Sundown 2500 How many have tested it ?

how many have tested the sundown 2500 . whats ur Opinion on it . I run 0-600 ss looking for some different options on amps right now . Im currently runnin a DB Drive Pd2000 . How would it compare to it and has anyone compared it to a RD D5 . Just checking with everyone before I buy a new amp.

rd d5,ab200.1,cactus pf600.1,ddm3a,and treo 4.1 would prob be your best bet for that class..

dont quote me on this but i dont think the sundown 2500 would fly in that class.. 2500 would be 625 watts at 4 ohm correct?

already checked it can be used

Used that list that mr bashful listed. Those are some great amps an runs that class. The d5's are string ass amps an the cactus amps are great ones too

Sanman?????????????????? What do you know about the power the 2500 does i told this man you would probly know bro

since when is the 2500 usable? i know the 2000 was usable but the 2500 is rated to high unless it has been tested and approved! who told u it can be used?

RMS power, 1 ohm mono 2500W x 1CH

RMS power, 2 ohm mono 1200W x 1CH

RMS power, 4 ohm mono 600W x 1CH

Thats the specs off SAs website and I asked Show B she said its legal

remember to go by the highest rating and than divide it down. That is usaci rules whichever is the higher of the 2. Its the same deal with the sundown 4500, sundown rates it at 900 at 4 ohm but if you divide down that 4500 it comes out to 1225 at 4 ohm, and 2 can not be used in 601 to 1800.

that math looks a little silly to me. maybe they should have called it a 2400.

Why on earth would you guys \"Female dog\" about this amp when you let the Cow poopy the cactus pulled go through?


OP, Use the amp, everyone who tells you that you can't needs a reality check.

i just asked the cactus was tested we have been over this i just always thought it was 625 giving the divided rull. and where did anybody \"Female dog\"??? i just asked how he came by that cuz i thought it was not usable. i doubt it will ever do what a d5, m3 or pf600 will do but i always thought it should be just wondered how he came by this.

What F3M4 said.......I caught something that shouldn't have happened a little too late, but meh. It's at least got a rating unlike some of the DD amps at 4ohms.

It has nothin to do with amp it is the rules. That's the problem now a days the more to push cause you don't like a rule the worse Usaci gets, we have rules that everybody else goes by way start changing them cause it doesn't fit or you don't see the relevance of it? Next it won't matter to you if his/her box is a inch to tall or little past the b-pillars cause of the sub surrounds but at least his box isn't. We have rules to go by once they stop to matter where does it end.....

One of my 2500s was clamped at 2320w @ 1.9 ohm with a nominal load of 1 ohm. Once I get both in strapped at 1 ohm I'll have clamped results. I expect roughly 3k @ 1 ohm from these amps.

And YET AGAIN 4ohm ratings come back to bite us in the ass.

NO AMP ON THE MARKET PRODUCES 1/2 RATED POWER WHEN YOU DOUBLE THE LOAD!!!!!

Plain and simple.
The equation used in USACi only works in a PERFECT WORLD....well damit, we don't have a perfect world.

Simply because NO AMP is 100% efficient.


EDIT:

So...USACI (Ralph), what IS the sundown 2.5k rated @ 4ohm?

thats all im sayin i agree i think it should be allowed but then it comes down to they arent supporting usaci if they were then would just send 1 to test and it would be legal no matter what but i doubt they do. i do agree cannaan the rules are flawed but u think changing it is gonna matter then we just get 1 ohm ratings on amps that do twice that at .25 since its not a rated # we r back in the same boat!

So whats the deal on this amp is it legal or not

The 4 ohm is 625. So nope

You are right the amp is rated at 625 and NOT allowed in 0-600. (Per ShowB and Ralph )

4 ohm is 625. So nope

actually if im not mistaken you need to go by the companies suggested 4 ohm rating, and if you dont beleive it you need to protest it to have it changed.

also whats not know is the voltage used to test this amplifier at i just looked at the website, and sent it to jenissa it doesnt list the voltage but does state everything else

let me guess another non car audio person went to a show and got his fornicating ass handed to him so he decided to complain does that sound about right ????

It actually, clamped close to a D5 in my app, I need to wire down to see what happens, but I believe its a viable option for 0-600.

It wouldn't be a BAD choice if it fell within the 4 ohm rating.

I will say it's awfully protecty, but that could have been from low voltage

yeah i bet it would pass just ask jacob to send 1 in.

I hope he does cause I really feel it will pass, I think

Thanks Sanman for your input but nope not the case, he is asking so he is legal.

yeah it doesnt look as beefy as a d5 or treo to me i wouldnt be shocked to see it pass a bench test for 0-600 myself
