With the sa 6.5 components how much rms can they take?

Hey Guys, Just wondering, how do you know if you are clipping your amp? I thought it was if your voltage drops to low. If it does have something to do about voltage, where can you get the electronic volt meters I've seen in ppl's car?

I see this sub is highly recommended everywhere. where can i see the specs?

2 stetsom 7kd 2 Sundown 12 inch nightshades 155.0 dbs at 63hz. Direct street B setup, car off, one 6 cell battery. And if someone pm me explaining how to download pictures, I could put the termpro number up!!! Nightshade baby!!! NUFF SAID!!!!! Ray

Alright, not sure if jacob remembers but I bought a used 1500D off a guy named Rob E and it started blowing fuses everytime the amp would turn on...........and now, surprisingly im having the same problem. Amp ran just fine for almost a year then all of a sudden it just cut out during a song. I've been using gold plated 80 amp agu the whole time..... So anyway when I sent the 1st one in, I got a brand new unit back just hoping I can still send it in for repairs in a couple weeks as I dont have much extra cash for shipping at the moment. just to clear things up......amp was being ran at 2ohms to 2 old type r 12's sealed with 4 awg wire.....all connections were solid includ…

Hey guys! Well, I finally built a box on my own. it is not pretty, but then pretty doesn't always add db's. It is 4.13 cubes before displacement and 3. something after displacement. I still have a lot to do inside the box, but it did quite well without any improvements done to it yet. In initial testing, I was able to do 149.19db and at the show I did 149.2. I could probably do better with fully charged batteries. Not too bad for a small box. I have some pics. Tell me what you think.

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…

Hello I recently purchased a saz2500 and 6 e8 v2 subs. The final project will be 12 e8's. I have a silverado crew cab and i made a box 2.4 cf @ 30 hz with a 4" inch round port. And all subs are in same box with no divisions. port measurement that i got from online calculator it told me that that was the measurement needed to tune to 30hz it was 14 long x 4 round pvc. Gain on 2500 is about 1/2 and settings on amp are all the 1/2 on bass booster and sub spnic filter set to: 20hz and lpf set to: 36hz My problem is this it sounds bad on most songs. I can hear subs slaping. And it looks like they maxin out on excursion. But they dont seam loud. And for some songs like ba…

For the love of all the trunk cars!! been doing some testing and I am sure that people would love to know exactly what you can do with 1500 clamped watts in a trunk car!! all the equipment is in the trunk and total clamped power is 1440watts for a score of 148.11db!!enjoy the video!!

I plan on running 2 15 Sundown Nightshades on a Sundown 3500 getting ready to build me a new enclosure and was wondering what the key was to be able to pull bad *** hair tricks and if its even possible with 2 15s. The set up will be subs up port back in a 2 door blazer. I heard that port are was the key. Figured I would have 105 in of port area tuned at 36hz. All suggestions are welcome.

Hello Every Body, I already spoke to Jake about this and I asked him not to mention it until I was ready. But here it is. I finally....finally....FINALLY....got to test two SAZ3000D's in a dbDrag street A application. Now this is kinda crazy but here it goes. I first tested one amp at 0.25ohm by itself. The results were 71.3 amps, 52.1 volts gave 3714.73 watts with a box rise of 0.73ohms. The amp continued to go into protect after 2 seconds into the rolled up burp. I then tested the amps at 1 ohm the results amps: 38.5 volts: 78.3 watts: 3014.55 box rise of 2.03 Second amp gave 2939 watts with same box rise. I then tested the two amps strapped at 1 ohm(each amp sees 0.5o…

