Sundown Audio

  1. Started by Angelboy863,

    I ordered two shirts from Derrick. (sundown audio, purple) almost 3 weeks ago. I paid with a usps money order i have the receipt. i mailed it on a friday (nov. 11th) derrick and i emailed, he said he can have the shirt to me within 3 days receiving payment.. that was the last email i received from him which was almost 2 weeks ago. i havent received my shirts yet and i emailed him to ask if hes received my money order and he hasnt emailed me back. i understand it was just thanksgiving and black friday but i just would like to know whats going on and if my money was received and if im getting my shirts. has anyone else had trouble ordering shirts?

    Will they run on a 16 volt setup? I know that there would be no warranty but have to ask.

    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 just got me a nice pair of twins! i tested them in my vehicle while at the store, (no RCAs and speakers connected, used my relay) and they 'restarted' like normal.. (which further hints that there was a problem with the 3000D..) anyway, i can't wait to get these connected.. and i just can't stop staring at them..

    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 …

    The ssa store lists the sa-12 requiring 1week build time, so if I order 2 in the next couple weeks I won't have to wait a few months for them? Only reason I ask is I saw several other sundown resellers showing them out of stock and what not. Thanks

    I finally got this box built and a chance to test this speaker out. It is replacing 2 15" polkmomo drivers on a crunch amp. The box is roughly the same size as the other but this one lets the seat lock into the up position. It is about 3.25 ft3 at 35hz. There is no bracing or 45's in the corners. Its facing up right now as I find a place for the amp(s). But it sounds better forward. I know its a little ghetto but Ive just recently started building my own stuff. As you can see it is hooked up to the SAX125.2. It is bridged at 4 ohm so its only about 450 watts. Gain up halfway and it still rocks. This driver sounds very nice. This driver is of high quality and great sound.…

  19. Started by master_jbb3,

    Ok I was planning on strapping 2 saz 1500's to get around 3k watts out of the two. Around this time I was planning on using a full loaded Fi btl 18; but now I've decided I want to run a TC sounds LMS 5400 18. This is the probably being that the lms 5400 is a dual 2 sub which mean .5 ohm which is a NO NO for 2 saz 1500 strapped. Idk what to do. I've considered running 1 amp per VC but I know that if I don't have my setting right for both amps I could really mess some shit up lol. Should I just run 1 per VC or should I sell the amps and buy the Saz 3000? I know the easiest choice would be sell them for the 3k but I would rather run 2 amps then 1 amp. SHIT! lol

    Hey Guys. It has been a while since I posted on here. I finally have both of my Sundown Nightshade 15's and new enclosure in and we did some vids of the Kia in action. As soon as my buddy gets them downloaded, I will post them on here for you guys. All I can say is that everybody was impressed with how this thing hammers on only 4,000 watts. The flex is just crazy and it has no problem at all playing in the 20 hz range. I hope to have them posted by tomorrow sometime.

  23. I think I already know the answer to this question, but I have to ask just to be 100% sure. Does the SAX 100.4 have balanced differential input? I got a new car, and I don't want to mess with the factory HU - which outputs balanced differential. So, I need an amp that can handle this, or build/buy a converter. I have a SAX 100.4, so if this won't work, what brands DO accept this type of input? So far, I've found the JL Audio and Rockford both have amps with this input. Any others? Anyone have any luck interfacing with the HU on a 1st gen Acura TSX?

    Here's a couple vids of Team Outcast - Ms Cookie doing some Bass Boxing in the Crx with four Sundown Audio sa-12s. Those subs were beating hard. 1st round totally sealed 2nd round driver's door open For those that don't know Bass Boxing consists of three rounds playing music for 30 seconds each time. 1st round sealed, 2nd round driver's door open, 3rd round both front door's open. Then average the three scores.
