| the amp will do whatever you electrical will let it do, if you have a crappy electrical system an only doing about 13v maxx an dropping to like 10 than that big 3k amp you have wired down to 1ohm is gonna be at like 1200watts maybe if not less depending on electrical, box size an build i thiink? lol but seriously like i said any amp will do what it says but all amps are reated on 14,4 v except the dd amps i heard they are tested on 12v | |

| they are both good amps. . im not sure where the current draw issues you guys are talking about live... but i havent seen them. the problem is sundown is just to damn expensive for the power. "team pricing" is just retarded... | |

| so are the db able to handle a .5 or .25 ohm load? i seen some sundowns at .25 and doing ok but didnt know if the db's will handle it or shutdown and overheat! | |

| yeah im talkin bout a consistent .5 ohm load! its a daily driver but doesnt have to be on all the time but would like to be able to bump for like 10-15 min at least without overheating and shutting down! and also it wont be turned up all the way dont know if that really matters it will be at half power or less during daily use just want that extra bump for comp!! | |
