Sundown Audio

Wish me luck. I have been so busy at work this week that I just started rebuilding last night. Still got to hook up my amps and batteries then its time to test. I have 9 people in my M2 class and 5 in my DB2 class. If the build comes out as good as I hope I should be bringing home a couple of six ft trophies.

This might be a dumb question but I'll go ahead and ask. I was tuning my 1200d for the first itme this morning and before I could reach the 35v suggested voltage with the DMM, the amp started making a faint popping, buzzing sound. My target volume is 21/35 and the noise appeared at about 13/35. The noise went away as I turned it down. I'm running 1/0 gauge from front to db block and a run of 4 ga for 5' to the amp. BTW, no db gain was used and the remote gain was at 1/2 with susbsonic set a 28hz a x-over set at 1/2 as stated in manual. Anyone experience this before?

Kit I am planning on buying: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-PK0 What fuse size shall i need to buy?

Having troubles setting the gains on my SAE-1000D, i'm hooking it up to an SSA Icon 15" into a 1ohm load and am not quite sure that the DMM should read. I've visted a couple of sites and one person said that the volts should be at 31.6 but that is way to low. Was wondering if anyone could give some incite into this. Thanks.

I know the sax-100.4 can handle 10-16v but what about a lil above that. lets say from 17-18v. Im trying to run my whole system all on 16v eliminating the extra 1/0 wire running from under the hood and adding to the 16v charging system. thanx in advance

As of today i finally have 99% of my wiring finished for my second externally regulated alt. Im going to get a volt meter of some sort so i know exactly where I'm sitting at voltage wise at all times (just in case the knob is bumped or any other unforseen issues) So for the next week or so im going to have a very small fuse on both the alt wire and amp wires just to be extra safe. I was just wondering how many of you guys are running the 3000d at 16v (18.8)? and if there's any thing i should know? I'm trying to be as cautious as possible to make sure nothing goes wrong but i thought id ask for advice from the experts

Hi guys my name is Joey aka ronrico41I8. Wanted to go with the Sundown guys about this as I figure you'd have the best ideas considering familiarity with this product. Just purchased a SAZ-3000D that I plan on using w/Fi subs. I plan on purchasing a 100.4 and 100.2 in the near future. I would like to get away with using 4-6 batteries as my ride should be bagged in January and I need room for the air tank and enclosure. I would like a high voltage electrical sytem that can get me 5000 watts out of this baby. Is this possible? What is the highest voltage system I can use on a vehicle that is driven just several times a month. Whip is a 1988 Chevy S10 Blazer with V8 …

I could not hold up the daily driver of Sundown in the netherlands. If you can see its a little peugeot 206 sw. i need the space and i need the bass. Lots of family cars overhere struglle to get there wifes over the edge for a good install . I just made a amp floor and its a inch of space higher then original. 2x 1500 v.1 and a 100.4 aktive on the DDA compo in front. A DDLE factory box and a nice SA 10 inch woofer. In the front a xs power 60 ah. db drag style tl on the window Wish me luck to sell a lot of Sundown overhere.

Hey guys new to the audio system game looking to do my first build starting after the new year. I'm look to get a 98 4 door blazer and looking to go with a 4th order design I have 2 sundown audio saz 2500d V2. My question is is the saz 2500d V2 enough power for Z v4 most likely looking at the 15s or should I upgraded to the saz 3500d yall thoughts would be greatly appreciated

hey guys I tried posting in the fab section about my box, but figured I'd post here as well considering this is the board ive been reading for the past year. but anywho, last summer i came across a fellow on here from saskatoon,SK which happens to be where im from, said he would build me a box, but i just didnt have the dough at the time....just hopeing he's still here. I think he had an oilers logo as his avatar. but if not could someone pleeeeeease hook me up with a design/blueprint for my 2 12" r's off a 1500D @1ohm. Ive searched the web, but didnt really come up with anything I trust.

Well I guess ill start off by saying.....:thumbsup: Thumbs up Jacob on another HomeRUN id say. Just when we was all too believe SA was arguably the best bang for the buck sub out there....you come out with something that trumps it in price, and in my eyes....doesnt lose hardly any of the great qualities that we all loved about the SA. So when you pull it out of its packaging youre thinking, Hmmm...not …

they came in perferct condition Thanks to mark for great service ...

