Sundown Audio

Well some peeps sent me up a nightshade to play with (Thanks Travis and Eric!!) well on with my results thus far. Box is my standard "scrapy" box, 2.7 cu ft with one 6" aero tuned to about 39 hz where my car peaks at 42 hz. Car is a 1997 Chevy Cavalier z24 I have 1 yellow top battery under hood and one kinetic in the trunk. the results are: dB drag: 148.3 bass race: 147.3 Midwest spl: 149.5, 149.3 on video Usaci: 150.6 Street beat: 149.2 Now i have an saz-3500 to throw on it, we will see how far this jumps

Does this sub compare to jl sound quality? I'm looking to replace RF T110's in a sealed box , to something in a 2-12" ported box. I listen to a variety of music( rock, rap, metal, some country, etc) , just trying to find something that sounds good and will get pretty loud and still sound good. Power wise probably going with the RF T1500-1.

The 15" Nightshades are out-selling the 12s by a tremendous margin so I'd like to see more 12s get out there! So... this is the deal. BNIB A-Stock Nightshade 12s - $375 shipped * TWO FOR $720 shipped B-Stock Nightshade 12s (as pictured in the used, b-stock, etc thread) - $350 shipped * TWO FOR $680 shipped COMBO DEALS: 1x Nightshade 12" D2 + SAZ-1500D - $825 ($800 w/ b-stock sub) 2x Nightshade 12" D2 + 2x SAZ-1500D - $1570 ($1530 w/ b-stock subs) Combo deals NOT available w/ 3000Ds for the sale due to low-stock on 3000Ds. Subs available in D1 or D2 coils outside of package deals. Paypal to [email protected] I will keep this open until June 7th, so get em' now!

What is the total outer diameter of a zv4 12" minus the gasket? I have 13" to mount them in. And no, Im Not talking bout the cut out for the hole to mount them in the box. Lol

will sundown be making anything like the SAE 1200D again? i was about to pull the trigger until i found out they are being discontinued

I purchased a 1200D a while back, strapped it up worked great for a long while on the Xcon but as of recent it started cutting out. Power was still on, wasnt in protect ever. It would stay on the majority of the day and eventually at night it would work for 30 secs after i turned my car on then stop playing. Itd be fine for a few days, then happen again..but now it hasnt worked in a week. Any suggestions on what to look for? I switched the rca's and it didnt change anything. Any input would be great.

Just got the new 1200d, setup with knukonceptz 4 gauge and my old 80 amp fuse from my alpine pdx 600 watt, and so far it sounds a lot more like 600 than 1200. Would I see a huge improvement if I upgraded to 1/0? The reason I ask is KnuKonceptz site says their 4 gauge handles 200 amps, and apparently the 1200 pulls only 150 amps. Either way, I'm definitely upgrading my fuse to 150 like it should be.

is there any significant output differences between these amps. I would like the 1500 but its out my price range rite now. Besides the sae being unstrappable are there any advantages to using the saz. Still considering the sub at moment.

Just wondering if anyone has this info I need. The 125.2 What does it put out at 8Ohms per channel. thanks

I have a set of cd1e horns and need to tune this amplifier down. The horns are 40 watts each @ 8ohm. What should the output voltage look like from the amplifier? Does this sound right? E^2/R = W (W*R)^(1/2) (40*8)^(1/2) ~= 17.89 volts

ok to start off i have a 99 s10 ext cab, with a false floor in the back, under it is a saz 2K, and a 125.2. i started with only about 1" of air space above the amps before the floor, then i found out the 125.2 was getting soo hot i could not even touch it, but would never go into thermal (protect). also that was getting that hot within a 10-15min drive. i also found that it only got hot at high volumes. so today i raised the floor up 3/4" i have about 2" of air space now above the 125.2, i also added right beside the amp blowing over it, a 120mm and a 80mm fan, on the other end of the floor i have a single 80mm blowing over my 2K, as i found it really didnt get that hot. …

Do you have a estimated shipping weight possibly before and after packaging? I'd appreciate it, Thanks

Hey guys i was going to cut out some holes today and i was wondering if anyone knew the cutout diameter for a 12inch NS v1 I was thinking off hand it was something like 10.875 (7/8 = 0.875)

I have 2 sa 12s in a ported box and I've been thinking of trying to build a 4th order or just buying some sa 15s and building a ported box for them. So my question is could the 12s be louder in a 4th order than the 15s in a ported box tuned to say 30hz? They would both be ran on a saz1500 and space isn't an issue for either and they would be ran in the same vehicle

So I have been thinking about going to 16 volts. What do you guys think? How much more power should I expect to see from the 1500's?

