Sundown Audio

well i'm throwing my first show this month and would like some feedback from you guy's. 1-2 woofer's 3-4 woofer's armagedan (anything goes just dont break my sensor) first place winner's will win a 4 gauge install kit with rca's and anybody that enter's has a chance to win a custom box,2 10" subs,6.5" comp's or a small 2 channel amp. I thought this would be a little different then seeing all the same people win all the time.tell me what you think! oh and jacob I'm in need of a banner/sticker's for my show's or anything you might want to throw down thanx for the feedback peps

The truck finally broke the 158 mark yesterday at the Wild Bills show in AL. Pulled a 158.1 db at 48hz and in the freezing cold.

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…

im gonna be ordering new subs in the next 3 weeks and wanted to know what will be in stock, preferably 12 15 or 18s

Hey Jacob i shot you an email a couple of days ago i want to get a rocone for a sa-8 copper dual 2 ohm. I also want an 8 in basket. I will paypal you the payment as soon as you send me an invoice. Thank you so much Billy

ok so i'm about ready to buy my amps. i will have 4 15" fully loaded 1 ohm btl's in about 16 cubes tuned to 32hz. but before i buy the amps...can a 3000d handle a pair of fully loaded btl's @ 1ohm? only time it will get turned up loud will be for competition burps. maybe to turn up for demos for friends . other than that it'll be regular volume, so nothing strenuous. i have a 200 amp H/O alt atm, couple extra batteries (will upgrade to some kinetiks in the future), and i'm getting a solid 14.3/14.4 volts. i may try to add another alt if money allows. also...would bass race be out of the question with this setup? to prevent burning up the amps? i'm kinda going out on a l…

Ya ya, my wiring is kinda messy right now but it might not be permant. and yes i know i shouldnt brag about "novice" trophy but it was my first time, and i still hit a 144.3 off two type R's with no tuning jus playin with it. on my btl i hit a 147.30. The guy that got first hit a 147.33 with 4 Type R 15''s. FYI GORRILA DUCK TAPE FTW!!!! at the show still filling the aero leaks on the aero's SAZ 3K btl 18 fully loaded 4.5 cu ft tuned to ....???? didnt have time to correct the aeros.

I post two videos of our car, with two saz-3500D the machine was created just to play music But he also made two measurements in the race, 155db in spl regular, 153.9 db on average musical

We did the 15" a while back -- decided to video the 18" as well. These are going to start debuting in mid 2011 or so... likely a size or two at a time. 1500-watt RMS rated woofer -- you can see more information on the line here : Prototype Z v.3 Testing - Car Audio Classifieds

I have been running my 1500d for about a month now. It was working perfectly until about 3 days ago. I hadnt been in the truck or anything for 2 days, and then i go and get in it and as im driving the subs are making a popping noise. I have been trying to figure out what the problem is, and i dont think it is any of my wiring. I have figured out that the popping only happens when the amp is shook or tapped on or of course the truck bounces or something while im driving. The amp works fine except for when this happens, which is frequently. Im thinking it might possibly be something loose in the amp or something. Let me know if you have a possible solution.

On ebay i saw the saz2000 for $525 thets the price of the saz1500,has anybody bought sundown from ebay?

What would be the power output of this amp at a steady 14.4volts at 1 ohm? And what battery would u recommend from powermaster?

What's the highest voltage I can give a SAE-1000D and SAX-100.4? I'm giving them between 13.8 and 14.2 volts in park before voltage drop and the lowest I've seen it drop is 13.2 volts while playing at max. I'm considering a voltage regular for my EA 250A alternator. I may be adding another 1000D btw.

which way should i go. i have 16 mids for the MINI. all 8 ohm. 8 per door. they will be wired in pairs of 4, in parallel, making each set of 4 mids a 2 ohm load. so its either 2 100.2s, with 8 mids per amp (basically 1 amp per door) running each channel at 2 ohms or 1 100.4, running 4 mids per channel, at 2 ohms. the 100.2 is rated 200 x 2 @ 2 ohms the 100.4 is rated 160 x 2 @ 2 ohms i know the 100.2 is supposedly a little more underrated than the 100.4 is, but i found a good deal (IMO) on 2 100.2s, bnib for 370 shipped. what do you guys think?

I want to put a 3000 per pair..... But i'm not sure how they will handle the 1500 rms each. Any better ideas?

New build for Finals, Hope you enjoy! Will Post TL Results Next Sunday!

Finally after almost a year in the making, here is a clip of my setup in action. The port is in the middle so be aware there is noise in the video from all the air these 10's push out. The camera doesn't really pick up all the excursion very well either.

I just want to say thank you to Jacob at Sundown with all the help he has given me. I purchased an SAE-1200v1 from a person on another forum, and as soon as I hooked the amp up it went into protection. I checked my wiring, and even hooked up another amp, which worked fine, but the Sundown just kept going into protection. This was on a Sunday, and Monday morning I sent Jacob an email asking if there was a remedy to my problem. Of course, I had no documentation for the amp in question, so Jacob offered to send me either a new 1200v2 or a 1500, both for a very nominal upgrade fee. I jumped on the chance to get the 1500. (It is probably way more power than my single 10 …

is it safe to buy a refurbished amp? im planing on buying a bnew sae1200d but i saw that dbr is selling refurbished amps. and iam thinking on buying a refurbished saz1500d. whats the down side in buying refurbished amps? aside from its already used. any suggestions?? thanks

2x Sundown Nightshade 18s 2x Sundown SAZ-3500Ds Only four 16v batteries Steve is officially louder than my best score Looks like I need to do some work!

Greetings Folks, I'm in the process of upgrading my setup to 2 RE Audio SX15's and I'm on the verge of crossing over into Sundown's territory by powering them with a SAZ-3000D. The amp will see a 2ohm load. I have no intentions of competing but I want to shake things up whenever I get the urge (usually when cops aren't present). Would this be an ideal amp for these subs as a daily driver? The subs are going in a 8 cube CRX box tuned to 34hz. The vehicle is a 2001 Chevy Tahoe. Thanks to all for your views/replies!!

I was just wondering what store actually has some of these in stock.....Looking to upgrade from my Type-Rs and I believe this would be a good upgrade...What are you guys opinion???

Finally did some real testing on the KIA last night. I actually did a 149.2 sealed, but forgot to take a pic of it. This was done at 45 Hz and a little over 2600 watts clamped total for both amps. Amps are wired @ 1 ohm each rising to 3 ohms. All settings on deck were flat, and loud button off. Cone rise is killing my power and score. Need dual 2 ohm subs bad. Crazy thing is truck and box are same frequency. Also did a hard core run and the score was a 150.8. Here is a pic of the Term Lab Score.

Newest production run arrived a few weeks ago -- we changed the output FETs to the same parts the newest 3500Ds are using (more powerful) and made a few other small tweaks. 0.5 ohm performance is now just as good as the v.1 1500D while maintaining the slightly better 1 ohm performance that we had already achieved on the v.2 model. I don't have any 1500D v.1s around the shop right now so I'm using previously tested data : 1500D v.1 POWER : 1970 Watts AMP VOLTAGE (measured) : 49.25 V AMP CURRENT (calculated) : 40 A ACTUAL IMPEDANCE (calculated) : 1.23 ohms SUPPLY VOLTAGE : 12.85 V 1500D v.2 POWER : 2030 Watts AMP VOLTAGE (measured) : 47.4v V AMP CURRENT (calculated) : 42.…

what are the duty cycle rattings on the saz1500d ? and at what wattage are they 100% duty cycle ? thanks
