Sundown Audio

Greetings, gents. I have an interesting goal where failure is not an option. Sparing details, a 'friend' of mine has a pair of DC level 3 10's being driven off a 3500 watt mono block, clamped around 2200. It hit 144 @ 29 hz and this is a rear-firing ported box in a trailblazer. This dude is a tool. Will not shut up about his setup and thinks he's unbeatable. Well again, sparing more details, I want to one-up his ass with 4 SA8's. Not only louder, but I want it to go lower. Here's what I'm working with: 1996 Nissan Altima. The back seat is out and I hope to have the 4 SA8's sealed against the opening for maybe a 4th order? Or ported with just the subs blowin…

So guys i am new to sundown audio. A friend told me about the SA-8 so i thought i would give them a try. I just ordered 2 dual 4 ohm for a 1 ohm load on my hifonics brutus 1200.1. But any ways long story short i had a cool box design i wanted to try but not to sure on how to calc. the box volume and needed port length for a 35hz tune. So i put together a little paint shop quick drawing to get some input. Plz no bad comments about the drawing i know its crap but its just an idea of what i am looking for.

SA-8 v.1 are sold out from our warehouse for NEW woofers... WoofersEtc.com has quite a few still in stock, though ! So go check them out if you need one. Also... Nick is still selling the re-built units as well : Re-coned SA8's

Going to install a dual setup in my car during the winter months. The box has 1.17 cu ft. air space. and 8.5" depth. I can have a port put in if you guys think it would make a difference. Wanting to make sure everything is good before I start ordering stuff.Thanks

Sundown SA-12 Review - DIY Mobile Audio "I have had this sub for a few days now and am finally getting a chance to really give it a good listening to, mainly on my commute to and from work and this evening i finally had some time to just sit in the car and play some random tracks. The car is a 2008 Scion xB, the sub is in the rear cargo area in a 2cu ft ported enclosure tuned to 29hz (I will be updating my build thread with that info as well) Sub is on the drivers side facing the hatch port is on the passenger side facing the wall which was recommended to me and works VERY well. Build quality is outstanding, great fit and finish on all parts. Nice thick paper cone, stiff …

Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x Sundown Audio sa-15s (stock) (4th Order Bandpass Enclosure) 2x Sundown audio saz-2500s 3x Mechman 300a Alts + Stock Unit 4x XS Power D3100s (12v) 156.3db off 4700w clamped power Jared can do a 3-round bass-boxing average of 155 dB or so... and the guys said he has done 157+ on burps. Withe one sub down from too much demoing Jared managed a 154.1 three round average at the Macon, GA show on Sunday -- on Saturday he showed the full 155.0 dB average :thumbsup: BASS BOXING VIDEO : ---------- OTHER VIDEOS :

I blew my sa12 and was wondering if this is part of the cone itself? and if i got a recone kit if it would fix this?

I am pleased to present one of our national records, established in Italy by the team sundown audio Italy - Team Dore. This machine has made the record in a category with many limitations, only 1 subwoofer, 1 amp, 1 battery, in a small hood! A "bullet A" style but with a limit of 60hz!!!!!!! This machine has 1 Nightshade 12" v.2 D1 SPL coil 1 Zapco 7500 (expect our NS-1 to improve) 2 Battery limited space, limited at 60hz ... a great and hard work for 1 year National Record at 154,3db in standard position (on glass) term-lab. a small picture on the box that shows the work and here is the video of the race I hope that jacob is happy with our work

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

Are there sa8 recones available? If not do you have an eta? Thanks Steve

This is pretty cool build done by the guys at SAdemocar here in Moscow... a brand new VW Scirocco with bags running some Sundown gear

Just got off the phone with my local machine shop... looks like they can make the copper tube I need @ 75mm long x 74mm ID x 76mm OD Also looks like I can get a 77mm diameter coil former from Precision... and that I have a nifty motor here already in stock with a 40mm tall top plate. Can anyone guess what I'm doing ? Hint : When I'm done with the first one it's going in my daily driver.

Congrats to Jon Kennedy for winning IASCA Southeast Regionals SQ in the PRO class with a pair of SA-8s -- he is a part of Team First Amendment. He also won a Bass Boxing challenge presented by Team Epsilon/PPI against Chad Romano -- a friendly challenge, of course! They plan to continue the friendly challenge at SBN this year :thumbsup: Jon runs PPI amplifiers and an old school Boston 3-way set. I am going to get some more details from him on the actual bass boxing scores and the install but for now I'll share the photos I have -- the box is a 4th order that fits under his truck seats.