We are working on 12x 15s for a customer build... few teaser shots -- more as it progresses. These are being customized with chrome 4-spoke frames. Standard build otherwise with 2 spiders, single leads, and standard cone -- most efficient setup for this application.

Paul Strouth's Jeep. Currently doing 153.1 dB @ 35 Hz sealed on the dash on the TL with an American Bass 1000.1 wired to 1.33 DCR per "side" (as it is two amps in one). Power not measured but the subs are moving maybe 1/2-3/4 inch P-P wired at that load. Derrick will be in shortly with more pictures and pictures of the TL screen Port is 288 in^2 tuned to around 44 Hz "on paper" but peaks at 35 hz in the vehicle. Roughly 20.4 cubes after port displacement for the box... so after sub displacement just a hair over 1.5 per sub. --- We tested it in an open warehouse section of the shop... and it did a number on my office : --- 153.1 @ 35 Hz run We'll get more up as soon as…

tried my damnest to get a 140 out of it, just so I could talk smack, but I'm impressed with the number, since the box is tuned to 34hz and the subs are seeing around 350 watts or so. Forgot to mention, these are the 10's also.

I don't want to hear any "because it's a CRX" comments as this is a big ol' SUV ---------- SA-12 2 SAZ2500s @ 1ohm strapped 2.2cu @ 40hz 148.5 legal @ 46hz 150.4 sealed Kick @ 46hz Bout it.....Thanks Jacob Funny story...ever since i seen Jacob doing nuts scores with 1 15s and so on, than a few guys doing 1 SA12...i wanted too put my name in there....eventually got around too it. Emailed Jacob: "So what sub would u like me too put up a sick score with..z2 12 or SA12" "SA as i sell 10x more of them too Z2" And there we have it

This weekend i wanted to see what the Lb Moab XxX 15" would do in a Street beat boxx.. 149.3db @ 44Hz was thats 1 sub w/ 6000watts rms / 7cf box ported to 36Hz

So Sean is up with his CRX and we are doing some testing... we hit a brick wall last time at 149.0 dB using a 4" aero-port. So... Sean and I got the idea to try a 6" aero-port for the single 8" woofer! The result is 149.9 dB so far. Peak is 66 Hz in the kick... the CRX normally peaks at 68 Hz so we are going to work on re-tuning to break the 150 outlaw. Fun stuff We have as much port area as cone are now *laughs*

Big thanks to Meade for referring Jacob Morris to me for this build. Fuller, looks like now I am not the only one with an eclipse in a 149.9 lane anymore. Morris, the car is did well for us building it in two days. Good Luck with your competition season! 4 saz2000Ds 2 tc5200 18s 4 Kinetik 2400s 152@43hz 149.9 Bassrace

got a couple NSv2 15" d1's, built the box and would like some input on amp selection (Sundown as im a new dealer). We running Street Beat 4 (unlimited alt, bat, amp... across the board). Box is 3ft^3 per sub and tuned to about 55hz, (subs and amp on same plane) bed cut into a single cab silverado. My question is i guess is what can i put to these things (within reason), money not being an option, 2500 per coil?? 4500 on each one??? if we use 45's should we dual alt? goal is 156db, which sould be easily obtainable, imo might get close to 160 with the luck we've had lately (outlaw rules, i can post legal #'s too)

Building a new box for my 15" nightshade. Going to be running (3) 4" external aeros and was thinking about ~2-2.5 cu ft before displacement.. Will be testin different port lengths after I get the box built to see what does the best. Any input?
