Sundown Audio

So I just got my SAE-1200D in the mail and installed it. Im pretty sure I installed everything correctly. This is far from my first time wiring an amp. The issue I had was that I couldn't get any sound from the subs so I started trouble shooting. I had good power, ground and remote cause the little green light was coming on, I checked my wiring for the subs and everything checked out there so I figured the problem must be in the RCAs. I check the HU to make sure the subs were turned on and they were. I broke out a new set of RCAs and ran them unimpeded to the amp and still got nothing. Then i decided to move the connection from the INPUT to the OUTPUT and voila, I got m…

SA-12 cone, spider, dust cap, coil + 4-spoke frame w/ 6.25 mm spacers Atomic Apocalypse 2.5" Coil Motor Going to measure T/S specs tomorrow

Using Z15 cone / dust cap... 8-layer FW Dual-2 Coil @ 50mm WW... two hard nomex spiders w/ double leads. I am going to measure specs once the dust cap glue dries. Not for sale - just posting pics Made it for a customer.

Decided to get a professional box made by my friend who is a master installer... since i am no fabricator. What is the recommend port dimensions for these subs? I emailed jacob but I figured I'd post here. Would like to get started on it today. Should I do 2 seperate chambers? 2 ports , 1 with each sub.

Ok, so I'm going complete Sundown in my setup. And I am excited to receive the order. However, being more business savy then with certain car audio things.... I need some community help! I had no problem actually constructing a sealed box, however these 12's need to go ported, and after trying to use a few different port calculators I am lost. We all have our areas . Can someone please design a box for me? I will post the dimensions it needs to be shortly! Thank you very much Kevin

I know it is said a 100 times a day... "with impedance rise you are going to be over 1 ohm anyway" when talking about a half ohm load or lower on a daily system. Sure... if you constantly played individual sine waves one at a time. But, is that what music is? --- http://www.audiograph.se/subpages/technical/whatmakesagoodamplifier.htm "The upper graph illustrates the conventional way of measuring the loudspeaker impedance. The lower graph illustrates the dynamical approach. We took a commercial ’off-the shelf’ loudspeaker and did a standard impedance plot for it. We swept the frequency from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, measured the input voltage and current, and calculated the impeda…

im thinking of 1 ns12 in a extended cab truck or should i stick with my 2 db plw12d4's. the truck in qusetion is a mazda b2200.subs running off my saz-2000d.

so i was thinking of 2 saz-3000d as well as the 100.4... this is for daily ... if i have it strapped for 1 ohm (each amp at .5 ohm) and i tune it with an oscilloscope is this still a bad idea? ... wouldnt the nominal resisitance rise up to over 1 ohm anyway so it would be safe? ... what do you recommend as far as total aH (jake i forgot what you said lol) and how many strands of 1/0 will suffice to the rear (approx 15 ft from front to back battery bank)?

just wondering what head units some of the spl guys here with sundown amps are using? over the weekend i was talking to some guys in the lanes they where talking about hu with 3 plus volt outs. that the amps did not like this voltage. the other thing that came up where the rca cable talking about the amps like the cheap rcas compared the good stuff. anyone have any insight on this?

Just re-built the avalanche again here are the pics. Donor Midgate The gear 2 dual2 Nightshades and 2 SAZ1500s (one is not mine but friend needed money to fix his car so he kinda pawned it to me for the time being) New wires and relay and connectors New Alt Ohio Generator... need to put this in sometime this week All tore out and opened up Box 7.1 cuft after displacement tuned to 33hz with around 110sq in of port Cut out Midgate Filled and fitted Marking openings Wanted to see it Working on the midgate Planing the amp rack Finished amp Rack Finished install well kinda Sounds good and gets loud dont have any new numbers yet.... I hate the way the vinyl turn…

I've been havin to measure a few amp's outputs recently to measure wattage output and actual resistance at a given note for competition. All the amp's i've ever tested, i always have the user keep it at the same volume level for several seconds so i can get an average voltage and amperage reading sinec these numbers always fluctuate due to resistance changing and voltage dropping... Well, i had the opportunity to measure a sundown SAZ-3000D over the weekend.. and i've NEVER seen an amp remain constant throughout the whole test! This guy's setup was given rise to 4.06 ohms and metering 1273w! That's pretty damn good considering it's only rated for 800w @4ohm. Anyways, i w…

wierd ? i have a saz 1500d and was wondering, if i smell a woofer going up in smoke should i be shutting it down to prevent dmg to my amps ? or am i ok to just let it go up in smoke and push it harder untill it goes all the way . i know about the protection built into the amps but that doesn't allways mean that i'd be ok. if it is considered ok to smoke subs without dammaging the amp, could you safely burn sub after sub after sub and still be ok. would love to here jakes take on this too. i would never even consider this with any other amp, but these sundown amps are soooo darn tough that it dawned on me it might be posible. how about you guys at comps, when you blow sub…

