Questions and answers

- The CT-1000.1D gives more headroom at 1 and 2 ohms. Pick the CT-700.1D only if your subs' combined RMS rating is around 350-400 watts at 2 ohms.
- Is the CT-1000.1D worth the extra money?
- Yes if you want 650 watts at 2 ohms or plan to add subs later. No price was given for the CT-1000.1D, so compare its current store price against the CT-700.1D's $139.99 as of October 31, 2026.
- Which one lasts longer?
