Sundown sax-100.4

[slam 0]

I know the sax-100.4 can handle 10-16v but what about a lil above that. lets say from 17-18v. Im trying to run my whole system all on 16v eliminating the extra 1/0 wire running from under the hood and adding to the 16v charging system. thanx in advance

well 17-18 volt is a 16 volts charging system

as 14 volt is a charge for a 12 volt system

as far as it application to the sax 100.4 i have no idea.

just did a lil research common sense and on the saz-3000d. it says Operating Voltage : DC 10V~18V and on the 100.4 it say Operating Voltage : DC 10V~16V. so im assuming my answer is a no

[sundownz 197]

Correct, it will not like 17-18 volts.

You can add a Kinetik Tri-Post battery and run it off the 12v post - thats one easy way to do it.

Nice Opti 2500 by the way. The '96 series built by Lanzar were some of my favorite amps in the mid 90's. I still have a 2500, a 4150 and a 6200.

thanx. I love their old stuff

another question:

I received my sax-100.4 and turned it on only to notice engine noise coming out of channels 3 & 4. Some other ppl told me they had the same problem. Is there a fix for this without sending it in? I did a search and didnt find nething thanx

Hit it with a hammer a few times! If that doesn't work then send it in, I doubt it is anything you could fix, I imagine Jake could though!

Hmmm, shure it's not those speakers? Any power cable running with your 3-4 channel interconnects?

Might have a solder joint issue on the crossover sub-card. DB-R can fix this pretty quickly.
