Sundown Audio

  1. Started by pogothemonk3y,

    I recently installed this amp with a pair of HAT Clarus 5.25 and I was wondering if the LPF on channels 3 and 4 are not functioning properly. I'm currently running active and I was attempting to bandpass my mids using the Subsonic and LPF. When I select LPF the mids produce that range I selected, however there is a buzzing sound coming from the mids and they sound slightly distorted. When I select HPF they play just fine. The Subsonic is set to 70HZ and the LPF is set to around 5500HZ. Thank you

    March 2011 issue, P54,55 There is a 2nd Gen S10, that has a 15" FI BL powered by a Sundown SAZ-1200 and a 125.2 for the mid/tweets.... Might be a repost, but I think its great to to see some of the cooler brands like this finally getting some play in the Magazines, not just companies that buy full page adds in every magazine they see on the stands.....

    What are the difference and what makes them similar? I have heard that these two amps are of the same zenon board. I am thinking about buying an atomic amp from someone for cheap but i am not sure yet because I do not know much about atomic amps. Also, this amp is going to be used on two 10" Audioque sdc2.5 subs. I am not interested in competitions but maybe 1 or 2 here or there just for fun. I am mostly wanting an amp to power the two subs with clean power for a good sound. thank you in advance for the replies.

    Is it o.k. to run a .67 load on one of the SAZ models? I am currently feelin' around the forum to find out what I want to do with my sub stage and might do three SA-8s. Before I get too carried away, I wanted to make sure that it would be safe to run 3 D4 SA-8s off of an SAZ model amp, (currently the 1000D but beefing up to a used 2000D in the future for comps and such). I suppose the second question would then be: As long as I keep the box small and watch the volume knob when I'm daily driving, would it be safe to run the afore-mentioned subs off an SAZ-2000D? I don't know for certain, but wouldn't that be 3000 watts-ish? Thanks for any help in advance P.S. I didn'…

    Hey followers of Sundown. I am thinking I want to use the SA-8 in my car. I designed an enclosure and am now looking for feedback before I jump in the Sundown pool. Let me give you some background of the car it is going in and the sound I am looking for. I own a 2003 VW Jetta GLI. It has the factory Monsoon sound system with an aftermarket Kenwood Double Din. The factory monsoon amp consists of an 8 channel amp running a component set in each door. The woofers are low in the door and the tweeters are in the A-pillars in the front, and by the door handle in the rear. It gets plenty loud, and is relatively clean. What it is missing however is some low range. I want enough…

    Hey everyone I'm, having issues right now with my amp. I don't know too much about wiring and etc but my installer says that the amp I have isn't stable at 2ohm's and won't try 1ohm for fear of blowing the amp. It's stable at 4ohms but thats it, so right I have no idea what to do about it. Is the amp just bad? I ordered it almost two months ago but just installed it today and forgot to even see if I had a warranty when purchasing. Also the amp as it is now is pushing two AA havoc 12's in a sealed box and the amp is just rattling BAD. Like real real bad were it's so annoying and loud that everyone can hear it. So whats going on? Is this amp just bad in both it's st…

    These are the results we got from my testing today at Modified Nationals in the UK - the first 2010 db drag event in the UK. Single SAZ-4500d amp 0.35 DCR. All results true RMS. Deck Volume started 12 - went to 41 of 47 - still clean sine at this point. 77.9 AC Volts 57.2 AC Amps 13.2 battery volts before starting 11.50min voltage over burp. 77.9 * 57.2 = 4455 watts RMS @ 1.36 ohms impedance. Subs were 2 x DC Audio 4XL SPL Motor 18's D1.4 coils all in parrallel. 158.3 db achived at 66hz!!! Well impressed with the amps - need to try some D1.0 recones now to see what difference we get loading the amp down more.

    We got bored a few minutes after close and decided we were going to smoke a pair of mechanically damaged SA-8s -- well it turned out to be harder than we suspected to thermal these little guys... even the 2" coil SA-8 was able to out-last the Type-R 12" that we tested - I am pretty satisfied with that. Video comment : "Comes online at 69v/9.5A=655 watts so 325 each... crank it up a bit and land at 81.5v/10.5A=855 watts so ~427 each. All the way down at 3 minutes we are still at 82.6v/9.16A=756 watts... we keep playing nice until 5 full minutes elapsed at right around rated power levels then crank it up all the way to 115v/12.5A=1437 watts or 718 each !!! Then continued to…

  14. I have a box on the way from Dave The Box Guy with interchangeable ports and what not and would like to use it for a long time without modifying the sub cut out holes. It is going to be for 2 SA-12s that I have laying around. I was just curoius to see what the cut out diameters were for the Zv4 or X series because I will eventually upgrade to one of them. Thanks everyone. Sorry if the answer is somewhere else, I have looked and looked but haven't found it yet.

  15. Got some factory pictures just now -- it's shipping to us soon. Assuming all goes well we'll start production of this and the 2500D v.2 very soon! * I had mentioned we were working on double inputs but it wasn't going to work out with the narrow casing. Outside of dedicated SPL the difference is not significant, though. * We got the production RCAs on this prototype. * BEEF

    Hello, I have a 100.4 running a set of infinity mids and highs and 2 kicker 8 midbass speakers in my doors. When I first installed it all, it sounded good. Now over the past few days, the speakers have been getting distorted and static sound in them. Now they are at the point that you cannot hardly even hear the music. I have replaced the rca cables, removed every speaker from the amp to see if there was a loose or grounded wire, and removed the head unit and checked every connection. No success... Cannot figure this one out... Maybe someone can help me fix this problem.

    This Bronco belongs to my good friend, Brandon. So far only a single SAZ-1500D for power @ 1.33 ohms, single run 4 awg power wire, stock alt, one Powermaster D3100! Coming soon... dual alternators and two SAZ-3000Ds! Video uploaded shortly. This box is tuned to the mid 20s and was made for daily low-bass pounding His goal is to bass-race with it and not to generate peak scores, what class is to be determined.
