Sundown Audio

hi everyone need some advice on a custom built box for a single 12 inch sa-12 2 ohm sub. I'll be building the box with 3/4 mdf wood and the space i have to work with is 41 inches from left to right and 17 inches in depth. the car the sub Will be going in is a 2001 kia sportage ex small size suv and the amp i will be useing is a pyle plad3300d which puts out 1200 to 1300 watts at one ohm. now i never built me a custom vented box before but i have built a few sealed boxes in the past so my skill level for building a vented box is low. the music i listen to is rap and hip hop and my goal is to more daily driving and a little competition so i want the most spl i can get but w…

Sundown was in attendance big time today. Even Mr. Sundown himself came down to check it out. I hope you had fun and plan on coming down again. We're definately interested in doing a few shows up there in NC.

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…

As some of you may know, I am the one who had the first pair of Nightshades delivered, thanks a whole lot Chad and Jacob. I've run into major financial problems and I need a little bit of room to breathe. My subs are the ones pictured in most of the earlier threads from Chad. The subs are still in mint condition and were only hooked up for a maximum of 3 weeks due to amp and now engine problems. I can post more pictures but as the title says, 15" Nightshade D2. PM for price team mates only. Thanks. -Matt

Sundown's website just got a major over taking. Switched over to a new platform. Great looking product pages, FAQ section are just starters for this. Check it out and see what you think! Brought to you by: LFTNdesign http://www.sundownaudio.com

sup forum. I'm wanting to upgrade my front stage . i have a saz 1000d with an icon 12'' box built to specs. i'm leaning torwards rainbow slc 265.25 since my id CX.62 v2's blew ( friends borrow + drinking = blown ) the amp i have for them is a cheap performance technique. i was wondering if the sax 125.2 is good for frontstage.. simple question but i want to confirm before spending $$ thanks!

I Dont Really Understand how to bridge a Dual 2 Ohm Speaker, On My Speaker I Have Positive Crosing Over To Positive And Negative Crossing Over To Negative (1 Ohm Load) Like Shown How Do I Hook This Up To The Amp? Because The 2 Outside Terminals Which are Usually Positive Negative Are Positive Positive

i was always wondering about this lol...how did you come up with the name? any reason or meaning to it, or were u just in the sun looking down and decided to name it that or something ahhah :bigclap:

More power this time... current clamp shows ONE coil. We hooked each coil up to a seperate 120v circuit for a total power of ~8800 watts at the start, dropped to the 7000s then stayed around that point until failure at 30 seconds. Prior to this video we had JUST finished plugging it in to one socket in series for around 2000 watts for FIVE MINUTES - so it was already hot! The Monster lives up to it's name. If you are wondering about the frame... Brandon had two in his wall without motor supports and it broke off some of the screws allowing the bottom to swing out and break off the top of the frame. So... motor supports are a must.

just lookin to make my door speakers loud i wanted to just grab a 100.4 for all 4 doors or will there be any difference if i use two 100.2's

What would the best wiring kit for the SAE 1200D be? 4 guage? 0 guage? Also is the knukonceptz wiring any good? there prices are pretty cheap

when was it coming again?

Greetings currently own a z v.4 10. It is a 97 Tahoe being ran off of a saz 2500 v.2. It would be more cost effective to re-cone it to a 18". it would cost little over twice as much two add another z v.4 10, but just because it cost less doesn't mean it will sound better. basically I'm after more output. better low end extension. I had it in my cutlass and it sounded great but in the Tahoe I have a lot more cabin space. any suggestions between the two? thanks in advance for the input.

I am building a competition van for a customer and it will have either 16 XS Power D3100s or 20 2400s (working on sponsorship), 4 Kicker Warhorse amps, and a deck mounted in rear for burps with a audio control line driver (8v). This will be walled off and strictly for Competition use only and tuned around 70HZ. The customer wants to go with Kicker Solo X 18s but I am currently trying to get him into Sundown Nightshade V2 18s. There will be 4 subs and each one will be hooked up to one warhorse at full power (approx 10k rms each sub). In the van already i have deadened the cabin (this is only modification allowed in front of B-Pillar in USACI Modfified Division), ran 2 4/0 …

First off, have to give a big thanks to Jacob for allowing me to use the Sundown logo, and for supplying me with some hi-res jpegs. Finally got some free time in one of our CNC's and got this in. All i have left to do is paint the lettering to make it stand out more. Something wrong with the way the pic came out on this one on the "audio" shape Now to do the other one.

Has anyone tried the Sa-12 's in a 4 order bandpass ? What kind of number? I'm thinking of trying 3 in a 4 order. Can anyone design this type of setup?

I'm planning on purchasing the SAZ-3000D for my Nissan Sentra and would like to upgrade my alternator. What size alternator would you recommend?

about to build a box for a 99 s10 ext cab, single 15 nightshade. what size box should i build. i have designed a box right now that is... net air space 4.72ft3. port area 65.25 in2. @31.85 hz will this be ok?

Over the last few days I was home and able to run a couple tests with my gear. I was pleasantly surprised to see these numbers when I clamped my pair of SAZ-1500Ds strapped at 2 ohms (1-per), car on with factory alt, off of a little 600CA battery: ~3,100WRMS I built my first attempt at a box strictly geared towards SPL, and after tinkering with it a bit worked up to a score of 146.0 dbdrag style, using these amps and two 12" RE SXs out of a saturn trunk. Just figured I'd share the results... I have big plans for this summer once I get a hold of a new battery and some time to build/test.

This is my first post in this wonderful forum so please pardon my ignorance. I just got two saz 2500d's and wow what an awesome piece of design. I wanna run these two amps strapped together and Ive seen the diagram for how to hook them up. My only trouble is does one have to gain match the amps? I know that the one amp is the slave to the other and uses the settings from the master amp but no where it says about the gain. Thanks in advance and all b happy to post the outcome of these two bad boys strapped together.

These are from Derrick's Explorer : Starting battery + 2x Powermaster D3100s used for testing 3980 @ 0.25 rising to 0.65 @ 11.2v (engine on) 2050 @ 1 rising to 2.44 @ 12.2v (engine off) ----- These are from Ray Farmer: Okay, I have done my SAZ3500D 12volt power test. I would like to say, WOW!! My nominal ohm load was 0.5 ohms. I did plenty of test but I got the amp to do its power at the proper settings and did 3 test and took the average. I used 2 x NSB-g3100 to power the amp, Starting voltage 13.2 Test 1 75.1 volts 39.9 amps 2996.5 box rise 1.88 voltage drop 12.2 Test 2 75.1 volts 37.7 amps 2827.5 watts box rise 1.99 voltage drop 12.1 Test 3 76.0 volts 39.5 amps 3002.0 …

so can i just change the frame on a sa-8 v1 to a as-8 v1.5 NOT sa-8V2??????
