Sundown Audio

Hey guys, Got backed up a bit on emails again around the beginning of August... some emails from earlier in the month and scattered throughout up until now have not been read yet. I will get to them ASAP -- sorry for the delay! We've had alot of work to do this month... looking to be another record month for us -- so thanks to all of our customers for the support and patience on emails

Well guys... if all goes according to plan we should have some new stuff coming soon ! By years end we should have : * SAX-200.4 : SAX-200.4 Prototypes In - Car Audio Classifieds * SAX-50.4 v.2 (less crossover features and therefore cheaper) -- More information TBA. * SAZ-1500D v.2 (more compact... very similar power output... more robust MOSFETs for enhanced reliability -- of course the 1500D was already a tank) : SAZ-1500D v.2 Photos - Car Audio Classifieds * SA-15 Woofers : SA-10 and SA-15 Factory Pictures - Car Audio Classifieds Prototype SA-15 Excursion Test Video - Car Audio Classifieds SA-15s will be introduced with all the latest features we have been putting int…

Two of my sample motors arrived -- now I am going to work on the coils and then try them out : It will be for from 8s through 18s. ----- Started a new thread as the original was from a few months ago and the title doesn't really say what it's about Project I'm Working On - Car Audio Classifieds

What would you compare the output to 1 12, 2 12's, 1 15 (all on same power ~1500 rms)? I know this is install dependent but just curious as too a rough estimate what 4 SA-8's on 1500 rms would be comparable to in output. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

It passed our brutal 5 minute 60 Hz thermal test at ~2000-watts clamped power (it floats around this number... as we have to adjust the rig as coil heats to try and keep power as close to 2kw as possible). We even put the coils on a DMM at the end of the video. So... without a doubt the NS v.2 will take MUCH more than it's rated power on music thermally having passed this 60 hz torture test where limited coil movement severely limits coil cooling.

I assume this is normal. Just curious what causes it to make a clicking noise when turning the amp on or off?

Hi Im very interested in getting my TC-3hp motor rebuilt. I was wondering if you could come up with a recone kit for it. I have the TC-3000 top assmbly. Would you be able to re-use the basket? Would I need to send the motor in or would you be able to send out a re-cone kit? What would the costs be? basically the former on the TC soft parts seperated from the titanium cone. I have had nothing but problems with the TC soft parts. I definitely want a fiber, paper, or plastic cone. The box I am using is 2.94 cubic feet tuned to 34 hz with 56 square inches of port and I am shooting for around 1500 watts rms power handling. Do I have any options with the recone kit?

Hey Jacob you going to High Point Sunday? If so you think to can bring a 12" Sa d2 with you. I'll pay you when I get there. I was going order on monday but I'm going to be at this show anyway so I may as well compete.

Okay guys -- Team is full for 2010. Please do not email me about Team inquiries until 2011 -- this means not until January! Our Team is strong this year and I cannot handle the 100+ Team inquiries a week any more this year. Any Team or "sponsorship" inquiry e-mails will be deleted. Sorry for the inconvenience but my Inbox gets 100+ e-mails reading "sponsorship" every week.

Well I have 4 sa-8's and have messed around with 5 different boxes with different configurations. I posted my best score today using MECA AS2 specs. I scored a 137.5 on a single 8" sub. This smoked several larger systems built by people who didn't know any better.

Anybody know where I can get some sundown stickers for cheap or does anybody have any forsale?

Hey jacob will there be a SA -18 coming?

Okay so I got my build done about 5-6 months ago and wired it up and have been running it at .4-.5 ohms with no issues. All of the sudden last Friday it just cut off, no smoke no obvious burn marks. Just went into protect and would not come back out. I know that running it this low can cause issues and so I just went ahead and sent it off to db-r and they think i fried the drive board or the input. My question is can anyone think of what may have caused this. Is it just because i was running it at the .4-.5 ohm load, or can it be something else that i can fix and prevent this from happening again. My electrical is as followed. Big 3 in 2/0 2 250 amp Mechman alts 2 runs…

Okay i am running very low on space now and i have a question could i put a 1500d then bolt a board ontop of it then put another one on top the board would it cause heat issues with the bottom amp would i need to add fans or think it would be alright?