Promised I would show some pictures... we got some of our SA shipment yesterday (8s, 10s, 12s, E8s) and it showed up in a nice container with no pallets. So we had alot of fun unloading * First thing we saw - exciting, right ? * Does it end ?! * My view from inside... I was in the container the whole time tossing boxes to the other guys * Expanding dramatically when it came out of the container *laughs* Had to stand back this far to get them all in the picture. We shipped all the E8 v.2 pre-orders today and SA-15 pre-orders will start going out on Monday. DO NOT e-mail me asking when your specific SA-15 order will go out -- the answer is as soon as we possibly can sh…

ok i have 2 nightshade V2 D1s and as far as i can remember my coils always sat at pretty much even 1 with a variance of .1 or so ... so in series they would be at 2 ohms per sub... then of course paralleled to 1 ohm at the amp ... well today i was out testing some new songs.. and my subs never get hot .. but today i heated them.. and when i was done playing i checked my temperature of the dust caps and they were both pretty hot.. 1 being hotter then the other... no problem the shades are beast they can take a little heat... so after that i went to the store, then on the way home i played my stereo again .. but it was not as loud... first thought shit.. i burned …

Any chance of a sundown 5k or bigger in the future????

any one know what i should set my saz-3000D for at 1.5 ohm's? or just set it for a 2 ohm load?

I want to know how the new nightshades are performing for you, I'm about to order a pair. Could you give me sort of a review of them? overall loudness, sound q, and power handling. thanks

This is the specs for the box. The main part is built Im finishing the rest when it can be done. AS it can be done. Whats left is cutting out the holes for the subs, and cutting out the hole for the port to go in. tuning is right at 35HZ with 2 Cubes of port! THIS IS THE BOX IM USING CURRENTLY...INSIDE THE NEW BOX!!! nice This is funny because the current box at .6 cubes seems WAY louder than my friends (2) MTX 12's in 4th order slotted band-pass. Some kinda of pre-fab looking box that I don think was pre-fabricated.

Ok I've been having trouble with my amp shutting off and on when I would have a song with deep bass or I would turn my bass remote up with a song with less bass. I knew it was an electrical issue with my battery so I got it recharged when the system wouldn't come on (This was after about 8 months of play). My system played fine no problem after the battery was charged. So I got in the next day and b4 i could turn my radio up (The radio was only at 6 at the time) the bass came on and then it cut off and never came on. So I checked the amp to see if the red protection light was on. It wasn't only the green light was on. So I figured it was the battery again but I question t…

I just want to make sure I have this right. right now I have (2) 4-ohm 10's in my doors ( one 10" in each door). one 10 on channel three and one on channel 4. (channels one and two are occupied by my tweeters and horns and I'm good there). now, I want to replace them with two sundown neo-pro 10's which are 8ohm. am I correct in thinking that I can wire them together down to 4ohm and then bridge them on channels 3 and 4 to get the most power out of my 100.4? how much rms will that amp produce to those channels in that configuration? Thanks guys

So... I'm finally going to have a running vehicle with a system. It's been about 8 months since I've had a system in a running vehicle, pretty sad all things considered! But... it is coming along nicely and some photos of the progress are attached. *Under-Hood Wiring w/ Knukonceptz KLM 1/0 battery to chassis and battery to engine block grounds. Generic "0 gauge" wire through generic ANL fuse holder. The red generic 0 gauge is about the size of 2 gauge quality wire and is plenty for this install. All ring terminals are soldered... and yes, that is a much larger battery than stock. * Roughly 2 cubes tuned to ~32 Hz thanks to Rich (stratusrt01). This houses 2x Sundown SD-1…

well i just got my e8 today and when i opened up the package, I found that it looks like the sub got smashed. where the gasket is the outside basket is dented in a good 1 inch or so... I was hoping to get to play with it today... but i guess that's gonna have to wait. Yang

Enjoy! Now we need to get a new saz-1000d in there too.

So... I want to do something for real this time and actually get a vehicle that can handle some weight and still drive around without issues. Concerns about driveability have really hampered my previous plans for something large. I really do NOT like driving huge vehicles either for the most part. I happened across a really interesting vehicle by chance on Craigslist last week and decided to pull the trigger ! 2006 Chevy Express 3500 w/ Duramax Diesel Engine! I test drove it and it was alot more comfortable for me to drive than most huge vehicles and has some real power behind it as well. I am looking at mostly music and mostly impressive demoing but would plan to compete…
