Sundown Audio

I have a SAE-1000D pushing my front components. I had the amp set to HPF and dialed the filter in to around 125 Hz. I noticed recently that my midbass was non existent. Honestly it may have been that way for weeks and I may not have noticed. My truck is usually hauling around two kids, so no turning up the radio. Anyway, I got to troubleshooting last night trying to determine what was wrong. On a few occasions at high volumes I would start to smell burning. One day last week it was so bad I nearly pulled the truck over to look for fire! It was really, really strong and I had to turn the system off for the smell to go away. I thought it was the VC's in my comps (5…

Yep... you read that correctly. Big bad boy 200x4 Class A/B amps with full SAX-100.4D style crossovers. Stable to 1 ohm mono / 2 ohms bridged... can power a whole system. These things are MASSIVE... I know the trend is for small amps but I like big amps, and so do alot of people still These are not made for typical daily installs... they are made for BIG builds! * It is actually larger than an SAZ-3500D. * Another shot vs. SAZ-3500D ----- Before anyone asks... there is no ETA, I don't know when I'm going to open a pre-order, and pricing is not 100% set. I do expect pricing to be about like the SAZ-2000D, though... give or take.

Testing coming later... change a tad from the initial layout. We ended up with 8x IRFP360LC output FETs -- 66% of what the SAZ-3000D / 2500D have. This output section is WAY stronger than the 1500D v.1 what features IRF640 / 9640 units. Power supply features the same number of FETs as the original 1500D but a new more powerful part like the SAZ-2500D has. Power supply transformers and output inductors not changed from the v.1 1500D -- overall size down about 1.6" * Old 1500D on top and new 1500D v.2 on bottom * Internal fuses removed for SPL competition purposes - customers will need an external ANL unit * New driver board * Old driver board

Hi, i'm looking to fit 1 SA10 in a 2009 F150 under the seat, the box size are as follows INTERNAL AIR VOLUME: 1.2 CUBIC FEET TUNE FREQUENCY: 35hz. I have seen the recommended box size to be 1.25cf, would this box still work? Thanks

I need to add alittle color to the back of my car, so I painted my amps white....What do you guys think? Before After

Out of the gate on music at 154.6 dB Congrats Richard Willoughby on your accomplishment ! I emailed him to get some photos as well This is a dash score.

Yep... you read that right. Hank is doing 48x SA-10s. ----- Hank is now in NC with us -- the above was done up in Indiana at his home. Subs all tested and laid out for installation :

hey do you guys just sell the bass knob for the sundown saz2000d mines acting up it goes to 1/2 and stops pluss when you go to 0 it doesnt get low it stays on.

I bought a SAX-100.4 a long time ago and had it installed in my last car for about 1 year, and I had it sitting in my garage since then. I recently hooked it up into my current car and am having a strange problem. I am only running front speakers with a small sub eventually to come. So I ran the speaker cable from the front speakers to Channel 1 and 2. I then plugged Channel 1 and 2 RCA's into the Front Left-Right on my Alpine 9886 HU. When I listen to a song music only comes out the drivers side properly. I try plugging the RCA from Channel 1 into Channel 2 on the amp and no sound. Plug either RCA into channel 1 and sounds on the drivers side. Plug either into Ch…

So I got my 2500D, and I just realized that it doesn't have an internal fuse. So what to do? Fuse the + lead about a foot from the amp? Why doesn't it have a built in fuse anyway? Just wondering.

