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

Will 2 15" SA 15s have enough room as of specs in a ported box that is approximately 36" long, 18" deep and 24" tall? Just wondering because I would like to put two 15s in the cab of my 98 s10 extended cab.

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 went to get something to eat earlier and went to play my system that im tryn hard not to use till the season starts and i rolled into a beat really quick,which i shouldnt have,but did,and my amp cut off.its a 1500d and it didnt go into protect just turned off.i turned my head unit off and checked my fuse and it was fine.i turned the hu back on and it came right back on.weird huh.its dark right now so i couldnt check to c if a sub blew or what,but its still hittn hard as heck!!!anybody now what happened?thanks

Hey guys, Just for the record I do own, use and love a SAZ1500D. This was asked by my son's friend after seeing my amp, and listening what it could do powering my TC3000. He is planning a dual 10 inch box, has not bought woofers as of yet. true power output sound quality/control of woofers power delivered requirements (Stock Mazda 3 electrical) Is there a reason one of you gents and/or ladies would buy one or the other? I am posting this question because for a dealer specific forum, I have seen some very non biased responses. Also leave out the excellent customer service part of Jacob. I have tried to use that with this kid and it doesn't work. He is interested in b…

hey guys so my last box was a failed box for a few reason so i am looking to make something else! here is my design let me know what you guys think of it and or any other suggestion you can recommend (the one on the left) in case anyone is wondering my max dimensions are 17x29x36 here is my old box design this box failed for a few reasons like a shyt load of flex and a general lack of space in my car available. so anyways let me know what you guys think of the new idea, any recommendations comments concerns etc... let me know and thanks for your help Kenneth

well i went from 12 volt to 17.9 volt's with a drop to 15.? and did'nt make a gain i actully did better with 12 volt by .3 i tried a line driver (8volt) and did'nt help a bit. wtf is going on here any idea's ?

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

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?

Here is a teaser of one to come. There will be 3 to start in the following resolutions: 1600x1200 1440x900 1280x1024 1024x768 800x600 As always, please submit suggestions. Wallpaper courtesy of Kyle Blackmore of Edmonton, Alberta.

How many amp hours will be needed to run a Saz-3000d on .5 ohms? i will be having a 270 amp alt. thanks, Julian.

well sunday i had a chance to fondle, grope (sp?), kiss...lick, oh and a whole LOTTA touching smelling ...gazing....i winked at it a few time and when i put it in 3 cubes sealed with 1 sundown 1500 @ 1ohm.....it was sex to my ear....i almost had an erection....i find myself rubbing it alot trying to get my rocks off....i let it lay on top of me....i should have made a porn movie it will be called "NITESHADE - WHO'S ROCKING UR DRAWS OFF?" I put it on the meter(tl mic).....and out the box and into a 3 cube sealed box withone saz1500 in the back of a 02 pathfinder ( sub facing back) it was able to do a 141 sealed at the glass on music....i belive i have that on video...i w…

Just finished unloading... will ship pre-orders next week as they all must be tested. I am very happy so far with how they turned out -- hope that customers enjoy them as much as I think they will ! If I ever get time I may drop one of these in my Jeep and see if I can still do a 150 with one of these 15s *laughs* Would be fun to try at least.

Well,As I mentioned here. I did get a chance to hook up the second SAZ 3000D today. I measured a nominal 3 ohm load with each coil series and each woofer parallel to eachother. Anyway in theory there would be something to gain (stability if nothing else) running these subs strapped to the 3 ohm load. Initial testing reveals noticeable gain in output and in SQ. BUT there's a nasty engine noise from the subs now. Seems to not be effected by the gain. Both amps connected to the same battery (in the trunk) with <3ft lengths of #1/0 guage. resting at 12.6V car off (total 3 batteries in car). RCA is a 1.5ft piece of high qualtiy patch cable. Now if I ONLY remov…

I was wondering how powerful are the sundown 3000D amps? I have a 91 Acura Integra, and im working on a system with a Fi BTL 18" tuned to 33hz... I was gonna get the RF T20001bd to run it, but then I ran across sundown, and honestly, I don't know too much about them, but im reading good things..... So now im in a toss up here.... I know the T series fosgates are under rated, but I need peoples honest opinion here.... do you think I could get a lil more out of the 3000D than the RF T2K? How well you think that 3000d will move that BTL? I F'N hate decisions!!! haha Help me decide please, Thanks.... John

just had to say i love this amp, sounds 100% better than my last sub amp. if your reading this forum like i did before purchasing one, just do it.

So to make a long story short I have a polk amp that puts out 573 watts rms. The rated rms level for the e 12 is 400 and my amp can't even push it. I don't know if it is because the sub hasn't broken in yet or if because this sub is simply a Badass. Anyway the point I am trying to make is... Thanks Jacob for making a beast subwoofer. Now just time to get a more Badass amp to push this bad boy.

Hello Enlosure Guru's, I would like to seek your opinion, I would like to build a box for nightshade 12" 6th order bandpass. Please see below information using 3/4 mdf with no bracing support. Number of driver = 1 FS = 41 hz QTS = .44 VAS = .413 cubic feet Rear Chamber Net Volume = .96 Cubic feet Tuning = 37 hz Rear chamber depth = 10 " Front Chamber Net Volume = 1.16 Cubic feet Tuning = 74.7 Hz Box Dimension H=14" W=36" Depth = 14" Thank you in advance.

ok well there is nothing wrong with amp except for the fact that it draws soo much power them most accessorys in my car turn off when the amp trys to hit a real low note. my deck will shut off and so will my radar detector, which is hooked into the ciggy lighter. so im wondering what i should do, im thinking that its from having a lack luster electrical system that is not able to supply the car, and the amp with all the current needed to keep everything running smoothly. the odd thing is the car itself will run just fine with no problems at all. so i was wondering if i should run the subs at 8 ohm each for a 4 ohm load so the amp will draw less untill i can afford some el…

Heres my first post, its been hard in the past for me to sign up on the forum. This is a test from about 2 months ago. Each amp is at .5 ohm. http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j242/fun...nt=SUNP0001.flv

im considering 2 SA-12's sealed 1.5 each off a sae-1200d. This sub work well sealed? Im curious about xmax specs on them.They seem VERY well built which is one of the reasons they are a top choice atm

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

What would be the best way to hook up 3 1500's to 6 Sa-12's. Can they be strapped together? Can I use in a master/salve if I put 2 Sa's on each one? Each amp will be running at .5
