The guts of this amplifier look built reallly well

[@600zxr]

Basically the same as Power Acoustik Vertigo 10000. The CAB 22 is strappable, the Vertigo is not. Also looks like the CAB might have some upgraded caps.

SunDown is a class act all around. They not only believe in their products, they also believe in other companies and support them. In other words they are not snobs' . Thank you for being you everyone at SunDown Audio. Your shit indeed does not have an odor. I have spoken.

One of the best purchases I've made so far. I went with double 2/0 inputs because im still wired to .5 ohm and I need to upgrade my electrical again.(Excessive Amperage 320amp Alt and a D2700). Been playing with it and having lots of fun until i see low 12v then I let it charge back up. Once I go lithium full tilt should be crazy loud. Enjoy it my dude!

really wish they would release a manual or any type of specs id love to see what kind of damping factor it has

Not sure what the specs are on this amplifier but I just listened to a demo of this amp in a SQ system where the guy switched out his SQ amp and subwoofer temporarily to give me a demo of a Sundown Audio sa 10 in a t-line box that he was selling. The amplifier was super clean with excellent damping and the single 10 in a well built t-line was probably the best single sub system that I have ever heard and I have been into car Audio for 20+ years.

[@bbay1977]

@@chrisgraham2869 Thanks for the response. I was going to order one but backed out. Mainly because I couldn't really find any feedback on running them for long periods of time. I have just been using my old Rockford amp from way back in the day when they were called out for being cheater amps 😆. It's the Power Punch 200 Trans Ana amp. Its only wired in a 4 ohm, because I take long rides and it over heats if I were it at 2 ohms. What's crazy is I can sell that amp and buy one like this and put cash in my pocket as well cause they still hold value even being as old as it is. I will probably look for a collector some where so I can sell it local and buy this amp. I did run my wires already for this amp though. I will have to buy me a pair of subs for it though that will handle the 1 ohm. Thanks again for the feedback so now I can get this amp.

[@12jazion]

@@bbay1977 I wouldn't trade a Rockford for Chinese garbage like CAB. My rockford amp is 14 years old and still runs perfect, I guarantee the same can't be said about CAB amps. The name is car audio bargain, it says cheap right in the name.

The American Bass XFLs finally fell victim to the cab22's.....obviously lol. Thought I had an issue with one of my amps, opened the trunk and the foam surrounding on both subs was destroyed, both spiders on both subs ripped off the coils and tinsel leads broke. But damn they were POUNDING before the died. Ordered two recones today 🤗

I've currently got the Elites and a single cab22. I just bought a 200ah agm battery yesterday from a friend and plan to build a box that seals the trunk off so I don't get any rattle. Next year I'm gonna get a 2nd cab22 and see how long the Elites would last lol

So much false info put out there. The only way your getting 68volt clean out of that amp. Is if your have 4 volt or HIGHER preout voltage You have fixed ohm loads. So you don't have impedance rise.

[@12jazion]

So how exactly does a brand like Car Audio Bargain make a 2200 watt amp for 250 bucks? A comparable amp from a decent brand like Rockford Fosgate costs 2k, a JL Audio 1000 watt is around 1k, do CAB engineers have some magic that no one else does? Are the CAB engineers better than the millions invested in engineering by Rockford, Kicker, JL, Alpine, MTX, and all the other big brands out there? How is it that only these no name brand dirt cheap amps seem to spit out massive numbers on the amp dyno? Is that thing even remotely accurate? I have heard many amps like these and a 1k watt decent amp pounds way harder and sounds much cleaner than these bajillion gigawatt Chinese Cheapos. They can't even engineer a case that looks like they spent 5 minutes thinking about it so how do you expect them to bottle lighting inside it? How does it cool with over 2k watts flowing thru it, the heat sink is pathetic and it has no fans, the power terminals are casted out of pot metal, and nothing on that amp looks remotely quality. BTW, I have two of them at my shop right now and they look like trash, I was thinking of telling my customer to return them and get something decent but I will hook them up and see if they burn his car down.

@@brianhager8874 I installed them and they sound like garbage, that is why they are so cheap. They are a Chinese amp board that CAB bought on wish for 50 bucks and they put them in their own case. The sound quality is just terrible, the 4 channel has a high pitched whine even when the car is not running and the 4500 watt mono hits softer than a Rockford 1000 watt. I was not happy with them at all but my customer seems to like them, to each his own I guess.
