Sundown Audio

My sub woofer sounds like the voice coil is frying on only about 350 watts rms at 4 ohms is it some thing to do with the new cones in the middle of the cone it gets pretty hot after only a couple minutes

2x Sundown 3000d Strapped 2x Pierce Audio Subs ( New ) WMD^2 7cf ported to 52Hz / note played 52Hz 1 burp 3sec long / BAMMM 154.1db Temp yesterday off the scale Hot & Humid more pics later

Ok, so I was wondering witch way I should go with the box. First off these are the custom Nightshade 18"s and I have a 3000D on each for anyone that didn

Well all I have to say is thanks Jacob. I just got 2 1500d's, let me tell you they are strong amps!!! I can't wait to get the other 6. I did manage to do some testing... I will just say this 2 1500's are louder than one Stetsom 7kd in my vehicle, on 12volts.

Here is the deal... 5000-watt amplifier (SAZ-5000D) Factory rated specifications: ~4000 @ 13 volts ~5000 @ 14 volts ~7000 @ 18 volts As with the 3000D these are quite likely conservative at the lower voltages as we have found that the 3000Ds produce 3000 watts down to very low voltages. --- $1200 pre-order pricing ($2199 MSRP) 6 month standard warranty * 2 year discounted replacement warranty ** * - Not warrantied for 1/2 ohm operation - this is a given but I want to spell it out just in case. ** - Meaning if you blow it up you will get a replacement at a discount after sending in the blown amp - but it will not be a free replacement / repair like the standard warranty. D…

The old thread was getting, well, old... so it's time for a new one. The build house that I was working with on the X12 for the previous three iterations of prototypes was unable to produce my design to spec properly... so production has been moved elsewhere. Since I was already behind I decided to implement all of my other ideas for improving the design now rather than for later versions. 1) Changed to dual, mirrored progressive spiders -- they were linear units before 2) Optimizing top plate to coil height ratios for better BL linearity -- top plate is now 16mm tall 3) Optimized magnet ID and height to avoid wasting magnet mass (not making it heavier than necessary) 4) …

Got some refurb SA-8s coming next week from Mike for some builds, and here's the first. Its going in a 99 Silvy, made to fit over the center hump under the rear seat. And we did not have to raise the seat at all! The box nets 1.1 cubes, tuned ~ 38hz. https://picasaweb.google.com/ASB2106/NathanS2xSa8# Some of the better pics..

Hey guys i'm new to the forum pretty much and i drive a 2011 camaro. i got that sundown amp with an incriminator audio death row 12.... i took it to the most reputable shop in town and asked them to install it. i've taken three cars to this place before and nothing has ever went wrong. They hooked it up, said everything was great, but they had set the gain on the lower side as i would need to break in the subwoofer for awhile and go easy on it. that was fine with me because i wasn't really gonna start slamming til i replaced my door speakers which will happen around late october. well the system worked fine the first day, it sounded amazing, better than anything i've hear…

Would two D2 SA-8's do ok on an Audiopipe AP1000D running at 2ohms? That would be 700watts rms. Also, how would the sound compare to a single 10 or 12 in an SQ type setup?

my orig plan was to run 5 SA8's, i already own 2, so i know how they preform. But im also wondering if i should do 2 sa 12's instead? they will be running off a saz2k, and im willing to run down to .5ohm daily or at 1 ohm. these will be in a s10 ext cab. running 4" aero ports. i know its hard to figure out what would be better, just need some more help deciding. I listen to mostly just music off the tunez section, low bangers.

So I was sitting here thinking of how I can make my car louder! then it hit me! toss out my back seat and get another NS 15inch and more power and fire them up or forward! lol!! I was just looking over my last install pics and I noticed without the rear seat I have so much more space. plus my car already has 320,000km (198,000 miles) so what can I lose! lol!! I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY MEASUREMENTS YET, this is just what I was thinking about. my car is a 95 grand am my current setup can be found here I now have a new jvc avx77 and aluminum bus bars on my batteries so everything looks a little more cleaner! anyways back to my idea! if I pull out the seat make a 6cubic box ei…

Hey guys, Got a huge tear on my SA-8 :'( Is this repairable? if so, what glue would be the best to fix with? thanks in advance

did some testing with an sa-12 yesterday, and i was amazed at what these little "entry level" subs can do. on with the testing: Car: 1997 Chevy Cavalier z24 w/sunroof Electrical: stock alt, yellow top up front, kinetic 1800 in back, 2/0 welding cable all around Amplifier: One SAZ-3000 Enclosure: 2.7 cube box sub back 6inch aero port firing toward driver side wheel well. Subwoofer: One Sa-12 all testing done using the midwest spl format, meter on dash with window open, my car typically loses.4-.5 by sealing it up. also the subwoofer was brand new out of the box when i started these tests, i did the tests in the order they are listed. back to back about 2 minutes between…

The SD-1 v.2 10" subwoofer is going on sale! Fantastic dual 4-ohm voice coil USA made driver. MSRP is $229 on these drivers but for the duration of this sale they are available for $150 shipped in the continental 48 states! You won't be able to find another fully USA manufactured driver that is as shallow and performs as well for near that price. Two of these would work nicely with an SAX-100.2 bridged at 4 ohms or an SAE-1000D running at 1 ohm!

Hello. I've got a ported 5.3 cu.ft box and 1.6k amp (my box is 1.1 cf ports and 4.2 cf for the sub) which sub would be better with my setup? the Z v3 15" or the 18" ? also I've got XS power D2400 battery. I cant get a bigger box, thats the maximum box size that I can have. is my mono will be enough for that sub? (can't change it, I'm out of budget) is that box is enough for the 18" ? if not, is it good for the 15" or is it too big? * car details: I have a Fiat Grande Punto (small car. hatchback) and my box is slanted front if it matters. Amp: Celestra FA1.6k Thanks, Udi.

Basic soccer mom Sundown Audio install.

Sorry for the multiple post. I wanted this in the Sundown section, so reposted here... My son really likes the SA8s and wants to upgrade his stereo system. Can someone help with a box design? I assume someone has done this already and has posted a box design of what they did. I've been looking but have found some crazy installs. We only want to do two subs. Ported since that is the recommended design. If going sealed does not hurt that much, then that would be an easier build. This will be our first sub project together so want to do something on the easy side. We built a pirogue so have skills. BTW, he will be powering these with a Cadence ZRS-2002 going with 2 channel,…

Looking for some info. I'm running 2 CDT QES1020 10"s in a ported box with a SAX-1200d. When I connect 1 sub the thing freaking shakes. It vibrates my mirrors and just sounds amazing. However when I connect the 2nd one, the audio tapers off, it sounds scratchy and doesn't hit as hard. It also seems like its making a ton of port noise and less audio. I checked all my connections and my +'s and -'s are connected per the manual. I'm not bridging or anything, just + to + and - to - for the 2 speakers on the 2 outputs. Any advice on something else to check? I've also swapped speakers and output ports. Anytime I have 1 connected no matter the output port, or the sub it…

The samples arrived while I was out of town -- back now and on to the photos !

Glad I didn't sell the ol' Jeep... I took a small portion of the day to actually mess around with my own setup so I don't go crazy and hate stereos *laughs* I am building the back battery / amp rack for a forward firing SSNW setup and I was initially scared that it would hurt my scores with the Magic Box until I start on that -- of course I haven't clamped power yet... but this is the best score I've ever done with an SA-15. What I'm using is a Dual-2 copper coil SA-15 that I used to measure T/S for the official spec sheet I made -- this one is identical to the production run due next month; which only differs from what we sell now in that it has a shorting ring and a dif…
