Sundown Audio

prepped ready for take off

We're working on a new build for the Excursion. 16 Sundown Audio sa-12s powered by 4 saz-3500s. Box sketch Close up of ports. Three 8" custom flared ports. Cutting the wood Laminating. The entire box will be at least two layers thick. Three & four layers in certain places. Starting the router work for the ports. I call this pic Cock & Balls. Lots more work to do. I barely got started on the port work. No where near done with that piece & I have two more identical pieces to build. Stay tuned...

Does this sub compare to jl sound quality? I'm looking to replace RF T110's in a sealed box , to something in a 2-12" ported box. I listen to a variety of music( rock, rap, metal, some country, etc) , just trying to find something that sounds good and will get pretty loud and still sound good. Power wise probably going with the RF T1500-1.

I'm going to go ahead and have my SAE 1200 run a DC lvl 4 12'' sub. I haven't decided on a front stage yet, I'm looking to run an active 3-way midbass//mid range//tweeters I think I'm going to go with the SAX 100.4d BUT I need another amp! Should I use the SAX 100.4 for the mid range and tweets? or the tweets and midbass? or the midbass and midrange ????? And what other amp should I use? SAX 50.4 bridged? or ... ? suggestions and explanations why please

I cant find a dealer in WI for these and I'm looking to possibly buy one for my Cadillac... Anyone have any ideas of how much and where I can get one?

ordered a saz1000d to go along with the 15q i just ordered. CAN'T WAIT.

Okay, I think I have it done, my electrical will consist of a 300 amp alternator (Iraggi), A Powermaster S1200) up front, (2) D1200's for the trunk, all wiring for batteries and amps will be 1/0 ga., Subs will be (4) of the SA-12's powered by (2) of the SAZ-1500D's. This is all going into the back of my 2001 Camry, with the box designed by banginAltima (as soon as he's done) so hopefully the Mad Scientist of SPL (Jacob Fuller) will be proud of me

I may just be overlooking something, but i can't seem to find enclosure recommendations or sub displacement. And it says that it has 2 inches of xmax, so 48mm? I may be wrong, but I think there is 2.4 cm in 1 in. which means 24 mm=2.4 cm.

Ok I am runnign the single SD1v2 sealed in my MINI and it sounds great! I also have 4 more and was thinking about running them ported off of a 1000d or a 1200d in my wifes car or my 4runner. Any suggestions for a ported enclosure for 4 of them? I have 2 4" areo's to use, how much airspace for the set? Thanks all! David

I understand the concept of bridging and individual channels and the impedences that the amp handle. What i dont understand is that load that would be created in a 6 channel tri mode on the 100.4. I am planning to get this amp and rainbow slc 265.25 ng's for my fronts and rear doors and they are 4-ohm comps. Np with that but i was peaking at the manual and noticed you could do a 6 channel tri mode and if i added mid bass or subwoofers, what wattage and impedence would be put onto the amp. This is a concern because i don't want to ruin any speakers that i add. I am really trying to create a good sounding system, i care more about bass created by speakers than having to…

Here's a couple vids of Team Outcast - Ms Cookie doing some Bass Boxing in the Crx with four Sundown Audio sa-12s. Those subs were beating hard. 1st round totally sealed 2nd round driver's door open For those that don't know Bass Boxing consists of three rounds playing music for 30 seconds each time. 1st round sealed, 2nd round driver's door open, 3rd round both front door's open. Then average the three scores.

Sundown did a hell of a job @ MidwestSPL finals this past weekend. Klade Turner and Daniel Arbuckle (ME) were both in the same class and took 1st and 2nd place in the Basic 4 class. Team Sundown FTW! I took second in a "pretty box" with two 15" Nightshades, Klade took 1st place. WTG Klade! Had never met Klade before this weekend and was glad to meet him, great competitor there. GJ! Thanks Jacob Great Products! Here is what I was using..

Hey guys, I have about 50 e-mails I am behind on -- I am working as fast as I can on them =) Most are about the BM 10s -- I am trying to get caught up on the ones already sold before responding, so don't worry, I got your message ! Been house shopping for the past week and have had some big projects like DJ's truck with the 32 speakers go on... so sorry again for the delays.

My new 15" Nightshades were delivered yesterday and I am quite happy with them already! Thanks a bunch Jacob! Sorry if I came off a little anxious... but I was anxious lol Gonna be working them in over the next few days to loosen them up a bit for the show this friday Happy like a little kid in the candy aisle. Happy to represent Sundown, I'll do my best! Time to Break them in! Still have tons to do before the enclosure is finished but here is what it looks like with NIGHTSHADES!! Rubber gaskets are just laying on top of the subs in this pic.. still have to get the tnuts in.

well yesterday i went to install my sax 50.4 and the amp turn on but when i hook up my speaker there was no sound. Well then today i went to turn my radio on to power up the amp and it was in protection mode but when i unhook my rca the protection mode goes away but the blue led doesnt light on when i unhook the rca

Ok Dj whats up i've seen them somewhere else why not here? i'm not telling tho.

yup, $375.00 bucks! so dam broke, I put it layaway! $50 bucks down. lmao......too dam cool. I am so ready to do this install , spring 2010!

How does it sound for box size. 6th order bandpass rear chamber of 6 cubic feet @ 36hz and front chamber of 22 cubic feet @ 63hz. Wanting to get things started for a build next year. This is a spl only build.

I just got my Saz 3000d in and it popped a fuse, but first it went into protected mode, i have 1/0 wire going to the battery and a big 3 done in 1/0 weird thing when it popped i was doing about 13v then protect, then pop. idk what happened no shorts seem to be prevalent i dont know

okay fellars, i got a SAZ 3000D and i am going to be getting a WMD2R 15", it is a dual 1ohm sub, it does 1500 rms. with ease from what i understand, i am thinking that i will run the amp at 2ohms. so it will be an easy relationship on both, i know i could wire to .5 ohm and the sub will take alot more wattage......but i figure this will be plenty. so my question is, with a 2 ohm load, what type of amprage should i have avaiable for my amp, like what size alt and battery combo,,,, i got the welding cable and plenty of it, so i got that part going on. thanks Chop.

Of these 2 4 channel amps which would you get?

Hello Enlosure Guru's, I would like to seek your opinion, I would like to build a box for nightshade 12" 6th order bandpass. Please see below information using 3/4 mdf with no bracing support. Number of driver = 1 FS = 41 hz QTS = .44 VAS = .413 cubic feet Rear Chamber Net Volume = .96 Cubic feet Tuning = 37 hz Rear chamber depth = 10 " Front Chamber Net Volume = 1.16 Cubic feet Tuning = 74.7 Hz Box Dimension H=14" W=36" Depth = 14" Thank you in advance.

looking at a SAZ and SAE1000d, and need to clarify the differences. -thinner case on the SAE -smaller heatsink on the SAE What were the other differences? Any reason not to get the SAE?

what are you guys running off your sundown full range amps. should i do rear fill or not. i have to make some kicks for the front going to be 5.25 not sure what yet. i have a sax-100.4

Okay.. I might be able to snag a pair of these 10w7 for a decent price. However, I am worried that because they are single 3 ohm coils, then I will not be able to run them efficiently on the Sundown amps. The 10w7 is rated at 750 watts rms each at 3 ohms. What are some amp and wiring configurations that would work for me? I'd like to give them their recommended power, but the JL website shows that the subs don't like to handle more than 750 watts continuous as it gets to the black line (warranty voided). Is this power rating from JL "over-rated" or "under-rated" for their subs? http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs.php?series_id=5 I currently have 2 gauge power and g…
