Sundown Audio

I'm running two Sundown amps, now discontinued, an SAX 50.4 for front coaxes and then lineout from that into an SAZ 1000D for the subwoofer. One of the front inputs on the 50.4 broke off, so for a temporary fix, I just ran the outputs from the stereo into the rear inputs. It was just the other day however, that I noticed I no longer had any bass coming from the sub. Now before I go tearing everything apart to see what's wrong, my first instinct was to assume that the line output of the 50.4 receives it's signal from the left and right front inputs. So if I'm using the rear inputs only, no signal to send out to the sub amp. Would this assumption be correct? I really …

Back in stock now with D2 and D4.

Hello I was wanting to use the 100.4 for my front stage. I was going to run 6.5 in the kicks and maybe a 3 or 4 inch in my front pillars. I was wondering can you bandpass, for example channel's 3&4 with the subsonic filter set at 150 hz then setting the Low pass frequency crossover at 4,500Hz for the 6.5. Then channels 1&2 would be set on High Pass and the High Pass Crossover set at 750Hz for my pillars. I will also be running tweeters I will be running those on channels 1&2 also. How could I Passively crossover these. I was thinking around around 7,000-8,000Hz any info would be helpful. Thanks

so i was wondering what was required to become a member of team sundown??

tryng to buy one used or new.

1) Would it harm the amp if you do not use all the channels? Need to send one of my speakers back for warranty and wondering if there is no speaker on channel 4 if that would hurt the amp. 2) Friend wants to upgrade his system. What type of power does bridging channels 3 & 4 give? Want to possibly run a pair of components and a sub.

Any updates yet? Can't decide to wait for a 10 or just get a 12. If the price diff is minimal, I'll probably end up getting a 12.

Hello Jacob and all of the Sundown community, Very new here, and thanks for having me. There seems to be an ambient thermal issue and was looking for some advice. I have my 1500d mounted on the back fold-down seat in a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE1. The problem is, the temperatures here are peaking @ triple digits here lately, and average temps are around 98F-99F. Well, when I get in the car (usually around noon, lunch break), the amp is already hot, I cant leave my hand on it more than about 5-10 seconds. This is because I leave my seat folded down and the direct sunlight is shinning on the amp, however, if I have the seats folded up, and let it down when I take my lunch br…

Hey guys i was going to cut out some holes today and i was wondering if anyone knew the cutout diameter for a 12inch NS v1 I was thinking off hand it was something like 10.875 (7/8 = 0.875)

This was at a Meca 3x event on Sunday. Team Sundown was in full force! Top 3 SPL scores of the day. And iirc 2nd in each of these classes were using Sundown. Gary Fletcher - 157.00 Paul Strouth - 155.00 Josh Newton - 154.7 Congrats to all Team Sundown members who competed @ this event.

I was just wondering if I have 2 sa8 on a saz1000 wired at .5 ohm will I be getting 1000 actual watts to the sub? I have a 250 amp alt, and odyssey pc1750 battery

Been searching but can't find out what ohm this sub is, is it 2 or 4 ohm? is it SVC or DVC?

just had to make a post to you guys for an absolutly amazing amplifier had it for 2 weeks now and it is an absolute machine thanks for one of the beefiest amps ive seen and heard the amp i'm refering to is the saz2000d too bad they discontinued it but will deffinatly be sticking with sundown

i have an older box that was given to me by a friend who works at a shop.... he said that he really didnt know what it was tuned to but the 11.5 long and the only thing he remembers ( which was written on a sticky from the guy who built it) that the box had 26.43 cu. inches of area, 1.48 cubes .... so some ruff calculations on my part which i suck at i am still unsure on what this box is tuned to.??? JUST A TEMP BOX UNTIL PETE AND I GO OVER THE NEW BUILD WITH 15 NSs... i spoke with him last week and was think going with a horn design.... could get interesting.

The amps are on the final truck to us and are in Charlotte this morning. Assuming nobody drops the ball big time we should have them today. Being that they must ALL be tested I am not sure how many if any will ship out today but I'll have tons of pictures at least when they come in and we start testing =) These are ALL sold already -- just an update for those that ordered them.

does anyone have jacob at sundowns number i need to get in touch with him and my email isnt working right thnks

Finally got some time off of work to sit down and play with some settings. Made a video and found that my voltage drop was way worse than I thought after I got everything running. So, bought a bigger battery and did some more wiring. Much better! Now I don't drop below 13v at high idle (1k). On the low notes before I would drop down in the 10's. Scary stuff. Anyway, made a new video over the weekend and after fits of rage doing video edits, I got it uploaded. Let me know what you think.

Hello, I am looking at a 100.4 to run my entire system with CH1/2 running a full range component set and Ch3/4 bridged to a subwoofer. I see in the owners manual that the HPF is a 12db filter but coundn't see what the subsonic is. My primary question is that since there is some overlap in these two filters if I wanted to filter out the fronts at say 60 hz is there a reason to pick one or the other to use or to use a combination of the two? Thanks John

Listen 1st of all I posted on here a few days ago about not getting my invoice. I had to go out of town for a job and could not post. This is the 1st chance I've had. Just let me start by saying some of you are so out of line it's unbelievable. I'm a paying customer who spent alot on my 2 amps. All I wanted was my invoice that DB-r fucked up and didn't send. The reason I posted here is because where else do I go when DB-r never get's around to sending the damn invoice? Give me a break I have done nothing wrong at all except ask for the invoice and it's not my problem if Db-r can't seem to remember our e-mail communications in which they told me they would send the invoic…

I ordered a 50.4 in hopes of bridging it to get the proper power I need out of my midbasses. After purchasing the amplifier, I looked at the wiring diagram for bridging and it only shows mono subwoofer. I wanted to run these at stereo for my midbasses xover actively from 60-1.2kHz. Is bridging out of the question?

Hi all, I've just installed my new amp : a saz 1500. I had the saz1000 on my 15" xcon. I did it this past week end, so I could not buy what I needed. I used the distribution block I already had. I have a 0 ga wire coming from the under hood battery to the trunk, and coming trough a dist block with 3 "out" : 1 for the sax50.4 amp with a 60amp fuse and the 2 others are now used for the saz1500 with a 80 amp fuse for each wire. So, I have 2 4ga wires that goes into the bass amp instead of one 0ga from the dist block to the amp. Is it safe ? I did not change the ground wire from 4 ga to 0ga, but I will do it today because it might not be safe at all now! Is it worth changi…

What is the displacement for an 18'' Nightshade? Couldnt find it on the site. Also, how much room behind the pole does it need to vent in the box? I was thinking a few inches is good?

i have one of my 100.4 bridged on my mid-bass my question is if i hook up the remote gain will it only change 1 side {ch 3/4} or will it change both sides {ch 1/2 and ch3/4} ? i think only ch 3/4 will be changed.

Any information on the new SAE-1200?
