So I got a couple questions.

1. Are these power rating tested at 12.8 volts as I've seen on here?

2. What would actual output be at 1ohm around 14.0-14.4v?

3. Also how are these cooled? Big power sink or fan cooled?

Would one of these power 4 12" DC Audio LVL 4?

Thanks to all who chime in =]

I can get the sundown brand new for an extra $100 but idk which is stronger.

Audioque says 4300x1@1ohm at 14.4v

Sundown says 3500x1@1ohm at 12.8v

I just wanna know what is gonna put out more power for me.

People say the Sundown is way underated. I need at least 4k rms and anything extra would be awesome!

This is Jacob's actual clamp test of the SAZ 3500

SAZ-3500D:

CIMG2508.JPG

POWER : 3660 Watts

AMP VOLTAGE (measured) : 65.84 V

AMP CURRENT (calculated) : 55.58 A

ACTUAL IMPEDANCE (calculated) : 1.18 ohms

SUPPLY VOLTAGE : 11.9 V

If you do straight math, the 3500.1 (if doing exactly rated) is putting out about 298 amps worth of current, and Jacob's test shows the SAZ3500 putting out about 307 amps worth of current. So the SAZ is going to put out more power and do well over rated at 14.4. This also depends on your box rise, but both amps are going to be affected by that.

So your saying just straight numbers both amps at 14.4 volts the SAZ-3500 will put out more @1ohm. And how sure are you?
