Sundown Audio

i will be running 6-eminence alpha-6c's(4ohms,100rms) and 2-boss audio tweeters tw12(4ohms,50-75rms) and im confused as to which 4-channel amp to get considering the 50.4 looks as if it only has the hpf going up tp 3,000hz on two channels only and wondering if im reading it wrong. is the 100.4 the same as well or is their a special way to use the 50.4 in my application. two channels will have two eminence's on them each and the other two channels will have one eminence and boss tweeter each. if i get the 50.4, channel 1&2 will be dedicated to eminence and boss tweeter, while im confused on how to run the two eminence setup on channel 3&4 with the hpf only going to…

I just installed my SAX100.4 and when I was hooking up the Power/Ground I got a spark. I had hooked up the ground first and was undoing the screw for the positive connection on the amp. I guess the side of the screwdriver touched the the side of the amp and the positive screw at the same time and sparked a little. The amp works but I can't think of why it did this. Anyone care to enlighten me? Also, I was wondering what exactly the remote knob controls? Is it gain or bass boost?

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

Do you think it would be okay to install a SAZ-1500D and SAX-100.2 like the following pictures? The SAZ-1500D will be powering two TC Sounds OEM 10's and the SAX-100.2 will be powering a pair of CDT Braxial ES-630's. The pics are of a 350Z.

hi all i have a sax 100.4 and a saz1500d ... i want to change my install a bit ... do something a bit more visually appealing now in the pics below ud see one of the amps " floating " in the center ... i want to do a symmetrical pair like that the lower board will have a small fan and it will have gaps in the board exposing the heatsink a bit so now my questions 1 : has anyone ever installed their sundown amps in an area with minimal ventilation and did it have any issues ? 2 : do you think the setup will have adequate cooling ? 3 : what improvements do u think i can make?

So, I wake up today get in my car and on my way to school, just to back up as a helpful info, I unhooked 1 of my subs the other day due to wiring and needed a bigger gauge. Sounded fine no problem with one sub everything was wired correct. So this morning I come out with a bigger Ga wire hook it up turn the amp on and it's barely playing so, I turn it completely off from the remote wire. I'm at school I unhook everything bring the amp in pop it open everything looks fine bring my car around to my shop class hook it all up and as soon as I plug my power wire in It arced just like a welder and my amp is up in smoke so, unhook it all open it up and take a look to what looks …

Wired a 1500d to a btl. Everything is right but there's no sound. Amp gets power, lights up blue. No protection light. Speaker wires test 1.8ohm (dual 1ohm wired to 2ohm) RCA's SHOULD be good...nothing has changed. How can I test my RCA voltage? I have a multimeter. (which part of the RCA is POS and which is NEG?) Anything else I'm missing?

Guys, Need some advice on decidng on an amp. I buy audio equipment like once every 5 years so im trying to make an educated decision on this the first time. Ive done my homework to this point so thats why im going with Sundown. Vehicle is a Tundra. I am in the process of making a sealed console-style subwoofer enclosure to house two (2) 12" woofers (more than likely the new 12" SA series when theyre released). Each chamber will likely be 1 ft^3. The electrical is stock right now but am willing to do the big 3 if necessary. I'm trying to decide on which amp would best suit my needs both now and in the future. I know for a fact that I will not be competing (no desir…

This may be a dumb question but.......i saw on another thread about the 8" @150db talking about you running it on a 3500d @1 ohm and putting about 1500-1700 to it correct? But the 3500d is rated 3500 @1. Does it put out the 15-17 due to gain and volume turned down, or what? Also, i see people talking about running .5ohm daily, what kind of power does the 3500 put out there without clipping? what about 1 ohm @ 16v?

i just a new temporary amp because i blew my old one. Works great but the only problem is i have to unplug it and re plug it in to turn it on every time i start my car. It's very annoying and i don't know where to start or what to look for. Anyone have any suggestions?? its a pyramid cheap amp so that might be the problem as well

Hey, Just wondering if I should look into getting another 1200 or 2 1500's in the future or a 3000 lol... I wanna hook up a 1200 to each BL but I was thinking what If I wanted a single BTL or Nightshade in the future 1200's can't be strapped... or shouldI just wait and cross that bridge when I get to it. Thx Josh

Jacob, Are your amps rated with a reactive (nominal) load or resistive? In other words, are they made knowing a reactive load will be placed on them in normal use? This is brought up due to the number of "impedance rise" and "I can wire the 3000D to .5 ohm nominal because it will actually be above 1 once the sub is wired to it due to the rise" questions and comments. *I am not trying to single your amplifiers out, I just wanted to know in general and since you're on the forum I figured I'd ask you.

Amp for 2 E8v3's d4

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…

Hey guys, bout to order a SAZ-1500d and a SAX-125.2 and I have a 12inch Nightshade on the way. I'm also gonna put a Kinetic HC1800 in the trunk. I'm gonna order a dual amp kit from KnuKoncepts. My question simply is whats the best amp kit for these amps? I guess it would be more of a question about what size I need. I just want to do it up as nice as possible. KnuKoncepts looked good, but I'm also open to recommendations of other wiring brands. I also want to do the Big 3. What exactly would I need for that? Any other suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been around for a while but been out of the game for about 5 or so years(not that I knew all that…

hey i saw the amp has 4x40 amp fuses. i have also talked to a couple sundown guys who say you can get 2500 rms at .5 ohms with 14 volts. i dont understand how you can get 2500 watts from 160 amp's ?? because 160 X 14.4 and 85% efficiency equals 1958 watts i dont doubt that the amp puts out the power i just would like an explination why

Jacob recommend I throw 2 12 SA D4's in my 3 series BMW, and I am going to place the order, but what should i use to power them? Should i just get 1 amp (1500) or get two 1000's. The amp is going to be a sundown model so that's what we are working with.

I just got my car back from my installer today and I must say these Sundown's run super hot. After maybe an hour of playing time I almost burned my hand touching the top of the amps. I have one SAX-100.2, one SAX-100.4, and one SAZ-1500D and all three of them were equally hot. Also the SAX-100.4 shut off at one point probably due to the heat while the other two amps continued to play. Does anyone else have this problem? I think my installer is going to have to install a fan to blow some air on these things but I'm not sure it's going to help as it'll just be cycling hot air. For an SQ install they sound good, I just hope heat doesn't spoil the fun for me.

would there be any way to make a completelly wireless amp? something like a Bluetooth setup so people can get away from tearing their vehicles apart to wire their doors and what not. it's easy to power up an amp, but a pain in the ass to wire up the doors and the rest of it. i would love to see an amp that only needs the power and ground and instead of a remote wire or RCA's the amp turns on via Bluetooth signal sent from the headunit and sends signal to the speakers via Bluetooth. could you imagine how great that technology would be? i think it's an awesome idea. i think the amp would have to be on each speaker though and someting like a Bluetooth router would have to be…

This is a video that my good friend the RattRodder did of the old setup in the KIA. No, the subs are not out of phase. One of my rca cables male end was broken and was working intermittently. Enjoy. http://youtu.be/Z3Oyw1g9XHI

I have 2 sd1v2 10", not sure how to connect the wires on this diagram above. Do I solder, crimp, or something? It shows to hook a wire + to + and -to- but do I have to put two wires in one sub terminal? http://www.jbl.com/car/product_support/Sub...aspx?type=2-4-1
