Sundown Audio

I just bought me a SAZ3000D and getting an odd 'problem' with it... everytime i turn if off, i have to wait around 2mins before i can turn it back on.. if i turn it on too soon, the protection mode keeps kicking in.. is this normal??

Okay guys -- all the details have been finalized on the SA-15s so we started production today. ETA is roughly the end of November for these to arrive. As always with a pre-order there is the chance for delays so please keep that in mind -- pre-orders are final and there will be no refunds for delays. SA-15 Prototype Photos : Specifications : FS : 30.9 Hz Qts : 0.60 Qes : 0.66 Qms : 6.12 VAS : 92.7 L Mms : 308.4 g Box Suggestions : Sealed @ 2.5 cubes (Qtc = 0.888) - F3 of 42 Hz Ported @ 3.0 cubes tuned to 35 Hz - F3 of 30 Hz Some Testing : * 150.1 dB sealed on the dash with ~4200 watts clamped power... did not damage the woofer. This box is not optimal for the SA-15…

SAX-1200D : Sold out - more due in 3-4 weeks. SAZ-1500D v.2 : Sold out - ETA pending. SAZ-4500D : Sold out and discontinued. We have opted to cease production on the 4500D now that stock is depleted. ANNOUNCEMENT : The 4500D is stepping down as our flag-ship amplifier to be replaced by a new, more powerful unit... the "NS-1" -- more details to follow.

I did some early prototyping around this time last year on some mid-level sets and they were quite good, IMO... I decided to re-evaluate them a bit based on the listening I've had with them since that time. I received the first early prototype of the new mid-level set a few days ago and I will be replacing the 2011 prototypes in my car with these soon. The biggest change is the cone material... for a set like this that crosses over higher I prefer a paper base vs. the composite base (woven material) that the other set utilized. The set is NOT done as I plan to modify the frame on the mid as well as the motor ventilation. There will be no fancy eye-candy to the set -- very…

Yes... that is 8 MORE amps you see behind the glass -- 16 total amps More pics after finals!

if you havent seen the build log...... yup cramming 3 nightshade 18s into a Cavalier!!!! was VERY close to not fitting like i had originally planned but it worked out

started on the rebuild thought i would post. this is going to be my new SQ build, hoping its going to sound good. parts list sundown saz-3000D sundown sax-100.2 2 runs of KCA Kable 1/0 Ultra Fleks Blue CCA Power Cable 50' spool 2 Karma SS 2 Channel 6 Meter RCA Cable's a set of Polk Audio MMC6500

It will be on it's way to me soon for testing of performance and final specs... also production costs should come in soon so I'll be able to get a cost to customer price shortly :thumbsup: On to the photos of it all put together !

This my new setup: 3-Sundown SAE1200D's 3-12" T3 Audio TSS's 2-Kinetiks 2000's in the rear 1-RedTop under the hood And it doesn't sound that good to me. I did have 2 Fi SSD 10's on 1 1200D and this doesn't sound much better.....I don't know what to do next.......any suggestions?

I selected a SA-8 as a Demo sub for my community. It happens that the majority have small cars, children, & want to save some trunk space shopping. also they listened to a wide genre not just rap. overall they want to hear nice sounding bass (quality more than output). Can someone advised me ideas and experince using an SA-8 for SQ applications. so far my design is to used 1 3 inch aeroport on 1cu/ft net box on 30hz. it will be powered by saz-1500 at 2ohms If you have any ideas & experience on this kind of appilcication. feel free to let me know before I start. Thanks!

* Top Left : SAE-75.2 * Top Right : SAE-50.4 * Bottom: SAZ-3000D * Same as above Just in a few minutes ago...

* 2 3/16" mounting depth - 2.1875" * Compact neo cup motor * Shallow paper cone with inverted rubber surround * Very compact basket ----- This driver has a full 8mm one-way linear excursion in a 2 3/16" deep package. Still in prototype phase... may add even more extensive shorting rings to the motor for production, pending listening tests in a vehicle. Not a fancy "looking" driver - all business in the shallowest package possible. Un-matched for linear excursion in this depth as far as I am aware. Oh yah - no ETA here guys, still in testing phases - and no, I don't have any prototypes to sell and I am not sending this one around

* More fins added to the side. * The main change, 10mm added height to add fins under the face. * Mirrored part number so that when you flip the "Sundown Audio" bar it looks the same as before. --- There we go Eventually the whole SAX and SAZ line will have this case.

The current model Nightshade is officially discontinued. We used the last brand new motor in stock today. This is how the Sundown Audio line will look soon : Z series v.2 = 1500-watt RMS model * ETA is 6-8 weeks Nightshade v.2 = 2000-watt RMS model * ETA is mid 2010 (maybe sooner) Both of these new drivers will feature several new technological advancements compared to the Nightshade v.1 to improve power handling and output per watt (efficiency). We will also be offering a spider option with double up tinsel leads for folks that like to run amps at 1/2 ohm daily. I won't release a whole bunch of details just yet. I will let the testing speak for itself when they are avail…

This part is a spacer / shorting ring / heat-sink for the Z v.2 model. These are made right down the street from us here in Troutman, NC at a family owned machine shop. Great guys down there... they also did our aluminum Nightshade v.1 pole plugs. Just got these in... testing so far has not included them but they will be standard on production models. A few pictures : Should I powder coat them or leave them raw aluminum color ?

