Posted March 12, 200916 yr i still got my fi bl 15" sitting in my room waiting to be installed into my 04 chevy colorado. my box is 3.9 ft^3 tuned @ 32 hz.i finally decided to go with sundown amps over rockford because i can get them cheaper. but i cant decide between the saz1500 or the sae1200. i can get the saz1500 $570 and the sae1200 for $350. i talked to jacob (sundown audio owner) and he said that the saz1500 is actually 1800 at 1 ohm and the sae1200 is actually 1500 at 1 ohm. will the bl be able to handle the saz1500? or should i just stick with the sae1200...plus its cheaper . im actually leaning towards the saz1500 but im afraid that it will be too much for my bl since im gonna be playing it daily. my bl has cooling option, is daily, dual 2 wiring down to 1 ohm. any opinions or comments are appreciated

March 12, 200916 yr get the 1500 and if it's too much just keep the gains down, chances are if you buy the 1200 you will be dissappointed due to the fact it may not push it perfectly, not to say it wont make it move cause it will, but 1500 is a much better choice!
March 13, 200916 yr Author Actually the 1200D will be close to 1500 watts, so more then enough power.yeah thats why i said "the sae1200 is actually 1500 at 1 ohm." but i cant decide if 1800 will be better cuz bl is actually 1500 rms

March 13, 200916 yr The BL is actually rated at 1000w. I would feel a little shaky about putting that PLUS 800w on it. I'd get the 1200 and get the BL fully loaded.

Where did you get this "actually rated at 1500 watts?"

March 13, 200916 yr i would get the 1500d. the only reason i would is because i would rather not push my amp to its limits every time i want to bump my subs. and if your tight on cash you might want to check out a qudioque
