Sundown Audio

enuff Blablabla Taddow how ya like me Now... will post #s after show !!!

so my 2-SAZ2000's will be hidden under my sub box as soon in this pic here: . so as you can see i will have no access to my gains to fine adjust them! so then i thought well if i max them out AND plug in the remote gain knob and follow my ears for clipping and bottoming out and such, all the while using the gain knob now will this work? did i over or under think this? did i miss something? like is it bad to turn up the gains all the way then use the remote to turn them down(control them) i assume what i want to do will work but i just wnat to double check b/c once everything is in lol i don't want to take it out just move the gains an 1/8 of an inch down or up if you k…

Went to a USACi comp in Marrerro, LA last night. Took 1st place with a 147.9db @38Hz Legal all sealed up on the dash. No camera with me so i'll post pics of the plaque when I get back home later tonight. I feel as if I could've gotten really close to the 150 mark but the amps kept going into protection. I got two SAZ-3000d strapped together on (4) Phoenix Gold Ti12d Elite subs. When I put a meter on my terminals I get a DC Resistance of 1.7 ~ 2.0 ohms which doesn't make any sence because the subs are dual 4ohms. Not sure why I sometimes get a resistance less than 2ohms. Each sub is series for an 8ohm load then all paralleled to one set of terminals which should be a …

So they arrived a couple of days ago but my lazy roommate hasn't gone and picked them up yet. About a week and a half ago I talked him into order a pair of 10s to replace the current Kenwoods under his backseats in the GMC Sierra. Today I finally got fed up with it and went to the front office to pick up the pair of Sundown SA-10 D4 B-Stock we ordered from Jacob. So the lady goes to the back to get them and calls me in for help because she claims they are "really heavy". I was thinking to myself, no way are these things THAT heavy. So I go to lift them both up and almost shit my pants. I did NOT expect the weight they have. Jacob sure fed these subs their Wheaties! On top…

i have a 99 explorer 2 dr sport, right now i have a nightshade 18"D2 sub in 6^ft box after port sub displacement i have about 120" of port the box is tuned around 35hz. I have a SAZ3500D i am going to redo my system and talked with a buddy, he tells me ditch the 18 and get 4 15"D2 nightshades and 4 1500Ds, and take back seat out and build a big ass enclosure for the 4 15s. I dont have a problem doing that but i wanna make sure its what im looking for ,i want to be able to cruise around town and bump and let people hear me before they see me, and feel me when they see me. I told him i would rather do 4 18 nightshade and he said no you need 15s would move more cone area a…

How do I go about joining? Or do you have to be invited or something like that? Anybody want to fill me in I must have missed it somewhere haha. Thanks!

I have 2 1500d's, only one is in my car right now. I have an AA havoc 18d2 in the car as well. I am looking to add another 18 soon. My question is: will I get more efficency and power with both amps running seperately at 1 ohm a piece or running strapped at 2 ohms? I have factory electrical(110amp alt) for now, will be upgrading it soon as well. I just want to run the 2 18's without destroying anything in my car. Any help would be appreciated.

well he put up a fight right till the last 151.8 today. made a new box with 8" aero port common chamber.and this was the number and result's from the first burp. so now to wait for some recone's.I might try some different coil's but I'm not sure yet what ohm these amp's are wanting yet. oh this was with 2 3000d's the second picture was of the other woofer. i just rolled the volume and poof it was gone and it only did a 146.?

Who would be interested in an SD-1 v.2 10" woofer sale? Much like the SAX-100.2 I am finding these under-appreciated and would like to see more out there! http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=14141 * Customer Review http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=11420 * Pics from prototyping http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=12478 * More information from the original pre-sale thread back in November 2007 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...217&hl=sd-1 * Production model pictures

Original Discussion Thread I expect to have this in by first of February if not sooner (working on better ETA). Production on the steel parts started first of last month but I am being conservative with the ETA due to the continually increasing delays we have experienced this year on production. Due to popular demand I'll go ahead and open pre-ordering on these models.

* I have just a little bit of aluminum here. * Front brackets to hold them in place will be aluminum angle just like the bars. * Allen bolts + lock washer + brass washer (have one on both sides) * This is where the wires will connect for the amps, grounds, flux caps, etc

Was just thinking about where the future of Sundown Audio was heading. It seems to me the company is growing and becoming more and more popular. (correct if I'm wrong) At some point in time I am assuming there will be a need for a new larger warehouse or building, and plans on incorporating standard Bench Tests for all amplifiers? Of course I, as most of the people on the forum know what the ability is of Sundown amps, getting bench results with the amp is always a nice little extra.

