    So... who would do it ? Lets say if this amp was a full 1 dB louder than even the SAZ-3500D on 12v @ 1 ohm... and the 3500D was already 1 dB louder than the 3000D. Maybe it's already been in testing for a while So we are talking ~2dB gain from the SAZ-3000D on this bad boy. Pre-Order price would be around $1200 or so shipped. Lets see a show of hands.

    Listen 1st of all I posted on here a few days ago about not getting my invoice. I had to go out of town for a job and could not post. This is the 1st chance I've had. Just let me start by saying some of you are so out of line it's unbelievable. I'm a paying customer who spent alot on my 2 amps. All I wanted was my invoice that DB-r fucked up and didn't send. The reason I posted here is because where else do I go when DB-r never get's around to sending the damn invoice? Give me a break I have done nothing wrong at all except ask for the invoice and it's not my problem if Db-r can't seem to remember our e-mail communications in which they told me they would send the invoic…

    I know most amps have to battle heat to stay running as my last amp use to operate well into the 150 degree range on a normal basis but I just have one question. Wheres the heat at on this SAE-1200D???? Ive been bumping hard for 3-4 hours straight and not even a sweat. I can touch it at the end of the night and the heatsinks drain the heat out of my body. How is this thing suppose to be a normal amp????

    I use a ~$300 DMM to measure our coils here at the shop... why ? Well I'll show you... * Our Dual-1 coil on a cheap meter. * On our meter - factory spec is 0.84 ohms +/- 12%. This thing is dead on. * Our Dual-2 on a cheap meter. * On our meter - factory spec 1.85 +/- 12%. Again... 12% variance allows up to 2.07 and the meter only reads to the tenths place so it is dead on. So. Keep that in mind when reading your coils on a cheaper meter.

    I've made repeated efforts to get an invoice for one of the amps I bought from DB-r over the last 6 months. I've posted here and sent e-mails to db-r. Neither of you have lifted a finger to help me. I've come to the conclusion that Sundown support is all hype because when I needed some help I couldn't get any at all. The next time I spend a grand on audio equipment it will be someplace else.

    I am so impressed with my SAZ-1000D's output power that I am ordering another Friday or Monday. But here is where I am stuck. Should I run them strapped at 2 ohm, or one amp on one woofer at 1ohm each. I am just wondering the benefits of running strapped, or if their are none why shouldn't I? P.S. I got 1032.53 watts with rise to 1.8ohm and drop from 13.5v to 12.9v.

  17. It looks like I'll finally be getting these bad boys in the car soon. Box is built, kicks are built, just need to mount the 8's in the doors and dress everything up. Soon I'll be installing the actual components and setting everything up. I've never done a ported enclosure before so I'd like to get some advise on the subsonic filter from you guys. This install is with the 2 copper coil 15" nightshades which have a Fs of: Fs: 30.9 Hz settling to around 28 Hz after break in. I have the box tuned to approx 29.5 to 30hz. What should I set my subsonic filter at so I don't unload these things? They will be powered by one SAZ-3000D at 1ohm. Thanks again for all your help.…

    10" diameter slugs, triple stacked. The pole flare is a bit shallower and narrower than I wanted... but we'll see how it does with testing. I have the coils, spiders, cones, etc waiting for it here! Picture is from the factory, it's on the way to me soon Not showing the other side of the motor yet, sorry guys! And before anyone asks... no ETA on production, I still haven't tested this prototype yet!

    Hi, I just ordered a 50x4 and will be using this to drive my mids and tweets separately. It looks like to me the best way to do this is: - connect mids to 1/2, tweets to 3/4 - for channels 1/2, set it to HPF @3000 or similar - for channels 34, set it to LPF @3000 Then, for 1/2, set the subsonic filter the the crossover point with my sub. Is this a legit use of the subsonic filter? What is the x-over slope on the subsonic? My other amp is a 125.2 bridged driving a soundsplinter rli-8. Cheers!
