http://www.sundownaudio.com/ Now that it is live we'll be working to fill in much of the details missing from the old site regarding woofer specs. We decided to go ahead and take it live now to show the new photos of everything.

I compete on a regular basis, and was running the Massive Audio p3000.1 @ 2.3ohm to a single SoundStream T4 15" --- when the amp went into Protection ( coma ) and did not recover, so i sent it into the factory to check it out ! they said it blew a Cap and it wasent covered under the warranty, so they charge me to replace the board, and charged me for the return shipping.... the box arrives @ my office crushed---- so i called them right then... there responce was its a tough amp go ahead and install it anyway, i protested... but they insisted... so i install it and go to work, that night i go to dinner with my girl friend ! she noticed it in the back and asked me to turn …

http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/showthread.php?t=60051 A collection of threads about SA series woofers being awesome I'm going to keep the central thread on CACO to make it easier to update. What am I missing ? I am trying to compile all of the best threads about the SA series woofers as I keep seeing threads like "Is the SA-12 any good?" -- linking this thread would be a quick way to answer AND give good information.

I'm curious to see what kind of power these guys put out. I know they're hella underrated so I'm curious what kind of power they ACTUALLY do? 200rms per channel? or closer to 150? I'd love to have 150-200 a side running some DD 6.5" LTs would get retarded loud imo, thanks, Tom

finally got my system up and running, and after a little break-in preriod to let the spiders soften up a bit, i've finally got a daily system that i can pound on and be happy with. 2x saz3500d's and 2x ns v2 18's in 8 cubes @ 30hz sealed on the dash: so 153.9 @ 37hz on music, 152 @ 30hz. the loud n low champs thread made me decide to post this up so people take the ns V2's into consideration when doing a daily build...they're very capable of getting low while being loud, and the new v2's take abuse like a champ! (not recommended for those who dont know what they're doing)

Just thought I would post some pictures of my 1500D's. I did 149.2DBs with 2 Sundown 1500D's on an 100 amp fuse. The sub used was an Atomic APX. The score was at the headrest. Without fusing during my clinic I did 149.9DBs. All in all very impressed with the amps can't wait to get 2 more. I didn't have much time to test before the show but I believe with a little more tuning I'll be over a 150 at the head. The 149.1 was the second day.

The amps are in California at the moment from our current update (just now) -- they should arrive at our shop shortly after CES. I know some people have been anxiously awaiting this ! Here are a few pics of a complete product from the factory :

ok will any bass knob work for a SAZ 1500D .............. as long as the pins match up for it THANKS TEAM IAK

But after examining the forums lately and seeing what coming up from your company, I think it is safe to say that you never cease to amaze the customers at the amount of work and effort you've been doing. You really need a blog to let the customers know what is going on at Sundown Audio I mean from my examination from lately you've put out a 125.2 update / pre-order, 50.4 release / pre-order, 3000D not too long ago, Night Shades, SA Series on the verge of testing, Updated the 1500D with graphics and different heatsink, 100.4D update / pre-order, Sundown 8's and then 8" updates to surround and a few other things, SAE - 1200D over the 1000D, slim-line midbass, etc.... I mea…

Right now I'm building a new box for one 8" sundown Sa-8 that I'll be using until I get another 1 or 2. My current box is tuned too high for my liking. How much square port area is recommended for these subs? What is the lowest you would recommend I tune the box to? Right now I'm tuned to 34 hz, between .75 and .85 cubes after displacement by messing with some dimensions, with 13 inches of square port area. Is this enough for one Sa-8? I don't want to make too big of a box for it per Jacob's recommendations. Thanks.

I have the chance to grab a NIB SA-12 D2 for a decent price. I want to run a single sub in my Jeep. The amp I am going to be using for now is the Audiopipe AP-1000D. I want to run more then 300w to the sub but that is all the amp is rated for at 4ohm but if I run the sub/amp at 1ohm I can get 1000w. Is this ok to do with this sub/amp pairing? If not I'll get a D4 and run it at 2ohm and 700w. As far as the box...I am thinking about doing a sealed box. My plans for the system are SQ and I would also like to save some cargo space by doing a sealed box. Other than ensuring the airspace is correct...is there any affect on the sound/performance related to the shape of the box? …

just like i said.... if you have ran the SAZ 4500D at .25 ohms i wanna talk to you !

has anyone ever heard just one of these subs in a 350z. i'm thinking about running one off a jl audio 300/2 amp at 2 ohm in my 08 350z.

Emailed Jacob: "So what sub would u like me too put up a sick score with..z2 12 or SA12" "SA as i sell 10x more of them too Z2" And there we have it

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 need to know the T/S Specifications for a sundown z v2 d2 15 and how big does an spl box need to be for it

Check them out... I think he wanted his doors to match his teeth... that is the word on the street.

currently i run 2 12s off 2 1500ds... i am am having issues with wheter to stick with the 12's or change baskets and softparts to 15's... but before i go that route i wanna know how loud can 2 12's get in an optimal enclosure to acheive a little more loudness and range from these subs. as of right they they are crazy loud!!!!! but you always wanna a little more to see what these beasts can do. i've been talkin to pete about another box for my tweles and possibly 1 if i choose to recone them... we were working on a design that will have the subs drop as low as 15-20hz and still sound good all the way up to 90hz (daily beater) the box i have now is 4.4 cubes @ 35hz and real…

i was wondering if u could help me out sundownz... i am trying to find the depth of a sundown e8 v1 from the top of the surround to the bottom of the magnet. i am doing a stealthy build and depth is a big restriction. thanx in advance

Well i bought a few Nightshade v.1 motors from jacobs yardsale a week or so ago. when they arrived there were still cones in place. i checked coils and one of the subs still read good. so i decided to put some power to it. It made music but sounded horrible but seemed to work ok. I bought these to resize/recone and figured neither sub would work, but. 1) 12' blown junkyard nightshade v.1 1) box that leaks and is about 2.5 times too big for the sub. (was made for 3 sa-10s) i re-baffled it to make the show 1) sundown 3k 1) Truck that is notorious for not getting loud. My 4x sa-8s do a best of 143 on music. I took 1st in Streetbeat 1 I slapped this together at the last minut…

Can a pair of strapped 1500's run a Dual 2 BTL safely? Its below the rated two ohms, but seeing as the power test were dropping insane numbers, I figured it was worth a shot to ask if its been done.