It may be alive again... drove it around a bit today with no issues. So far we have changed: Coil Rotor button Camshaft position sensor Crankshaft position sensor Going to drive it around a few days to see if I'm comfortable taking it to Whiteville, NC for nSPL clamped power classes Then the real no-wall build will probably start after that.

Based on the amount of support required for people who have failed to do their research and install amps properly I may be pulling 0.5 ohm warranty coverage from future "Z" series Class-D amplifier sales. Plenty of information is posted on the forum but I continually get support questions about sub-1 ohm operation. It turns out that 90% of the time it is a gain knob set too high, insufficient voltage, or a load that is incredibly low beyond 0.5 ohms due to wiring errors. Have there been any failures? Not any more than I would expect from just factory defects and user error. I've had one come back that was actually toasted beyond recognition... but that user had an issue i…

well sunday i had a chance to fondle, grope (sp?), kiss...lick, oh and a whole LOTTA touching smelling ...gazing....i winked at it a few time and when i put it in 3 cubes sealed with 1 sundown 1500 @ 1ohm.....it was sex to my ear....i almost had an erection....i find myself rubbing it alot trying to get my rocks off....i let it lay on top of me....i should have made a porn movie it will be called "NITESHADE - WHO'S ROCKING UR DRAWS OFF?" I put it on the meter(tl mic).....and out the box and into a 3 cube sealed box withone saz1500 in the back of a 02 pathfinder ( sub facing back) it was able to do a 141 sealed at the glass on music....i belive i have that on video...i w…

got a stock alt still, it's a 92' camry wagon (dont know what the amps are with that) and (2) 3500d's and (2) 3100's....should I get a volt meter just to be on the safe side....Im not sure how long I should play the system with just a stock alt?

Got my new toy in today....pictures dont do this thing any justice..at all... Insanley massive......Makes me want to order another one.. I got gain and bass boost at 1/4 and its slamming already....I can not wait to turn it up and see what it really does..but at 14/35 on the volume...the lows are crazy..... Gonna break it in for a few weeks at low volumes though.... Powered by 1 of my SAZ 3K's and 3 DEKA's..... Thanks for a bad ass sub Jacob.....was packaged great to...arrived here in top notch shape. Will post more pics in a short while...as well as a video...

18" nightshade v.1, off a autotek mm4000.1. Got it wired to 1 ohm, does much better. This is a cut through btw. check it

I want to know a single SA-8 V1.5 T Line enclosure design for a sedan. The sub will be daily played and I have 650rms on it.

Well finally I have my Sundown SAZ 3000D hooked up in the Blazer. 1 Fi BTL 15 Dual Mag in a small but perfect box tuned to 35hz 1red yop and 1yellow top Optima batteries Question is How do I test my amp? What are the various ways I might find out the output? Watts? Amperes? Don't I need a special clamp meter? Any suggetions on what kinds and maybe some links. How do I set the gains on my amp correct? I've done it by ear so that nothing is distorting and everything is real clear. But isn't there a better way? Thanks for ANY HELP in advance! ~Joe

Forgive me if this is dumb, The red protection led came on no my sax 100.4 this morning. I tested the speakers and the right front reads 4.3 ohms the left front reads 5.5 ohms and both bak read 4.2 ohms. I know a speaker short can cause the protection to come on. Is the 5.5 a short or would it read OL on the meter?

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…

I have teamed up with Mike once again; this time to clear out QC failed SA-8s at a discount. We have worked with Mike before on E8s that failed QC so I am sharing this offer with my forums. They are all new drivers that didn't pass on our bench test; which is performed on all speakers and amps that ship from Sundown. Mike is re-building them with our latest updated soft parts. Note : These do not carry warranty from Sundown Audio. We are not re-building this in house; the work is done by Mike so they must be ordered from him and not us. --- I will be selling Sundown’s inventory of SA-8s that have failed quality control testing. Each of these woofers were tested by Jaco…

Built a box for a guy, he put a little sub in it on a Sundown SAX 100.2 bridged at 4 ohms and took a couple videos for me. I figured I'd share them. I've said it before, the 100.2, while being the smallest current offering, is my favorite amp. A single DD 1008 on a 100.2 bridged at 4 ohms. Tuned low, especially for an 8, but still managed to do a 132.9 on music out of a trunk, and the back seats don't fold down.

how could this have happen? i have 2 sa-12's the other one looks ok but i don't know. the amp i had was a sae-1200d. if you need more info let me know. i will get better pic in the morning.
