Sundown Audio

Coming back from a snowboarding trip almost home and system shut down. Fuses are fine but amp is not turning on. Light is not turning on the amp.

My buddy tossed a golf club in my car and punctured my SA15. I was wondering if they can be reconed and how much i should expect this to cost. Thanks gus

These came in on Monday from the presale. I finally got around to taking some pictures. My Nightshades should be here any minute, I'll post pics of those as well.

A buddy of mine asked me if I could find him a set of good 15's. I suggested Sundown's SA-15 and I know that they are a good driver for a good price. However, I'm wondering how much power you can run through them, if you feed them clean power. They would be running of a Hifonics HFI1500d which would either push 1000@ 2 ohms or 1500@ 1 ohms depending on if we had dual 2 or dual 4. I suggested that he also buy a better amp but wasnt sure what one. Any suggestions? How much power? *budget for amp is undefined, I'm not sure if he wants to buy a new amp right now.

What is the lowest safe operating voltage of the Sndwn3000 Just doing a little testing today and I want to keep an eye on the voltage I know but I've seen reports of putting out their rated rms watts at only 10.5 volts!? I'll be running 2 batts yellow and red top 2/0 guage wire but only stock alternator. Just want to be safe Thanks in advance!!!

I tried to post this under the SSA shop section, but this should do it here as well. First, I am planning to order a Sundown 100.4 tomorrow or tuesday, from SSA depending on how fast my winning bidders pay up on ebay. What I need to know is, Can a set of JL audio XR653 and a set of JL audio XR650csi ( the 3-way set and the 2-way set) be okay on this amp. JL says the RMS on these sets is around 75 watts , and I hear the sundowns are underrated. Will I benefit from this amp, will it need to be ran at a minimal power to preserve these speaker sets? I have a 2007 FJ cruiser, the 3ways are installed already - in the front doors and dash, and the two set is on its way he…

I know there has been some problems with RCA cables and the amps for some reason. I am considering either of these 2 sets http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KRY4.4M or http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.c...rodID=KARSS4.4M Will they both work and would you recommend one over the other?

I bassraced. Got a horrible score... 151.5. Kinda crappy start, almost 120 degrees at the time, drained batteries, warm subs, warm amps.... The amps were screwed basically. I didnt play it once the entire drive there, for like 30 minutes, or at all that day even. After that ride with the amps just in the heat, they were burning up. People who I see bassrace a 153.5 no problem at all had the hardest time you could imagine break 150 in bassrace. My amps are also set to be safe. Gains less then 1/8 up, with SSF set way up to like 40-45hz. Its set to not blow anything up, but Im guessing that when I tune and tweak them Ill gain a good bit. It wasnt a good day for anyone. Well…

Everything was working fine last night. This morning i turn on the car and i can hear static coming from the woofer. I figured it was the subwoofer coil rubbing or something. Well i try 2 other subwoofers and i get the same result. Everything seems to work fine except there's static that kind of sounds like rubbing styrofoam together. I tried everything to rule out other components and still the same result. Strangely enough the amp works fine apart from that. So i have no clue what to do now. Do i just send it in to get repaired or what? I never thought i'd have any problems with it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm helping my friend find some e8s and everywhere seems to be sold out, plus it looks like there's a rush for them on forums. What's the deal? Is there just a shortage in production? Update in design? On hiatus? I'm just afraid they're being discontinued.

Okay so my next system will be (2) 12" Z v3's and (2) SAZ-3500D's, I was curious if anyone knew the specs for a ported enclosure. I would run both amps at 1 ohm. I'm just curious as to how much more room is needed. I have (2) SA-12's in a 3.5 cu. ft box tuned to 30Hz. I would like to stay somewhere around there. I cannot find the thread that had the specs for the soon to be released Z v3's

Well first off I have to say thanks to James and Jacob for the great work they have done and the products they have given me access to that I would not have been aware of... Firstly, Here are some new toys... Here are a few pics of the stuff roughly installed with no clean up of the wires. I will take better pictures once it clears up outside and I can getter better angles. Showing how the box contours to the seat... Other side of the box with the 60% of the rear seat down... Showing driver side of box and its contour like the seat. Clearance under the seats... Anyways on to initial thoughts.... Ohh My are these nice... Just had the 250.2 hooked up to the CDTs gai…

If you have sent an email and it's been OVER 10 days with no response please re-send... got backlogged and I may have missed it.

