Sundown Audio

Somewhere I saw a post or an article, I think by Jacob, that was telling about Sundown amps having issues with certian RCAs and working better with some... Can someone direct me to this article or info??? I did try the "Search" button, but got no love....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TEAM SUNDOWN FAMILY!!!!

Sundown will be closed Thursday and Friday... seriously Going to visit family for the Holiday.

What sizes of a box in centimeters, for one SA-12 with adjustment(option) of slot-hole port 31Гц? Will work with SAZ-1500 on 2Ом. Parameters: T/S D4 RE: 7.09 ohms Fs: 28.4 Hz Qes: 0.511 Qms: 5.75 Qts: 0.469 Vas: 40.3 L BL: 25.04 NA Le: 7.7 mH Mms: 252 g BL^2 / RE: 88 600 watts RMS And what case is better the closed box or FI on every day? Interests the best box for the given subwoofer ! Beforehand many thanks responded =)

I am not planning an 8" for this line any time soon... but I am planning 10s, 12s, and 15s... also... I do not have an ETA just yet, first prototypes are on the way then testing will be in order for a while to make sure the design suits all of my requirements. Just though I would offer a sneak peak of the 15" model. Initial MSRP also posted... may be subject to small changes based on tweaks needed. I AM planning to use spring loaded push terminals on production... I don't like the spade connectors. Some T/S Specs measured on the Klippel machine at the factory... I will measure them myself as well once my prototypes arrive. 10" S4 Coil MSRP: $130 Re: 3.86 ohms Fs: 31.8 Hz…

Well i need some help choosing my next amp! here is my future application, 2-15inch NS v1 (already purchased) 2-saz2000(1 of 2 purchased) 1-ID horns 2-nsb 90's big 3 h/o alt (200amp) Now my question is either the 50.4 or the 125.2! I need some help deciding. both amps have pluses and i am leaning towards the 50.4. So here are the immediate plus i see: 50.4, future application due to the 4channels and resell able 50W x 4CH RMS 4 ohm stereo 80W x 4CH RMS 2 ohm stereo 160W x 2CH 4 ohm bridged 125.2 more power, less $20 lol 125 watts x2 @ 4 ohms 200 watts x2 @ 2 ohms 400 watts x1 @ 4 ohms bridged Now for the question which would you choose to power a pair of ID Horns…

Hey, i would be glad to get some Suggestions from you Guys I wanna Build a Box for the 2 18s i gonna buy from Tye, they will be running off 2 3000Ds the Box should be good for Daily groundpounding but my goal is the 150. What kinda Airspace, Port Area and Port length would you guys suggest me? This is what my Trunk looks like (not my car) i got the dimensions from the back part of the trunk, but since fitting Port and Subs at the Top will be kind of hard (damn domes) i thought about doing something like a mini wall with subs and port behind the frontseats facing forward what you guys think?

I had my sae1200 for quite some time. Then got an SAZ1500, planned on getting a dc lvl 4xl, but got a great price on a normal lvl 4, so I went with that and sold the SAZ1500 and started using my sae1200 again. I've been trying to set the gains with my dmm, But I've run into a problem. At first I thought it might be the headunit, but I switched headunits and the problem still persists. When I set my gains with the DMM and the subs not connected to the aim, I set it to 30v, which is down slightly from 1000/sqrt 1 All EQ's and bass boosts are set to 0. Headunit volume set to 23/35, sub volume set to 7/15 When I connect the sub, and play a 50 hz tone, I start the hu volume at…

Sundown Team, I am looking at the forum about this but I can't seem to find any article discussion the difference between the two good sub aside from its RMS. Thanks

im goin back and forth between the 2. i think it would be badass to see peoples reactions off the fact that its 8's hittin that hard, but at the same time im really lookin for hard hittin mid and especially low bass wich is what makes me lean towards the 15's. so yalls input would be greatly appreciated.

