Sundown Audio

The Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 is a great amp to run both your front stage and sub stage. The amp has plenty of power for just about any component set and when bridged it is capable of beating the hell out of a pair of subs. In this setup the 100.4 is running a pair of Boston pro components and G110 subs like it is its job. I normally do not wire bass knobs but since we retained the factory head unit it wasn't such a bad idea.

I have an SAX50.4 bridged to a dual 4ohm sub. Tuesday at the end of my 3 hour commute the amp shut off. I thought I fried the speaker but 10 min after the amp shut off, it worked again. I had already stopped when I turned the stereo on again and the amp was hot to the touch. This is the same thing that happened with another small amp that I had but it was 2 channel bridged. Except it shut off after about 30-45 min. I have an SAX125.2 running two 6x9s right next to the 50.4 and it hasnt ever shut off since Ive had it. Doesnt get hot either. They are both screwed to a seperate piece of 3/4 mdf behind the back seat agaisnt the side of the box. Ive also had 2 other amps in t…

So today i noticed something interesting regarding my SAX100.4. I am currently running no subs (waiting for my saz2500(2) to come in) so my setup is the big 3, h/o, 2-nsb90, 2-zapco RB13.2 comps and the 100.4 so let me see if i can explain this issue correctly... here is my door panels for starters so i currently have all 4 channels in use and the crossover point is 80hz channel 1/2 - is 1 set of gains and filters (hpf) channel 3/4 - is another set of gains and filters (hpf) i am at the 1x range and hpf on channel 1/2 i have the gain set to 1/4 of the way up (just positioning i am not a noob it is for reference sakes) to match the output of 1/2 i have to set 3/4 gain…

Running off one SAZ-1500 in 6 ft^3. Two sets of Peerless 6.5s and selenium horns handle the mids and highs. Sounds great and still have some storage room.

hi guy i'm looking for a little help here i have a 94 eclipse running one nightshade 15 d1 and a saz 1500d i am trying to get this thing louder as i know it can with my current set up it does a 143.8 at the head rest and a 121 drive by the box that i have now is sub up port up at 4 cuft tuned at 40hz here is the demention for the box 24h 31w 15d it pretty much the max i can get in the hatch area as it hits the back glass if any one would be willing to help with an design it would be great as i can build them just not so good with the design and tuning part

I did a quick test today on one SAZ1500D.. i used a clamp on meter to measure current in the speaker wires and a digital multimeter to measure voltage.. i'm not sure if i measured this correctly, but i recorded the peak values seen and not the average.. I played a 48Hz test tone during testing and used a pair of dual 4ohm Audiopipe TXX series subs.. Re per coil - 3.6ohms 1st try.. (volume up high, but not maximum..) Voltage - 57.5V Current - 23.7A Power - 1363W Impedance rise 0.9DCR - 2.43ohms Voltage at the amp dropped from 14.4V - 12.1V I tried it again at a lower volume and got this.. Voltage - 38.0V Current - 15.7A Power - 596.6W Impedance rise 0.9DCR - 2.42ohms (I c…

Any idea on what kind of power I could expect out of the 2500 at 18 volts wired down too .25?

Just wondering what the output would be on the SAX100.4 in 3 channel configuration on a 2 ohm load. Looking at powering a set of 2 ohm 6.5" comps and a DVC 4 ohm 12" sub. Thanks

Today my buddy offered to buy my eD Nine.1 and I am really thinking about selling it to him so I can order an sae-1000D. I have a 15" Q no options with a 4 cubic ft box tuned to 30 HZ. I am thinking about it because I was reading a topic a few days ago and they said that they swaped a 9.1 for a sae-1000D and there was a noticible increase in sound quality. I would have bought the sundown had I know about them at the time. I was just curious if you guys thought I might really notice a difference between the two. I may end up doing it just because I would feel more comfortable with the quality of the amp. And I am not really happy with the 9.1's sound quality...it…

I have a sax 100.4 running my front stage components but the question is im running my fi q off of the rear channels just to get me by for the months is this ok? i have the sub bridged and im wondering about how much power is going from the amp to the sub? the sub sounds good but i think the woofer is moving weird maybe unloading of something what could cause this?

Hi all, New to this forum, veteran of Car Audio. I just purchased a new SAX50.4 to run my front stage active (6.5" Silver Flutes and Vifa Vifa NE19VTC ). I know next to nothing about the Sundown amplifiers, but like what I have read. I would like to have as much insight on this amplifier as possible. I mainly bought it for the flexible crossover section, and the good things I've read about it's quality and customer support. I have a RF Punch 200.2 I plant to run mono on a single eD 11kv2. I'm concerned about the two amplifiers being a good match. What kind of real power can I expect from the 50.4? I'm not looking for extreme volumes, but of course want good sound …

Hello, How many watts will my Sundown SAZ 1500D give me @ 1.34 ohms? I have a Duralast Gold battery up front, Batbap 800 in the back. 0 guage wiring in the entire car. I have 3 T3 TS series 10 in a sealed box single 4 ohm wired for 1.34 ohms. Thanks

i got everything hooked up yesterday. 2 strapped 1500s on 2 bl loaded 18's. Camera is charging, will post pics later and maybe a couple videos. I liked how the 1 1500d made my bl 12 sound, but it sounds awesome with 2 strapped. May change to 2 3000d's later,

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

What kind of power would I be looking at with 2 1500D's strapped at 3ohms? I've got an HD315 DVC .75ohm each. I can either run the amps at .75 or 1.5 each. This is a daily driver, no burps, played reasonably loud 90% of the time. Friday's after work it gets played stupidly loud, so I can unwind on the 20 minute ride home. That's the longest amount of time I play it that loud, usually around 20 minutes. I don't really understand impedence rise, but I know it will effect what the amp really sees. That's why I wonder if .75ohm per amp would be ok for my situation. Or would 1.5 each be safer? If so would it be that much of an increase in power over my current single amp at .…

i was about to purchase 2 saz 3000d's when i realize the shipping weight was 2 pounds....does anyone know why this amp is only 1 pound....is that correct?

so 95a alt 650a bat, using 1500d sundown amp with 18" Fi Bl. Do i need to do big3 or can I survive without it?

I'm redesigning the system in my truck. I'm going to be running 12 Re Audio RE 8's. Dual 4 coils, so I can get a .5 ohm load (i think). They are 175 rms, so if I use a 1500D I should be able to give them 125 each. I've been hearing a lot of good things about sundown. I'm just curious if the 1500 will be a good choice. I'm aware that they aren't warrantying .5 loads now. But I have a 200amp alt. 3 Mercedes 1200amp batteries and a dual 1/0gauge wire run. I used to run two Orion 2500'd and the voltage would only drop down to 12.4 ish. I guess I'm being cheap, but I'd like to find a place where I can get one for less than 599$. I don't see anyplace that sells them within a…

Hey everyone, newbie member here. I was told to look into Sundown subwoofers by people that actually know what they're talking about in car audio - they said these things are good stuff. Value priced and high quality, and from what I hear the manufacturer is a real solid guy. My question is, how loud and clear are these things? I need some low end for the Polk Momo system I have in my Buick LeSabre, and after shopping around speaker brands I decided this was the way to go. But I don't want anything obnoxious, and I don't want anything that is going to require a huge box and big, conspicious amp. My big thing is keeping a clean, stock(ish) look with this system. That …
