Sundown Audio

What kind of power will a pair of SAZ-3000d's put out at 1 ohm? Just looking for an estimate.

Curious as to if there was a push back on time or date.

Had to do some work on my system, my MDF speaker mounts had rotted away in my doors, so while I had the car apart replacing them, I decided to also install the SAX 1000D I had bought a year or so ago, and hadn't yet gotten around to putting in my system. This was to replace the Alpine MRV T-505 that I had been using as a sunb amp. Wow, the difference in bass output is amazing, this is almost too much bass. I don't want my car to sound like the typical boom thump that you'll hear in just about every town in America, but right now it does. Bass just completely overwhelms the satellites, even with my bass settings on the radio set at -6. I've got gain at about 60%, not su…

Anyone trying to call me my phone IS NOT working at the shop. AT&T is taking their time fixing it... I've had no dial tone since last Tuesday afternoon. I was gone most of the time and was hoping they would fix it but hey have not... have called several times today from my cell with no results yet. Apparently I have to pay outrageous pricing for "commercial grade" service but they have all day to fix my problems.

A power testing thread for the SAZ-1000D. So I will post what I found..... These are NOT official testing results. Stock Alt Yellow Top Under Hood Kinetik 2400 in rear Resting voltage at 13.6 ....... I had just been doing TL testing and batts were dead With 2 L7 15"s wiring to .5ohm I got, 1080 watts with drop to 12.9 and imp rise to 1.8 ohm. I now have two of these little monsters and will be doing some more testing soon

I've mainly been updating on Facebook but we have been heavily involved in moving our location about 20 minutes down the road to Claremont, NC to a much larger facility for most of July. We now have functional shipping, testing, and build room areas at the new location plus a few office guys have transferred over as well. It has been a bit of a long process but it's coming along nicely. I have not yet moved my office or Debbie and the accounting / invoicing systems so it's been a bit inefficient as the data has to be transferred to the new location to ship (aside from Yard Sale) -- but the goal is to move all this by Monday and have everyone working in the same location…

SA-8s are back in stock. * This run has the new surround tooling. * New spider not implemented yet -- will be available on the November-December run. SA-10 D2 are back in stock. * This run has the magnet boots. * New spacer ring / pole cap will be available on the November-December run.

well, i ordered both my amps earlier this week, and sundown has very fast shipping. Hopefully will have everything hooked up in couple weeks, it will be hard to wait, but i will be working 7 days a week for at least 2 weeks. Pics and new cd player came in also today:

so lastnight, a guy caught up to me that has been looking to flag me down while in my car.. hes a local paint and body guy with a shop.. and he was told i was the loudest around... so he was telling people here in town that he wanted 4 15 and yadda yadda... so i have him a demo..and he jumped out 5 seconds in.... anyway long story short he wants my system in his car.... and im ready to come up... so lets talk about it... i wanna use the same box i have as its not gonna work for him anyway. im 6 cubes internal after port and subs. for 2 15's i want to either step up to the 3500d or the 4500d amp wise... and im wanting a pair of subs that will be a jump up from the n…

so i just bought a new car...its a 98 jetta slammed to the pucking ground haha i wanna do something a bit lighter but still as loud it sucks since i just got done doing my soundstream XXX recone, id love to use the sub minus it weighing 90lbs.....the recone is sick though i had it made from PAP and is a 4000-5000rms recone kit they make a 7-8k one i just didnt need that, i am not to sure how it is on the forums prob the same here as everywhere else but i am seriously interested in trading the XX for 4 sa8's id pay my shipping ud pay urs yes i know you need a picture of the sub with ur name i have a video it doesnt show my name:/ i say it though and the same youtube, but h…

Okay I just put it in my new 5000 and I have two amps... Sundown SAE-1000D and SAX-100.4. Well I have two sets of RCA cables going to the 100.4, one set going from the front preouts on the 5000 to channels 1 and 2, and the other set is going from the rear preouts on the 5000 to channels 3 and 4. For some reason I'm not getting any music out of the rears. I can hear a very faint "tv snow-screen" type of sound coming out when I have my ear up to one of the speakers, but that's it. Anyone know what's going on?

