Sundown Audio

  1. Ok, got my 3000d today. Wired it to 1/2 ohm, and it just doesn't seem to be putting out power. i had the gain set at about 1/2 and it just seems like it's not puttin out the power. voltage read 14.53 and amp read exactly 0.5ohms. Also, when i turn it up to where i normally listen to it at the subs start cuttin in and out so i turned the gain down more and also turned the sub control down to like 5/15 and it still does it. Voltage barely drops, and it's really not loud AT ALL. what could be the problem?? Also, the amp never went in to protect or anything, i'm stumped...

    I have a 100.2 running Rainbow SLC265 comps and the amp run hot. Is it supposed to? I have gains all the way down, bass boost off and the Rainbows are very loud so I don't play them that loud often and yet the amp is pretty hot to the touch after 10-15 minutes. I was a little bummed to find the crossover only goes down to 75hz I also have the 1000D pushing my TC-OEM10 at 2ohms and wow, I can barely hear the sub (unless volume jacked up). The OEM really needs power I guess. I have the gains turned all the way up and it delivers what I was hoping for. Is that bad? Right now my comps are just wailing away and my sub can't keep up it's end. I'm just a little surprised that 6…

    Ordered the 2nd SD to run strapped and power an HD315, but I picked up another HD for CHEAP. Sat on it for a week and decided I needed to fit them both in the trunk of my Altima. Install wasn't as extreme as I thought it would be and came out pretty nicely. Only vibration/rattle left to fix is the rearview mirror. Filled it with Great Stuff, but now the metal arms are squeaking. Otherwise car has over 150#'s of deadener. Here's the "dirty" side of the install. Box is painted white and I planned on leaving it ugly, but it got pretty scuffed up during the install and I had some scraps of black carpet, so I covered most of it. Amps are strapped @1.5ohms and power 2 HD315's…

    this is supposed to be a top of the line amp and im so unsatisfied right now. well of course it hits really hard and most likely has the ability to kill my subs but still for being a top of the line amp it has a problem. like i honestly thought since it was described by so meny to be the best, i thought it would not have any problems. The amp works fine i know but thats not what im pissed about... MY BASS KNOB LED DONT WORK!!! like come on mr fuller. jesus... haha im just kidding, great product, and i was just wondering if the led on the remote was a common problem.

    I should be able to wire up my 100.2 to the RL-i8 DVC 4 in the next few days, and I just wanted to make sure I understand all of my options. When I was talking to denim about the 100.2, I think he mentioned that I could bridge it and then wire the RL-i8 in series at 8 ohm. He says the 100.2 pushes out more than it's rated for (500W bridged?). Even at 8 ohms, 250W should be enough to drive the sub for daily SQ use. Unless I'm mistaken, shouldn't I also be able to wire it in parallel at 2 ohms for the full 400-500W? I would just as soon leave it in series and let the amp run cooler, providing it can push the sub adequately, but I wouldn't mind trying the higher output j…

    Sundown Audio has been selling off used, b-stock, and refurbished amplifiers as well as other miscellaneous items that need to be sold on e-bay for the last two weeks. So far it has been off to a promising start. If you want to see what is up for sale at any given time check auctions from "sundownz" on e-bay: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsundownzQQhtZ-1 Usually it will be various amplifiers... occasionally other items will be for sale that either belong to me or were somehow acquired by Sundown Audio.

    Just bought an saz-1500d off ebay, and I am anxiously awaiting it, as I have heard many good things. I'll be replacing a Audiobahn a3201t that I've had for 3 yrs, pushing 4 mtx thunder 5500 10's. One question though.. will it have full manuf warranty since it's been refurbed by factory, or not? Thanks

    Sometimes it pays to have an insomniac working for you huh? Christy will carpet it in the morning, and I'll see about possibly bringing it up to you. Paint was still a little wet, so it looks splotchy, but it's not like that in person.

    Hey guys I recently found out about sundown audio and everything I read so far is most impressive I was wondering if any of you do active competitions with the Sundown amps. I am in he market for new amps and I need serious power because my 2 15"s will handle 6000+ watts easy for burps a piece and finding amps is not as easy as one would think. I am trying to get a better picture of the capabilities of these amps. please inform me Thanks Phil
