Sundown Audio

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on (ssa )Sundown forum , from (TRZ)Tremorz Auto Sound , Statesville N.C

I might be able to get a hold of a preproduction prototype model 100.4. What are the differences between the two? TIA.

1. I'm in the middle of buying an SAE 1000d from a member of another forum and I'm curious about how many amps is this going to draw, I was guessing around a 150 amp fuse (guessed draw to be around 125 amps) assumed .8 efficiency) to be safe, but I'm not sure, and I figured someone on here could give me a much more accurate number and maybe even a link to fuses that would perfectly fit my system. 2. Also I've looked at other topics concerning this amp and it seems that it has 2 positive and 2 negative ports for the speaker wire... but it's a monoblock amp? Once I get the amp i plan on hooking it up to my two Alpine Type R's and I'm wondering, do I hook them up …

Hi, idk if this has been asked b4 but what does it take to be on team sundown, requirements and that stuff thanks. Daniel

Pre-Orders for the SD-1 v.2 are open now. I expect to have them before the end of the year. The pre-order will go on until December 14th (extended from the 7th). DESCRIPTION: These subs will throw down in very small enclosures and will now handle much more power than the original SD-1. Ideal for shallow truck enclosures! They utilize a single 6" diameter magnet slug to achieve the necessary flux. Behind the cone you will find a progressive roll spider and a special treatment applied to the back of surround and upper lip of the cone to get more stability from the surround and to bring the Mms to where it needed to be. The leads are offset out to the sides and slightly rais…

Just wanted to give a public thank you for the amazing customer service!! The amps showed up today, a couple days before I expected them to. I will always give you the first shot at any audio business I may have in the future( and I know I will;)). Just got my 2 sax-100.2's to go with my saz-1500d. I'm gonna try to run them in dual mono to my Diamond d-971 components, I think that will drop my noise levels wayyyy down, and really help my staging/imaging as well. Again, Jacob... THANK YOU!!!

Heard one tonight... Wow. The owner was Toby from T&J Elite Customs in Oldsmar, FL. Was in an Escalade, probably an 04 or so. Was a SAZ-3000D running a Critical Mass 5000 in a box that was around 3 cubes tuned to 38hz. SAX-100.2 on the Critical Mass comp set. Entire system was 1 12, 2 6.5s, and 2 tweeters. Those components screamed! They sounded great, and blended perfectly. The sub was probably the best sounding woofer Ive ever heard. Couldnt even tell there was a sub, you would think it was actually a bass drum. As good as it sounded, he metered it and it was right at 144.xdbs on the Termlab, legal. He is a Sundown dealer and was playing with the 3000D and hooked it…

im wanting to purchase a phase linear uv8 flip out dvd player for my car.ive got 4 12's and a 1500d.im installing 2 batterys and waitn to install a altenator.ive had a problem i cant figure out w my alpine head unit and was going to get this one cause a few of my friends have one and it looks great and sounds good and is a great price right now.does anyone know about these head units and are they ok w alot of power.im eventually going to do 2 1500d's.thanks !!!!!!!!

Jacob, how did you decide to make the 100.2 and 1500D in the same manual? The only pages they have in common are the Warranty and Troubleshooting.

Photo of the 12" model. T/S Specs for 12" D1 model: Qts = 0.403 Qms = 6.830 Qes = 0.428 Fs = 43 Hz (fresh without break-in) VAS = 11.65 L (fresh without break-in) Le = 1.41 mH (series) Re = 1.59 ohms Xmax = 20 mm BL = 17.58 N/A 15" model T/S are TBA. This sub is designed to be something that you can roll around with daily and hit SPL competitions with, all in the same woofer It's very daily friend but will still put up good numbers on the meter when you want it to do so. Now... they will be ready in February in 12" and 15" sizes with D1 and D2 coils. My question is this... who wants to be able to pre-order them now? If there is enough interest I will go ahead and get it …

ok,im running a 1500d to 4 12's.my voltege is dropping from 14 to 11.8.its killing me and i know i need a altenator.ive got a deka intimadator under the hood and was wondering if someone could help me w a altenator.would a 240 amp be too much and what kind.also what kind of batterys are best to put in the back?im planning on buying a second 1500d later in the year and need every thing set up right!!thanks for all responces!!!

What about be the minimum type of electrical system that i would need to support this. Would Big3, 136 amp alternator, and a powermaster 3100 in the front be enough?

