Sundown Audio

  1. Started by Derrick824,

    Four in my Explorer powered by a single saz-3500 @ 0.5ohm. They love it. These subs are truly little beasts. You need to hear them in person to understand just how good they sound and how loud they can get. And they're a good price too. Playing DJ Billy E Playing Gorilla Zoe - Juice Box screwed More vids coming later. Gotta get home to upload them off my actual video camera.

    Here is what i have noticed! when i turn on my car and the music starts to play the sub dones't kick in for a good 2-6seconds (i haven't done an official timing yet) as soon as i turn my car on though (turn the deck on i mean) the amps and fans all turn on, then the front stage first up right away and in a few seconds the sub will turn on. my question is why is this delay happening? did i do something wrong? i am currently using a relay for both my amps and fans so there shouldnt' be a problem. plus the amp is turning on right away so i dont' know what is up? maybe this is common i don't know so i thought i would ask! 1-15in NS 1- sae 1200d 4- fans 1- 100.4 2-batcap 20…

    Hey guys i need some more knowledge from the ever so wise ppl here on SSA! Here is my problem. current setup is: 1-15inch NS 1- sae1200d amp big 3 0/1 wire 1-100.4 and 2 batcap 2000's in the trunk! my problem is when the bass hits even at 1200rms my lights will dim it isn't a bad dimming but still a diming occurs and when the new saz 2000 arrives i am worried i will be running into a problem...The only remedy that i have heard to fix this is to get a cap? but if i get cap would i wire the cap before or after the batteries? and what kind a cap should i get? any ideas would help me out A LOT!!!! thanks for your help and advise Kenneth

    I am currently running a Kenwood eXcelon KAC-x40 for my comp set and I have had no issues with any whine or hum coming through my comps. However, yesterday after swapping out my SAE-1000 for the SAE-1200 I now have a whine in my comps when I plug the RCA's into it. With the volume at 0 the whine is still there. I think it is odd that I am getting a whine in my comps when plugging the RCA's into my sub amp. When I remove the RCA's from the SAE-1200 the whine goes away completely. Any insight into this would be more than appreciated. Thanks!!!! Head Unit: Kenwood DNX-5120 4-Channel RCA's: JL Audio XB-CLRAIC4-18 2-Channel/Sub RCA's: JL Audio XB-CLRAIC2-18 Power &a…

    Well I just received my SAX-125.2 not too long ago and WOW! This is a very nice amp with sweet sound clarity. I put it to my polkmomo 6x9's and it blows my overrated crunch ( I know, I know) out of the water. I just started getting back into car audio not too long ago and went cheap just to get started. Sundown for life now!!! Then you had to go and have this sale for July and u can bet I will take advantage. Before this month is over I will be ordering an SAX-100.4 and the 50.4 fo sho. Then the 4500d will ship (hopefully) in October...Christmas all year long for me!!! Hopefully during the build I can get some pics going but it be awhile. Thanks for the great service and…

    Alrighty down to business! Take note of my 2 pics below. The first pic shows a piece of mdf with 4 12volt fans in it to cool the amp which is under it. Notice the second pic where the amp is underneath the fans. I am doing this so i don't lost 100% of my trunk as i will be going back to school in september. I guess this is a makeshift amp rack! My question is should my fans be blowing onto the amp? Or sucking the hot air off of the amp? I assume blowing (cooling ) the amp but i thought i would double check! and also should i be using 4 or will 2 work just as well! the fans i am using are: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=259-150 amd yes i know my…

    Question #1: I will be purchasing a Sax-125.2 within the next week, the speakers that will be playing on them are (8) Eminence Alpha-6A, four on each channel. The frequency is 85-6,000 Hz, so how would i go about setting the crossoverson the amp (confusing to me)? Do I set it at Full Pass, then change the HPF to a setting and then the LPF to a setting? Question #2: I will be purchasing a Sax-100.4 within the next week, the speakers playing on them will be (4) Eminence Alpha-6C, four on two channels(2 on each one); (4) Kicker KS20 tweeters, four on two channels(2 on each one). The frequency on Mids are 81-5,500 Hz, and the frequency on the tweeters are 4,500-21,000 Hz. So…

    Im about to purchase 2 of these amps Just was curious if they have an unregulated power supply. Also was wondering as to the general difference, if any, between the SAE series and the SAZ series as may upgrade to a single SAZ-3000D in the next year or so. Any helpful reviews of this amp would be awesome as well:D.

    Had a few requests for videos. Made one playing "Trap or Die" by Jeezy. Seemed to be about the same on the meter door open or closed. Link to video : Four of the new SA-12s being used on two 3500Ds @ 1 ohm each (turned down of course as these are 600-watt rated subs).
