Recently bought a Sanway FP14000, cost me around £800 inc postage and duty, just been testing on Shermann 2 * 18’’ bins rated at 3600 at 4 ohms, no plans of dropping it below 4 ohm load even though I have read they can handle this, nothing to complain so far

Marjan what's the rating of breakers on:

K1600, K2000, K2200 ?

What's max current draw, you've measured on these?
Ever done sine wave test?


Lev, we dont use or sell the heavy amps. For subs we use the biggest SMPS amp and for tops we use the biggest 4 channel SMPS amp. No one asked us to buy a heavy amp for decades now.

So regarding "SAE PCM20", is it worth a try !?


In my opinion the YND CK26 from Bee is a far better bet. The heavyweight K1600 is a beaut too. But it's my understanding that even these will soon be superseded.


Problem is, I would only buy amps for sub (used or new), that are tried and tested, with "Sub heavy material"..

Would prefer to get same SAE Paulus has, but they are gold dust, for good reason.

Seems strange, from website pics, they all have same 30A breaker !?

KND K1600 and K2000, according to specs, higher output than the Void 8MK2, but you can see from my profile pic, it was drawing 35A !?




The K1600 is up for £995 on elements audio website. The CK26 and K1600 are out of stock, there is one CD6000 4channel SMPS amp left though.

Was interested in trying a K1600 across 4 scoops to see how it compares to a void inf8mk2.

How does a 1450 compare to an infinite 8 mk2? 
There's one for sale near me for a great price and since getting a second infinite 8 seems to be near impossible, I might pick the 1450 up.

sae 1450 are gold dust indeed , i have been after another one for ages now myself ,
 The heavyweight K1600 my mate bought because indeed he also could not get a 1450 , it is more power than mine and he runs 3xv1000s per side , he replaced the crown5000 and said its way way better
