    As of March 31st, 2007 the "Z" series amplifiers will no longer carry 0.5 ohm warranty coverage. You can read a more complete explanation as to why this came about here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7556 Old SAZ-1500D 1/2 ohm warranty coverage thread for amps sold before March 31st: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7151

    I have 2 SSA Icon 15s and wanted to know if I should get the 1000, 1200, or 1500. I read on here that it if I have a bigger box then I will need less power and also that the 1200 can out out as much power as the 1500 on a normal, daily, unstrapped setup. Would there be much of a audible difference if I use the 1000 rather than the 1200 or 1500? 2 SSA Icons 15s 8 cuft ported box tuned to 32hz **I know everyone will say 1500 but I m thinking about the price as well and would it be worth spending hundreds more for a little change. I was leaning towards the 1200 because of the power it can give out or the 1000 because I have a big box and need less power.

    I took some flex videos today. Not nearly as powerful as Meade or Assman, etc..... But not to bad for 2000 watts of Sundown power and two 15's that are 600 watt RMS from a trunk car. Playing Airforces by Jeezy. Can't wait to get my other subs so I can get more power in the car. http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk91/ba...rrent=Flex1.flv http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk91/ba...rrent=Flex2.flv Edit: It looks better in person.

    this is supposed to be a top of the line amp and im so unsatisfied right now. well of course it hits really hard and most likely has the ability to kill my subs but still for being a top of the line amp it has a problem. like i honestly thought since it was described by so meny to be the best, i thought it would not have any problems. The amp works fine i know but thats not what im pissed about... MY BASS KNOB LED DONT WORK!!! like come on mr fuller. jesus... haha im just kidding, great product, and i was just wondering if the led on the remote was a common problem.

    I have four subs that the speaker leads burned through. What would cause this? Same amp ran all subs. They died at same time. Would amp putting out DC do this? Coils are fine. I am stumped.

  16. Ok, got my 3000d today. Wired it to 1/2 ohm, and it just doesn't seem to be putting out power. i had the gain set at about 1/2 and it just seems like it's not puttin out the power. voltage read 14.53 and amp read exactly 0.5ohms. Also, when i turn it up to where i normally listen to it at the subs start cuttin in and out so i turned the gain down more and also turned the sub control down to like 5/15 and it still does it. Voltage barely drops, and it's really not loud AT ALL. what could be the problem?? Also, the amp never went in to protect or anything, i'm stumped...

    Jacob, I was wondering if you/Sundown ever considered making endcaps to go on the ends of their amps to cover all the wiring, knobs, inputs, etc... Also a space or cap two go between two amps to make it look like one continous amp would be sweet... So you would have Endcap|Amp|Endacp or Endcap|Amp|Spacercap|Amp|Endcap They look sweet the way they are, but I think this would really clean them up.... Thoughts?

The 500D will be named 600D based on the testing results from it (over 700 after impedance rise). The SAE-1200D did very well, though, and is pretty much on par with the SAX-1200D in terms of power but not quite as small in size. So far what I have pricing worked out is like this : SAE-600D -- $200 MAP SAE-1200D -- $285 MAP SAE-50.4 -- $155 MAP Pricing from an authorized dealer. Testing on the amp…

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
