Sundown Audio

  1. Started by aleister2k,

    Ok, so I just got a new 3000d and a 100.4. My HU only had front/rear, no sub pre-amp output. Question is, if I wire the front/rear to the 100.4, if i Use the channel 1/2 output to the 3000d, will I lose my ability to use the hp/lp settings on 1 and 2 or if I do use the hp/lp will it still send a full signal through the 1/2 output? Sorry if I am not being very clear.. front / rear from head unit into 1/2 and 3/4 of the 100.4 1/2 output to 1 on 3000d will using filter controls on 100.4 impact frequency output on 1/2 output channels?

    I'm new to Sundown equipment, and haven't owned any before. I've read so many wonderful reviews and posts by Jacob, I'm confident that the product will exceed my expectations. However, I have concerns that this will be *too big* (if that's possible). I'm considering the SAX-100.4 for my daily driver (with future uses in mind, of course). This would run my entire system, stereo for front component set (probably high-passed @ 80-100hz), and bridged rear to the sub (low-passed @ 80-100hz). The sub I have probably would hit max excursion before full output of this amp, so gain would probably be set low on the bridged channel, and low on the fronts to match. My prior exp…

    Is there an easy way to make one of the wired remotes into a master volume control for all of my 100.2s? My HU doesn't have a knob. I like knobs.

    Ordered my other SAZ-1000D today Will probably be here Wednesday, so I will install it Wednesday. The question still remains, strapped at 2ohm? Or separate operation at 1ohm each. I understand strapping is less efficient, but that's ok. How about some options on sound, output, and heat build up.

  15. i've tried 2 boxes, and i've yet to get "there" the first box sounds absolutley amazing, goes really deep. only complaint, it sounds like its hitting the spider maybe?(what i was told) certain bass notes make a metal-to metal sqeaking sound. (defintaly from inside the box, not a car/hatch rattle) 34 to 39hz sounds great, exactly how i loved it specs on box"(26x12x18) .7cu ft behind sub, 44" long port (11sq in. port area) next box: .3cu ft behind sub, 48" long port (10sq in port area) this box allowed the volume to go further before; the bass was a lot tighter, and hit harder; but again, making a metal-to metal clipping/sqeaking sound. it was a tigher, higher hz sounding b…

    I miss calculated on my port and I am tuned to 29Hz instead of 32Hz. My box is ~5.3 cubes after displacements, I have 20.5'' of port (13.5'' in the box and 7'' out). I am going to cut the port down at the top. Will I notice an audiable change? I mostly play decafs chopped/screwed songs and I dont think they dip under 30hz, if they do its only breifly. Is 29 too low for a nightshade? Its ran off an AQ2200 @ 1 ohm

    I had decided to go with another set of 18s and swap amps too. But, I really would like to get alot of my room back. So, I will sale my bl 18's and keep both sundown saz 1500d's. I would like to change to either 2 12" nightshades or 1 12 or 15" with both amps strapped on 1. I have 20 cube box now, so anything smaller I will get alot of room back. Any suggestions on those above or possibly Z15?