Phone hours will be 8 AM - 2 PM minus 12-1 for lunch the rest of this week (has been this way for a week or so already) -- but will be back to normal next week. We've had to work around a bit of an odd work schedule for a bit but we'll have it back to normal next week

I could not hold up the daily driver of Sundown in the netherlands. If you can see its a little peugeot 206 sw. i need the space and i need the bass. Lots of family cars overhere struglle to get there wifes over the edge for a good install . I just made a amp floor and its a inch of space higher then original. 2x 1500 v.1 and a 100.4 aktive on the DDA compo in front. A DDLE factory box and a nice SA 10 inch woofer. In the front a xs power 60 ah. db drag style tl on the window Wish me luck to sell a lot of Sundown overhere.

yesterday i was making a point............. i pulled out the old 2x15" box and barrowed my old T4 15" subs from my teammate first run 152.1db second run 153.1db third run 153.4db on 12v with the Missing link Audio device kicking it up too 15.2v was hoping Rexzilla would show up and see the Smerk on my face !!! he doe's 152db with a wall & 6 subs he made the comment that he had beat me !!! i think not if the best he can do is a 152db with 6 subs, he needs to go back to Usuck and play big shot there !!! wait till i get a second Sundown 3000d Tax return bebe edit : oh snapp i forgot to mention that i picked up 6- 8v batterys yesterday 16v here i come

well i found a new toy that loves the high notes.in our testing it was able to do a 155 outlaw @ 71hrtz with 1 NS12 and a 40.1 on 12 volt.this new vehicle is stock from head to toe. no damp,no duct tape nothing yet.since i was using a freind of mine equipment.I need to start getting my own again so I want to go with a lighter sub like 2 x sa10's and a [email protected] to start out with since i cant afford what I need. will the sa 10's hold up to some 71 hrt burps until i can afford some bigger subs and more power? this new vehicle is crazy loud to start out we tested for about 2 hours before we got to a 154.7 with a box that was just sitting in the garage. LOL once i find the swee…

kinda gettin out of car audio at the moment, will be back as soon as the big boy 15's are out to work on a diff setup.... the amps have been used playing time about a 1.5-2 month span with a small scratch and a inset screw missing on one of the amps, which can be had very easily, two ns 12s.... one works perfectly and one is in need of a recone. also 2 9a31 dekas that were barely used and never mistreated.... will be putting up pics very soon. both amps purchased from rob eldridge and subs straight from jacob himself. will be posting this info in the for sale section tonight w/ pricing of course.... will definantly be using sundown again.... awesome products!

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

Do you think it would be okay to install a SAZ-1500D and SAX-100.2 like the following pictures? The SAZ-1500D will be powering two TC Sounds OEM 10's and the SAX-100.2 will be powering a pair of CDT Braxial ES-630's. The pics are of a 350Z.

Came down with a cold over the weekend so I'll be a little slow for a few days while recovering -- if you receive an email that makes no sense it's the cold medicine so just write me back and let me know you need clarification

I'm pretty sure I'm ADDICTED..

Ok where to order my sa 8s from ? SSa store? and can somone tell my the speaker displacement of these? Thanks

Just wondering how these guys are linked to you? www.emfcaraudio.com

I read a post the other day about bridging the 100.4 and how it blew the power supply after a few months. Well, what about bridging the 100.2 at a 3 ohm load (like a JL W7). Would it be reliable long term to do this or not?