Ok, so I did an install for a friend in his 2009 Honda civic with a Sundown NS V.2 prototype and a sundown SAE-1200D and we have encountered sort of a serious problem. It seems as if there is some sort of a current draw coming from the amp when it is turned off because if he leaves his car off for more than 24 hours the battery is so drained that it can not start the car... The amp is definitely the problem because whenever I take the fuses out of the amp the car works perfect and there is no current draw. The amp also is completely off whenever the car is off (I checked) and is connected to the ACC fuse for the remote turn on since the car has a stock stereo system. I am…

Are the SA 8 or 10 available for purchase right now?

So today was a fun day! I kill both of my NS v1 15inch subs by plugging them into a wall socket! (good times) and i took some video's! at any rate it took each sub like 5 minutes plus on a wall socket 120volts at 1ohm (d2 subs) so about 14.4kw of power (via ohms law) and yes i did this b/c i am getting them reconed to 12inch subs! so with out further a-do here are some short video's! these buts were tanks!!! i am going to miss them and they will be reborn as 12's lol!! death of 2-15inch NS v1 :: MVI_1551.mp4 video by CcCrazy - Photobucket death of 2-15inch NS v1 :: MVI_1557.mp4 video by CcCrazy - Photobucket death of 2-15inch NS v1 :: MVI_1556.mp4 video by CcCrazy - Phot…

Okay I'm looking to upgrade from the SA-12's to the new Z12's. I'm going to be powering them with a SAZ-3500D. My concern is designing a new enclosure. I have a slot ported enclosure (3.5 cubes tuned to 32Hz) I would like a ported enclosure using aero ports. My current enclosure measures 36" x 19" x 17". I would like to keep it around that size, any ideas would be appreciated

Runs on 240v AC -- supplying 260 amps continuous current set to 14.8v Hooked up to some Stinger SPV-70s... need to get one more in there. Should do quite well... this replaces our prior setup of three Pyramid 40-amp units (only one recently as we blew up the other two). We went through those on a regular basis... this should be more reliable and much more power than we had before.

Well, after a couple of weeks of installing 4 of the new Nightshade 15 V.2's I've finally caused a little damage to my truck. Demoing last night on music my windshield came loose at the top of the cab. Everyone was saying my moulding was flopping around and when I poked my head out the side the window, they were right, I was losing air big time from the separation. The bad thing is today is the show and last night I was only at at half knob on the LC-1, I burp at full input signal on the LC-1. Needless to say, gotta go silicone and duct tape the windshield down this morning and since I have to replace it anyway, my goal is to break it on out today during my street beat ru…

So I'm running Sundown 100.4 with fronts and backs with no problem for last month or two. But I have a problem with 125.2, I just hokked everything up and this amp that feeds subs is turning on and off constantly, as soon as there is a bass in the song it hits very quiet, barely noticable and amp turns itself off, but as the bass dissapears in the song amp turns itself back on, and it's like that throughout the whole song, it will literally turn on and off maybe 20 times in 1 minute. But the 100.4 runs without a problem in the meantime and rest of speakers play fine. here's the hookup for 125.2 2 Id8's dual voice coil 4ohm http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/manuals/iD/ID8D4%…

on a dual 2 ohm sub, what wattage would i see with a 4 ohm load at the amps..... would it be 1600 watts.... 2 ohms per amp..... i know, a little unpractical..... just temporary , sorta just curious.... oh, sorry , two sundown audio saz1500d amps. thanks for your time! chop

What is the air displacement on the SA-8. I'm trying to account for it in a .5 cube box....
