Sundown Audio

Just curious what head unit some of you are using. I've been using a Kenwood kdc-x791 for the last year and I hate it. It sounds good but the screen is horrible in daytime and the interface is the worst I've ever seen. Anyone have a good suggestion in the $300-$400 range? I mostly play mp3 so that feature is a must.

I know some people are waiting on these -- I expected them this week but I just called and they are telling me Monday now. So... anyone waiting on either of this will get shipped Monday - Tuesday next week.

Was wanting to know if this wire is good enough for an saz3000d amp. Also what electrical would be needed?

So I am in need if the address to send my nightshade in for a recone. Thanks

I just wanted to post a thread saying thank you to Jacob over at Sundown for some excellent customer service. It could not have gone any better. Story: A few weeks ago I started to have problems with my SAE-1200Dv1. It was mysteriously jumping in and out of protect. I tried to troubleshoot myself but could not get it working, so I sent Jacob an e-mail for some assistance. He asked me to verify my voltages with a DMM and everything checked out alright. However, the amp was still going into protect. After about a week of troubleshooting, trying to avoid an RMA, he decided it was best to just send the amp in. All I had to do was give him the invoice from where it was origina…

I was told with a nightshade you have the option to add extra spiders. Is that true? If so what does extra spiders do?

I am back from SBN... will take me a few days to get rolling again but we are working hard on e-mails, the SA-8 pre-orders, and any other orders that have been placed !

Hey guys, I'm new here and I'm looking all over the net for some good info and I stumbled upon this site by a fluke I read on few forums that this is a quality amp and seems to be going for a price of $200 which is the top I want to spend on an amp, budget is tight. I've got two sets of coaxial speakers, both Alpine, one is Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. and the other Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. I'm working with limited space of no more than 17''x11'' in an enclosed trunk space, I will attach picture of someone elses car with the location of where I also want to put the amp.

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

If you are waiting on custom built subs, drop-ins, or e-mail responses there will be some delays until after SBN. We are running around like crazy getting ready and trying to make sure everyone else on the Team is ready. I will be out of town on Friday completely and all weekend. Will do as much as I can on e-mails but expect some delay time.

Hey, I have a 12" sundown nightshade that needs a recone. I'm just wanting to know I someone can fill me in on how much it could cost. I would also like to know how much it could bbe if I wanted to recone it to a 15 if possible. Thanks guys

Is it o.k. to run a .67 load on one of the SAZ models? I am currently feelin' around the forum to find out what I want to do with my sub stage and might do three SA-8s. Before I get too carried away, I wanted to make sure that it would be safe to run 3 D4 SA-8s off of an SAZ model amp, (currently the 1000D but beefing up to a used 2000D in the future for comps and such). I suppose the second question would then be: As long as I keep the box small and watch the volume knob when I'm daily driving, would it be safe to run the afore-mentioned subs off an SAZ-2000D? I don't know for certain, but wouldn't that be 3000 watts-ish? Thanks for any help in advance P.S. I didn'…

tryng to buy one used or new.

Ok I've been having trouble with my amp shutting off and on when I would have a song with deep bass or I would turn my bass remote up with a song with less bass. I knew it was an electrical issue with my battery so I got it recharged when the system wouldn't come on (This was after about 8 months of play). My system played fine no problem after the battery was charged. So I got in the next day and b4 i could turn my radio up (The radio was only at 6 at the time) the bass came on and then it cut off and never came on. So I checked the amp to see if the red protection light was on. It wasn't only the green light was on. So I figured it was the battery again but I question t…

got 3 of my 6 sa-12s and a single 1500 for a temp amp. made a box for the rango to demo to a shop, 4.4@30 hz still need to do some finish work will get picks up soon, low to mid 140s kills on all music hehe

The ssa store lists the sa-12 requiring 1week build time, so if I order 2 in the next couple weeks I won't have to wait a few months for them? Only reason I ask is I saw several other sundown resellers showing them out of stock and what not. Thanks

the ssa store says 1lbs, but that seems a bit heavy... Just kidding but seriously how much they weigh?

so, my luck follows through. This small tear not even all the way through on my surround foam got worse. This is by the way a 12 in sundown nightshade. The surround foam is positivly going to need replaced. My question is..Am I going to need a complete recone or can I just get the foam replaced. thanks Jordan

i have 2 sa-12 dual 4. i cant find another dual 4 can i wire in a dual 2 with them. is it possible? and what will the ohm load be on the mono amp? will they all get the same power

can i order directly from jacob, if so how

It is here ! Some comparisons to the SAZ-2000D model below. * Sitting Next to SAZ-2000D Model (2500D to the right) * Another angle - you can see the 2500D is only about 1" bigger (2500D on top) * SAZ-2000D Transformer : ~59.5mm * SAZ-2500D Transformer : ~64.5mm -- hard to tell in the photo but this adds a good bit of size overall to the unit * SAZ-2000D Output Inductor : ~47.5mm * SAZ-2500D Output Inductor : ~53.9mm -- significantly larger as the output section is equal to the old 3000D --- I'll be doing power testing as time allows and then some solid abuse testing. Once all of this is complete we can start production and offer a pre-sale.

Hey guys I've got a question for ya, on the 100.4 you can run 2 mids and 1/2 subs on it right? I'm not sure on the wiring on it, I think I might be right though? 100wx2 @ 4 ohm stereo (mids) and 320W x 1 @ 4 ohms Would that be right for two mids and a sub on it? What I have now is a 1500, and a 10" FI BL in my s10. All I really listen to is hard rock anymore, so the 1500 I have now is more or so less useless to me now. Also could it be wired all 4 to mids/highs and have a sub run off of it also? I'm not sure in my wiring lol.. Would trading a 1500 for a 100.4 be a decent deal, or no? Sorry for the dumb questions Thanks

Playing in the shop One 4500D @ 1.33 ohm on one battery vehicle off. We stuck the mic in the port -- the score you see is 35 Hz. The SA-12s with the screws on them are NOT hooked up at all... the big box is moving them with pressure. It will have alot more power on it in vehicle... we expect good results !

whats a cheap way to measure my DB'S.
