Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 27 Registered: Apr-06 | RD 800.1 or Sundown SAE 1000D. Similar in price - The sundown is $15 more ($260 and $285). I need to push two 350 RMS MA audio 12" subs. I'll be running at 1 ohm because they have dual 4 ohm voice coils. Which is the best bang for the buck or best quality? I don't want to be replacing an amp anytime soon..I'm really strapped for cash. Kevin Holden is selling either of them to me, and I trust him - I'm just looking for more input |

Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 28 Registered: Apr-06 | No input on this at all here? Someone elsewhere mentioned a refurb cadence xrs-8, 1500 RMS amp for $200 |

Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 30 Registered: Apr-06 | I'm not set on those two for certain. They just happen to be the only stuff really offered besides the cadence. One of my problems is that I don't know the volume of the box. They're MA120XE, 350 RMS with dual 4 ohm voice coils and thats about all I know. Recommended 0.75 - 1.25 cu. ft. sealed box or 2 cu. ft ported, but the box I have is sealed. Suggestions? |

Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 31 Registered: Apr-06 | Are the previously mentioned amps way better than the AUTOTEK MM1000.1D? I'm just kind of looking around at this point. Why do you say the sundown? |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 4610 Registered: Dec-05 | i'd pick RD cuz is cheaper and quality is good, but if sundown holds lower loads then pick sundown all the way |

Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 32 Registered: Apr-06 | I'm pretty sold on the RD personally. Someone is tryin to sell me on this Cadence on another forum. http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=17&idproduct=1 He wants $200 for it shipped. Thoughts? |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 4376 Registered: Jan-06 | id get the sundown over the RD. and i wouldnt get that candence. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 33 Registered: Apr-06 | I'm probably getting the sundown. Might get the RD 1000D, depending on the price the guy can do for me |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pbplayer05Post Number: 32 Registered: May-07 | both very well built good amps |
|
Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 34 Registered: Apr-06 | Ok, I'm starting to get frustrated. Here it seems Sundown is def favored, but on other forums I got guys yellin at me for being crazy to not pick up the refurb cadence for $200 with a yr warranty. Whats the reasoning for one over the other? |

Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 35 Registered: Apr-06 | A friend of mine has an alpine amp that I like the sound of. How is Sundown, RD, or the cadence compared to alpine? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pbplayer05Post Number: 34 Registered: May-07 | imo they are built alot better and also sound quality |
|
Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 37 Registered: Apr-06 | That seems to be the accepted opinion. Choosing between the Cadence TXA-1000D and the Sundown SAE-1000D at this point. Both seem like great amps, so I guess it comes down to how good the deal is :P |
