that was actually a mistake its 34hz.. The box was professionally built by a very reputable shop.How certain are you that the box is tuned to 35?

On the subsonic I have seen so many different ways on that from half octave to 5hz below and 1 or 2 hz below, so I'm not really sure is the best . the box is tuned at 35hz subs are sundown sa12.Set the high pass filter / subsonic filter a few hertz below the tuning frequency of the enclosure.
Personally I like the low pass filter set around 50-60hz, but you could try 80hz and work your way down until you're happy.

From everyone ive personally spoke with sundown is really good about customer care and will most likely take care of it I hope.. I really dont want to buy two more just to try to have a flawless matching pair...

I cant really understand this as A stock though ... when I read the description of what they sell as B stock well this is what I have.

I ran old school rockford hx and hx power back in the day and replaced a few here and there and they always looked perfect. Maybe my standards are to high .

hope not I got these subs for the look also . The look not is not A quality. .. if this is A stock I hate to see B stock lol... I spent a lot on a custom enclosure an would like my subs to not only sound but look flawless.
I wouldn't say you were wrong per-say, but I have a feeling that sundown might tell you the same.
IDk maybe im wrong for feeling this way but I believe paying $200 for a 12 inch sub when get one two years later being its the same model I should have an identical twin! When I order two at the same time should be identical.Honestly that's really not outside of normal glue jobs looks like someone had a small drip and wiped up the excess. Normally Sundown will take them out of the box and inspect them and put them back in, so there is room for small things like that to slip through the crack.

I did contact them late yesterday. Brandon emailed back I sent pictures and information im waiting on a reply. On here I was just asking how everyone else's look for curiosity. Im not bashing anyone I want to get that out there for sure I have nothing bad to say about sundown audio some of the best sounding subs and amps I've ran.you should probably contact them directly. personally I wouldn't be happy with a sloppy glue job.

Ok so I got a set of SA 12's a few months back had originally had two e12's on my old amp but replaced the amp with a saz-1200d and my e12's was dual 2ohm so I ordered two of the new v2 dual 4ohm but find out a few days later they are out of stock.. so thinking I asked if I could just pay the difference for two new Sa12's I was told sure. . So now after having them and meeting a few other people's that have sa's looking at mine it almost looks like I was sent B stock . Im not pointing blame would just like to know because I paid for grade A.. I cant post pictures right now but the gule around the dust cap one one is kinda sloppy and on the other one it looks like a drop of glue is on the cone.. I dont know if this is normal for this sub because I haven't seen anyone else's in person like this. Im sure sundown will make it right if I was sent the wrong ones but its the weekend and just curious if anyone on here might know...

I've set it both ways an sounds good but the amps Clip light when at high volume stays red showing clipping so how accurate is that?

Ok so with a sundown saz1200d its 12 volt ratting is 1200+ watts an something like 1400+ at 14 volt .. so when setting the gain to be some where safe would it be better to set it with the car running? I have the big 3 done an a hc1400 up front an a hc800 in the back...

so if the smd dd1 is used properly by the user manual it won't hurt a sundown amp correct?It has nothing to do with our amps specifically.
0 -
lots of post online of repair work from db-r.com sayin the damage was from people who used the smd dd1 on the amp... Sundownwho told you this?
0 -
ok but still yet how could it damage the amp? Sundown in question.Do a search for a dd1 on the forum here. This has been covered MANY MANY times. The dd1 is a useless pos for any amp regardless of brand.
0 -
I've seen a lot on the net about how the smd dd1 can damage sundown amps... Why? How? An why is this only sundown amps. Is it all user error or what?

well I set the gain with a dmm at 34.6.. the amp is a sundown saz1200d but I'm 3/4 the way on the gain..You NEVER want to set the gain higher than the H/U's output voltage in your case(and mine) that's .4v!! Other wise you are garunteed clipping the sub no matter what volume you are at.

The ddx370 has a subwoofer level control that goes to -50 an +10 .. my older kenwood didn't have this . So I emailed kenwood to ask if that wouy effect my sub RCA voltage an they said no not at all. It's 4 volts at max clean signal. But I know I've heard you have to max that output on some decks to get proper voltage. My gain is set very high with a dmm to reach 34.6 volt with the sub level at 0.

Only thing I have amped is my subs .. stocks doors on the headunit...some people say the non excelon clip at 28 to 29 with everything flat. Idk

I run my Kenwood Excelon KDC-X497 at 33 and have no distortion or clipping. The way I have my amp set, my H/U will distort a tiny bit on only some songs when at the full 35. Alot of it depends on if your amped up..If you are, it is equally, if not more important to make sure your voltage gains at the amp are set properly. I also reccomend running your head unit "flat"...as in all "0's" +or- 1 or 2 on bass, mid, and high settings with no bass boost to help prevent clipping and again refer to the amp for tuning.

Do anyone know what volume the ddx370 starts to clip? .I've heard the excelon kenwoods can do the full 35 of 35 volume . But the ddx370 is not an excelon .. it is 35 max volume...
