Sundown Audio

The molds completed a few days ago and the first samples rolled out -- here are a few of the first look photos from our basket manufacturing company! I am super excited about the potential these will bring to out larger woofers. Once our new spiders, cones, surrounds, and spacers are all tooled we can really show off what these are capable of -- those parts should have completed samples as well soon too. These things carry some serious heft... the base plate that bolts to the motor is 9mm thick un-painted compared to 5mm on most 4 and 12-spokes and 8mm on the Ti-18 frames (add about 0.5mm for paint). They are the strongest frames that I am aware of ever to be produced. --…

I have only had stock car audio so far in my cars and they always state their wattage here and there but, i am curious, what is 100 watts a channel really like. Im going to be buying speakers with a 90db sens and rated about 150 watts max around 70 or so rms, and well, what is it really like compared to a good stock system. Home audio wise, 100 watts is enough to really push high quality towers with beautiful sound, but then again, they are in enclosures which really compliment them. Car audio, a bit different. Now ontop of that, what is 50 watts rms like. My gf has a caliber and just has coaxials right now, she can appreciate better sound but itsd not really her thi…

2-SI Mag D2 12's and 1 SAZ-1500D Here is the link to some testing we did for the NSPL Comp. tomorrow. Thank god Jake was there to stop us from using 2-1500Ds last night.........we would have hurt something!! Hope yall enjoy:) Nikki

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

gonna start my build soon and just wondering what you guys have built?

does anyone know about how many watts a 300d will put off at a .5 ohm. with high output alternator 3 good batts. and around 14.2 volts?thanks for the help guys.hope to get some good numbers!!!

Just finished wiring up my car and I'm kinda confused about the settings on the amp. Heres my setup: SAX 100.4 (#1) Bridged 1&2 = Left Mid Bridged 3&4 = Right Mid SAX 100.4 (#2) Ch 1 - Left Tweeter Ch 2 - Right Tweeter Ch 3&4 = Saved for future sub Ok from my previous installed with a Pioneer Premiere 860MP running actively, I know where I want my Xovers to be at, but I just dont know how set that on the amp. Its been four years since I last setup my system. I recently swapped headunits to a Pioneer Avic D3 and now will be going passive. Heres how I had it set on the 860MP: Low : LPF=50Hz Mids: HPF=63Hz / LPF=2kHz High: HPF=2.5kHz How would I adjust thos…

finally got the front stage all setup, and painted and fiberglassed. Time to start building for the bass now.

Who would be interested in an SD-1 v.2 10" woofer sale? Much like the SAX-100.2 I am finding these under-appreciated and would like to see more out there! http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=14141 * Customer Review http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=11420 * Pics from prototyping http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=12478 * More information from the original pre-sale thread back in November 2007 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...217&hl=sd-1 * Production model pictures

ok i have my sundown shirt... black is a bit hot on comp days sometimes.. lol.. but i love the shirt... i really think we need hats... i dunno if jacob has something like that in the works but id be willing to pay good for a sundown audio hat....

* Box is three layers thick on the front for amp mounting - but we are still trying to find another place to mount the amps. * Huge port! * Brandon's trophies from the show, and our lucky extra dBeez! * Damage to the roof from demoing at the show * Another view The deadener is also ripped all around the edges of the perimeter of the roof... little pieces were falling down all day!

woofersetc_outlet has nightshade v2 for sale. http://cgi.ebay.com/NIGHTSHADE-V2-SUNDOWN-AUDIO-SUB-15-DVC-2-OHM-SUBWOOFER-/110593096169?pt=Car_Subwoofers_Enclosures&hash=item19bfdcb9e9 Anything wrong with buying from them?

I just wanted to post up some pics of my second 3000D. The new heat-sink feels a heck of a lot heavier then the old one. I'm going to try to get some numbers tonight. And a pic of what they are powering

Sundown Audio has been selling off used, b-stock, and refurbished amplifiers as well as other miscellaneous items that need to be sold on e-bay for the last two weeks. So far it has been off to a promising start. If you want to see what is up for sale at any given time check auctions from "sundownz" on e-bay: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsundownzQQhtZ-1 Usually it will be various amplifiers... occasionally other items will be for sale that either belong to me or were somehow acquired by Sundown Audio.

'06 Nissan Altima 2 RF T1 15s & 2 Sundown 1500s '93 Ford Explorer 2 Sundown NightShade 15s & 2 Sundown 1500s Yes they use the AudioControl meter but its still fun and yes we both took first in our classes by a huge margin. I was just over 10db louder then 2nd place in my class.

Can't seem to find the info anywhere. What diameter coil do you use on the SA-10?

http://www.sundownaudio.com/ Site is up and running with it's new look! Big thanks to Brad Blankenagel for making it happen.

alright well i just got my install in my crx finished today. and decided to show up at some small competition in danville illinois called bass wars or something like that. unfortunetly they are still using the audiocontrol. im running 2 Treo SSi 15s off a sundown 3000d with the gain turned all the way down. VERY BADASS might i add with the gain at 0. there wasnt much competition there. well technically there was pretty much nobody that knew what they were doing it seemed like. but hey u'll have that. the crew running it didnt expect the score i put up SUPRISE! pics of the install/car/score figured since im team sundown and that my van kicked the can id re…

I just moved to west sac and went to a dbdrag show and I didnt see one person running sundown.seen a ton of DC stuff wow do they like dc here. I'm looking to start an s10 build SSNW in an s10 reg cab and was thinking about running some more sundown.what do you think? going to start small couple of 18's and a single amp for now. but i have to find the right truck first.

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.

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 …

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.

tried my damnest to get a 140 out of it, just so I could talk smack, but I'm impressed with the number, since the box is tuned to 34hz and the subs are seeing around 350 watts or so. Forgot to mention, these are the 10's also.
