Sundown Audio

ok here is the question . Assuming everything is the same. Same car, enclosure built to the specs of the sub ect, ect....... which would sound better and why. A sub with a rms rating of 2000 watts with only 1000 wrms going to it or, a sub with a rms rating of 1000 watts with 1000 wrms going to it????????? hope to see if I'm right.

Back in stock now with D2 and D4.

I've got a couple of questions for ya. I recently purchased an saz1500 with the intent of running only one SA8 (d2). Which I have already purchased too. The goal is a tight musical system for daily driver. The concept for the box - install is to build box tall and set in the corner of the hatch back leaving room for groceries. I have approximately 2 cu ft to work with. I would like to have the ported box portion on top of a battery compartment using the same enclosure. Here are some questions 1. Will I have battery problems because of the vibes from the box? 2. Will 1500 be too much for one 8? 3. Is a second battery needed? Vehicle 2009 Honda Fit Stock HU Stoc…

Is it possible to get a custom recone for a pair of RE HC's that I have?

How much would I gain if running one NS 18" D2 on saz-2000D against saz-1500D? Would there be difference on the ear with 500W more from saz-2000D? Is it really necessary to run over 1kw more than rated(assuming the underrated power of saz2000) to get loud or I should run 1500D and save that 100$. I don't really care about the meter. Just want to save some money.

How do i get some of these? i broke one pretty easily today and would like to get a few spares to keep on hand. do i get them from jacob or dose home depot sell something close. if so what size, what pitch? thanks

This may be a dumb question but.......i saw on another thread about the 8" @150db talking about you running it on a 3500d @1 ohm and putting about 1500-1700 to it correct? But the 3500d is rated 3500 @1. Does it put out the 15-17 due to gain and volume turned down, or what? Also, i see people talking about running .5ohm daily, what kind of power does the 3500 put out there without clipping? what about 1 ohm @ 16v?

Goofy question I know, but my 100.4 just came in and I was admiring it... Tehn as I was looking at the lil knob that come with it, I had the thought that I don't normally adjust my gains or boosts after they are set... Also, I don't really have a place or want to mount 2 knobs up front on the TrailBlazer when I get my system in and if I ever do get the system in teh Blazer, I sure don't want 6+ more little knobs up front there...

Hey guys, just curious I'm reading on another forum that the sae and saz are comparable! Is this true and are only about 200 watts in diference can anyone elaborate? If so which is better for a single 12 to 15 inch woofer rated about 1-1.5k.

So Sean is up with his CRX and we are doing some testing... we hit a brick wall last time at 149.0 dB using a 4" aero-port. So... Sean and I got the idea to try a 6" aero-port for the single 8" woofer! The result is 149.9 dB so far. Peak is 66 Hz in the kick... the CRX normally peaks at 68 Hz so we are going to work on re-tuning to break the 150 outlaw. Fun stuff We have as much port area as cone are now *laughs*

What gauge of wire will your Sub's push connectors accept. Specifically the new 8's?

FTW!

I have a set of cd1e horns and need to tune this amplifier down. The horns are 40 watts each @ 8ohm. What should the output voltage look like from the amplifier? Does this sound right? E^2/R = W (W*R)^(1/2) (40*8)^(1/2) ~= 17.89 volts

I understand that the specs on this amp state 160x2 @ 4 ohm bridged and they are underrated. I was just wondering what these amps normally put out at 2 channels @ 4 ohm bridged.

I have a prototype SAE-100.4 on the way with my 1200D shipment... here are a few pictures of it to share : It features a new double sided board design like the SAE-1200D v.2 does. Crossovers are very basic as it is an SAE model and it is also made in China alongside the SAE-1200D. This will NOT replace any SAX multi-channel models... it is simply a part of our lower cost SAE line. There is NO ETA YET... price is also pending.

I ordered a 50.4 in hopes of bridging it to get the proper power I need out of my midbasses. After purchasing the amplifier, I looked at the wiring diagram for bridging and it only shows mono subwoofer. I wanted to run these at stereo for my midbasses xover actively from 60-1.2kHz. Is bridging out of the question?

Any updates yet? Can't decide to wait for a 10 or just get a 12. If the price diff is minimal, I'll probably end up getting a 12.

whats the cost of reconing a 15" ns to a 12" ns?

The guy in this thread basically had the same questions as I. I thought about bumping it, but it might suit me best to have my own thread. If I want my High Pass crossover point to be at 3.5khz @24db slope, then playing a tone at 3.5KHZ should be half the wattage of what frequency? Should I expect full wattage at 4khz?

I am a member on some other forums, one of which likes to preach pure ESSQUE. One of the topics I have seen that rears its head is, at 1 ohm dcr loads the overall sound quality suffers. So if I understand correctly the distortion goes way up, woofer control is lost etc... So if a Sundown amp is run at 1 ohm dcr and is not driven to clipping but within its normal parameters of use, say 1/3 power has there been anything noticed within the SQ parameters as far as audible distortion, less woofer control? Or can I say that Sundown is designed for this specific use? I get PM's a lot being called a fanboy but the dang thing just works for me. As well as my son, brother and se…

That is all you get until the prototype is here I will post pictures of a fully assembled woofer when it shows up ! (There are no other pictures of it uploaded anywhere on the server either)

Due to shipping delays the Z v.2 ETA is being pushed back to January 2010. I was hoping to start shipping them before the end of the year but that will not happen. There will not be a pre-sale but I will offer introductory pricing on them when all my parts are in.

The Dual-2 SA-12s will be in stock shortly... likely within 7-14 days -- along with the second shipment of the Dual-4 version. I've had alot of people anxiously awaiting the Dual-2 version so I thought I would let everyone know