Okay here is my somewhat problem. I have a 3000D with a Bass knob and I am trying to figure out how to get this Gain Knob set right. Now I have my gain set, and everything right on my deck, my thing is when I plug in the Knob do I set it to minimum or Max, or do I set the Gain and deck with the Knob already plugged into the amp? I am trying to get it where I can just turn the knob to turn up the gain instead of the deck, which is a pain in the ass. Because as of right now when I turn up the Knob it reaches it full potential at about half instead of max, so I really cant get it to where I want it with that small of a range. So am I doing this sh*t right or what. Thanks En…

I know u dont recommend to run the SAZ 1500 @.5ohms but if I do do I have enough electrical? I have one deka intimidator (55 a/h) under the hood 2 runs of 0/1 to the back to a data safe (100+ a/h) and 2 105 amp alternators big 3 what do u think?

im adding another 1500 d to my setup and was wondering if i should run more 0gage wire to the back.ive got a 200 amp alt. with a yellow top up front and two batts. in the back.voltage is fine now.lowest at around 13.6 at full volume.ive upgraded my power wire from my alt. to battery and was wondering if i should run a wire from alt. to fuse by amps or add any wire or what to do to get maximum wattage.im running them at 1ohm each and will strap them later one.thanks for ur help guys.

Do you still have the sale on the 50.4 ? Can I take it to power my Focal 165KP? It may be cheaper than the 125.2, so I am interested to buy it instead of the 125.2. Or do you think it's really better to take the 2 channels? (I know I will not be able to have it shipped at $200, but I try, I would love to!!!).

I bought a SAX-100.4 a long time ago and had it installed in my last car for about 1 year, and I had it sitting in my garage since then. I recently hooked it up into my current car and am having a strange problem. I am only running front speakers with a small sub eventually to come. So I ran the speaker cable from the front speakers to Channel 1 and 2. I then plugged Channel 1 and 2 RCA's into the Front Left-Right on my Alpine 9886 HU. When I listen to a song music only comes out the drivers side properly. I try plugging the RCA from Channel 1 into Channel 2 on the amp and no sound. Plug either RCA into channel 1 and sounds on the drivers side. Plug either into Ch…

The remote gain control for the SAZ 1500D. The cable that connects to the amp. Is it special or can I use any cable with RJ11 ends?

Hey jacob my wife lost the original invoice from when i purchased the 100.4, 100.2, 3 3000ds back in january. i was wondering what i could do to get my amp (100.4) warrantied since its still covered. channel number 4 is out straight out of the box. any help would be great. i figured it would be easier to contact u on the forum than by PM since u probably get 9 million emails a day. thanks very much. Name - Richard Veach Lafayette IN 47904 maybe that info will help.

Am looking at the T/S parameters for the SA-12 and noticed that the D2’s RE is listed as 4.33 Ohms when tested in series. From what I’m used to seeing, the RE values are typically less than the advertised impedance rating so the 4.33 feels a bit high for a sub with dual 2 ohm coils. The D4's RE value of 7.09 is right in line with what I'd expect. Could someone please help me understand what’s going on here with the D2? Thanks!

Yes yet again another design is underway! and yes i have switched from 2- 15inch NS v1 to 2-12inch NS v1 here is a first look at the new box! it is a 6th order taped horn! this one will be fun to build for sure! A guy named Jud is designing the box for me as i am useless for designing box's as you can see in my last few posts so i found a professional.. yes i gave up! lol! i also have another idea on tap that i will share later one! so anyways here we go! tell me what you thing and yes subs are revese mounted so the as's end is firing into the cabin!

well here is the first of 2 of the 1500D's i will be having in my possession soon hopefully. But this isnt the first Sundown amp i have i also have the 100.2 which is a badass amp i love it hopefully the 1500D will do some damage lol

Ok i am still tryin to get the math down and figure out what would be the best overall enclosure . I want a wide range of response and to be loud as well. I know going with a high tune will most likely produce high spl levels but this is not a competion box. I am not interested in serious sq but want it to be musical and not really peaky I have some box specs and would like some help in deciding if the box will work for what i want width- 47in height- 21in depth-14in port width-3.5 port lenght1-9.75 port lenght2-3 port area -68 volume 5.6cubes tuned 35htz

This is a Nightshade w/ cooling and 50mm WW 8-layer coil with a prototype cone we are testing. Coil is Dual-1 configuration. It includes the latest bolted down spider upgrade and utilizes a 3-layer spider. $400 for this prototype, shipped in continental 48 - there is only one like it right now.

My channel #2 isn't working on my amp. I get very little sound and it's very distorted. I checked all the RCA and speaker connections on the amp and behind the headunit, I checked the fuses, I tried switching speakers, I tried unhooking my SAE-1000D, I tried switching polarity, nothing worked. Any idea what could be wrong? I took the amp out of the car. Should I look for anything inside the amp?
