Best bang for the buck brands?

Budget? An sq3500+hdc418 will get you pretty fucking loud for way way less then a Rockford T2/2500bdcp.

probably run you around 1250.

Sadly,the 3500.1 is one if the most robust amps I have ever used and one of the cheapest real power amps I have ever bought. I payed less for each of them then I did for each of my saz2500's. Which BTW, ended up on my desk for some capacitor repairs.

*BTW nothing wrong with sundown. They are a good Brand. Just had a bad experience in 2012.

i guess I'll be the first... funky pups...

as far as soundqubed i love there amps. in the last few months i have installed and heard dozens of them. there Lil 1200w for $260 is impressive!

budget subs..ct sounds, American bass, and um.. the sa sundown (depending on country) are great subs.

if your looking for a real budget sub the newer alpine type rs go for $120 on amazon. i know they get some hate. but i had 2 12s in 6cubes @30s on 2 ct 1400.1s strapped @.5ohm

they took the.power fine and were loud! not loud for rs loud for any (mid range)12s.

Shok industries has good stuff too, their amps are a little pricey but their subs look great for the price.

I used to nuthugg mmats everyday. We were an authorized dealer for 7 years with mmats. We dropped them in 2011.

I have nothing but good things to say about the woofers and speakers, they can take a brutal beating and sound good at the same time. Speakers built in germany,woofers&amps built In florida. I used the pro 3 way set front and rear paired with 2 dreadnaught 12's and an mmats 2100.5d

The reason we dropped them is because the amps were so picky about current, ended up with a stack of bad amps because people would use them on stock electrical. Oh and its real pricey. Wouldn't really say budget brand. Prices are like sundown.

thanks for the info. I'm def gonna look into them more. its one of those things were i don't need it just want it. I've never seen one in person. i like having what others dont.

I don't feel Sundown is really on the pricey side. You can find much more expensive brands out there.

But if you have a smallish budget, any brand can sound good. Focus on the install, and be sure to get a god box for the subs.

If you want to save money, get the speakers you like, and save on the amplifiers, save on the power.

Just my 2 cts ;-)
