What makes them different?


Recommended Posts

This is going to sound really dumb but what makes amps so different?

I've seen lots of amps get bashed on for not doing what they say their wattage is but why do the company's say they do if they don't actilly put it out? Also this is just an example but it applys for all company's not just my example. Why is a for say a aq 2200 450 and a sundown 1500 500 is it just the maker or is their a mechinal reason?

Just kinda courios

A lot has to do with the durability of the product, how it's made, whether it is hand made or robot made. How it's self protection works and it's reliability.

Not sure about the sundown, but as far as i know, aq's amps and dc's amps come from the same build house so the quality of the parts is most likely the same.

they are all basically the same, all do over their rated power. They are all amazing amps.
