Sundown Audio

What a great guy Jacob is. I am/was in a pinch with my amp and he has been such a help. He is by far the best salesman/business owner I have ever dealt with. If you are considering buying anything from Jacob DO IT!!!!!!! You will thank yourself later. Thanks again Jacob for all the help. Jeremy

Building a pair right now... on that note - I really do not plan to make any more of these until I get the spiders I'm designing for 10s as it is a bit of a pain in the butt to make these! In any event - someone talked me into making them a pair so here are a few pics :

Hi guys need your help here, would you recommend the SAZ 1000D or SAX 1200D to drive 1 Fi Q 12 Dual 2 ohms (1000 watts RMS) in a ported enclosure? I been doing some reading which indicated that, it's been recommended that the amp should be higher than woofer's RMS so I decided to ask the experts. Thanks, Shopvac.

Hi I'm in the process of upgrading from my 15" Fi SSD to dual Nighshade v.2 on around 4 K rms. And I'm not so good with designing boxes so I'm asking someone with the talent to help me with a design for my new woofers. I was thinking something made for daily use tuned to 32-33 Hz. The box will be going into a Ford Mondeo hatchback. Tanks for the help

... well almost. Originally posted by Greg Kashin on my SMD Forum : Is the Prime Minister of The Russian Federation also a member of Team Sundown??? - SMD Forum ----- Yes, Vladimir Putin, the current Prime Minister and previously The President of Russia for two consecutive terms was at a bike run and was THIS close to rocking Sundown Audio :yahoo: Putin is wheeling the leading trike alongside of him is Surgeon a notorious Russian biker and leader of the Night Wolves.... right behind them is a huge trike rocking two Sundown SA-10's ...I know it's a little hard to see in the vid ( look closely at the vid from 0:18 to 0:21 ) and the media pics but them is Sundowns for sure…

The power clamp reads in kW -- so 0.90, for example, is 900 watts. I kept playing it for 5 or 6 more iterations of the track after the video as I always measure T/S on at least one woofer per run to make sure everything is on track. I've already measured this one once but I've been breaking it in more to measure again

I have a SAE 1200d and i'm wondering if it is strappable ? If it is , would it require anything other than another amp ? Also what would the power rating be at 4 ohms ? Thanks in advance for any help .

1. Sorry for my poor english (i'am from russia) I need help to build ported box for 2*sa12 (1 ohm connection) amp - Rockford fosgate t1500-1bd, i'd like port to be tuned to 40-42 hz Can anybody help me with dimensions of box and dimensions of port. Thank you very much. In russian discusion a can not find any info about that

Two amps strapped (saz1500d), does the slave need a remote turn on wire as well? Or does it power on from br in? Thanks

Just a little tip - it may be easier to buy a new frame than try to get the bolt down ring off the SA-8 frame on the new ones. I do have frames in stock for them. Plus side... the spider will NOT be coming off any time soon if you don't want it to. Here is one we removed this morning : As you can imagine it didn't come off easily. It is glued under the spiders, bolted through the frame, and epoxied on top.

sundown SQ team? lol

Wondering what the power outputs are for these? Looked in the store but didnt see them there

Hey, I tried to PM Sundownz but it would not work. Anyway, I currently have a Sundown 1000D amp and one day the blue LED decided to stop working. I don't know what caused this but I was wondering can it easily be fixed or can I get a new one shipped or what. It is not a huge deal but because of where I put it, it served as a floor light for me. Thanks, Alex

Like the title says, my Nightshade v.2 12 D1 has showed up(fedex saturday delivery ftw). All I can say is wow, the wickedest sub I've ever seen! The comparison pics vs the SA-8 will show how big(61lbs to be exact) these subs really are. Hopefully the 1500d is up to the task, if not I guess Ill be upgrading my sundown arsenal somemore. Here are a few pics, I will post some initial install and testing impressions later.

So I got boarded at work, while I was on night shift so I decided to design and make some duel inputs for an amp and i thought i would show you guys some pics! Also I will be giving 2 sets of these to Jacob for spl testing and what not! take a look let me know what you like and most importantly dislike and how i can improve the design. please note the flat also! i will be making a left and right hand version those are the left hand in the pic and also note the wire clamps in with 1/4 set screws!

I have an area with teh following dimensions for a box 10"high prefer 9.5" 32" wide 16" deep prefer 16 but 18-20 available anyways,,, is it worth gettin the 3rd sub? will i have room? or will 2 be fine anyways ,, and 3rd wont make any sound difference? i know there is a wait on em, im already planning as i save up money its for a 63 impala.. im sik of people saying you have to use JL and all these overpriced underperforming brands, and i wanna shock people with 8s LOL ideally i would vent thru the rear deck or evenbetter through the small stock speaker hole in the top center of the back seat (i think about 6" around) with the subs facing back into the trunk, that would …

... Neo-8 -- here is the other design I'm trying... more traditional over-hung design. Will be testing head to head with the XBL^2 unit when it is ready. Sneak peak as this prototype has been fully assembled at the factory : I would use a different frame if this were to be produced as the spider on this sample is not going to handle the throw I want.

... and SA-8 bolt down ring. Truck showed up late today * SA-8 and mystery prototype in background being tested. * Ohhh, nice looking magnet boot ! * Screws for bolt down ring * Just to make sure... the ring was also epoxied in. * SA-12 with magnet boot

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…

Hey guy - my shipping company gave me unusually good news for once My SA-8s / 12s weren't due in Charlotte until the 25th but it seems they should be at my door tomorrow after 1:00 at some point. Unless something weird happens, of course !

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.

Hello Does the SAX100.4D is 12.5V tested or 14.4V tested ? Does It have different power and THD voltage test ? I'd like to have a sure answer. Thank you

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.

Hello Guys. I have a true s.o.s situation here. One of my beloved Nightshades 15's is coming apart. The screws that secure the basket to the motor are all loose and the motor is just about ready to fall off the basket. The sub is fine as far as the coil goes, but it still has to be reconed. Jacob is trying to get me another sub for the show on Saturday, but may not have one by then. I would like to know if any one has any 15" subs I can borrow just for the show. I prefer dual ones if anybody has any. If not, I could use one dual 2 to go with my other working dual 2. I am trying to qualify for the NSPL World Finals. Any one that can help me on this dilemma, I will buy them…

if they could be coming within the next few months
