Sundown Audio

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

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?

can i order directly from jacob, if so how

Last night as I was just listening to the radio as I was driving along and I began to notice an odd smell in my car. My volume was low, and I have not played my music loud in a while. Initially I thought maybe something was just coming through the vents outside. However, when I got home and popped my trunk I was greeted with a haze of white smoke!!!!! I am running two amps; an SAE-1200D and a SAX-50.4. Upon further investigation this morning I checked the impedance of all my speakers and they are what they should be and my voltages are correct at the amp. After letting the trunk air out a little bit I noticed that the smell seemed to be associated with the 1200D and n…

came in yesterday, got her in and play with her for a lil while. figure i'd post some pics, know yall have seen em many times. pics are with a phone, kinda crappy quality. ya, i know its an ugly trunk, its not a show off trunk, no show, all go i havent had very many quality subs, so my review is pretty much worthless, but here goes. my last sub was an acoustic elegance c15.1, an old av clone, so thats all i have to compare this to, and this was a drop in replacement for that. first off, it looks gorgeous. got her in and wow, she sounds pretty good, not quite as musical as the ae, but not too much different. the ae sub kinda struggled with the higher bass notes be…

Was hoping I could use the stock frame and I was able to do so! Just had to adapt it a bit... one of our spider bolt down rings worked perfectly for the job. This woofer has 3 Hard Nightshade spiders, a Z v.2 prototype D2 coil (tight gap so NS coil would not fit), and a light weight cone similar to the Z v.1 but with a wide roll surround. Once the dust cap glue dries I'll measure specs on it to see what we got * Steel spider ring glued into place (glue under, around, and below the ring) * Overview of the ring -- also changed original basket screws to a higher grade metal with allen heads. * Gluing bottom triple joint * Lining it up and getting ready to solder the lea…

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 !

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

whats a cheap way to measure my DB'S.

Thanks Jake they are beautiful in person, and the craftsmanship is by far the best ive ever had. Can't wait to hear this setup, will be done with some vids hopefully by Sunday.

Thanks guys for all the support -- this month has been the best in our history for sales. I appreciate all the continued business and support ! To celebrate I may put some things on sale for March

Im thinking bout picking one of these up for my daily Warden set-up. Wanted to see what tests have shown in a standard 12/14.4 volt set-up, id be wiring to .5 ohm.

how could this have happen? i have 2 sa-12's the other one looks ok but i don't know. the amp i had was a sae-1200d. if you need more info let me know. i will get better pic in the morning.

so here's my dillema. i bought 2 sa12s after hearing my brothers friend erik talk about them on and on. they were on ebay and i got 2 fro 200. sorry im ballin on a budget. so when i decided to buy my amp i guess i lost my mind cause i bought to big of an amp just because i could and the price was good on db-r. was originally gonna run the 12s in my civic but its kind of ugly right now and just bought a pair of 23s for my tahoe so i might as well put the system in it. if I were to run 3 or 4 dual 4 sa 12s what would this amp put out at 2 ohms or 2.667? it will be a sealed enclosure cause i dont think i can fit a ported enclosure behind my third row along with an extra ba…

Hey guys, Seems like everything is selling out this month -- that happens when sales climb WAY faster than expected I suppose SA-12 stock is low but I have TWO production runs on order back to back. I easily sold 2-3x more than I predicted of these -- so thanks to all of the new and existing Sundown customers who are supporting our new SA line woofers. We are growing really fast this year so I apologize for the low stock / out of stock at this time -- I am working to get inventory lined out for the updated demand, though!

I read somewhere that the little saz 1000 d was discontinued. Is it true ? A friend of mine needs one more for his instal. Can he still buy one? He may not be ready to do so, but he really needs it. He already has 2 of them strapped running a 15" xcon, and he needs one more to strapp with his 3rd saz 1000 (that he bought from me !! ) He is building a demo car with 4 saz 1000, 2 15" xcons, and a lot of speakers in the front doors. He needs a 2nd JBL Crown (bpx 600.4) amp for his mids and highs. Everything will go in a small 2 doors Renault Clio. I will make a build log, of course !

Here are a few vids I shot of the cracked night shade in action powered by my new purchased 3500. Thanks for the enclosure tip jacob sounds great. Dont beat me up on the install so busy working makeing everyone else car look good. Its just temp. anyway going to send it off for a recone soon.

I just wanted to send a thanks to Sundown for sponsoring the car audio part of Carl Casper. I think the guys that used your equipment there represented you well. I just wish that you could have had some sort of booth to sell various merchandise.....shirts, stickers, order equipment or whatever .

Hey guys -- I am behind on emails... not ignoring anyway... will take me several more business days to catch up.

so ive just finished building my 2nd box for these, and still not satisfied. ive done subs forward, port up in middle, but the box made me move my seat to close to the steering wheel it was 6 cubes 80sq inches of port, and i think there wasn't enough port area. sounded good though. my new box is subs up, port up (drivers side) 6 cubes, 94 sq inches of port. both box's tuned to 32 hz, so im looking to for help on something will i will be happy with, im not looking for numbers, just something that gets low and hella loud at it. my truck is a 99 s10 ext cab. do i need a bigger box for such low tuning? higher tuning? i play a lot of low 30-35 hz songs when i have it full ti…
