Sundown Audio

Just wondering... How come this amplifier isn't listed on the Sundown website? At least I cannot find it... Maybe I'm too drunk to notice but it seems like it is missing...

My son and I are building an enclosure for a single SA-8 for a school project (much cooler than a birdhouse!) I've built several enclosures growing up, mostly either a medium size sealed or a large ported. I've never been that concerned about the math, just did my best and if it sounded bad just build another. Now that I'm older, I care more lol. Anyway, down to the nitty gritty. Looking at either a slot port box or an external aero port in around a .6-.8 net enclosure. I've looked at several calculators and the such, but looking for real world to double check before we start putting something together. For a slotted box, it comes out to a .8 net with a vent dimension …

Has anyone tried the Sa-12 's in a 4 order bandpass ? What kind of number? I'm thinking of trying 3 in a 4 order. Can anyone design this type of setup?

I scored a 99 Suburban without the 3rd row and would like 4 SA18's to put into it The plan right now is 4 SA15's but I really want some 18's Jacob, any info would be great, whether they are or not so that I can start moving foward. Slamology is here in June and I gotta be busting heads by then.

SA 12 swap out from Treo TSX - SMD Forum Originally posted by kr15 on my SMD Forum : (All italics text posted by kr15) Summary : 1.2 dB up with the SA-12 ----- Well I have an SA 12 in the mail from Jacob. I am currently running a Tsx at 2ohm on a MBQ 1500d, so 800rms or so. The Treo is in an optimal box for TSX specs. The SA will also be in an optimal box. This is in a trunk car...When sub gets here and after I break it in some, I will post numbers from the swap. Both subs will have recieved 800rms, and both subs will have been in enclosures made to specs so I feel the comparison is pretty fair. The TSX is only rated at 400rms, but thats a joke. It has a 2.5inch c…

I got a Saz-1000 in the wife's car runinng a Nightshade 15" V1 @ .05 . She does really well in Streetspl 600-1200 watt class (141.7 center of dash on music). There are a few people running the Aq-1200 and they give her a hard time and we where wondering if it would be a worth the extra money to go to the Sax-1200. We want to keep her in that class so we can't go with anything bigger then 1200 watts. And being a Team Sundown Member I'm not willing to put any else in her car but Sundown. Has anyone clamped the power of the 1200? Is there a a head to head test of the two?

Just picked up a used sae1200d from kevin s. I am in love with this amp. Never never never has my sub sounded this good. It's incredible. Excellent build quality. I'll post a full review once I get a couple of days of playing in. But for now, great product Jacob. A little dated or not, I dont think I'll be straying from sundown anytime soon.

Can someone design me a box for a nightshade v2. Thanks

I'm looking to purchase a btl18 fully loaded "daily" I listen to mainly hip hop and I want a sub that poundes will this amp be a good match up with the btl 18?

I need some help designing the best box possible for daily. I want the box to be tuned about 33. And this is the space I have to work with - Width - 38, Height 13, Depth 36. I sill did not order the sub yet as I still am not sure on what sub to get. My plans are a 15" nightshade, a sundown 2500d (already own), dc alternator all going in a 2003 Mercury Sable. Any comments or suggestions on my future build would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello SSA, I was pulling my woofers out to look at like I do every once in awhile since they aren't installed yet, and I noticed (not for the first time, but was reminded) that one has the cooling ring with "Sundown Audio" incribed and the other does not. (It has three holes which I assume are for the same purpose) I was wondering if that would cause problems later down the road or if it significantly affects power handling? I've been meaning to Email Jacob but haven't gotten to it, and I know that'll probably be everyone's answer but I just wanted to ask here. Thanks in advance. EDIT: A little background info. One was bought sometime in...October I think from Woofersetc.…

Lots of things going on around here have resulted in an e-mail backlog again. Started around the 14th of January -- some e-mails scattered around from then until now need responding. So if you are waiting thanks for the patience and I'll catch up as soon as I can.

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

decided to try an sa15 out powered by channels 3 and 4 bridged on my 200.4. 900-1000 watts roughly. this box is 3.8 cube after displacement with a single 6" aero 17.5" long tuned to 31ish hz lol. 17x31x17 is the dimensions. not shooting for huge numbers just wanted to throw something in my gas saver daily driver. 1991 civic hatch behind the seats. so ill still have full function of my rear seats. eventually ill buy a round over bit to round over all the edges but right now this is where its at. not sure how long ill be using the box cuz im sure someone local will decide to buy it just like every other box i seem to build haha.

just bought a 98 Lincoln towncar and getting a temp system with a small footprint to keep trunk space. the car has a huge trunk but I only want to utilize the back deck portion of the trunk which measures 44w by 13h by 16 deep(could go deeper)... gives me about 4.24 cubes. any ideas or feedback is appreciated

what would be louder 3 sa-8s in 1.8-2.0 cubes @ 35hz with 500 to each sub or 1 sa-15 in 3 cubes @ 35hz with 900-1200watts this will be in a 850 wagon subs up port back. trying to go for numbers and sound ok

woofersetc_outlet has nightshade v2 for sale. http://cgi.ebay.com/NIGHTSHADE-V2-SUNDOWN-AUDIO-SUB-15-DVC-2-OHM-SUBWOOFER-/110593096169?pt=Car_Subwoofers_Enclosures&hash=item19bfdcb9e9 Anything wrong with buying from them?

When will the Sundown Nightshade v.2 be in ssa's store?

Here are some vids of my nightshade 18". I have a autotek mm4000.1 now(videos are with ap3000). Im wired @ 2ohms, after rise it see's 6 ohms, with 2400 watts. I did 150.7@42hertz, at the headrest. This was done at meca world finals. Comments appreciated, just wanting to see what people think. And here's a tiny hairtrick, not bad for a single sub.

I currently have a pair of SQ XBL^2 10s in 2.4 ft^3 tuned to 32hz. They're being fed right around 500w a piece. They sound great and have decent output but I find myself wanting a bit more. I have experience with mostly SQ subs (IDQ, AA Avalanche, TC2, etc)... how would the SA-10s compare? They'd be used in the same box, with the same power.

I have breifly looked but can some please tell me how to wire my saz1500 v2 to my FI 2ohm sub for a 1ohm load. Also does it matter which way the rca's are in? (They are not colored red and white on the amp) Pics would be awesome. I know these may be dumb questions but its the last thing for me to do.

i have a 98 eclipse and i am tring to decide if i should run 4 sa-10's on 2 1500d's or 2 ns 10's on 2 3500d's wondering which would be louder to the ear what do you guys think and i know you wont know untill its put in and tried just wondering about basic assumptions and what kind of opinions i might get

Ok. I ordered a Sundown Audio SA-10 Sub. Had it hooked up to a Alpine Pdx-1.600 mono amp. Was getting this rattling/slapping noise from the sub at all volumes and all gain but of course it was less severe the lower the volume/gain but was still present. I thought maybe i could have received a bad sub so i got it exchanged. I originally ordered a dual 4 ohm and got a dual 2 ohm which was not too bad since i could still use it but the replacement i received is a dual 4ohm and does not fit in my box. The dual 2 ohm did but the dual 4ohm does not. No idea why the impedance would make a difference on depth. Got the new sub in today and it still makes this noise. I am starting …

i was wondering if u could help me out sundownz... i am trying to find the depth of a sundown e8 v1 from the top of the surround to the bottom of the magnet. i am doing a stealthy build and depth is a big restriction. thanx in advance
