Sundown Audio

  1. Started by aimone,

    so check this b.s. i bought a couple saz1500s a while back that needed repair. the guy i got them from is saying he's a dealer for sundown now and that its not possible for me to get my amps fixed properly by sundown without going thru a sundown rep. i called b.s. on it and told him i talked to jacob and he referred me to db-r since they are the only guys certified to rebuild sundown amps. he swears that i cant get them fixed and he doesnt believe my amps are at db-r already......... now is this guy really a rep for sundown in oklahoma city? even if he is i'd still rather buy my shit from ssa

    Sup guys, unfortunately I have to part with my 2nd 3000D....I do not wanna do this, but when your out of a job...stuff's gotta go.... I'm Team Sundown and its open to Team Members that want one.. PM me for a price if your Team SD, and we can get the ball rolling..I'm in a big bind...Credit card bills and internet bills are coming...I know someone wants a 3K...and I know Jacob doesn't quite have them yet.. I appreciate it Jacob for letting me sell it, but I'll be buying another one soon as I can afford it again. Here is a pic of one of them...both have the same graphic.. and due to a retarded....long long long long long story for another day...I don't have original pack…

    I am offering up people to listen Sundown products in Centrla/S. California. I am now a firm believer in Sundown and am willing to let anyone that wants to listen to my SQ orientated truck running the 100.4 and 1500D. Keep in mind this is a SQ truck with the ability to get to decent loud volumes. I am a Sq compeitor and hence my reasoning about setting up Sundown amps in that fashion. I look at it this way, if I can make it sound good, REALLY GOOD, and do it at 2 ohms and not take advantage of dropping the impedence for full power then I think you can imagine the "output" with full power. I am still thinking about building up a DB car to show the true impact of this …

    I have done a lot of searching and can't find anything in general to the problem I am having. I am ready to pull the trigger on the pre-order of the SA-8v2, but I cannot get the enclosure figured out. I am not looking for a pure SPL, or a pure SQ enclosure. I want to be able to listen to it at normal volumes for most music, and then dial in the remote knob when the bass is pumping on certain songs. I want a small vented enclosure with 1 D4 SA-8v2. (I want a vented enclosure because I haven't heard any success stories with a sealed enclosure) I will be powering this sub with a SAX-1200D (I know it is overkill, but I want the option to add a second or a larger pair of subs…

    So I'm running Sundown 100.4 with fronts and backs with no problem for last month or two. But I have a problem with 125.2, I just hokked everything up and this amp that feeds subs is turning on and off constantly, as soon as there is a bass in the song it hits very quiet, barely noticable and amp turns itself off, but as the bass dissapears in the song amp turns itself back on, and it's like that throughout the whole song, it will literally turn on and off maybe 20 times in 1 minute. But the 100.4 runs without a problem in the meantime and rest of speakers play fine. here's the hookup for 125.2 2 Id8's dual voice coil 4ohm http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/manuals/iD/ID8D4%…

    So the 1000 is rated at 1000W @ 14.4 volts. What kind of numbers are we looking at closer to voltages on stock electrical, say 13V? Would two 1000d's be content on an 100A alt, with the big 3, and a battery in the rear? Also, one amp does 1000W, but two strapped does 1800. Why is this? And one more question... would a 1000d on a Fi SSD 12" wang awesomely? Thanks! -Trevor

    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

    Hey followers of Sundown. I am thinking I want to use the SA-8 in my car. I designed an enclosure and am now looking for feedback before I jump in the Sundown pool. Let me give you some background of the car it is going in and the sound I am looking for. I own a 2003 VW Jetta GLI. It has the factory Monsoon sound system with an aftermarket Kenwood Double Din. The factory monsoon amp consists of an 8 channel amp running a component set in each door. The woofers are low in the door and the tweeters are in the A-pillars in the front, and by the door handle in the rear. It gets plenty loud, and is relatively clean. What it is missing however is some low range. I want enough…

    Worked on the car stereo yesterday. To date, I have the Alpine CDA-9884 with the RUX-C701/PXA-H701 processor/ controller combo installed. I ran the main 1/0 power wire from the stock battery in my 06 Toyota Solara. I sealed my sub box and installed the sub. I wanted to hear the sub before I finished the appearance portion of the box. It is a dual 2 ohm VC wired in Parallel for a 1 ohm load. I have not installed a permanent ground point on the chassis so mounted a temporary 4 gauge wire to a seat lug that sees a resistance of 1.4 ohms. Voltage at the Distribution block when the car is running is 14.1 volts. Th ground is very temporary but also very securely fastened. All …

    hi, i got around to measure to see where i can mount the amps that i am about to get. and it looks like i am going to have to mount the 1500d on the enclosure. now the enclosure is 3/4 mdf with bracing. i figure if i mount the 1500d on a 1" thick mdf board then mount that to the enclosure that will be enough to limit the vibrations and any other problems with mounting amps on enclosure. so will that be enough or should i go thicker.

    Hi, I'm new but a long time lurker of this board. I've finally decided to purchase a sa-12 and add a subwoofer to my car. (Bmw E46 Sedan) Before I purchase, I would like to get the box sorted out. I've been using some different calculators and various threads from this board to figure out how I should build the box. I have the whole trunk to use so no space constraints. The sa-12 says 1.75-2 cubic feet which leaves very little to no room for a port. I want to tune to 35 hz. I looked into maybe one 6" aero port, but it would be a stretch to get a 2 cubic foot box to fit the sub and the port which would be 14-16" long. Any help or suggestions? Would a passive radiator be m…
