Sundown Audio

http://www.mecacaraudio.com/eventresults.aspx?eventid=768 Modex Place Competitor State Team Score 1 Dave Edwards VA Hybrids 83.5 --- Dave is running an SAX-100.2 on his tweeters and an SAZ-1500D on his subwoofer!

Leaving today after UPS picks up... will not be doing much e-mail while I'm gone, just a heads up

I know the sax-100.4 can handle 10-16v but what about a lil above that. lets say from 17-18v. Im trying to run my whole system all on 16v eliminating the extra 1/0 wire running from under the hood and adding to the 16v charging system. thanx in advance

Wat do you guys think would be louder and better option for my camaro ? I have the power for either and about 3.5 cubes for the box after displacement Wats the max guys are running on these new 8s i have heard some where around 800 rms but i would throw around 500 rms to each just wondering if i should invest in these subs Thanks Guys

Im getting my Jeep Grand Cherokee ths friday. then gotta save up for sound system. im trying to get 2 18" NS v.2.. But idk if i need dual 1 or 2ohm. this will be for daily use(only listen to rap) and the occasional comp(maybe). 2 saz2500? 1 saz4500? i really dont know which would be best. Im in MOORESVILLE,NC, so i know a lot of people on this board are near here. Even the sundown audio warehouse!! lol.. i met jacob and a lot of the team members back in march in daytona for SBN. I know some on can help me here!! SUNDOWN FTW

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?

I just installed my SAX100.4 and when I was hooking up the Power/Ground I got a spark. I had hooked up the ground first and was undoing the screw for the positive connection on the amp. I guess the side of the screwdriver touched the the side of the amp and the positive screw at the same time and sparked a little. The amp works but I can't think of why it did this. Anyone care to enlighten me? Also, I was wondering what exactly the remote knob controls? Is it gain or bass boost?

im looking to talk to the guys that currently run nightshades. questions for the guys with the stock sub (not been reconed yet) 1 how much power are you runing to them? 2 daily or burps 3 share with me how you like it, questions for the guys with the upgreaded recone. 1 how much power are you running. 2. how do you like the stronger spider? 3 tell me how much more you love the sub after the recone. the reason being, i want to run 2 nightshade 15's on a pair of straped saz 3000ds i have never blown a sub runing daily, and i dont wanna start now! or 1 saz at 16 volts. i was thinking to run two BTLs. but i would really like to stay sundown ONLY>

Hey jacob will there be a SA -18 coming?

Went from 2 saz 1500s to 4. We pulled a 157.6 at the head. It was good enough for a best of show at our April fools MECA event. Thought I would just share the info. Amps are killer!!!!

Setup: Car: 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Battery: Purple Haze Deep Cycle Wiring: 1 run of 4 guage monster to the back to 1 farad cap, split into 2 4 guage runs to amplifiers Amps: 2 SAZ-1500D's strapped Subs: 2 Oldschool ClifDesigns 12" 1000Watt RMS wired at 3.2 ohms. Box: Bassworx prebuilt futureshop Deck: Pioneer Premier DEH960-mp First run (Qualifying): 139.1dB TL ran from 30-41 hz, hit peak at 41hz. Second run: Started at 42 Hz, ran to 139.3. Amps went to protect and had to reset deck with time clicking (while tied with other competitor). Reset deck and hit a 139.8 at 43 Hz. Third run: fudgeed it up, ran it burp at 43Hz for a 140.2 when the LED's started the run. Other…

If I wire 2 subs down each dual d1 coils down to 2 ohms meaning each sub is wired down to 2 ohms does the amp bridge that internally to 1 ohm..

Made for local customer -- thought it would be fun to use the Z v.3 spider on the NS v.2 -- we have about 44.5mm of motor clearance and this spider will allow you to reach it. Pretty impressive to see free air I also am experimenting with a former cap as he is running high power. The cap will enhance the effectiveness of our coil cooling setup. Once I get the dust cap glued I'll run specs -- it is still pretty fresh but I gave it a nice run free air before gluing on the former cap.

Hi Guys. I am very, very happy to announce that I have been appointed the UK distributor of Sundown Audio. I am currently the distributor for DC Audio subwoofers and Xscorpion wiring, so we are well positioned to make some of the coolest bass wagons in the UK! Spread the word!

Got the amp racks made with Andrew. Wrapped in carpet till we ran out.. All wires ran, tucked away, with a battery tray in the wheel well to hold my batteries. 2 SAZ 3000D's 2 18" Nightshades(custom) 3 DEKA Intimidators 1 Maxx-Link 1 Wall tuned to 65Hz Gonna live soon, wall will be installed this week, so more picstures to come. More pictures soon, how's it look so far? I'm doing my best on this install....I want it to be just straight out god awful annoyingly loud..but I want it to be a very clean install as well.

i have a saz 3000d during the winter it never tripped... but now.. its hot... today was 86... my car is also black.. so that dont help one bit! anyhow im going to add a fan... jacob im gonna add a fan ... and unless you so otherwise im gonna raise it, off the floor and take the bottom pannel off.. and have the fan blowing from one side to another... im not sure if cool air directly on the bored will mess anything up.. i have done it with other amps. but i wann check with you first

Just unloaded them after lunch; we'll start shipping pre-orders tomorrow. I am really pleased with how they turned out. I wanted to see them before starting more production -- and we sold about 75% of what we got -- so there will be a period of out-of-stock on them; but we should have steady stock starting after the 2nd run !

what ohm load is it safe to burp (2) SAZ3000D's strapped w/ a Maxxlink? Right now, resting load is .8ohms - we have (6) 16V batteries that rest @ 17.4 and are @ 20.8 when fully charged. Would the amps go into protection? Thanks...

i am in the market for an amp to power my tc-5200. the two i can not decide between are the z1 and the 3000d. will the 3000d put out comparable power to the z1? they are both rated 3000 rms at 1 ohm, and i know the z1 is very underrated. what are your opinions? i know this is the sundown forum, so your opinions may be biased but i figure you know more about the 3000d since it isn't even out yet.

Quick gain setting question. I am running the 1000D on a AA Havoc, which is a 1200W rms driver, at 1ohm. When I set the gain using the DMM method to attain an output of 1000W with at an ideal 1ohm load the VAC reading should be about 31.6. However, at this level the output of the driver does not seem to be anywhere near it's full potential. When I actually measured the impedance of the sub wired at "1ohm" it was in the 1.2-1.4ohm range. So my question is should I use sqrt(1000*1.4)= 37.4VAC instead of sqrt(1000*1)=31.6VAC when setting the gain? Also, how do you normally factor in the bass boost, LPF, and sub-sonic filter settings when setting the gain? Thanks!!!!

For sale is a cosmetically damaged Sundown SAZ-1500D. This amplifier is fully functional except for the remote input. You will NOT be able to use the remote as the port was broken off in transit from the factory, along with cosmetic damage to the end panel as pictured: Price is $350 shipped in the continental USA via Paypal.

I wonder what is happening...

packaging looked perfectly Jacob, not a mark anywhere on the amp boxes.
