New member Username: ShopvacPost Number: 5 Registered: Jun-10 | Hi guys would like your expert opinion. I need to buy a mono amp to drive my 2 R/F P3D210 (total 800 W RMS), and would like to go with the Sundown SAZ-1000D http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/Sundown-Audio-SAZ%252d1000D.ht ml Would this amp be a good choice? Also, later, I would like to replace the 2 R/F P3D210 with a single 12'' sub that can be used with this amp. Which single 12'' sub would you recommend? A few options are appreciated. I am looking for good/loud and clean bass, with a budget between $300 to $500 for the 12'', lower the cost the better. Thanks. |

Now,i have heard of people running it at .5ohms but i myself dont have any experiance with that so... Now for a single 12, maybe an Fi Q or ssa icon? https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154c33bfa623f68/s hopdata/0050_Speakers/0030_Q/product_overview.shopscript http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/12%22-SSA-ICON-12D1%7B47%7DD2. html |

Silver Member Username: M_kimmel843Post Number: 150 Registered: Apr-10 | As for a single sub the Fi Q or SSA Icon would be great choices but thinking of cost, what about an Audioque HDC3? It might not have the SQ as the Q or Icon but for the price it's hard to beat for a woofer that, will by all means, get loud and sound good. Maybe even a Polk Audio SR. I've heard that they have very good SQ while at the same time getting very loud. |

Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 3190 Registered: Feb-05 | You might want to look into PG amp. It will do 1200RMS from 1-4 ohms. In my eyes best bang for the buck. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Phoenix-Gold-Xenon-1200-1-Monoblock-1200W-Amp-X12 00-1-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem27b3ec1cbdQQitemZ170522320061 QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo |

US Post Number: 4970 Registered: Jan-06 | I am running two SAZ-1500D @ .325 ohm daily (no comp) no problems other than my new subs getting enough excursion to hit my back door once in a while lmfao! .5 shouldn't be a problem unless you are heavy footed with the gain and don't have enough battery.

Bronze Member Username: ShopvacPost Number: 38 Registered: Jun-10 | I was wondering how it would perform on .5 ohms, thanks Polo... |
