Sundown Audio

well guys i had all these plans for my mazda.. i finally figured the car out as far as getting it loud. and today i had a wreck. it had soo much force it broke the screws out of the metal holding the box down and shoved it through the trunk opening.

I just wanted to post a thread saying thank you to Jacob over at Sundown for some excellent customer service. It could not have gone any better. Story: A few weeks ago I started to have problems with my SAE-1200Dv1. It was mysteriously jumping in and out of protect. I tried to troubleshoot myself but could not get it working, so I sent Jacob an e-mail for some assistance. He asked me to verify my voltages with a DMM and everything checked out alright. However, the amp was still going into protect. After about a week of troubleshooting, trying to avoid an RMA, he decided it was best to just send the amp in. All I had to do was give him the invoice from where it was origina…

It seems we lost a TON of data with the server down time... hopefully the SSA staff can restore it.

Ok I'm running 4 12" subs on a 3k @ .5 but i'm planning to change to 4 SA-12 d2's. I'm wondering if I get more power out of 2 1500's strap @ 1 ohm then I would out of the 3k @ .25?

So I had my cracked nightshade 12 reconed by Jacob to a 15 and had him add the V2 coil along with a extra spider. Honestly all I can say is Damn I have owned A lot of subs in my life, but this is by far the loudest I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. The bass from this sub is violent. I know my blazer hates me everytime I start my truck. I am pround to tell people I have sundown in my truck, I also own a saz 3500. So if your thinkin of purchasing any sundown product don't think just buy it. Great products Jacob keep up the great work!!! I will post a vid when I get home, havin problems with my droid posting the link.

enuff Blablabla Taddow how ya like me Now... will post #s after show !!!

Hi, i run a Fi BTL 15 fully loaded on a Rockford T20001bd. I was thinking of running it with the saz-3000d. Worth to upgrade? And where can i buy sundown gear in germany?? Any Input?

I plan to get two SA 12s along with either a sax 1200 or saz 1500. I need some box dimensions and what one of those amps to get. I mainly play rap with a lot of lows if that helps. Thanks! Out of all the designs on here there are no dual 3.5^3 enclosures, and those don't list the frequency.

Happened alot faster than I thought... but the first run of motors is totally sold out as of today. If you have already paid for one you are fine (I saved yours too, Fabio) -- just did inventory this morning and we cannot sell any more than we already have. It will be a few months for more as I had to get a huge amount of amps started before the MOSFET shortage hit and also had to strengthen stock of the better selling SA line first. I will make a post when they are available again -- of course parts and re-cones will remain available the whole time. Just no new units until we get motors again.

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 …

well i hooked up the 1500d in place of my sub channel on my belle and i with i had a meter.not much difference in sound. i have it @.7ohm (dual 1.5 ohm) and i just can't hear any difference in the 2 amp's.but as soon as i get my meter I'm going to test the differnce. yes i have 2 battery's to run off of one optima and 1 stinger in the hatch. anyways later

Don't mind the title but it made you look.. Well I must say my sundown is GREAT, my pioneer SPL 12" D2's sound great but was lacking in bass race today. So am pulling them back out ( I just got them in yesterday ) and want to run 2 15" so I can get the numbers I am looking for 145+ run in 139.9 class, but my problem is do you think 2 FI BL's D2 on a sundown 3000 at .5 ohms before rise would be ok or is that going to be to much for the BL's for a 30 sec bass race run? If the 3000D is to much for the FI's I have would one sundown nightshade D2 with upgrades be better. I am sure the 2 15" BL's would be louder right due to cone area. Reason I am thinking the BL's is because…

Currently running a 3500 at 1ohm. Haven't clamp metered it yet but what sort of voltage should i be seeing across the speaker terminals. Reason i ask is sub sound awesome at 71-72v but one notch more on the vol sends it up to 75v and I loose output and the sub makes a fart noise. Cheers your brother from across the water.

Well some peeps sent me up a nightshade to play with (Thanks Travis and Eric!!) well on with my results thus far. Box is my standard "scrapy" box, 2.7 cu ft with one 6" aero tuned to about 39 hz where my car peaks at 42 hz. Car is a 1997 Chevy Cavalier z24 I have 1 yellow top battery under hood and one kinetic in the trunk. the results are: dB drag: 148.3 bass race: 147.3 Midwest spl: 149.5, 149.3 on video Usaci: 150.6 Street beat: 149.2 Now i have an saz-3500 to throw on it, we will see how far this jumps

Is it possible to switch the casing around o the amp, so the RCAs are on the left side? Also Jacob I need two speakers screws for a 100.4 please

What the minimum and maximum voltage u could run...say a 100.4...or 4500d...what would be the safest for a 16volt system for a 4500d?

This is our second full-range Class-D / 19v stable multi-channel to hit the market after the SAX-125.4 model. It is a VERY compact unit designed to fit just about anywhere. They are available NOW for $400 from any authorized dealer in the USA. ----------

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?

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 read some were that the SAE-1200D is not stable @ 1 ohm. is this true? would i be able to run an fi bl with dual 2 ohm coils at 1 ohm for long periods without harming the amp?

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???
