Sundown Audio

Congrats on your dB Drag ssnw win today with a 154.1 from ONE SUB. One NightShade 15" powered by a pair of saz-3500s on 12volts. I can't wait to see what you do with more cone area.

Just to start things off, I haven't really done much research and I'm completely new to this forum, so I'm sure I'm repeating a previously stated question. Anyway, I'm new to the car audio game and I want to hit lower notes. I have a Sundown X12 on an Orion CB3200.1D. It's in a box that I can give you just about zero information on because I have no information on it. I had a local company just build me a decent box that would get the job done. I somewhat understand that bigger box = lower frequency, or something like that, but how can I hit lower notes without changing the box? Is there anything I can do with positioning of the box (I have a 2002 Ford Explorer, btw), …

What "bass knob" does the SAZ use? I REALLY like the one that came with my SAX-100.4 amp and would like to have the same kind for my SAZ. Anyone know?

i went to get something to eat earlier and went to play my system that im tryn hard not to use till the season starts and i rolled into a beat really quick,which i shouldnt have,but did,and my amp cut off.its a 1500d and it didnt go into protect just turned off.i turned my head unit off and checked my fuse and it was fine.i turned the hu back on and it came right back on.weird huh.its dark right now so i couldnt check to c if a sub blew or what,but its still hittn hard as heck!!!anybody now what happened?thanks

I've seen a lot on the net about how the smd dd1 can damage sundown amps... Why? How? An why is this only sundown amps. Is it all user error or what?

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

OKay here is what is up! I just installed my 2-12inch NS v1, and powering them is 2-saz2500 all wired to 2ohms! (subs wire to 4ohms and then wired in parallel to each other to drop the load to 2ohms) now with my last setup it was a single 15inch NS v1 d1 wired in parellel to get a 2ohm load! this isn't the last box but close enough to what it all looked like. now back ground, with the single 15inch first I set it via dmm, then used and oscope to set my gains and then clamped it and realized that i was making about 2400rms on a 6~ohm load on a burp. which was good enough to get me a 145.5 db on burp out of the old setup. now here is the issue with the 2-12s installed a…

just wondering what kind of power and features you are planning for the other line, and what they might look like?

i was always wondering about this lol...how did you come up with the name? any reason or meaning to it, or were u just in the sun looking down and decided to name it that or something ahhah :bigclap:

Does the NEO 8 have a typical PA sound or will it make me happy when I dont want my ears to bleed? Also will the mags fit in a 6.5" hole or will I do them injustice(dont want to cut metal). Will there be a big difference in the 8" or the soon to be 6.5" ? SQ and output wise? itchy to get started Thanks

Second time ever on a meter First time ever competing and I won first in Street C with 145.9. I got there early this morning and was in the lane qualifying within ten minutes of being there. They gave me a CD and I started at 32hz and just went up 3 tracks at a time within 30 seconds until I got to 48hz. I am still not sure where I peak but 48hz was the only track I played on my other 3 runs. Thanks to Sundown Jerry for his advice. Gear: 2 15 Sundown Nightshades 1 SAZ1500 at .5 ohm 1 Powemaster D2400 1 MLA module 145.9 and I think I got more if I can get some meter time to test.

I went to Sicnick Yesterday / Pulled into the lane and burped a 151.5db 2x 15" Pap Wmd^2 subs 2x Sundown SAZ 3000z amps 1 MLA controller boxx laying down / subs up^^ ports back<< / Under the window line / using the G@y@ss Hampsterball-mic holder Voltage never dropped below 14.7 took 1st place in my class / 600-1800stock beat a a lot of guys with more subs etc etc etc i lent the LB MOAB XxX to my Friend Trevor / he took 1st place also 0-600 with a 143.4db / using a lil Memphis 1000d amp and only the stock Battery & alt

Just looking to find out since I cannot easily see it posted already anywhere... If I get (2) SAX-1200Ds and link them together, what kind of output would I be looking at?? Mainly looking to find out if it is 2ohm stable if linked as well.. Thanks for any help fellas..

I have a Saz1500v.2 that I bought here off SSA less than a year ago. Well last night I noticed my sub just quit playing. After looking at it the red "protection" light is on and it just stays that way. Weird thing is I was actually listening to music on a normal mid level, gain remote knob all the way down and purposely trying to not really hear the sub because I was listening to a rock song trying to adjust my mids. Then when I went to add the sub back in it just wasnt there. I thought the knob was broke but I guess not. Amp was cold to the touch when it stopped working. What can I do from here. Thanks

I finally got my saz2000d and 4 - sa-8's installed today. You can see my build log on this forum if you like. This is in a 2000 ford ranger. I've installed a db electrical 200 amp alt. I've run a 1/0 cable from the alternator to the battery. I was planning on replacing the battery in the truck soon, when it went bad I bought the cheapo 500 cca for $35.00 about a year ago. I have 4 - runs of 1/0 flex cable from the battery to the rear of the truck. 2 of those runs (pos./neg.) are for the 2000d. The 4 sa8's are ( coils in series ) woofers parallel to amp. 1 ohm. 3.2 c.f. (net) enclosure tuned to 32 hertz. My problem is the amp goes into protection when there's a quick/short…

I woke up, and sitting in my dining room ( my little brother brought my delivery in) was 2 boxes. And the other box was the first half of my wiring order.

Well, I finally got around to getting some meter time since there is a local USACi show approaching next weekend. I had never gotten around to testing the new Nightshade v.2's ever since I bought them....I just pulled the Z's out the box and put the Shades in. Before, with the Z's, my best was a 154.9 at 47 Hz I did back in July at Scrapin' the Coast. I've had one show since then and pulled a 154.7 with the Nightshades at the same frequency with a bad windshield. Yesterday after sweeping, I was expecting to see a pretty similar peak frequency when the Z's were in there (approx. 47 Hz)......not the case. I was VERY surprised to see that my new peak is now at 34 Hz! This i…

Every time i start up my car, the sundown starts up but then goes straight into protect. I have the SAZ3K. I used an additional head unit to make sure it wasn't the signal. Without the RCAs plugged in and without the speaker wires plugged in it still did this. Here is a picture of the only thing i could find WRONG internally in the amp. Its also really loose when you go to touch it. Thanks for the help, Curt

Hello all. I have a 2007 Kia Sportage with 2 Nightshade Dual 2 ohm 15's powered by a Sundown SAZ 3000D amplifier. I have the Big3 done and everything is deadened except the roof. That will be done with Damplifier Pro in the near future. I have 2 Optima Yellowtop D-34 Batteries in back for the amp and a smaller yellowtop under the hood. Here is a pic of the setup. I turn my subwoofer box up and get better numbers. My best to date is 149 Sealed on the dash. All I want is one more DB. I would appreciate anybodies input on how to gain 1 more db.

My new 15" Nightshades were delivered yesterday and I am quite happy with them already! Thanks a bunch Jacob! Sorry if I came off a little anxious... but I was anxious lol Gonna be working them in over the next few days to loosen them up a bit for the show this friday Happy like a little kid in the candy aisle. Happy to represent Sundown, I'll do my best! Time to Break them in! Still have tons to do before the enclosure is finished but here is what it looks like with NIGHTSHADES!! Rubber gaskets are just laying on top of the subs in this pic.. still have to get the tnuts in.
