Sundown Audio

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

Attention Team Sundown and other customers looking at 3000s. At the current rate of sales the 3000Ds will run out before I get more in stock. This year has shown incredible sales for the 3000Ds, well beyond my predicted averages. Just a heads up so you can make your plans accordingly if you NEED some before they are out. I estimate that they will be out of stock for 4-6 weeks once they are out. As an alternative there will be plenty of 1500Ds in stock during that time.

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…

I thought this woofer's basket was gonna be purple ish, but the blue is just sexy. the dustcap = sexorz. very well built woofer. the 2nd one is comin in tonight so umm whats the cone made of? and whats with the shineyness?

He said they pull less amps and have more adjustability. He also tried to get me to get a W3 over getting an SA12 He looked up sundowns website and looked at their product and said it looked great and all but JL was still better. LOL What do you guys think about that? Also 3 different car audio shops I went to hadnt even heard of sundown. I tried telling them they are a top rated company on the car audio forums and they all looked at me like I didnt know WTF I was talking about

I'm gearing up for the impending install in my SC400. I just ordered a 180a High Output alternator that should be here in a week or so. My tenative plan is to run 2 12" Fi Q's (D1 Ohm) on a SAZ-1500D. These will be running along side a JL450/4 for Mids/Highs. Am I going to be okay? Ohiogen, who is selling me the alternator, suggested I throw a Red Top in the back in addition to all of this but I don't want to if I don't have to, as it's just added weight and more money on top of the ~$550 alternator that I didn't want to have to buy in the first place.... It's a LSQ Install and I don't plan on blaring them in a parking lot with the key off or anything irresponsible. …

Who wants a build log, I've got one sitting here with some tasty sundown amps powering the system :bigclap:

I'm sorry for the silly question but what makes you a member in Team Sundown?

So banginAltima & I picked up his new pair of Sundown Audio z15"s yesterday. I feel so priveleged cause I got to test them out in my Explorer 1st. My box is a very basic 6ft net volume. Powered by a single Sundown saz-1500d it burped a 149.5 and hit 148.1 on music playing some Kanye West. We're gonna do some more testing tomorrow and see what they can do at different power levels. No doubt this will easily burp over a 150db on the saz-2000d which will be the perfect amp for a pair of these subs. No doubt I'm underpowering them with the saz-1500d. After a 30 second full tilt run on music they were still cold to the touch and it was 80* here today. There isn't e…

These are the results from Sundown Audio users at today's competition. All scores are sealed on the windshield unless otherwise noted. Two Kicker L5 15s powered by a Sundown saz-1500d.

Hardcore score (door open, mic in the kick)

I went to go the website and get some weird page like the name has not been bought? But anyways does anyone have a cutout diamter for a SD-1v1?

ONLY VOTE YES IF YOU *WILL* ORDER ONE during the first 30-day segment with the extra discount. Do not vote if you think you might... only if you will. Please POST if you voted YES - all other posts will be deleted. If I started it now and ran the pre-sale for 30 days it would 60-90 days after the "initial" pre-sale for amps to arrive but you would save $60 per amp vs. even the regular pre-sale for waiting the extra time. POLL RUNS UNTIL TUESDAY 3-17-09 -- if enough people are saying they will do it pre-ordering will start then. This puts amp delivery in late June to mid July. --- ORIGINAL POST: Who would be willing to put money down towards getting amps in late June if a …

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…

Well I changed my mind again on subs Ended up with 2 Sundown Nightshade 15's. Got them today and started the box and new midgate. I swear the pictures do no justice for the subs, they are huge. I am sure everyone has seen pics but here are some more. Buddy of mine had to hold the subs cause they seem to want to stand up on their own. Now my fiberglass midgate is a little more time consuming than I thought but here is the progress. Here is how I plan on attaching the midgate to the box. Box shown with bottom not attached, midgate is also second baffle. I attached the two boards to the fiberglass midgate. using drywall screws with rubber washers.

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!

The system 2004 Monte Carlo SS Sundown Audio SAE1200D v1 Fi audio 12 q with bp flex in a 2.5cu ft box tuned to 28hz wired at 1ohm Pioneer AHV-P3200BT Headunit Second Battery with H/O alternator 1/0 Gauge wire run including big 3 My sundown audio SAE 1200d worked fine for 3 months and then i took it out of the car because i wasnt going to be driving it for a month and let it sit in my room in the box under my bed. I just reinstalled my system in my car and now the amp doesnt work right. It powers on correctly and looks as if its working fine but it doesnt give ANY output. Sometimes when i start the car it will give output and work perfectly and can crank it and drive arou…

I did some testing today. I got out my craftsman DMM/clamp and played some 50Hz tones. (I have a Panasonic headunit with 2V preouts, an Excessive Amperage 250A alternator, 1 Duralast Gold size 65, 2 Kinetik HC1800's, big three with knukonceptz 1/0 gauge, etc...) This is my gain right now (red dot indicates)... I did volume 30/40 and sub at 0 on the headunit playing a 50Hz tone. I got 28.6 volts (AC) at the speaker terminals and 19 amps (AC) on the speaker wire, so 543.4 watts. I did volume 32/40 and sub at 0 on the headunit playing a 50Hz tone and got 33.2 volts and 21 amps, so 697.2 watts. I measured the resistance on my sub wires... 1.0 ohm. What's the deal? Why am I …

I have six used SAZ-3000Ds available at this time : Good Condition New Casing -- Used Amplifiers * $675 each with 1-year warranty

I originally built a .35 sealed box for it but wasn't pleased with it because It just wasn't loud enough. So I designed a new one and had my neighbor who has amazing wood working skills build. I'm certain the port length and box size is not optimal but it works great none the less. Roughly its a .66 ported box. 12x12x12 1/2mdf Needed to keep the ported box as small as possible because of room concerns. Port opening is 1" Tuned to about 45 hz. Using a Boston Acoustics GTA 500m and giving it all 500 watts. Turned the box out to take pictures, it normally faces forward. I can't believe how hard this 8" hits. The last time I had a sub was In 1998, it was a 10 Kicke…

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

I just hooked up my amp, set my gains, hooked up the sub, and I am getting zero output out of the sub. The sub is an SSA Icon D2 10", wired in parallel to 1ohm. The amp is a Sundown SAE-1000D, bought refurbished from DB-r. Headunit is a Pioneer DEH-P6000D for reference. It is hooked up exactly like this, except I only have one positive and one negative coming from the subwoofer, and they are connected to the positive on the left, and the negative on the left. I played a 50hz test tune, set my volume to 45/60, and adjusted the gain until it was at 30V at the speaker terminals on the amp. (a little below 31.6, figured that would keep me on the safe side) Then I hooked u…

155.1 dB - woohoo This was with a "Monster" prototype woofer -- not a production speaker. Interestingly... with all my tweaks to the Z v.2 prototype it was doing the same numbers per watt up to 2500 watts (I stopped measuring with the Monster at that point). So... I may be able to match this with a full production trim Z v.2 driver. Previous best was 154.9 with an 18v electrical system and two SAZ-3000Ds on the sub... this time I am on 12v but with two SAZ-4500Ds (power is similar). Some more pics of the setup : I haven't played with front to back box positioning since I built the new amp rack (yah, slacking... I know) -- but I'll work on that a bit when I get time a…