Just got off the phone with my local machine shop... looks like they can make the copper tube I need @ 75mm long x 74mm ID x 76mm OD Also looks like I can get a 77mm diameter coil former from Precision... and that I have a nifty motor here already in stock with a 40mm tall top plate. Can anyone guess what I'm doing ? Hint : When I'm done with the first one it's going in my daily driver.

I have a replacement candidate for the SAE-1000D... same build house as the upcoming SAE-1200D model. I would call this the SAE-800D model. Here is the question... how many people buy the SAE-1000D for the small form factor? The current SAE-800D prototype is the same size as the SAE-1200D (as big as the SAZ-1500D). It would cost less than the current SAE-1000D but is substantially bigger - it's just not as compact of a PCB design. The benefit is that it has an even beefier design so all the components are even less taxed than the already super reliable SAE-1000D. The new build house doesn't like the idea of making a small form factor amp - it is not something they are use…

Hey Guys. I set a new World Record in NSPL Truck/SUV 1801-3600 Watt Class. 152.1Db@49Hz and 3157 Clamped watts. Team Nemesis Derrick filmed my record run. Enjoy.

We're working on a new build for the Excursion. 16 Sundown Audio sa-12s powered by 4 saz-3500s. Box sketch Close up of ports. Three 8" custom flared ports. Cutting the wood Laminating. The entire box will be at least two layers thick. Three & four layers in certain places. Starting the router work for the ports. I call this pic Cock & Balls. Lots more work to do. I barely got started on the port work. No where near done with that piece & I have two more identical pieces to build. Stay tuned...

Just got back from the show... Sundown took a 1st and a 2nd place today. Justin Davidson in No-Wall 24 - 48 inches: 4x 12" Konaki Subs 4x SAZ-1500Ds 3x Powermaster D3100s 1x Powermaster 200-amp alternator 150.5 dB * 1st place for the day in this class * We installed / built this whole system yesterday ---- Jacob Fuller (me) in Wall 1201 - 2400 amps: 4x SAZ-3000Ds 4x RE MT 18s 8x Powermaster D3100s 1x DEKA Intimidator 2x Powermaster 200-amp alternators 158.2 dB * 2nd place for the day in this class * I could have entered in 401 - 1200 but will be added 4 more amps so decided to start getting point for the 1201 - 2400 class now. Big Poppa (Jeff) beat me today with 162 dB

i bought this chevy asto last june. this demo car will join the Manila Auto Salon 2008 @ SM Mall Of Asia and IASCA IDBL on Nov. 2008 this is the one responsible for my car paint and airbrush astroboy make over. what's this??? sundown and fi logo DC and FI logo(that's me on the right)

Yep... you read that correctly. Big bad boy 200x4 Class A/B amps with full SAX-100.4D style crossovers. Stable to 1 ohm mono / 2 ohms bridged... can power a whole system. These things are MASSIVE... I know the trend is for small amps but I like big amps, and so do alot of people still These are not made for typical daily installs... they are made for BIG builds! * It is actually larger than an SAZ-3500D. * Another shot vs. SAZ-3500D ----- Before anyone asks... there is no ETA, I don't know when I'm going to open a pre-order, and pricing is not 100% set. I do expect pricing to be about like the SAZ-2000D, though... give or take.

Pre-Sale price is $350 on these until they arrive in around 4 weeks. Pre-Sale is direct from Sundown only - once they arrive the pre-sale will be over and they will be regular priced at $499 MSRP. Price is shipped in the continental 48 states, e-mail for otherwise. PAYPAL to [email protected] to order - no quantity limits! Or mail a money order / cashiers check to: Sundown Audio 151 Rebel Hill Dr Mooresville, NC 28115 If you mail a money order be sure to include a note with your name, shipping address, e-mail, and phone number. This is estimated time for delivery (4 weeks), could be more or less - but this is a great deal on these amps to those with patience! Full…

First off, I hooked up the power wire and ground wrong. Power wire in the ground slot, ground in power slot (yeah i fail hardcore). I had the speakers wires hooked up and the RCAs, and remote wire. Not sure if this caused the problem, but definitely a good possiblity i believe There's a hiss coming from my speakers when i have the volume all the way down, and i can faintly hear distortion when the speakers are playing. I regrounded the HU (a 9887), checked the ground on the amp, they're fine. I switched RCAs and the hiss/distortion was still there. I had some cheap RCAs that have a 1/8" jack on the other side, so i took those and hooked them up and hooked my Ipod dire…
