Posted August 28, 201114 yr Sup guys quick question,What do you think would be the best amp to accommodate a sundown audio sa8. The sub would be in a ported enclosure around .8 cubic ft tuned about 31-32 hz. I want use for daily driver not spl. I know it's rated at 400rms but do you guys think it can handle more? For amps I like rf kicker jl I've owned all three, never had problems. It's just very hard to choose the correct amp. Usually I have the same brand for both sub and aml but sundown doesn't have a amp around 400rms (at least not in my price range)I mean I wouldn't wanna spend the extra dollars for something like sae1000. Sure there will be headroom but I don't plan on upgrading this is going in my sentra for driving to work and school. my electrical is ready for whatever I throw at it. My voltage is steady 15.6 (without any audio setup) Thanks guys I'm researching as well but personally idk what to pick.
August 28, 201114 yr If you want to keep them the same you can use the SAX 125.2http://www.soundsolu...%252d125.2.html
August 28, 201114 yr Author If you want to keep them the same you can use the SAX 125.2http://www.soundsolu...%252d125.2.htmlI was always a guy who uses only monoblocks for subs, totally forgot about sundowns other amps! This looks like the right fit, 400rms at 4ohms can't get any better than that! And $250, reasonable..

August 28, 201114 yr Author Nope I only want one. And whoa! That's a good price for the sax 1200! Although it says b stock? Can I trust them?

August 28, 201114 yr Nope I only want one. And whoa! That's a good price for the sax 1200! Although it says b stock? Can I trust them?you can trust them. i bought my saz1500 from them. nothing wrong with the amp. grrreat customer service too, they actually want to help you lol.
August 28, 201114 yr How about 400 rms of Sundown power for $132 with a warranty? http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_67_69_75&products_id=253
August 28, 201114 yr My vote would be for the sax125.2. I run one for my front stage and one for my substage. They are very nice amps.
August 28, 201114 yr I think a 2 channel like the ones Ohjay and Bromo posted are a good idea. B-Stock means that the amps have cosmetic defects, but are perfectly functional. Just want to be sure you understand that.
August 28, 201114 yr My B-stock amps from Chris are in great shape, they are only B-stock because they aren't perfect. Neither of the two I received have any scratches other than the mounting feet and bottom cover.
August 28, 201114 yr I got a Rockford Fosgate R500.1 for my sa-8 it puts out 500 Watts x 1 @ 2-Ohms and the sub takes it all day long with know problems you can find the amp on ebay for $140 with free shiping thes set up is nice but dont put the amp under a seat or it might overheat Edited August 28, 201114 yr by spljim
August 29, 201114 yr Author Oh well dang im glad you guys showed me that site ive never heard of db r till now. After I get permission from my dad ill hopefully get that sundown 125.2. I am still thinking whether I should take my sa8 out of my home setup or buy another one lol
August 30, 201114 yr Author I like the sundown 100.2 on dbr especially the price. Is that stable 1 ohm?
August 31, 201114 yr Author is it bad to wire a dual 4 ohm sub parallel on a 2 channel amp? if the amp IS two ohm stable it shouldnt be a problem right?
