Sundown Audio

im suppose to pick up some more 0/1 wire and another battery this weekend, but now im wondering if i really need it. this is what is getting used, i have a sundown saz2000, and a sax 125.2. i plan on running it at .6 ohms next season. for electrical i have big 3 done, 220amp alt, 1 run of 0/1 front to back, odyssey 1500 up front, and a odyssey 2150 in the back. now is it worth it for me to jam another battery in the back? i know the more the better, but is it really needed? also, would i benefit from another run of pos front to back?? im just thinking if i can save the money i should. thanks

just as the topic says if so what did you do to blow it up? voltage low load? nothing?

Parts are all here... as we start making them we'll get more finalized specs on each size and coil configuration. * All of the cones together * 18" Cone * 15" Cone * 12" Cone (woops... got it dirty) * 10" Cone All cones have a stitched surround. ----- * Upper left (18" - 9 1/4") -- Upper right (15" - 8 3/8") -- Bottom (10/12" - 7") Z v.3 15s and 18s will run the long coils (60-65mm) -- we'll have shorter ones for the 10s and 12s (50mm) to keep mass balance in check (will risk some ticking with the longer coils). All of them are beefy 8-layer aluminum USA made voice coils on black aluminum formers. * 15 / 18" coil * 10 / 12" coil (NS v.1 equivalent coil)

From all of you who have run an SA-12. How will they run off of 500rms? I heard while they are rated at 600rms they need a little more than that to get moving well. But my car has a small alternator and I think 500rms is about what I can pull off safety. I just worry it wont be enough.

So before i decided to put the amp back in the truck after its been out for a year, i decided to just check out the board for shits and giggles, and saw this So i want to get this fixed but I don't have a repair shop near me and it'd cost an arm an a leg to ship it somewhere in the lower 48 to get fixed. If i were to ship it out i might as well just get a new amp, so i'd like to attempt to fix this myself. Idk if the resistors are bad for sure as i cant get to the other side with the dmm to test them. If i could get any kind of help such as where to get parts or anything informative i'd greatly appreciate it. I see on one of the other caps it says "222j 630v" so im pre…

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

Hey guys, I am planning on installing 4 SA-8 in a chevy 72 truck using an incrim. audio 40.1 amp. i really need help on determining what would be the best box type and size to include port size. i am planning to use the whole space behind the seat and install the amps under the seat.....your help is very appreciated...also would like to know who can build me box for my project.. Thanks Mike

Well currently I have no room in the back of my SUV. So the only option to mount the amp is on the box. My box is subs up port back. I have room on the top to mount the amp. I put a couple coins,keys, and other chit on top to see how bad it vibrates. It definetly vibrates, but will it be bad for the amp?

I was wanting to try the sundown amps, I'm currently using JL slash v2 amps and wanted to switch to something new, i know so many use these amps for SPL, but I'm redoing my install for USAC and MECA. 3 way up front and 1 12" in the back.

So a good portion of the new raw parts arrived today -- nearly a full 40' HQ truckload of soft parts and frames. Plus, of course, additional E, SA, and Z v.3 style parts! Still have more that will be arriving on our next two containers as well to complete all of the parts we need for X, Z v.4, and NS v.3 drop-ins / re-cones... will be partial containers of parts on those as many of the out-of-stock woofers will be coming in on those trucks as well (SA and SD-2 lines). I don't think very many people realize just how many raw parts we keep in stock here but this is a nice peek into that The fully built X and Z v.4 are still moving along according to the ETA in the pre-s…

I want to run my amps 2 saz 1500ds, one to each sub. But in order to keep them in phase I was wondering if I can set up the RCA's as if they are strapped. I have them set up regular from the HU to on amp then jumped to the next, but the sub off the 1st amp is moving way more than the other. I swapped the RCA's to see if it changed and sure enough its the same way. Any advice?

Ok so in the manual it loooks like I have to connect both positive speaker out terminals to the + speaker and both negative to the speaker negative to run it bridge... is that correct? On my other amps it was always the positive to speaker A + and the negative to speaker B negative

I want to know what the damping factor is @1 ohm, 2ohm and 4ohm also wnat to know how many amps the amp takes from the electrical system at all ohms, should be ok on my stock alt 100amps

Anyway to go around clipping feat on sundown sax 200.4 Volume 25 then cuts off

Here are the photos from Facebook -- I suppose not everyone gets on our FB page so posting them on the forums too : * SPL Spiders shown with the Carbon Fiber Dust cap prototype

Hey guyz I'm about to order an saz 1500v2 could I strap another saz 1500 that's a v1? Is that ok or will they go kaboom? Thanks

I just picked up some scrap 13' pvc. how can i make sure i get a good square cut?

Playing in the shop One 4500D @ 1.33 ohm on one battery vehicle off. We stuck the mic in the port -- the score you see is 35 Hz. The SA-12s with the screws on them are NOT hooked up at all... the big box is moving them with pressure. It will have alot more power on it in vehicle... we expect good results !

Well at the last comp. at Sound Check we decided to through all of my equipment in my buddy Coopers explorer because I have a little Pontiac Grand AM. Before we took everything out of his explorer we had got it to a 150.6 @ 35hz with 3 sundown SAZ-1500d's and 3 15" mojos. Well it was my turn to compete so we pute 1 12" SI Mag in my car with 1 sundown 1500d and went to the comp at Buds to see what I could do. I was in class 1B which is 1-160 sq in of cone area and 501 watts and up. I took first place with a 144.7 (which was really funny cause the JL rep. was calling my amp a mut and I was the second loudest car at the comp next to a van with a wall of 6 15's and 6 1200 wa…

Ok, so ive been doing some subwoofer research, and i want 2-3 subwoofers that will give good sound quality and also output. I figured 2 or 3 of the SD models. Anyways ive stumbled on this wicked site offering 75% off: http://swspakistan.org/subwoofersa.php?id=new-sd2-10d4-sundown-audio-slim-mount-10-dual-4ohm-subwoofer-shallow-sub-p-11839.html?zenid=2a5e2cbc3a9ee40920f158e6edea1914 Does that seem legit at all? They asked for payment in itunes giftcards after checkout lol. I have no clue what to think about this website. I suspect it may be counterfeit or they might take the money and run. Anyways Im pretty sure its not a legit Sundown audio dealer so i wouldnt be …

This was to be a week of catching up on e-mails BUT the container of SA speakers showed up about a week early so we've spent the week unloading, sorting, and shipping the SA woofers. I've done as many e-mails as possible during but still have over 100 messages to do. If I can wake up early one day this weekend before my family I'll try and tear through them and get everyone taken care of. Thanks for the patience guys !

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 …