I've been thinking of wiring my subs lower (see sig) to .25 ohms. Their dual 1s so it should be .25 correct, tried looking for a pic can't find. ( if you have one please post a link). My rise with the amp off is like 1.4 I believe, and close to 2 ohms when playing. Any ideas? Thanx

I was wondering if you think it would be better to get a 1000 or 1200 for a daily driver. I'm putting them on 2 15 BL's ... any idea's on this? the pro's cons to both?

i am interested in a 3 way component system. reason being, one 2 way component system wouldnt be enough for me. i think a 3 way system would be more broader, with a woofer, a vocal mid range driver and a tweeter. i was looking at focals. model 165 A3 from there "Access" line. im not that particular to where i need to hear them before i buy. im sure i would be satisfied. im use to listening to factorys so any component sysem would probably do me good. anybody have suggestions or experience with a 3 way system? and also is the rated rms power totaled between all speakers on each crossover?

alright i thought about this and figured it would be alot cheaper and alot more fun to do it this way. I figured everyone that is on team sundown that is going to sbn instead of getting a hotel room we should try to find a big ass vacation home. i have an air mattress and stuff so i dont mind sleeping on the floor and what not. it would also be alot cheaper i think for everyone. im sure we could find a big home we could cram lots of people in and im sure we have enough vehicles that seat enough people that we could caravan people to and from the show. we could leave the wives back at the house and let them all do their own thing since im sure none of them want to be u…

i have been looking at getting an 12" fi ssd and its rated at 800 rms. I have also been lookin at amps and everyone has something good to say about sundown. Would the sundown sae 1200d be a good choice for the 12" fi ssd? thanks

what would cause fuses to blow on the amp? i dont know if the plastic casing on the fuses just expanded from poppin or the casing of the fuse was slightly melted. there are 3 30a fuses, i am using a 100a maxi fuse on the battery wire (4g). i was using 12g for the speaker wire, witch i now upgraded to 9g after installing the new fuses. the amp seemed to be fine when i checked it out after cutting out. is there a certain fuse you recommend for the amp or size? also, should i use the same size wire to wire the sub inside of the box as same as the speaker wire i got running from the amp? its probably about 12g inside. thanks

OK new poster here. i have an 09 silvy crew cab. my problem is BASS ,i dont have enough i have two re audio 8"s in a .6 cuft box at this point and the samething on the other side coming soon. im looking for advice on new subs. i only have about 5.5 inches of height in my downfire box. i can get upto 1.6 cubes total iv i build one box across the back but still limited to 5.5" height. any suggestions? thanks steve

Jacob, I was wondering if you/Sundown ever considered making endcaps to go on the ends of their amps to cover all the wiring, knobs, inputs, etc... Also a space or cap two go between two amps to make it look like one continous amp would be sweet... So you would have Endcap|Amp|Endacp or Endcap|Amp|Spacercap|Amp|Endcap They look sweet the way they are, but I think this would really clean them up.... Thoughts?

Was just thinking about where the future of Sundown Audio was heading. It seems to me the company is growing and becoming more and more popular. (correct if I'm wrong) At some point in time I am assuming there will be a need for a new larger warehouse or building, and plans on incorporating standard Bench Tests for all amplifiers? Of course I, as most of the people on the forum know what the ability is of Sundown amps, getting bench results with the amp is always a nice little extra.

Im going to be running a power hungry setup. two sundown 2000d to 2 orion hcca 15.2 subs.1 sundown 100.4 and 125.2. 3 sets of componets front & rear doors & kick panels. My question is why do people run 2 or 3 lines of 0 gauge to the back? also im running a 300amp alt 1 kinetik 2000 under the hood and two 2400s for the audio. im piecing everything together rite now should be done in a month. just waiting on the componets

ill b sealin off my trunk on my next project. the new box will b 3.5 cubes @ 35 using 2 4" aeros, the rest of the equipment is n my sig. comments? dos or donts?

ok i have no idea how to wire subs off the top of my head, i have just used charts. i have gathered 2 diff wiring picstures for wiring a 2ohm dvc sub down to 1ohm. one is from rockford fosgate and the other is from the jl audio website. they show different ways of wiring it. where do i go from here?

in the bathroom...

I want to know what the damping factor is @1 ohm, 2ohm and 4ohm also wnat to know how many amps the amp takes from the electrical system at all ohms, should be ok on my stock alt 100amps

155.1 dB - woohoo This was with a "Monster" prototype woofer -- not a production speaker. Interestingly... with all my tweaks to the Z v.2 prototype it was doing the same numbers per watt up to 2500 watts (I stopped measuring with the Monster at that point). So... I may be able to match this with a full production trim Z v.2 driver. Previous best was 154.9 with an 18v electrical system and two SAZ-3000Ds on the sub... this time I am on 12v but with two SAZ-4500Ds (power is similar). Some more pics of the setup : I haven't played with front to back box positioning since I built the new amp rack (yah, slacking... I know) -- but I'll work on that a bit when I get time a…
