Sundown Audio

Hello Guys and Gals. Well, I finally converted to Sundown. Thanks to Sundown Audio's trade in program, I traded my two American Bass VFL-100.1 amplifiers and got a Sundown SAZ3000D Amplifier. This thing is a beast of an amplifier. I still have two American Bass VFL Extreme DVC 2 ohm 12 Subwoofers that are taking a pounding from the 3000D. Everybody says that I need to upgrade to 15" Nightshades. I hope to do that one day soon. I will probably have to get my 12's reconed soon with stiffer spiders and a better voice coil. I still need to do some fine tuning to my amp so I dont blow my 12's to shreds. With the testing done so far, I did a 147.8 sealed on the dash with weak b…

Hey Guys. I wanted to show you a few items I picked up this weekend in Newton Grove NC. What's In The Box? NSCSPL Loudest Of The Day JFF- Truck 165.5DB in the Port This is what was in the box! The Highlander Sword. One Hell of a competition and against a tough competitor named Brian Thornhill The Highlander Sword Unsheathed. I really had an awesome time at the show this weekend and thanks to everyone for helping me out. Props to Jacob for building a very strong subwoofer and My 3500D amplifier. I set a State Record in StreetBeatz with 149.4DB on music. Chock up another victory for Team Sundown.

got 2nd place at USACI thing they had here. it kinda sucked , and wasnt fair to everyvbody. I know I could have done better. This was my first time out without any help or pre-testing or anything. There are a lot of things I will do different the next time out... but you live and you learn. 3 RE SX 15" 2 Sundown SAZ 1500d's Sundowns never got warm hardly!!!

my right front speaker went silent. Channel one front tweeter still worked so I swtiched speaker two to channel one n it played. I then put speaker one into channel two n it was also silent. All I so far.. Can the channel just be bad?

hey i got 2 sundown 1500ds (iv had a few threads on here) and i was wondering if i could daisy chain the RCA's through the br out and br in without having the amps strapped. otherwise im gonna need some Y adapters...

Someone is going to have fun opening all these!

Just picked up a used sae1200d from kevin s. I am in love with this amp. Never never never has my sub sounded this good. It's incredible. Excellent build quality. I'll post a full review once I get a couple of days of playing in. But for now, great product Jacob. A little dated or not, I dont think I'll be straying from sundown anytime soon.

Hey all I have an issue that's starting to annoy me. I currently have 2x sundown 2500d strapped at 1hm each. Running 2X 15" in a 10 cube box tuned to 32hz. Electrical is dc ho alt 270, xsD3100 in front and rear. 3 runs of power and grounds are all doubled in 0 gauge. What's happening started with the new box. The last box was a perfab bout 6cubes. When I play some songs that get real loud my slave cuts off. I can play it fine on alot of songs but when I get to the songs that have mad lows my slave amp cut out. When I'm driving i never drop below 13.2 Volts and i dont play at idle. Amps never get hot and happens right away when I play Thoes few songs. What should I do!! Ca…

WELL NOT REALLY! I just got my new toys in the mail and these sub are bigger than what i expected now all i have to do now is come up with a design...thanks Jacob Saz-3500D Sundown Z v.2 15's THANKS AGAIN JACOB! B.Ellis

Some pics from the latest production run that was recently on pre-order that is due end of July to first of August. These have all of the updates to date on the v.1 plus : 1) New slightly taller spacer ring with full Sundown logo (few mm extra for SPL burps) 2) New revised cast frame with better clearances They are compatible with other SA-8s made to date as these are still a v.1 model.

just did a 148.8 with 2 10's and 2 1500's. i'm looking into dynamat for my car but not sure if it will help. anyway's sundown FTW

We are holding a sale on the SAZ-1000D model for $275 shipped in the continental USA -- regular price is $315 each. Everyone knows what these bad boys can do! Here is a link to the specification page : Sundown Audio - SAZ-1000D Either contact your favorite online or local dealer or send me a Paypal to [email protected] to order ! This would make a GREAT combination with the close-out SAX-50.4 for a complete Sundown amp system for only $475 total.

System: (3) SA-8 D4's Phoenix Gold ZX600.2 titanium. (1200W @ 2 Ohm bridged) Looking for help designing the box for these bad boys. I've don't see any information on the Sundown site regarding recommended volumes / port sizes / tuning, so here I am... I've played with WinISD some, and basically decided to tune it somewhere around 33 Hz. For those of you that have these bad boys, what tuning do you run, what volume of box, and how many subs? For my build I'm thinking of going with .6 cubes per sub (chambered box) with a slotted port that is 5" x .75" x 16" (slot port inside dimensions). From what WinISD tells me this should be sufficient to run @ 33 Hz tuning, but I want i…

I am thinking of dropping my two 8W7's for one IDQ12. If it's a 2ohm sub, can I use one of my 125.2 to power it? How would it hold up (and how much power) bridged at 2 ohm?

donno if he posted pics yet but heres pics of his new sundown setup from the show on Sunday. LOUD AS HELL!!!!!!!!!

I'm curious to see what kind of power these guys put out. I know they're hella underrated so I'm curious what kind of power they ACTUALLY do? 200rms per channel? or closer to 150? I'd love to have 150-200 a side running some DD 6.5" LTs would get retarded loud imo, thanks, Tom

Here are some vids of my nightshade 18". I have a autotek mm4000.1 now(videos are with ap3000). Im wired @ 2ohms, after rise it see's 6 ohms, with 2400 watts. I did 150.7@42hertz, at the headrest. This was done at meca world finals. Comments appreciated, just wanting to see what people think. And here's a tiny hairtrick, not bad for a single sub.

I will be leaving on the 25th and coming back on the 30th. I will answer some e-mails while I am gone -- but most likely not all of them, it is supposed to be a vacation after all. Brandon will be at the shop Monday - Wednesday while I am not so he will handle as much as possible without me being here.

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

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.

I recently just got a SA-12 D2 in a 1 cube sealed box running off an AQ1200d at 1 ohm. I wanna get a ported box and was wondering what size and tuning I should go with if I mainly listen to rap, going for more spl, and is good with the power level I'm using. I originally thought to go with 1.5 cubes w/ 35 hz tuning. Does that sound about right or should I go with something else?

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've been pretty quiet on here for a while now but I have to say a few words about Sundown and Jacob. I bought 6 - 3500D's and 3 - 125.2's over the course of last year. I never got them all at once but Jacob gave me discounts anyway even though I'm not a member of Team Sundown. Not to mention numerous stickers, t-shirts and a can cozy all for free. A few months back I had an issue with one of the 125.2's and asked Jacob what I should do. He suggested the normal "check your wiring and signal paths" which I did. I even took the amp out of the car and the problem still occurred on the bench. Jacob accepted it as a warranty repair but could not find anything wrong with …

Threads for the NS-1 so far : NS-1 and SAE-500D Prototype Pictures - Car Audio Classifieds Amplifier Stock News (Announcement Inside) - Car Audio Classifieds ----- * 6x SA-12 for testing * NS-1 dropped in for testing with various meters * Derrick has 3x XS D3100s and 2x Mechman 300-amp alts * DC Current Clamp Derrick measured 7100-watts on MY Extech Clamp meter and captured 82v with his RMS volt-meter -- so we calculated that to be 0.95 ohms actual with rise from 0.33 nominal. Voltage dropped to 12.3 volts with 646 amps of measured draw on my DC clamp meter. We let everything cool off for a while and hit it again and saw 7200-watts as well but didn't grab all of the …

Expected MSRP to be $139 on these guys. I will do a pre-sale at $95 shipped in the continental USA once production starts.