Alright so i get my sae 1200D and 12" fi bl installed saturday. drive around for 30 minutes and love it. stop to eat for about 45 minutes. when i come back and try to turn it on the sub makes a weird noise and the amp goes into protection mode. restart the car a couple of times and it does the same thing. take it to the place i got it installed and they rewire it and it still goes into protection and they hook up an alpine amp and the alpine works fine. so do i send it back? or is there some other way of fixing it?

So I have gotten my 2-SAZ2500(and they are strapped at 2 ohm) installed on my 2-NS v1 15inch subs. I know the gain isn't set 100% and i am using my gain knob. the gain on the amp is set 60% (that is the position of it) and the gain knob is set to about 3 clicks up... when my h/u is at 40/50 and a bass line plays for a good 30 seconds the bass cuts out and doesn't come back on until i reset my h/u? my first idea was it is going into protect to I looked back and nothing both light were blue...the only thing is maybe it flashed into protect and then back into normal really fast but then my question is when an amp goes into protect and when it comes out of protect shouldn't…

Sundown was in attendance big time today. Even Mr. Sundown himself came down to check it out. I hope you had fun and plan on coming down again. We're definately interested in doing a few shows up there in NC.

Yes... that is a big hole in the box. Yes... it did 148.3 dB SAZ-3000D @ 1/2 ohm. Nightshade 18" / 5 spiders / D1 Long Coil.

Of these 2 4 channel amps which would you get?

Our ETA is roughly the end of June on these; as always this can vary a bit based on parts supplier production times, transit times, customs times, etc. Based on our average shipping time that is our best estimate. That being said this pre-order will ONLY be open to the public until April 15th, 2013 -- OR until a given size / coil configuration sells 50% of the quantity being produced. I do not want to be out of stock instantly so we are running this much shorter than our other pre-orders. This pre-order is for the USA ONLY -- check with your distributor if you are outside of the USA; if you do NOT have a distributor in your country you can check with us. The below rates…

If you want a Nightshade now I have some used motors that I can build with new parts. Shipping within the 48 continental states by UPS Ground included : 12" - $425 15" - $450 18" - $475 Limited supply of used motors so let me know ASAP.

As some of you may know, I am the one who had the first pair of Nightshades delivered, thanks a whole lot Chad and Jacob. I've run into major financial problems and I need a little bit of room to breathe. My subs are the ones pictured in most of the earlier threads from Chad. The subs are still in mint condition and were only hooked up for a maximum of 3 weeks due to amp and now engine problems. I can post more pictures but as the title says, 15" Nightshade D2. PM for price team mates only. Thanks. -Matt

so there's a show this weekend. getting tired of everybody talkin stuff about my sundown audio stuff cause they never heard of the name. i need to change my setup so i can win this show. my box is about 3.3 with 3 of the dual 4 sa12s. i running a 3000d @ 2.6 i have two options. either port my box i already have to stay behind the third row. or flip the seats up and build a 6 cube ported box just for the show. if i port my box i already have how high would i need to tune it. i need a mid 140's for this weekend. last show they held guy won it with a 139 or something. and i might add he had 4 15s in a box not tuned for the speakers. also would it be safe to wire it in par…

need specs b/c im designing a box for my 2 10's and dont have them here at college. so i need the depth of the sub and the cut out diameter. and also i plan on porting them and tuning them to 28hz. what is the recommended volume of the box for each sub at that frequency? i know it states 1.00 - 1.25 ft^3 @ 30 - 35 Hz Ported on the 10". but what is the optimal for this situation? thanks

what ohm load is it safe to burp (2) SAZ3000D's strapped w/ a Maxxlink? Right now, resting load is .8ohms - we have (6) 16V batteries that rest @ 17.4 and are @ 20.8 when fully charged. Would the amps go into protection? Thanks...

So after I was quoted two days to get get it done... and them taking three days... I finally got my car back. Only having the car a couple hours, so far these JL Audio 8W7's are fantastic! Very solid and far louder than I expected. From Kid Rock to Jay-Z, the subs great and clean. Very pleased! The best part is the Image Dynamics components. These get crazy loud and a simply amazing. Plenty of mid bass and the highs are crisp. I don't have enough time in the car with this system yet, but I'll work on adding different styles of music. Too early for a review. Here are the pics! Nevermind that one of the amps is crooked. I guess I should take it back to have it fixe…
