Someone has to take care of things while I'm away : ... and his wicked awesome tool set that I got him for Christmas has an accurate plastic caliper with it so he can measure the gaps, coils, etc

Merry Christmas everyone

We are operating on an e-mail, phone, orders, and everything delay right now... currently installing new phone system, new computers, network devices, etc... so slowing down anything computer related. Also have several big shipments coming in starting today and for the next week... then pre-order shipping will commence. This will take up ALOT of time. So please be patient during this time as we will be *extremely* busy.

Ok, just bought a new car and my ported box does not fit. So I need to make a new one. I have a 2008 Civic SI coupe. What I am wondering is speaker/port placement. I am use to SUV's and sub up / port back. I have read with a trunk that sub back / port back is the way to go. Just asking to make sure before I buy the material and build this box. Also, I see that SA 12's are 1.5 to 2.0 for ported boxes. With 1.75 being on there spec sheet. I have 1250 watts to push 2 12's and was wondering. Would it be better to go 1.5 / 1.75 / or 2? And what hz would you recommend? Currently the box I have is 3.5 @ 32hz and sounds ok with JL 12w3's in it. I am playing 70% rap/bass cd…

Since the new SAZ-1500d v2 does not have any fuses inside or outside of the amplifier, what is the suggested size for the in line fuse?

Purchased two D2 SA-12's about 6 months ago or so. The guy I bought them from bought them in Jan or Feb this year (2010) and they were re-coned with aluminum coils. I've just recently got a new amp and had everything completed then one crapped out on me. One coil is reading 2ohms, the other is around 2.8 and fluctuates. I'm just really disappointed this happen as I never put too much power them then, could it just be a result of a bad recone in the past? I'd like to get this back up and running asap. Thanks for any info

I just recieved (1) 1500d v.1 and (1) 1500d v.2 last night. Looking at each of them they look exactly the same and I can not tell which is which. How can I tell? and can the two be strapped together? If not I still have another v.1 so no worries.

all amplifiers are we? You can get detailed photos, and all data sheets in order to update our catalogs?

Any amp kit suggestions for the 1500D v.2?? Thinking of going with a knukonceptz kit don't know which one though. Any other suggestions? P.s. running 2 Fi SSD12s with it.

All, I posted recently looking for assistance with a box build for (2) SA-10's. If you guys have a chance, please comment with some suggestions. Bandpass box for (2) SA-10's Thanks

So mr anton did a little vid of his car flexing with alonly 2 sa-12s hehe...... with this box the car does 148s@32hz.... enjoy!

Hey guys, Almost all of them shipped as of today -- just letting you all know !

Well, my friend said he wants more boom for his stock ass Mini. Man the thing has a horrid stock stereo, and it's too complicated to get an aftermarket stereo. He wanted an 8" sub, or a 10", so I showed him the SA-8. Should I build a box with .65cuft after dicplacement at 32hz? He listens to variety of different genres. I plan on running an in-line-converter to the amp later on. Thanks!

I have a sax 100.4 running my front stage components but the question is im running my fi q off of the rear channels just to get me by for the months is this ok? i have the sub bridged and im wondering about how much power is going from the amp to the sub? the sub sounds good but i think the woofer is moving weird maybe unloading of something what could cause this?

So our warehouse is fairly empty right now -- but we have all sorts of inventory coming into stock within the next two weeks or so! We are working hard to prepare for it as there will be a TON of shipping going on. Hopefully the Holiday season doesn't delay delivery for too many folks who put in pre-orders -- I think it will probably take us a full 5 or 6 work days to get all of the pre-orders out to everyone once everything arrives; I am planning to work late as well during those days to speed it up as much as possible... currently expecting our shipments to be in around December 12th to 15th (of course this could change but we'll keep you guys up to date). Most of the S…

Promised I would show some pictures... we got some of our SA shipment yesterday (8s, 10s, 12s, E8s) and it showed up in a nice container with no pallets. So we had alot of fun unloading * First thing we saw - exciting, right ? * Does it end ?! * My view from inside... I was in the container the whole time tossing boxes to the other guys * Expanding dramatically when it came out of the container *laughs* Had to stand back this far to get them all in the picture. We shipped all the E8 v.2 pre-orders today and SA-15 pre-orders will start going out on Monday. DO NOT e-mail me asking when your specific SA-15 order will go out -- the answer is as soon as we possibly can sh…

Hey guys, I bought some E8s a long time ago and haven't had time to install them in a vehicle yet. I'm looking to build a ported box for two of them and was using a calculator online to help me figure out how big to make the port. The box is for two E8s (they displace .03 ft3 each right?) and I'm trying to build it so each sub gets .6 ft3 of airspace and the port is tuned to 30 hz (like the sundown website recommends). I can get the internal dimensions right at 1.2 ft3 (a little more actually to accommodate the displacement of the sub) but the port is only a 2"x2" square 8" long. Does that seem right? Could I make it 1"x4" rectangle or even .5"x8"? Or would that caus…

got a couple NSv2 15" d1's, built the box and would like some input on amp selection (Sundown as im a new dealer). We running Street Beat 4 (unlimited alt, bat, amp... across the board). Box is 3ft^3 per sub and tuned to about 55hz, (subs and amp on same plane) bed cut into a single cab silverado. My question is i guess is what can i put to these things (within reason), money not being an option, 2500 per coil?? 4500 on each one??? if we use 45's should we dual alt? goal is 156db, which sould be easily obtainable, imo might get close to 160 with the luck we've had lately (outlaw rules, i can post legal #'s too)

ik some of you nightshade guys out there have had to do a recone, so instead of blowing up jacobs email, i figured i would ask you. what did u use for shims when you did your recone? also, what kind of glue do u recommend? i have read that i can just use some 15 minute epoxy, the stuff that self mixes. or should i use ca glue? thanx for the help.

will my saz-1000d xcon be ok powering my xcon? and when i wire to 1oh do i just put the + and - into the B speaker side?

The SAZ-3500D is the successor to our extremely popular SAZ-3000D model. It is not only more powerful but even more reliable than the SAZ-3000D based on years of research in the SPL lanes and in the hands of regular customers. You will not find a better 3500-watt Class-D amplifier anywhere! Sundown Audio only recommends this amplifier for experienced users with an upgraded alternator and additional batteries due to the enormous power output potential. Hello Jacob, I have 4 XS Power D3100 as secondary batts and a Yellow Top under the hood and a DC Power 320 amp alternator (strongest the company makes for me) and both of my SAZ-3500Ds are going into protect when I compete.…

I am undergoing a rebuild, and took everything out of my truck to check on everything. After opening my amp I found this zip tie broken, I don't foresee any problems forming from not having it... but it had to be there for some reason. Will my amp be alright? Thanks!
