Sundown Audio

  1. Started by ALL4SPL,

    Been looking around not many people make a beefy 6.5 woofer, which could be used for many different purposes. Myself I am working on just a random project of (2) 6.5 woofers in a ported enclosure for my garage. But would love to see some Sundown 6.5s I could get for my office to replace my huge sub that takes up too much room. So any chances this has been thought about or being worked on?

    Got my first prototypes in for the v.3 revision of the SA-8 -- it took quite a bit of consideration to figure out how to make some improvements to the design but I think we are on the right track : * Newly tooled surround with an improved shape / slightly bigger overall size... this is a new shape I have been testing with for a while that is a bit more linear than the old shape. It allows a small but noticeable amount of extra throw. * We removed the vent ring to reduce the total depth by 10mm -- since this reduces the cooling capability a bit we added gap vents (next photo). I did use appropriately sized drilled vent holes to maintain a degree of pressure in the un…

    My current set up is (1) 15" nightshade off a 3000d @ 1 ohm. So 3000 watts daily. I know it handles the power easily, but with the warmer weather comin I am afraid I am going to hurt it because I like to ride windows down music up. Should I get the (2) 12"s or do you think I'm good with my current set up?Obviously (2) 12" subs would be more cone area than (1) 15" sub, so that alone would get me louder. I am mainly concerned about running 3000 watts to this sub to much and frying it!!

    So guys i am new to sundown audio. A friend told me about the SA-8 so i thought i would give them a try. I just ordered 2 dual 4 ohm for a 1 ohm load on my hifonics brutus 1200.1. But any ways long story short i had a cool box design i wanted to try but not to sure on how to calc. the box volume and needed port length for a 35hz tune. So i put together a little paint shop quick drawing to get some input. Plz no bad comments about the drawing i know its crap but its just an idea of what i am looking for.

    I convinced my son's friend into ordering a SA 12 However he wants to put it into his existing sealed box that is ~1.65 ft^3. I know the recommended sealed size is 1 ft^3. What effect will this have? Any less power handling, less sound quality (yes he was looking for sound quality:-), etc. Thanks for your help.

    Well i have finally gotten around to installing my saz2000d to power my 15inch NS at 1ohm! and let me tell you! it is loud!! Something i did notice though was with the sae1200 i would have a voltage drop of like 14.4-12.8 on the money and that was with the amp set with a dmm at 60hz at 1000rms. But with this 2000 in my trunk i get voltage drops of 14.4-12.8volts and that is set around 2000rms at 1ohm! also i was monitoring my voltage drop with a stinger voltmeter and the car was at idle which is about 750rmp. so i don't know i s12.8 good? should i upgrade my stock alt? right now i have 2 batcap 2000s in the rear and the big 3 done and that is it for upgraded electrica…

    this is supposed to be a top of the line amp and im so unsatisfied right now. well of course it hits really hard and most likely has the ability to kill my subs but still for being a top of the line amp it has a problem. like i honestly thought since it was described by so meny to be the best, i thought it would not have any problems. The amp works fine i know but thats not what im pissed about... MY BASS KNOB LED DONT WORK!!! like come on mr fuller. jesus... haha im just kidding, great product, and i was just wondering if the led on the remote was a common problem.

I'm wondering because I just bought a SAX-1200D amp and I was going to get the SA-15 but now I'm unsure what to get. I'm looking to move some air.. Thanks in advance.
