Jacob, need some insight.

The SAZ-3500D is the successor to our extremely popular SAZ-3000D model. It is not only more powerful but even more reliable than the SAZ-3000D based on years of research in the SPL lanes and in the hands of regular customers. You will not find a better 3500-watt Class-D amplifier anywhere!

Sundown Audio only recommends this amplifier for experienced users with an upgraded alternator and additional batteries due to the enormous power output potential.

Hello Jacob,

I have 4 XS Power D3100 as secondary batts and a Yellow Top under the hood and a DC Power 320 amp alternator (strongest the company makes for me) and both of my SAZ-3500Ds are going into protect when I compete. To give you an idea of my voltage, it varies throughout the competition, (Engine on, MOD5) at the start i'll the lowest drop is high 13's with 2k rpm. After about 3 or 4 runs (burps) i'm into 12's with 2k rpm. My amps will go into protect on the first run.. as you can imagine this is effecting me in a vary big way. I fused every amp with a 300amp inline fuse, 0 gauge all around, grounded to the frame.

Do you have any suggestions for me Jacob other then buying more batteries and/or a dual alternator?

Thanks,

Domenico Zerilli

Most likely you just need to turn the gain down a bit -- you can get them to protect just by having that too high even at 1 ohm.

The gain on the master amp is a little over half way up, and with the gain knob it's a little below half way up.

You think thats too high?

I'm going to call you ina second.

This varies based on the source voltage -- I would just slowly turn it down until the amp stops going into protect

I had the same problem. Your amps are clipping out. Try starting a few clicks below the volume you start now and roll it up. My head unit goes up to 42 I start at 30 and roll to 38 then I roll the bass knob wide open

Maybe it's time to get the 4500s and more batteries?

I'm ready, just waiting on a company to make me a dual alt bracket.

I called Jacob and he gave me some advice, so time to get tweekin'

Wish we were in the same boat

Tjcurrents working on one?

We talked about it many times.. but he still needs time.

I know with my pair of SAZ2500 I had an issue with my gains being a bit to high! I had mine at about 1/2 way up on a burp and OMG protect loll so I turned them to about.. 3/8 the way up~ and Now i can burp safely lol!

O and btw I ended up setting my gains via o-scope! turns out with my source/ head unit turned all the way up and the gians being at 1/2 way it was going into protect some how lol. O and I also o-scope my h/u and it turns out it clips at 48/50! go JVC lol

Try calling a chassis fabrication shop in your area. I know the chassis shop that did the roll cage in my car has made some custom alternator brackets for other people.
