Sundown Audio

On the scv and saz amps what style crossover is used butterworth or linkwitz-riley ? Have never seen it said on sundowns specs.

Through them in a box I had laying around the shop yesterday. They are being powered by a pair of saz-3500s @ 0.5ohm each. Vid. Got my new box built today. It works MUCH better. Because I had to move the amps to the back of the truck my rcas weren't long enough. Using some y-splitters as a ghetto extension I was able to get one amp going. With only one saz-3500d @ 1ohm on both subs it hit a 149.1 on the TL. Did the same exact # playing some music too. More vids tomorrow.

What would be the best box for a Nissan 350Z, I can't decide whether to go with 2 SA8's or a single X8, I will be powering it with an Arc Audio 2500CXL which puts out a little over 1000 watts.

Sundown's website is not working for me and by searching I have found confliciting measurements.... So anyone know 100% what the cutout diameter is for an SA-12? Thanks.

Some pics from the latest production run that was recently on pre-order that is due end of July to first of August. These have all of the updates to date on the v.1 plus : 1) New slightly taller spacer ring with full Sundown logo (few mm extra for SPL burps) 2) New revised cast frame with better clearances They are compatible with other SA-8s made to date as these are still a v.1 model.

it was time for the MTs to go now time for the new <<<<<<NIGHTSHADES A big thanks to Jacob & Brandon for coming through ....

I made a Dual-1 8-layer aluminum SPL coil unit for Sean with an extra spider... FS was 59Hz after some break-in so NOT good for a daily application. Due to the new ultra linear spider we have to get the FS starting out closer to the burp frequency as we lack the shift in CMS that causes FS rise with a less linear spider. Best score to date of 152.4 "outlaw" style with 3kw clamped power -- the most we've ever put to an SA-8 to date. The sub was really only at about 1/2-2/3 stroke as well -- where the old SA-8s were hitting the triple joint on the top plate before this point. We are very pleased as Sean's car mysteriously lost around 2dB a while back and we've had to come u…

any one know what i should set my saz-3000D for at 1.5 ohm's? or just set it for a 2 ohm load?

Just wanted to say i cant wait !!! have one on the way and will be ordering the other sat really looking forward to getting some good subs !!

Any idea on how close a 5 channel amp is to becoming a production reality?

A few vids ...just messing around ....new one coming this week

Since my lvl 5 12s are out im making move im looking, at the team 12s, but I cant find many vids or users talking about it. Any one who has some experience with them please chime in box size, port area etc... thank you., im running a Ampere audio Tfe, Electrical is Dc270xp and juicebox Lithium battery.

WELL NOT REALLY! I just got my new toys in the mail and these sub are bigger than what i expected now all i have to do now is come up with a design...thanks Jacob Saz-3500D Sundown Z v.2 15's THANKS AGAIN JACOB! B.Ellis

im new to this forum but not new to car audio. ive done many installs in many types of cars trucks and suvs. i have installed sundown some times before and now im deciding on buying a pair of sa-8s. i drive a 95 dodge ram 1500 single cab that i just bought. currently i have 2 jbl p1224 12s in a downfiring box center console build in a 3.96 cubed box after compensation tuned to about 37 htz on 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm on a hifonics brutus amp. ive heard sundown sa 12s sound incredibly good and i just want to make sure im not going to lose any output by running two of these 8s from my two 12s that mount at 14 and 5/8s and weigh 33 lbs a peice. i guess i just want some clarit…

hey quick question can you run the 3000ds daily on a 16-18 volt system. i think jacob 4 3500ds on six 16 volts right, do u think that many batteries would be necessary with just the two 3000ds. also I can turn my voltage up to charge such a system.I see that the 4 channel that sundown makes only runs up to 16 volts will it hurt it at like 16.5 17.5. I figured it would just be cheaper to sell my yellow tops and switch to 16-18 volts and get more power from what I have. but I would also need a four channel that can run on such a system. (if there is one) what does anyone suggest.

