Why does this kind of amp cost so much less?

About to order a new amp and just had a few questions before i did,  hope this is not considered a vs thread.

 

Pretty much have my mind set on Sundowns new Salt-4 amp at 1229$.   But they also have new 5k coming out for $469 the sfb-5000d.

 

My question is why is one less then half the

price when they both can put out just over 5000 watts at 1ohm?

Awww that makes sense, guessing then it has a limited range.

Why would t you put a sub on it? Decks have xovers .. they are fine  for subs you just have to use a separate xover
