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…

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…

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…

The market seems to be apprehensive about adopting a small and efficient SQ speaker, seems that most consumers are interested in putting huge power into woofers these days So... the SD-1 model is being closed out and discontinued due to sluggish sales. They will still carry full warranty as I will hold onto some of them for warranty replacements: http://www.sundownaudio.com/ppsd10.html -- 10" Model Information http://www.sundownaudio.com/ppsd12.html -- 12" Model Information These subs actually perform very well but have really been slow sellers... see some first hand reviews here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=9883 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio…

I am looking for an amp that is 80-90watts at 8 ohms. Will any of the new amps coming out be able to put this out or am I basically stuck with a 100.4 bridged with gains down?

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.

Will there be a future for these or coaxials?

Well I had all of my equipment just sitting at my house so I asked my buddy Cooper if I could put it in his explorer for our competition on saturday since it won't fit in my Grand AM. The whole system was put in starting at 11:00 PM friday, and this is what we got. Three Memphis Mojo 15's Three Sundown SAZ 1500D's Box 12ft^3 @ ~ 31hz With no testing we did a 149.8 TL and took 3rd place Here are some vids Mojo Flex Mojo Excursion In the second vid. the mojo in the middle broke off some of its screws right in the begining of the vid, so no it is not box flex

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

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…

At this time these are just known as the "X10 and X12" speakers. The photos are of the first prototypes. I am already working on revising the prototypes with several important improvements. These are geared towards "daily beating" and are made to be used as a pair with either an SAE-1000D or SAZ-1500D. Sound quality is good, but output at moderate power levels is the number one goal. * Basket with extremely long clearances. The motor also has enough clearance to travel over 33mm rearward before bottoming out, this is well beyond linear coil travel limits. * Vented pole and vented gap for increased power handling. * The cone is a fiberglass weave with paper composite ba…

so i got this 1500d and i have someone who wants to buy it this weekend, what im trying to decide is will the 3000d at 1 ohm be better on my electrical system than 2 1500s strapped @ 2 ohms. its either sell this 1500 and get a 3000, or get another 1500 and strap. if anyone has ran both and could let me know their opinions i'd appreciate it.

Well i'm offically a sundown dealer. I have 3 3000D and a 100.4 on the way to me. Here is the layout for the system. SUV: 1999 Burban Head unit: Pioneer 7800 Front stage: Polk Audio SR6500 Rears: Rockford 6.5 coax Front and rear amp: Sundown Audio 100.4 Subwoofers: 3 Fully Loaded Fi BTL 18's Subwoofers amps: 3 Sundown 3000D's Power: High output Alternator, 2 Kinetik 1800's up front and 5 Kinetik 2400 outback. Enclouser: Wall with Fiberglass front paint the same color of Suv, ported and tune to around 35 hz.

Hooked up the 1500D today after it has been sitting for about 2 months and now it keeps blowing all the car's fuses. Putting it in a late 90's Tahoe which originally had a 1,000watt amp hooked up that ran without any problems. Now after hooking the 1500D we've already been through 2 fuses so far and are unsure on how to fix it. All help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Ok guys, well im doing an install update on wends in which im adding a kinetik 2400, 1800, replacing some crappy rcas with nice knu krystals, adding a 1/0 negative run between kinetiks, adding more power wire etc, adding 880 prs to replace my crappy alpine, and last adding the second sae-1000D proto for substage. anyways. i want to create an amp rack that provide the proper airflow that the amps need to allow them to cool and breathe. and im tossing around how i will design it. but it will house my 2 sub amps, the 1000's. I want to put the amp rack on the back of my box, that is 40" long, but i want to keep the amp rack to around 32 - 33" so it fits between my trunk braci…

alrgiht guys need some help i had 4 hc2400 battery going in the car. well a customer came in a bought all 4 for $350 a piece will two yellow tops support both the 2 sundown 3000ds until i can get 4 hc2400s again. i get them now but there out of stock.

Been working on an install for a guy and finally got to his front stage tonight. AA poly mids & CAL25 tweets running active off a 100.4 I spent about 5 minutes figuring out the dials, etc... and did a "best guess" for initial settings, then played some test tones to dial it in. I was SO close from the start and it only took about 30 minutes to get it all set up and sounding good. VERY nice amp for running active!!! Can't wait to strap the 1500D's to his sub tomorrow...

I will start a worklog on tuesday once all the parts come. still waiting on the components. Team members and jacob tell me what think and any other opinons are welcome along with ideas

So... stuff was piling up again. I found more b-stocks, more used 1500Ds are coming back from Team members, and some refurbished amps are popping up here and there as well: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsundownzQQhtZ-1 B-Stock, Used, and Refurbished amps do come with a warranty but it is reduced compared to a brand new unit from a dealer: Used / B-Stock = 1-year warranty Refurbished = 90-day warranty All amps listed for sale on e-bay are tested thoroughly on my bench here before leaving.

Finally after almost a year in the making, here is a clip of my setup in action. The port is in the middle so be aware there is noise in the video from all the air these 10's push out. The camera doesn't really pick up all the excursion very well either.

This was me when i hooked up and started messin around Very nice amp! i got it wired to 1/2 ohm and it *sounds* so much louder then when i had the 2 1500's on em. Can't wait to get this on the mic! Thanks Jacob!

I remember that the 1500D went on sale, just wondering when/if the 3000D will. If so what would the price be? Heh, thanks.

Well I am in love with my audio setup which consists of a 1500, 100.2, fi 18" Q, and CDT special editions up front. I have only burped her a few times around 3/4 volume and have never had any issues. Today I was playing the system about 2/3 and noticed that I started having voltage drop pretty bad but before I never had any electrical issues, my guess here is that the battery is struggling now with the demand (brand new red top). I have all 0 gauge wiring up to a dist. block with 2 foot runs of 4 gauge. I do not have the big 3 done yet and is on my to do list which brings me to my question: What else can I do besides the big three that isnt over the top for this setup? I …

well i bought my sundown 100.4 off of ebay as a refurb, and i must say this amp is amazing, the crosovers sound great, and my RE components sound awesome on it shipped fast as hell, and nicely packed. only 1 problem... i fudgeed up and put my sitcker on my truck crooked lmao how much for a new one Jake? i will have some pics up in a few im gonna charge my camera

Jake, I'm looking at my new amps (Thanks BTW!), and I was thinking how sexy it would be to have some bridge pieces so that when installed they look like one HUGE amp. Would this be a possibility? Thanks! Ron