So I got my 2500D, and I just realized that it doesn't have an internal fuse. So what to do? Fuse the + lead about a foot from the amp? Why doesn't it have a built in fuse anyway? Just wondering.

SAE-1500D Prototype - $200 shipped in the continental USA SOLD to fuzzyping! The heatsink on the prototype is not the heatsink that will be used for production and is one of two prototypes made in this case. This prototype does not make full rated power, but is good for around 1000 watts RMS @ 12.8 volts / 1200 watts RMS @ 14.4 volts into a 1 ohm load per my testing. The next revision of this prototype is under construction and will address the low power output as production models will easily meet their 1500 watt rating @ 13.8 volts (as all SAE amps are to be rated). This unit has 4 awg input terminals and 3x 40 amp fuses. ------ Unnamed Prototype - $250 shipped in the…

You told me that my SAE-1200D would not go "Thump" when powering down and you held true to that. Absolutely no noise what so every. It is perfect and for that, I thank you. BUT....as for the power rating I have to call BS. No way no how. I turned this thing on and it scared the chit out of me. I'm running two sealed 12" TC-9's and I thought they were going to fly out of the box. I had always felt happy with my Hifonics 1606D with it's 1600 watt rating but this 1200 puts it to shame. I was running the Hifonics at 3/4 gain and the 1200D is at 1/3 gain and I'm still turning my processor levels down. With my upgraded Alternator my voltage stays at 14.4 even at an idle so I k…

* 8, 10, 12, 15 left to right * 8 and 10 * 10 and 12 * 12 and 15 * Close-up of SA-10 cone / surround --- 15s are not yet available... likely will be around end of the year.

is it safe to run my sundown audio 2000d at i believe .5 ohm? i have 2 15'' fi btl's dual 2ohm subs,,, so i can wire them to .5 ohm... i have a 05 f150 , 1 optima yellow top , 0 gauge , big 3 , xs battery 900d and of course the 2000d... am i ' safe ' ??? im currently savingmoneys for a HO alt.. please help...

I bought 2 Sundown amps. One sax-100.2 and one sae-1200D. The 1st problem affects both amplifiers. Neither of the remote gain controls work. The blue led lights up on both but when you turn the dial it does nothing. Just so it's clear I set the gains on the amps 1st with a dmm then if I try and adjust it further in my cab with the remote gains nothing happens. The 2nd problem is with the sae-1200d. This amp is barely putting out any power at all. I have triple checked all my wiring and even hooked up an Infinity 600 watt amp to the subs I'm using to see if it does the same thing but it gets plenty loud with the infinity. If it makes a difference I have 2 10" dual 4ohms PG…

Looking into something that I'd be proud to put the "Sundown Audio" name on... and I think I may be on to it. I've been speaking to an engineer about doing a bigger power amplifier the way I think it should be done. How does 4000 watts @ 1 ohm @ 0.01% THD anywhere from 12v to 16v sound ? At a soft clip (eg: burp) up to 6500 watts at anywhere from 12v to 16v. MSRP would be around $1999 to $2199 or so for this bad boy. Would be about 33.5" long give or take... and accept dual 1/0 inputs. I may be testing a prototype by the end of the year. Don't ask about the ETA for production - it's a big project requiring a large investment so it's hard to say.

Just came in about an hour ago ! So they are now in full stock in 6.5 , 8 , and 10" models in 8 ohm and 4 ohm. * Included Speaker Caulk

ok, so i read the specs for the 1000d, and it says battery wire terminal, 0 guage, so i go on ebay and buy a 0 gauge amp kit. and then when i go to hook up my amp, the zero gauge wire is 1/3 to big, and i thought rockford fostage would be more accurate, maybe it was that , or maybe sundown made a mistake on my amp or somthing, i heard it was ok to take off wire to make it smaller, as long as you clean it up nice, and then electrical tape it, so that is how it stands now. my box isnt here yet. so i havnt ran it yet. all sugjestions are apreciated so much, this is my dream system and i dont want to fuk it up by jerry rigging it like that or somthing. thanks guys. kevin
