    I see that the 1500D have 2 sets of speaker outputs. So the easiest way is to get dual 2 ohm, hook it up in parallel, then the internal are bridge for a final 1 ohm load. What if I were to go with dual 1 ohm (1 sub) wire it in series = 2 ohm, then bridge the connection to the amp, will i get a final load of 1 ohm? I can't tell from the manual if the external outputs are bridgeable. Please confirm. Thanks!

    Well i have recently sold off everything out of my daily driver to fund a new build in a different car. I also am working on a budget install in my daily driver to replace everything that has been removed and sold off. Im looking for a pair of clean sounding 6.5" componets w/ some nice out put for under 200 bucks shipped. Power will be coming from a 100.2 passive until the 50.4 comes out then they will be active. Thanks Corey

    In case anyone sent me an important e-mail last night... I didn't get it. I had 1350 spam e-mail this morning and went through and deleted them... I did not find a single valid e-mail out of all of that, so I suspect maybe I deleted something important. So... re-send anything important that you sent me last night =)

    I got first place in my class at a small local show with 3 RE SX 15" tuned to the low 30's and two sundown 1500's. My score was 147.2 playing a test tone sweep since I dont know my peak freq. We didnt even know about the show, and was actually headed to my family reunion when I saw guys getting metered outside of a car audio shop. I could get better numbers with a box tuned higher, but my setup is for LSQ, and I really like the SQ of my current setup. with some tweeking, I believe I can get 150db with my box, but I still havent had a chance to tweek my system with a mic. The SAZ 1500 is a badass amp that allows for a lot of flexiblity with installation.... I cant wait t…

    Well, my TL finally came back so put the truck on the meter... my head hurts even with ear plugs AND hearing protective head phones on. First go @ the TL after finding the peak of 48 hz: Legal mic position too: Take a look at my collection of Powermaster D3100s, seven at this time: Used to power four SAZ-3000Ds: Dual Powermaster alternators for the win: While taking that last pic I realized that I forgot to tighten the ground on the top alternator... so I did so and run the truck again: ---- Not too bad! Now... it's time to get tweaking

  11. I entered my Passport in a small sound-off at Hooters today. I'm running 4 Elemental Design 13kv2 in a sealed downfire box off 2 sae-1000d strapped at 2 ohms. It only hit a 143.2 with a termlab mic, but considering the flex that a Passport has, and the intense heat out there, I can't complain too much. No one did anything spectacular. I think the highest reading was a 149.3 in a higher class than me. BTW, I have never built a stereo for competition purposes (including this one) and this was my first time to ever enter into a competition, so I was pretty stoked about it.

    Jacob, any chance of us seeing Sundown home audio amps in the future? I know you make some great bang for the buck car audio amps and I'd love to see that carried over to the home audio side of things.

    SAE-1500D Prototype - $200 shipped in the continental USA SOLD to fuzzyping! The heatsink on the prototype is not the heatsink that will be used for production and is one of two prototypes made in this case. This prototype does not make full rated power, but is good for around 1000 watts RMS @ 12.8 volts / 1200 watts RMS @ 14.4 volts into a 1 ohm load per my testing. The next revision of this prototype is under construction and will address the low power output as production models will easily meet their 1500 watt rating @ 13.8 volts (as all SAE amps are to be rated). This unit has 4 awg input terminals and 3x 40 amp fuses. ------ Unnamed Prototype - $250 shipped in the…
