Sundown Audio

Sorry if this is in wrong section, I'm helping someone who's getting screwed over. http://tinyurl.com/BewareOfChrislun Just trying to help this get settled.

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.

Seems it was a pretty hot topic so more information on it now. The market I am targeting is retail dealers -- the products this amp will compete with are primarily items from Memphis, Alpine, JL, Rockford, etc. SAE-500D prototype size not counting power terminals and RCA connectors is only 9.5" wide x 1 7/8" tall x 9" long -- this will vary a bit when we tool our actual case but will be quite similar. Cost will be $200.00 from an authorized dealer. Comparison to products in direct competition from authorized online sources : Memphis (1 ohm / 60-amp fusing) : $339.99 7.83 x 1.85 x 11.45 Memphis 16-PR1X500 JL (Class A/B / 2 ohms / 60-amp fusing): $299.99 14" x 2-1/8" x 7-11…

Just wanted to post up some pictures from this past weekend from the the Carl Casper car show. This was a MECA 3X event and there were quite a few people there. Here is how Team Carlisle Acoustics did at the event Jeremy McCord 07 Scion TC with two 15" FI Q subs and one Sundown 3000D Modified 2 First place with a 148.5 Brent Howard 00 Ford F-150 with two Audioque 15" HDC3 subs with one Sundown 3000D Amateur Street 3 First Place with a 145.6 Seth Haney 99 Pontiac Firebird with two Memphis 10" M3 subs and one Sundown 1500D Amateur Street 1 Second Place with a 138.8 Corey Mitchell 05 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with one FI Q 12" sub and one Sundown 1500D Street 1 PHAT 12 awar…

Sundown will be CLOSED June 20 - 24th 2008. My brother is getting married and I'll be in Florida. I'll have my lap-top so I'll get to as many e-mails and forum posts as I can... but nothing will ship during that time.

I will upload the video soon... will take a while as it's 9+ minutes long but the results really speak for themselves. We compared against a very well respected 2.5" coil driver rated for 600-watts RMS -- many people do run much more than that to this particular driver. The comparison was done simply to give a reference point. I was wondering if it was just me or if I wasn't even tickling this driver thermally with 800+ watts on tap in my car (SAX-200.4 two channels bridged at 2 ohms)... so the question is now answered -- I really wasn't even close to the thermal limits as this 60 Hz test is brutal with very little excursion. On music where the sub is moving 4-5x more the…

Hey guys, I'm new here.....thought I would come ask the experts. Well I recently purchased a barely used 1500D. Previously I ran an mrd-m501 for about 2 years to 2 12" R's, then I swapped it out for the saz, running it at 2 ohms. alls I did was swap the wires. the 1500D worked flawlessly for about 2 weeks, then all of a sudden today it got protection happy. my electrical is stock 105amp alt. stock batt. with 4 gauge wiring. It was fairly hot today, +35*C......so when it kicked into protection the 1st time I pulled over, checked the connections, turned it back on and it worked. the 2nd time it kicked into protect it wouldnt go back on I turned everything off except the a…

was installing a new to me sae 1200 from db-r when the worst thing happen the bit fell out and arched the speaker terminals.. everything shut off came back speakers made a weird hissing noise so i swapped it out seem to help the sub works for a little then cuts out

The finalized frame tool with production finish is done so I'm starting a thread to hold photos of all the parts as they finish up... we should have the rest of the tooled parts done the week of the 24th and the motor likely before that. So as I get images of the final parts I'll put them up!

i was going to do 2 18's untill i got a great deal from my teammate pipo with his t5 12's. i will be running 6 of them off 4 1500's and 7 optima g31 batteries (pic only has 6 because i have one under the hood already). plus an 300 amp excessive amperage alternator also. This will all be going in an mazda b3000 ext cab(same as ford ranger). I would like to also thank jacob for his excellent service!

decided to take a quick video. No tuning done yet, just fired it up and shot a quick video before I got yelled at.............lol Just a pair of 10's:

Was wondering if you guys are going to make a amp in the future thats full power (so to speak) at 2ohm instead of 1ohm? Instead of just linking 2 together

My brother got an SA-8 and may not be able to port the box based upon where he wants to put the sub in his truck. If he decides to go with sealed, what volume should the enclosure be built to ensure the maximum quality output? Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Thought I would try a few burps today Legal scores right now are 153.6 on 43hz 144 on 25hz still taken it easy on the volume knob a little I will keep updating in the future

I ordered a 3500D and now looking into purchasing a second battery. I currently have an older group 34 optima yellow top under the hood, 1/0 gauge wire ran to the trunk and the big 3 done. I'll be buying a 200 amp alt soon as well. I'm having a hard time deciding on which battery is the best between the Kinetik HC3800 or the PowerMaster D3100. I'm unable to find the complete stats on both. Some stats I have found, the Kinetik has 135AH and the PowerMaster has 117AH. The Kinetik is rated for a 3800 watt system and the PowerMaster 4000/5000+ watts. I havent been able to find CCA or CA for either although I did find the PowerMaster is rated for 3,200A Max Amps. The Kinetik …

Ok so I got everything hooked up last night ( 2 3000Ds on 2 Nightshade 18”s) and it

well this is what i have im gonna use the saz at .35 so ill be posting numbers of how much power it does (if i find a clampmeter ) and how does it perform. Battery power FTMFW new bussbar:D and last but deff. not least my recone for my DD 9515 ...i bought a new basket also

what kind of warranty you give for the amps?

Any chance of a sundown 5k or bigger in the future????

Ordered the 2nd SD to run strapped and power an HD315, but I picked up another HD for CHEAP. Sat on it for a week and decided I needed to fit them both in the trunk of my Altima. Install wasn't as extreme as I thought it would be and came out pretty nicely. Only vibration/rattle left to fix is the rearview mirror. Filled it with Great Stuff, but now the metal arms are squeaking. Otherwise car has over 150#'s of deadener. Here's the "dirty" side of the install. Box is painted white and I planned on leaving it ugly, but it got pretty scuffed up during the install and I had some scraps of black carpet, so I covered most of it. Amps are strapped @1.5ohms and power 2 HD315's…

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.

Stock 15" D2 Nightshade - Short Coil, Stock Cooling, 3 spiders Power = 2x SAZ-3000Ds strapped @ 1 ohm (internal strapping) I matched my best score with the "Monster" design. This confirms my theory that the Monster design *NEEDED* a ton of power to get loud - which confirms my decision to move with the NS-X first and continue work on the Monster design to increase efficiency AND power handling. I tried turning up the head unit more but did not gain any more SPL - just got the sub hotter!

"This is our upcoming 1250 RMS line being tested free air with nearly 3x their rated power level -- I took it up a bit too far just as an example =) This was taken with a bit newer camera than previously used -- Canon Powershot Elph 16.1MP. The excursion looks a little weird in this video compared to other videos so not sure which camera I'll keep using in the future -- but hope you all enjoy !" From the video caption.

Well jacob, we did it man, me and 3stagevetch both took home 1st place positions using sundown 1500d's.. 3stagevtch did 149db in advance NW and I clocked a 140.1db in rookie 1 in Iasca. Im hoping on october 5th to raise my score by 5dbs to take the WR in Iasca rookie 1 and I know for sure rene looking to put his set at over 150dbs.. We making the team proud!!!! Das mine^^ heheehehehee
