    Because he follows the band wagon. I hate how when someone says what they want cheap price at a certain power output and people still tell them to go with sundown even though its like 100+ dollars ove

    The fact of the matter is... AudioQue has had the same amp, the same parts with no documented revisions since the product was released. Can you say the same for Sundown? How many revisions and upgrade

    If it has the specs you need, the power you want, and fits your budget........get it. It's not a bad amp, people just talk shit because they see other people do it, not because they have ever owned o

Price and performance Sundown SAZ or the upcoming new SAX series would be a better buy. You get what you pay for imo.

im a super OCD with this kind of stuff, i need something that is cheap, but i need said thing to be EXACTLY what i want and i hate it. i think ill get the AQ, for now and then upgrade to the sundown. i need to save as much money as i possibly can. GAH i hate these types of decisions >.<"

The AQ is a fine amp. I have installed 3-4 of the 1200's and 2 of their bigger brother the 2200. All do rated power and all work flawlessly.

He is right, people talk shit because they see the MOD's do it. I have never seen a bad thing from an AQ that was the amps fault.

And from testing, as far as we can tell the "Clip" LED on the bass knob is pretty accurate.

Shizzon had issues with his first set of AQ amps. Would have to search to find the post. I know AQ took care of him so the CS at AQ is good.

I'm a Sundown Rep so yes I am biased, therefore my answer. Sundown has proven itself over the years with great products and cs.

Buy what fit's the budget!

Yes, AQ and DD amps use the same bass knob. It has a blue "Power" LED and a red "clip" LED. The blue one is always one and the red one flashes or lights up as you send a clipped signal to woofers.

Solution, do 1/0 the first time. Use a D-Block to bring it down to 4awg.

That would work, but you can just go to Best Buy and grab a Rockford one. I think it has one 1/0 in and four 4awg out.