Well im tired of having no bass in about all of my rides. Know that its getting to were its snowing and blowing i would like to get something in the van to hold me over unit summer seeing my 5th and 6th DD 3518's are not in and im still getting around money to power them up. Seeing i got all this stuff laying around or can be used in the install come summer its not gonna cost me anything or take away from my budget (other then about 3 sheets of mdf).

Would an electrical system comprising of a 100A alt, two yellow tops, and 0/1 throughout support a 1500D @ .5 ohm?

I know that they offer the SD1 and SD1v.2 and that they are coming out with the nightshade but the SD1v.2 is too small for me, does not take enough power and the nightshade takes plenty of power but it appears to be geared towards full blown SPL, correct me if I'm wrong. I was wondering if there are going to be any subs to fill the gap between these woofers, a good daily driving sub that can take a good 2-2.5kw RMS. I was also wondering about the amps. I know that the 1500 will do around 2kw and the 3000 will do around 3.5-4kw. However I was wondering if there are going to be any amps that do in between, maybe a SAE-2000 or 2500. Let me know any info thank you.

I received my 100.4 and i must say amazing customer service and extremely fast shipping. I am going to run active with Supremo Tweeters and SEA mids. From people's experience should i use the filters from my pioneer 9800 head unit or from the amp?

need specs b/c im designing a box for my 2 10's and dont have them here at college. so i need the depth of the sub and the cut out diameter. and also i plan on porting them and tuning them to 28hz. what is the recommended volume of the box for each sub at that frequency? i know it states 1.00 - 1.25 ft^3 @ 30 - 35 Hz Ported on the 10". but what is the optimal for this situation? thanks

Hi guys my name is Joey aka ronrico41I8. Wanted to go with the Sundown guys about this as I figure you'd have the best ideas considering familiarity with this product. Just purchased a SAZ-3000D that I plan on using w/Fi subs. I plan on purchasing a 100.4 and 100.2 in the near future. I would like to get away with using 4-6 batteries as my ride should be bagged in January and I need room for the air tank and enclosure. I would like a high voltage electrical sytem that can get me 5000 watts out of this baby. Is this possible? What is the highest voltage system I can use on a vehicle that is driven just several times a month. Whip is a 1988 Chevy S10 Blazer with V8 …

We put the Nightshade in Sean's truck and beat the crap out of it with 4x SAZ-1500Ds at 1/2 ohm nominal each (about 1.15 ohm each with impedance rise): * 4.5 ft^3 box tuned to around 35 Hz or so (same box from SDE post) * Front of the woofer in the "wall" setup Peak was at 54 Hz and SPL is as follows: 40.9 watts @ 133.0 dB 141.1 watts @ 137.8 dB 311.3 watts @ 140.7 dB 513.4 watts @ 142.7 dB 811.5 watts @ 144.5 dB 1731.2 watts @ 146.9 dB 2845 watts @ 148.1 dB 4505 watts @ 149.2 dB 7081 watts @ 151.2 dB -- Still gained 2 dB at this point, very little compression The next step blew one coil on the Nigthshade... so we didn't get any more SPL readings. Our meters don't have …

Alright, my 2 amps came in. My kicker amps never had this many controls, so I'm going to need some help... How do I hookup the RCA's on the 1000D? Besides the gain, how should I set the other controls? Why are there 2 speaker terminals if it's a 1 channel amp? Which terminals do I use for a single dual 2 ohm sub? How do I hookup the RCA's on the 100.4? ...All the controls? The manuals say practically nothing. 1000D... 100.4... If you need a better picture of something please let me know.

ive got a alpine head unit[new],and its powern off if i turn it up past 16 on vol.im running a 1500d and im hittn hard but ive never had this problem before.it skips sometimes but mainly cuts off!!!does anyone know what my problem is or do i just need a new or older radio?thanks guys and ya'll have all been a big help!!!i know its not the amp cause it doesnt cut off till the radio powers off.the only thing thats funny is it turn completely off and then powers right back on!!!

So what's involved in refurbing an amp? I wouldn't mind snatching up that 1500D, but I don't want to lay down four bills, only to be stuck with a large paperweight just out of the 90 day warranty. Jacob, hows the reliability rate with the refurbs?

just wanting to know whats the best rca's to use w my 1500d?i had memphis rca's and read one hear that theres been problems w those on sundown amps.wanting the best for my killer amp.thanks!!!!

If I use the first four channels for a front stage (woofer/tweets), would I be able to run a pair of coaxial's for the "5th and 6th" channels in the rear doors. The coax's will be 4 ohm models.

The 1500D being $599 and the 1000D being only $399 means the 1000D costs less per watt. So why would someone get the 1500 over the 1000?