Jacob recommend I throw 2 12 SA D4's in my 3 series BMW, and I am going to place the order, but what should i use to power them? Should i just get 1 amp (1500) or get two 1000's. The amp is going to be a sundown model so that's what we are working with.

hi i cant decide whether to take a 3500 or a 4500 for one 18 btl. ill use the setup for daily drivin but i also want to be loud as hell. which battery upgrade do you recommend? is one d3100 enough?

This is the first time I've used a remote gain, so sorry if I'm just being stupid. Anyway, I just got it installed and have my gain on the amp set about half way. Now every time I start to turn the remote gain, I get a pop from my subs. Why is this happening? Is it my ground? If so, I'm not sure how I could make it any better. The ground is secured to the chasis and I sandpaper'd the area where the ground makes contact. I'm also using brass screws/bolts to secure it. I'm just a little confused here.

Hey everyone.....got the toyota's system install all done....I will post pics and video in a few hours....but the 18's blew the box apart...... haha it sounds like a machine gun in the back bdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd took about 45 minutes to destroy the box......so next week ill have a nother box on the way...... the shop is going to build another box for me no charge this time its going to be a little more secure....the shop was pissed that them Sundown 3500's teamed with the Btl's were so damn devastating

What would the best wiring kit for the SAE 1200D be? 4 guage? 0 guage? Also is the knukonceptz wiring any good? there prices are pretty cheap

Hi all, I've read here and there not to use the bass boost( because of clipping signal?). But, if it is so bad, why do we have it on the Sundown amps like my saz 1000 D ? How and when to use it? Mine is still set to the minimum, and my 15" Icon seems to love it:)!

These will be on their way to me soon for testing... no ETA just yet, though SA-10 : FS : 31.6 Hz Qts : 0.45 Qes : 0.49 Qms : 5.64 VAS : 21.9 L Mms : 187.4 g ---------- SA-15 : FS : 30.9 Hz Qts : 0.60 Qes : 0.66 Qms : 6.12 VAS : 92.7 L Mms : 308.4 g ---------- I can't wait to get to testing If you are wondering why the Fs isn't like 20 Hz on the 15 inch... that is because we stiffened it up a bit to keep box size down.

Hey guys! Well I finally got the amp from Mark today. Just thought I would take a bunch of pics and share them to everybody! The amp looks so sweet! I love it already even though it's not hooked up yet Some of the pictures came out a little blurry because I didn't use flash for most of them but its ok. Can't wait to get this baby hooked up!

So we are bringing it back again. This is how it works. 1) You e-mail me with what you have ([email protected]) -- it MUST BE a working amplifier (no speakers, no blown amps, nothing else). 2) I tell you if I will accept this item and how much credit I will give for it. I base this on forum and e-bay resale values AND my own records of used item sales. If you are going to get offended by an offer then please don't contact me - I have *extensive* used item re-sale experience from the previous trade-in program so I am very familiar with what I can ACTUALLY get for used items. 3) You either accept or deny my offer... if you accept the offer you then ship the item in …

In response to the current economic situation we are lowering our MAP pricing. Cost for our amps from an authorized dealer outside of a pre-order or special sale have changed as follows : SAZ-1000D : $355 OLD / $315 NEW SAZ-1500D : $570 OLD / $500 NEW SAZ-2000D : $670 OLD / $615 NEW SAX-125.2 : $255 OLD / $240 NEW SAX-100.4 : $395 OLD / $365 NEW The prices listed under "NEW" are now available at any authorized Sundown dealer. I sent out a dealer news-letter this morning, so if your dealer has any questions have them call me.

I am discontinuing the SAX-50.4 and the Sundown Z15 Woofer. Paypal me at [email protected] to order. The SAX-50.4 close-out is also available at any authorized dealer -- the Z15 close-out is only available from me directly. ---------- SAX-50.4 -- $200 shipped in continental 48 states I will still include a 2-year warranty on these. Most customers shopping for an amp at this power level are more concerned about $ to watt and less about crossover flexibility. So we are closing out the 50.4 and will be developing a less expensive model to replace it without as much crossover flexibility to offer more watts per dollar. ---------- Sundown Z15 D2 or D4 -- $250 shipped…
