

Kinetik HC2400 battery

Used 2007 db drag racintg 45 hz test tone

Gains were all the way down which didn't matter since I was overpowering the sub.

This Fi Q sub is a beast. I've been driving this sub with a 2000 watt amp and now a 1500 watt amp. The only thing that happens is I start smelling glue when the coil heats up. Takes it like a champ with a responsible user.

I didn't get a voltage reading since the sub was getting pretty hot. Sometime later maybe.

US Amps gone and Sundown is in. I figured that it would be obvious since I'm posting in the sundown forum. :P

Ok..you got me.

Out:

USA-2000x

USA-400x

USA-200x

Fi Q12

(all of which are for sale)

In:

SAZ-1500D

SAX-100.4

AA Havoc 12

I would have shoehorned a 3000D in with another Havoc12 but I got so sick of installing 2 ft long US Amps with 4 power/gnd connection. I don't think I needed it anyways ;)
