    I have 2 sd1v2 10", not sure how to connect the wires on this diagram above. Do I solder, crimp, or something? It shows to hook a wire + to + and -to- but do I have to put two wires in one sub terminal? http://www.jbl.com/car/product_support/Sub...aspx?type=2-4-1

    I just wanted to say thank you Jacob for your exceptional customer service and especially for what you did for me on Friday. I was not expecting that at all. I will always remember that. You have a customer for life my friend. I cannot wait to see the new shop once everything is in place.

    i am going to be running 2 12" Q's w/ bp power off of a sundown 2000 that i have preordered. i also plan on ordering a 100.4 sundown amp also for my 6.5" and 6x9's. i was looking at the knukonceptz dual amp 0 gauge wiring kit. what size inline fuse would i want and also the 2 fuses on the distribution block? also for the rca cables there are options for 4ch and 2ch. i am not sure of what i would need exactly. sorry for all the questions, i just want to try to get everything right the first time. thank you in advance.

    Hi guys I was wondering, does this sub have only one type/version that you (Sundown) sell, or are their options for the sub itself that can be upgrade, changed etc. ?? I know the Fi BTL has loaded options and things like that. Also other subs can be ordered with copper or aluminum coils. But is there only one type made in an 18" size that is sold without less/added features ?

    I am getting ready to buy the sundown 100.4 amp and I have never done this before, but really want to try it. I am going to run the tweets of two channels and the mids off the other two channels. How do I set up the crossovers to do this? I know this may be a dumb question but I have always had external crossover's and want to run this way. Please help.

    So, I got my second 1000D in today. I took it straight to the truck. Hooked it up, I had them ran strapped at 2 ohm. The woofers are D2's, which were ran in parallel in the box then ran in series out side the box, bringing the total to 2 ohm. I only use the left side of the speaker connectors next to the 8awg. It worked fine, sounded good, was loud and voltage was fine. I THEN, tried to re-wire the subs. I wired them in series in the box, so each woofer went up to 4ohm, I then ran each one to the amps. I thought that it would end up bringing the ohm load to 2 ohm, so each amp would see 1ohm. When ran like this, they weren't as loud and voltage DROPPED. Horribly I wired …

    In response to the current economic situation we are lowering our MAP pricing. Cost for our amps from an authorized dealer outside of a pre-order or special sale have changed as follows : SAZ-1000D : $355 OLD / $315 NEW SAZ-1500D : $570 OLD / $500 NEW SAZ-2000D : $670 OLD / $615 NEW SAX-125.2 : $255 OLD / $240 NEW SAX-100.4 : $395 OLD / $365 NEW The prices listed under "NEW" are now available at any authorized Sundown dealer. I sent out a dealer news-letter this morning, so if your dealer has any questions have them call me.

Its def one of the larger drivers i have seen 1st hand. It'll be going in a box slightly under 4cuft tuned to 40hz for spl off a SAZ 1500D. Ill follow up with a review in the following days. Here are a couple pics i took right out of the box. Again thanks Jacob.

    ok, i read the tutorial on strapping 2 saz-1500ds, and know about the other wiring and to use the br out on master to br in on slave. I am ordering my other 1500d next monday, and was wondering what rca's people use for the br in and out. Its just a single rca, and i have looked around several local places and they have nothing. Could i just buy some cheap rca's and seperate them? Thanks

  20. I have the original motors and I wanted to know a few things about these puppies. 1) Are the new motors deeper (or any different at all?) allowing the coil more travel or are they close to the original E8, as I've bottomed these out and cause several mechanical failures (I will take this into consideration when I build my next box, 8-16 will be powered by a single 3000D, re-enforce the spiders, ect., design the box to prevent bottoming out, i always set subsonic, but love low extension and will likely be tuning low) 2) The spiders are wider, about all I know, are they stiffer? 3) Is the surround built to handle more travel, is it stiffer? 4) If you happen to have the spec…