A customer ordered four 15s and I am just about done with the first so I took a few pictures along the build process : * Rear triple joint glue and ring - the ring is smaller than the gap and centered so can go down into the gap at extremely high rearward throw. * Close-up of the glue. * Spider pack is pressed with a laser cut steel plate and a Z v.2 motor to ensure good bonding of the glue between the frame and spider layers. * Terminals have a locking toothed washer * Soldered - and a dab of glue added to the stud on top of the nut and washer for long term safety. * Special surround glue - dries flexible and won't hurt the surround material. * Finished cone to s…

so i am new here just kind of feeling out a system for my daily driver(91 civic hatchback) i want to keep the rear hatch for the most part seeing as i do take my kid in it sometimes and have to randomly carry little stuff back there so i was thinking either 1 of the sa-8's in a t line(really want to build one they look sweet) if i have the room i know they can get to be pretty large or do 2 in a box around 1.5 cubes i will be powering what ever with a planet audio big bang 950 so 650x1 at 2 ohms that should work really well on a single or a pair. keep in mind i am not trying for huge numbers just something cool that make people go wtf 8's no way and be decently loud. any …

i would really like to see some nice 2 way and 3 way components that perform without being ripped off for them and have a brand i love backing them, what about you guys?

I was planning on switching to four nightshade 12's but the sa 12's are looking very attractive to me now. Jacob I saw you had four of them on two 3500d's how did they hold up. I have two 3000d's on four dd3512's right now and this is the third time I have had a motor shift and they are far away for warranty work vs sundown. Money isn't really an issue but I wanna get the most bang for my buck. The car is a daily driver. And I'm very careful with the gain nob. Is the output of the sa comparable to the 3512 sub

I got my SA-10's last week. And probably won't have them installed for another month. So if you've got your SA-10's up and running. Let's see some pics and or vids of your setup. I'll be running 2 SA-10's in 2.5 cu ft@32hz wired to 1 ohm off my SAZ-1500d.

Ok I'm running 4 12" subs on a 3k @ .5 but i'm planning to change to 4 SA-12 d2's. I'm wondering if I get more power out of 2 1500's strap @ 1 ohm then I would out of the 3k @ .25?

looking for a bass knob that works with the sae 1200d v.2, willing to buy from anybody that has one.

Finally getting started. Car already had a system. Its about 6 or so years old. Going to redo all of it from battery back. New system includes Replacing 4g with Shok 0g.

Any idea on what kind of power I could expect out of the 2500 at 18 volts wired down too .25?

So today i noticed something interesting regarding my SAX100.4. I am currently running no subs (waiting for my saz2500(2) to come in) so my setup is the big 3, h/o, 2-nsb90, 2-zapco RB13.2 comps and the 100.4 so let me see if i can explain this issue correctly... here is my door panels for starters so i currently have all 4 channels in use and the crossover point is 80hz channel 1/2 - is 1 set of gains and filters (hpf) channel 3/4 - is another set of gains and filters (hpf) i am at the 1x range and hpf on channel 1/2 i have the gain set to 1/4 of the way up (just positioning i am not a noob it is for reference sakes) to match the output of 1/2 i have to set 3/4 gain…

just had to make a post to you guys for an absolutly amazing amplifier had it for 2 weeks now and it is an absolute machine thanks for one of the beefiest amps ive seen and heard the amp i'm refering to is the saz2000d too bad they discontinued it but will deffinatly be sticking with sundown

After numerous death threats (JK) I decided to stay late and post some pictures *laughs* Here you go guys : This particular one is about to be built for Brandon's truck.

Two Stinger SPV-70 Batteries / 40-amp Power Supply / 8 awg wire power and Ground (this amp should have 4 awg) Wired to 1 ohm nominal : 1170 Watts @ 12.5 volts 1.97 ohms after impedance rise Wired to 0.5 ohm nominal : 1490 Watts @ 11.1 volts 0.85 ohms after impedance rise --- Measured with my Extech True RMS power clamp meter several seconds into the tone @ 60 Hz -- this typically reads about ~15-16% less than a "dual peak hold" amp clamp test. We'll do some more testing with a more adequate power wire coming up soon. The test bench 4 awg has the ends tinned so is a bit too big to go into the SAX-1200D terminals -- will need to get it in a vehicle.

i am currently running 4 10's and i will be running 2 1200d's would i be better off running 1 amp per 2 subs or should i strap them both and run to all 4?
