Sundown Audio

Is it possible to do 100x2 @ 4ohms and then 160x2@2 on the other 2 channels?

I was told with a nightshade you have the option to add extra spiders. Is that true? If so what does extra spiders do?

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…

Just a general question about wiring the amp. For the terminals for the ground and positive how did you guys affix the wire into the terminal. Did you guys solder the tip of the wire and then screw it down or did you just insert the bare wire and then screw it down? Thanks guys.

Just bought an saz-1500d off ebay, and I am anxiously awaiting it, as I have heard many good things. I'll be replacing a Audiobahn a3201t that I've had for 3 yrs, pushing 4 mtx thunder 5500 10's. One question though.. will it have full manuf warranty since it's been refurbed by factory, or not? Thanks

So I picked up a 12" nightshade a few weeks ago and today I just happened to be switching the box I had it in so I figured I would put my dmm on the coils just to see what it read. The first one came out right at 1.0, but then the second one reads 1.5. Is that normal? I let it sit for a while too, they would both go up and down by .1, but would eventually rest on the resulting numbers. Is that an issue, or is it fine?

I need to know what amp is better for my 18'' fi.btl between these two !!!NEW!!!

Hey guys i am looking for a tuning frequency for 2-15inch NS to use for SPL. My box will have interchangeable ports one for daily and one for an SPL show. my daily will be 34hz and for spl... i don't know what to use 40? 30? any recommendations on this would be awesome! i am using 2-6inch aero ports btw! in a 6cubic box powered by 2-saz2000 strapped and yes this is my new build starting around April if not much sooner!!!! thanks for your time and recommendations!

New Warranty policy stipulations effective as of 10-2-2008 within the USA: 1) If your amplifier has a blown power supply or damage from excessive vibration there will be a charge for a warranty replacement within the 2-year policy: * SAZ-1500D and smaller amplifiers (or any future model under 2000 watts) - $30 in the continental USA (AK and HI add $15) * SAZ-2000D and SAZ-3000D (or any future model 2000 - 3000 watts) - $50 in the continental USA (AK and HI add $20) 2) If there is no obvious sign of either of the above the warranty replacement within the 2-year policy will remain a free replacement. 3) For either free replacement or flat-rate charge replacement the amplifi…

Ported Enclosure would be around 1.2cubes, sa8 is rated at 400watts and I see everyone seems to feed them a lot more for even daily... So will the sa8 still move enough to get some decent output with only 300watts? This setup isn't for competing obviously, just for my old man

How much distance between the bottom of magnet /pole vent on sa10 and the back of the enclosure is needed or recommended?

Well, I noticed the 1st victim thread, so I figured I'd post up the 2nd victim of the strapped Sundowns here. Sub is a Mmats Juggernaut motor that was reconed by RE. It had about 10 burps on it, and 30 seconds on music, although it wasn't happy before the 30 seconds on music run. It was already rattling, but I figured I might as well take it out in style:

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

I finally got to put power to my pair of sa10 subs. I have 2 wired to 1 ohm in 2.5 cu ft net tuned to 32 hz with 40 sq in of port. They are running off my saz-1500d. And are taking it no problem. I only have about an hour of play time on them. So we'll how much they loosen up. So far I'm impressed. I'm coming from an re sx 15 in 4.2 cu ft net tuned to 32 hz running @2 ohms off the same saz-1500d. They are a little louder than the sx15, but night and day cleaner. They hit so much tighter than the sx. Rock and metal are enjoyable again. My current electrical is seriously lacking and I've got some bad voltage drop. So I know there is more in them. Over all I'm very happy wi…

ok, so i have a nightshade 18 now, but i am thinking of switching to 4 SA-8s. i would have slightly less cone area (201 vs 254) but wouldn't i also have a higher amount of motor force and air displacement because of the added xmax of 4 woofers vs 1 woofer? what do you guys think? on the 1500 watts im running now, what would be the better route? im really just going for daily listening, i don't compete. there is also the wow factor of popping the hatch and saying "yea...those are 8s" but any input is appreciated. also, please don't flame for this being another vs thread, im really just trying to find the relationship between motor force and cone area.

Hello, I read everywhere people talking about birthsheets they had with their amplifier. I have had several brand new amps in my car audio life(!), but I've never received any birthsheets with them. And it was the case with my recently bought saz1000D. It's really not a problem, but I would like to understand! do you always receive your amps with those birthsheets?

Went to local stereo shop, they bought a new termlab meter. I played 36-42hz tones and peaked at 36 hz with a 147.3, did 147.1 playing lil jon (throw it up). Need to do alot of deadening on roof. Running 2 saz-1500ds strapped on 2 bl 18s. The sundown amps are the best amps I have owned, may get 2 more. Voltage dropped down to the 12s. SUNDOWN AUDIO. Also met Justin Adams who is Sundown rep for alabama, very cool guy.

went to a DB drag event this weekend .. won the 150-159.9 bass race class.. qualified with a 156.1 witch was kool.. won the finals with barelly a 155.. i hit the pause button twice on the start !! what a dummy.. but i still was able to catch up and win.. anyways the sundown amps kicked ass.. well hope everyone had a good weekend !!! lil-john-

i sent this message to my friend on myspace and i aint feel like retyping so here it is. well the stoplight near new publix, had no power today. and i aint kno so im driving along in the right lane and some truck turns out of easthampton into my lane so i slow down to about 45. then in the turning lane going into easthampton its full so i cant see who is coming out of east hampton. as soon as i crossed the intersection line bam i got hit and spun around and hit another car that wasnt so badly damaged. now if u saw the pic i have of the damage youd wonder how the hell its so bad if the lady made a complete stop, which they say. she has to be going about 30 to make that m…

Have you considered doing a test on every amp and print out a birth sheet for each one?

Hey guys -- I am behind on emails... not ignoring anyway... will take me several more business days to catch up.

I have had my my 3000d since Feb. back when I was pushing a pair(2) of 12'' L7s. I never got hot. Just recently I have changed my subs to a pair(2) of 15'' DD 9500. Now my amp get hot. It went thermal once. I have the gain set at alittle over a half. Bass Boost to zero, Phase to zero, and subsonic all the way down. What would cause my amp to heat up? Do my subs need more power? Am I not giving my amp enough power? I still have a stock alt at the moment(I ordered a bigger alt with 200 amps). Two retop optimas. One has the main starting and the other in the trunk. I already did the big three. Any suggestions would really help. Thanks.