Got a small stealth box I'm putting in my car and I need a sub for it. I believe the SA-10 would work,just want to make sure.I also need advice on which amp. Here's the box specs..... .6 cu ft space,sealed. Mounting depth of 8 inches.

Hey Jacob, I was wondering how much excursion is safe with these 10's. On some heavier midbass songs they get goin with maybe a half inch of excursion. Theres no hint of distortion o just want to make sure they were designed to handle this.. Thanks

Just whipped up a quick ported box for a 03 Ford Lightning truck for a local here, box came out good and cannot wait to hear it in his truck. Box is pretty simple 1cuft tuned to 35hz with a single aero port. Will be installing this and building his small amp rack this coming weekend, and I have nothing but great expectations on performance from this sub. This is the second local here that I have recommended the SD series too who purchased them. The first I believe picked up a pair of the SD12s.

ok guys i blew a coil outta my sa-15 today i was wondering if its possible to recone it to a sa-8 dumb question but i was just wonding the cost and stuff. thanks =me):

Well you will be able to get one again soon. We made a special run of SAZ-1000Ds just for WoofersEtc.com that is due in about two weeks. Many people are looking for mates to their 1000Ds and this will be another, and the final chance to get one! This will likely be a one-time deal for a final run on these amps. I'll get more information up on pricing and whatnot once they actually arrive here at our facility.

So here's one of the shop run-around cars we managed to snag up a few months ago... an Audi a4 sedan the trunk is pretty much sealed off from the cabin with a full metal diviader with 10by12 ski hatch box is a bit over 2 cubes, tuned to 26Hz Stock bat under the hood Shok Reference 0awg to the back 2 SA10 d2's SAX1200D @ 0.5 ohms very flat from 22 to 37Hz Playing some music Now we add an XS Power D680, a nice 20Ah bat Scores went up and Vic - who designed and made this box this is a great box for music and playing lows...lots of flex and even moves decent air

As the title states, trying to find the displacement on Sundown Z18v.3's. I've tried for the last several hours using google and searching on several forums to get the info on these beasts. Thanks in advance to whoever can help.

Just got these in - Thanks Jake!!! these have the NS parts since the z v3 parts were not in yet when these were built

From all of you who have run an SA-12. How will they run off of 500rms? I heard while they are rated at 600rms they need a little more than that to get moving well. But my car has a small alternator and I think 500rms is about what I can pull off safety. I just worry it wont be enough.

So here are the plans for my second audio upgrade I have a 2010 xb that i've self taught everything from engine work to visual http://www.flickr.com/photos/djfrozone/ Pics relevant. Here is my current setup Pioneer AVH p4100dvd RF Prime R300-4 Visionik 350 mono Infintiy 6022i 103t tweeters RF p1-110 sub wiht factory box. Ebay wiring amp kits i found and yea. I'm looking to do it right this time. The RF i have is a nice sub. clean sound, but nothing to write home about. it wont make u go "well shiiiiiit" I heard about the SA-8 from a friend on Scionlife. saw a video of it in a lil CRX and decided that is more than enough for me. not triying to win shows. but at times i j…

Originally posted on CACO by TommyK in May 2010 : ---------- Ok, finished with dinner and the garage and outside is cleaned up, so now its on TO THE NUMBERS! Ok first off, I'll run down the equipment. A single SA-8 and a pair of mb quart 2000d's running at 2 ohms strapped. Box is a tommy k special. The note played for all the scores was 45 hz. First up is a picture of the meters. On the left is DC amperage draw for both amps, then AC amperage, then AC voltage. Do the math and that ends up being 2816 watts. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS! This amount of power pushed the sub HARD, to the point where the cone hit the basket. But I'm doing maximum SPL tests so I don't care …

Hey guys, greeting again from Russia... we just had the national DbDrag finals last weekend. Our team in Rostov quickly (about a week) build up a system for SS1-2 that was good enought to take second place in the class with a 156.5 two SAZ4500's two Sundown Audio z18v2 subs two XS Power D3100's here are some pics of the build and from the comp this has a ton more potential ...hopefully they will rebuild it soon with metal for the cage
