how are cadence amps? i've heard some people talk about them but i don't know much about them. i'm looking at getting the Z9000F to run a brahma 12 inch. here's the link https://www.cadencesound.com/action.lasso?-Database=Products&-Table=WEB&-ResponseAny=amplifiers_detail.html&-token.series=Z&-token.description=&-KeyField=ID&-KeyValue=260&-search i was wondering, on the facts it says that in mono it pushes 800 watts. is that true? would it be a sufficient amp for a brahma?

it depends on how you wire it. I have a cadence ZRS-9 running both of my brahmas wired down to 2 ohms, giving them 800 WRMS each. That amp is underrated because it only says 1000 W @ 2, when it really is like 1600. Cadence amps are killer dude and have some of the lowest distortion i have ever seen, excluding nakamichi zapco and us amps. Great amps and very durable.

Elemental makes good subs, Cadence makes good amps. Simple as that. Cadence also makes a mean component, those CVL-6k's.
