I know most amps have to battle heat to stay running as my last amp use to operate well into the 150 degree range on a normal basis but I just have one question. Wheres the heat at on this SAE-1200D???? Ive been bumping hard for 3-4 hours straight and not even a sweat. I can touch it at the end of the night and the heatsinks drain the heat out of my body. How is this thing suppose to be a normal amp????

They are good amps. Most of the heat dissipates from the sides.

That's Sundown for ya

The 1200s run unusually cool when used properly

The sample casing for the 1200 was about 1/2 the aluminum mass of our tooling and still ran cool - we added double the aluminum and more surface area and you see the results!

just remember it's a plus when buying sundown!

Oh yea....although I think Im done upgrading amps for a long time...I think I found my limit in loudness with this SAE!!! Dont think I would want it any more louder now lol. Might upgrade to a 1500 if there ever comes a time again lol.

aren't they good down to .5 ohms. I not sure but iv'e heard they're good amps.

They can, but you shouldn't do it daily.

They are warrantied down to 1 ohm. People do run them lower, but usually for burps. Even though Jacob makes some excellent amplifiers, I wouldn't run .5 daily.

Indeed... don't suggest using the 1200D under 1 ohm.
