sundownz Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Have had a few people ask for a comparison and I happened to get one in for trade -- so here it is. Not sure if this is factory or from the repair but the AQ also uses Fairchild output parts vs. IRF parts: * SAZ-3500D is a bit longer and wider * SAZ-3500D has 20 caps in PS section vs. 16 in the AQ * Another view of the power supplies in comparison * Output sections : Output inductors are equal, SAZ-3500D uses 16 outputs vs. 12 in the AQ * SAZ-3500D Transformers compared to a dollar bill * AQ-3500D Transformers compared to a dollar bill - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Before anyone starts a fight... I am just offering a comparison of parts counts, sizes, etc. I am not saying anything bad about the AQ product. - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewer_brewer Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 nice. your looks a little beefier but did you really have to flash the money around like that to make us feel so poor?

J00bles Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 wow, i expected the AQ to be more beefy. wishful thinking i guess. I suppose this is the reason that sundown is the best! 8 DC Level 4 M2 15s2 DC Audio 5ks26^2 clamshell tuned to 30hz9 Kinetik 1400sMechman externally reg'd 340 S seriesin a 99 Jeep Cherokee Click to see J00bles' Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewer_brewer Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 the AQ is still beefy man. its just the sundown makes the AQ look small REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
