Sundown Audio

Alright guys need some help here, since my car is in the shop and there working on the front im allowed to work with the stereo. Now i have 1 run of o gauge power wire from my front bat to the back to bats and i ahve a 200 amp alt should i add another run or two or is one run fine? just kinda wondering and i got 0 gauge jsut sitting aorund i need to use lol

just curious on what these amps weigh. 3000d & 100.4 trying to get everything totally figured out on the system and the car as far as if the rear will need to be lowered to get the stance i want along with the front or just the front alone with all the weight going in the back. thanks in advance Chris

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.

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 =)

Sundown SAZ-1500 on a single DD 3518.........

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…

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...OX:NEWLIST#LIST I requested that this seller list 100 pieces for me as I buy stuff from them all the time... they put 10 lots up for sale So grab em' while you can. I've used about 20 of em' so far in my truck build

Hey guys, I'm new here.....thought I would come ask the experts. Well I recently purchased a barely used 1500D. Previously I ran an mrd-m501 for about 2 years to 2 12" R's, then I swapped it out for the saz, running it at 2 ohms. alls I did was swap the wires. the 1500D worked flawlessly for about 2 weeks, then all of a sudden today it got protection happy. my electrical is stock 105amp alt. stock batt. with 4 gauge wiring. It was fairly hot today, +35*C......so when it kicked into protection the 1st time I pulled over, checked the connections, turned it back on and it worked. the 2nd time it kicked into protect it wouldnt go back on I turned everything off except the a…

Well few of you know the tranny went in the buick that i planned on walling off w/ a pair of 3518's. Well i deside to start looking for a 88-98 silverado or siera to do a cut thro on. Well yesterday i ordered my second set of Digital Designs 3518's. The new system plans go as followed. Head Unit : Panasonic CQ-VD7003U w/ Panasonic CA-DC300U Ipod Adapter and 2GB Ipod Nano Sound Processors : Audio Control Three.1 Subwoofer : Digital Designs 3518's x4 Subwoofer Amplifier : Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D x4 (each pair strapped @ 1) Subwoofer Enclosure : 28ft^3 @ 35hz Wall Mids : Seas CD18RE-MDS H1426-04 x12 Highs : DLS Iridium x4 Mids and Highs Amplifier : Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 x2…

I'm planning on purchasing the SAZ-3000D for my Nissan Sentra and would like to upgrade my alternator. What size alternator would you recommend?

finally got the front stage all setup, and painted and fiberglassed. Time to start building for the bass now.

Can we expect the Nightshade to be similar to a BTL? Meaning they will excel in the same application?

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.

hi, i have a opportinty to get 2 12w7 ( svc 3 ohm) for cheap ( 500 for both) and i am looking at an amp for them before i get it and i would like to stick with 1 amp for price and i am wondering what does the saz1500d do at 1.5 ohms and also i have a 200 amp alternator. hc1400 under the hood and a hc2400 in the trunk and it is all connected by 1/0 guage wire and the other amps i am going to have 2 eclipse xa4000 amps to give you an idea of the power for the amp. i might add another hc2400 if i can get a good deal on it,

Fi+Sundown+Astro=Unhappy Astro.. Teaser vids.. Van is a little dirty. Just got it playing at 10:30 last night.

so im trying to decide wether i should buy a sundowns amp or a kicker amp. Ive heard a lot of people saying that sundowns sucks and their amps are for little girls. I dont know what to believe, ive looked on the internet and seen some bench tests showing sundowns 1500 watt amps being able to do 3423 watts @ .5 ohms. That seems a little unrealistic, I need the most wattage possible, and if sundowns amps are terrific then im sure I will become a sundowns fan boi and become in love with all other sundowns owners.

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…

Well guys, after getting haggled so bad at the last FX comp, I decided I needed to do something different for this comp. A 140 is not sufficient for 2 12's and 2 1500D's. I had 3 issues I needed to fix... 1. I was running a single run of 4 ga for 2 1500D's...Obviously a HUGE bottleneck on the amps. Now have a run of 1/0 per 1500D. 2. I had a prefab box which we tossed in the Cavi trunk to hold us out for the day...chit box, will have a newly designed box for this one, maybe a version of "CRX style". 3. For some reason the final load on the subs last time was 3.5 ohms (dual 2 subs). We didnt have time to check it, so we put it in a let it go. Discovered that one of th…

im lookin to buy either on of these amps for a 15 or 18 inch Fi BL, and was wondering which of these amps is easier on the charging system with only big3 upgrade?? i have a 105amp stock alt with stock battery, but i will have 1 yellow top and 1 or 2 red tops soon thanks

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsundownz Freshly listed: 4x 1500Ds (used) -- buy it now $400 + shipping or try bidding starting at $350 1x SAX-1004 (refurbished) -- buy it now for $275 + shipping or try bidding starting at $225 Thought I would give the forum a heads up on the new listings Just put them up a few minutes ago. All five of the above will come with a 1-year warranty. (They may take a few minutes to show up if you are looking at this immediately after my posting it)

Just wondering what the cut out is for the 12" sd-1? I'm not too familiar with making holes for subs so I don't know if there is a pretty much close to standard size or if theres a specific size I need. I was also gonna try to make it with a double baffle to try to have that flush mount look. I would probably need the outside diameter of the speaker also. As I type this I'm in the process of building the box. I'm realizing I'm not that great at cutting wood. Some of the pieces are mm longer or shorter than others. It's too hard to get perfect cuts with no experience in wood working. Honestly I'm not to confident in the box. Should I put maybe silicon or somethin…

i have an osciliscope that my dad is letting me use, i want to see my wave forms to make sure i am not getting any square waves to make sure i am not clipping.. everytime i set it up once i turn the volume up its makes a pop noise from the speakers and doesnt read nothing.. how i hooked it up: sub was hooked up on all the tries 1st hooked up to pos(+) and neg(-) on the amp sub out 2nd try hooked up just the pos(+) on the amp sub out 3rd try hooked up pos to the pos(+) on the amp, and neg (-) to chassis ground all got the same result only showed a wave form at low volume in voltage mode cant find out how to get to hz screen shows +14v to -14v my guess was that the outp…

Any pics or specs of a prototype yet?Will this have the same crossover section as the 100.4?If it does I will deff purchase one,as the 100.4 is a little too big for my mounting space.

So... I'm finally going to have a running vehicle with a system. It's been about 8 months since I've had a system in a running vehicle, pretty sad all things considered! But... it is coming along nicely and some photos of the progress are attached. *Under-Hood Wiring w/ Knukonceptz KLM 1/0 battery to chassis and battery to engine block grounds. Generic "0 gauge" wire through generic ANL fuse holder. The red generic 0 gauge is about the size of 2 gauge quality wire and is plenty for this install. All ring terminals are soldered... and yes, that is a much larger battery than stock. * Roughly 2 cubes tuned to ~32 Hz thanks to Rich (stratusrt01). This houses 2x Sundown SD-1…
