Sundown Audio

Hello every budy here @ the sundown forum. i'm Cornelis from Holland and have a saz 3000 in my streetmax 1/2 spl car. whe tested the amp in a couple of cars now. whit good test results. whe tested a bmw coupe E36.from 1994 .whit 2x 12 inch @ 0.5 ohm hitting 146.8 dbs @ 46 hz. and whe tested in a vw caddy from 1996 whit 5x 15 inch @ 0.5 ohm hitting 151.7 dbs @ 38 hz and in my panda streetmax 1/2 whit 1 northstar 90 nsb and 2x 18 inch @ 0.25 ohm @ 67hz whe did a 158.1 whit voltage drop 11.22 volt

ok to start off i have a 99 s10 ext cab, with a false floor in the back, under it is a saz 2K, and a 125.2. i started with only about 1" of air space above the amps before the floor, then i found out the 125.2 was getting soo hot i could not even touch it, but would never go into thermal (protect). also that was getting that hot within a 10-15min drive. i also found that it only got hot at high volumes. so today i raised the floor up 3/4" i have about 2" of air space now above the 125.2, i also added right beside the amp blowing over it, a 120mm and a 80mm fan, on the other end of the floor i have a single 80mm blowing over my 2K, as i found it really didnt get that hot. …

I was planning on switching to four nightshade 12's but the sa 12's are looking very attractive to me now. Jacob I saw you had four of them on two 3500d's how did they hold up. I have two 3000d's on four dd3512's right now and this is the third time I have had a motor shift and they are far away for warranty work vs sundown. Money isn't really an issue but I wanna get the most bang for my buck. The car is a daily driver. And I'm very careful with the gain nob. Is the output of the sa comparable to the 3512 sub

That is all.

first show with 1 1500d and 1 10" in a 02 eclipse did 145 @ 47 hrtz. it was third loudest of the day and I won my class. i had problems friday so I did'nt get to use both 1500d's and did'nt build a spl box. oh and my camera got left @ home so I will post a link for dbdrag result's when they are in. i got beat by a blazer with 2 old w6 15's and 2 dei 1100d's. and a chevy extreme with 4 9515's and 2 6500's. wish i got to use both 1500's think I could of done 147-148 easy

Hey, I tried to PM Sundownz but it would not work. Anyway, I currently have a Sundown 1000D amp and one day the blue LED decided to stop working. I don't know what caused this but I was wondering can it easily be fixed or can I get a new one shipped or what. It is not a huge deal but because of where I put it, it served as a floor light for me. Thanks, Alex

Hey you guys are really imformative on these forums. So recently I installed my new system that consisted of a Fi BTl 18, SAZ 3000d, HO alternator(220amp), Kinetik 2400 in back, all 0gauge wires, big three all in a Nissan Pathfinder. And recently I would be listening to music and then the subwoofer would cut out and there would be no output. I inspected the sub and it looked fine. I switched the sub with a JL and it did the same thing. Played then cut out. I checked rcas, ground and also checked to see if the speaker wires r hooked up right. I switched out the 3000d with a Alpine amp and it worked fine. If you guys got any input or advice i should try please let me…

I have 2x SAZ-1500Ds that are used. These amps carry full warranty coverage from your date of purchase. They are very lightly used by Team Sundown members. They are 9/10 on a bad day cosmetically, all look the same with pretty much only minor mounting foor wear. Yes, the logo is upside down on one of them... it is reversible so you can change it back. These are $450 each shipped to the continental 48 states.

Picked up a pair of 3000D's. Will be powering 2 DVC 4 ohm subs. Would there be any benefit of strapping and running a pair to 4 ohms over running just a single to 1 ohm? Output? Efficiency? etc? Any thoughts?

well might be makin a trade for a 15" d1 nightshade. i currently have a 15" hdc3 in a 4.7 cube box @ 38 hz using 3 4" aeros. just wanted to see how it would perform in this size of a box? dont have the time and money at the moment to built a new one. but will be when i get some extra time and money. oh and using an aq 2200d for power

ok my buddy is installing my 100.4 and my 32 6.5" coaxials. they hooked up 16 of the 32 speakers in channel 1 and 2. they wired sets of 8 to 2 ohm. when they turned it on it seemed really quiet. but when they turn it up the amp goes into protect. any specific reason this might be happening????

this is a neon partly built by Luist(nickname on this forum)...sounds loud but needs more volt(hes playing on the 11 volts and the 100.4 overheats) here are the pics... and here a lil vid

I am pleased to present one of our national records, established in Italy by the team sundown audio Italy - Team Dore. This machine has made the record in a category with many limitations, only 1 subwoofer, 1 amp, 1 battery, in a small hood! A "bullet A" style but with a limit of 60hz!!!!!!! This machine has 1 Nightshade 12" v.2 D1 SPL coil 1 Zapco 7500 (expect our NS-1 to improve) 2 Battery limited space, limited at 60hz ... a great and hard work for 1 year National Record at 154,3db in standard position (on glass) term-lab. a small picture on the box that shows the work and here is the video of the race I hope that jacob is happy with our work

yea I was wondering how I can get my hands on a 18 inch Nightshade??? Or even custom 12 or 15s..??? Thanks in advance guys

Today we had a gathering in hawaii with some other audiophiles.. some veterans and some new... I asked one of my fellow Sundown users to come down and demo the amp (a sundwon-3000D on a fully loaded 18" BTL)... No chit man his system was the biggest draw... everyone was gathered around his truck and wanted to just stick their head by the window.... Ride Truck x-treme (I think didn't really notice) 18" fully loaded BTL Sundown saz-3000D Iraggi 260 amp alt Kinetik batteries... The 18 BTL was a freaking monster and the sundown 3000D is a freaking BEAST........ With the windows fully down on both sides, we were doing hair tricks with GUYS LOL.... You couldn't sit in it witho…

Well, my wife entered the truck last Saturday because it looked like it was going to be a small show. Shortly there after the other cars rolled in and although a smallish show we had to go up against 5 other cars. She took home 2nd in sound quality against the likes of Audison, Hertz, Zapco installed cars. We would have been trailing just behind #1 if it wasnt for some gain hiss and a turn off (mechanical) pop....JAKE you need to get this problem handled. (amps in the cabin and it is indeed mechanical noise). Other than that, with 1/2 hour of tuning and a 2nd place finish is prety nice. We are seriously thinking about doing SQi @ West Coast Regionals (my comp car is …

hi im new to this forum and i just purchased 2 saz 3000's and at the last competition saturday my amps clipped out thinking it was the hot weather i stopped playing and let em cool then i saw a thread on this forum where sum ppl had the same problem where the slave wud switch into protect and it was due to the rcas runnning from the br out to the br in and once they switched the rca the problem was no more....now my question is what were the rcas that u had used in order to stop this problem???

Hey Guys, My new NS v2 12" will be arriving next week and I'm so excited, my question is I want to achieve the most flattest response out of this sub so any recommended enclosure and tuning? TIA

I am just wondering, coming from an Sq person to spl, I still tend to choose amps for clean power and heaps of headroom, size is never really an issue (as in footprint) as I will make it fit. I rarely even look at features as well. (mostly because I am running active, all I really need is a gain.

Due to all the negative comments that were way out of line imo on the announcement of the new SAZ-2500D. I think Jake you should post a sticky stating that all Sundown Products and specifications are subject to change due to continuing upgrades, modifications and improvements! This would help clarify to all that Sundown continues to develop and improve new models and older models will be phased out.
