Sundown Audio

Any updates yet? Can't decide to wait for a 10 or just get a 12. If the price diff is minimal, I'll probably end up getting a 12.

Can't seem to find the info anywhere. What diameter coil do you use on the SA-10?

how would this box work with 2 SA 12s in my tacoma on a blow through... i listen to rap and rock tuned to 31. 2 cubes per sub net... roughly... gonna be running a hifonics 2000d to them.

Setting up this sa 12 in my brothers car its in a 2.25 ported box tuned to 34hz. It's in a eclipse . if we get the crossover past 60hz the sub sounds horrible. Should the sa be able to play naturally past that say up to 80 or 90hz?

Does anyone have the official outside and mounting diameter on the sa-12's? thanks

I convinced my son's friend into ordering a SA 12 However he wants to put it into his existing sealed box that is ~1.65 ft^3. I know the recommended sealed size is 1 ft^3. What effect will this have? Any less power handling, less sound quality (yes he was looking for sound quality:-), etc. Thanks for your help.

Ok, should have my tax check here next friday...woot woot. I will be ordering 2 12" SA's and was wondering if this box and amp will work. Was getting a design done for 3.5cuft @ 30hz and will be running a Rockford Fosgate T1000.1 (the new mini black one) The amp says 1250 @ 1ohm I might upgrade the amp later...but this is what I have now. I know I will be using 2 4" aero ports (not sure on lenth..the designer is still designing, lol) Just curious as to what to expect. I had 2 JL w3 12s on this amp at 2ohms (800 watts) with a 3.5cuft @ 32hz box. They were in my former Explorer. I now have a 08 Civic SI coupe....just trying to get some comparisons. Or just an idea of wh…

Has anyone tried the Sa-12 's in a 4 order bandpass ? What kind of number? I'm thinking of trying 3 in a 4 order. Can anyone design this type of setup?

I was wondering if the are in stock. I need some for my new build but someone say they where out of stock.

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.

got 3 of my 6 sa-12s and a single 1500 for a temp amp. made a box for the rango to demo to a shop, 4.4@30 hz still need to do some finish work will get picks up soon, low to mid 140s kills on all music hehe

I figured Jacob could drop a bit of info here on the upcoming SA18 that is due to be released sometime in Oct. per fb. I'm personally interested in these as one of my choices for a upcoming build.

does anyone have these? how do they sound? how long do I have before they get discontinued

I'm running 6 Sa 8 v2s on 2 1500s in a 6th order in my Tahoe. They sound ok on the low end(28-38hz), but they sound like they have so much more to give. I'm debating switching up enclosures, but I wanted to get the opinions of people who have run them. Is it worth it to give the subs more time to break in before I switch boxes? I'm also considering adding another 1500. I've only had the subs for a couple of weeks. I only have a chance to get on them driving to work and around town.

Does anyone here have these components? if so how do you like them and how much power can they handle

The SA line is mostly sold out right now... we only have SA-10 D4 in our warehouse at this time. We have more SA-8s both ways and SA-10 D2 due in 3-4 weeks. We have all other SA sizes and configurations in large quantity due in November. ----- Our distributor in Iowa, Top Dog Audio, has some SA woofers in stock. WoofersEtc.com also has stock on most configurations of the SA line right now as well.

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

We did an updated one today with an SA-15 never dropping power under 700 watts and even increasing to close to 1000 watts near the end : "My clamp meters weren't set quite right up until about 1:45 and we come online reading power at 838 watts (remember we have been seeing power for a while already this is just where I get a good reading)... at 2:45 dropped to 754, at 3:45 dropped to 725, at 4:45 dropped to 722, and at 5:45 dropped to 709 -- so here we are at about 40% over rated power on a sine wave with only 15% power drop over 4 solid minutes. We decide that the driver hasn't been strained yet so crank it up to 790 again at 6:01 then again to 851 at 6:20 then again a…

Testing to see how well it keeps the coil temperature down by seeing how much power compression we get. Quoted from video : "Testing our new "woofer power test" rig... we have an adjustable voltage knob on the wall socket to get the power level we want. For the first 2 minutes or so we are trying to read on the "power" setting on the clamp but it didn't want to cooperate so I changed over to simply amperage and voltage afterward. At 2:20 we have 11.64A/61.6V for 717 watts... after a full 4 minutes and 45 seconds at 7:05we still have 11.19A so the sub is still seeing 689 watts. So we are seeing VERY little power compression even above rated power on a pure 60 Hz sine wave …

You guys know I am always working to improve things! As good as the SA series is I sat down and though, "How can I make them better ?" A few things came to mind on the 10/12/15 design : 1) I tested a different rear pole flare shape that is a little more efficient so I will be implementing that. As if the SA needed more thermal capacity, right ? 2) I am going to add a magnet ID shorting ring -- almost nothing in this price range has a shorting ring (the Type-R is one of the few I can think of). This will reduce inductive distortion and produce a bit less reactive impedance rise. So these are some things I'll be working on introducing to the SA series around summer time. …

SA-12 with D2 coils just sold out about 5 minutes ago. We still have SA-10 D2/D4, SA-12 D4, and SA-15 D2/D4 in stock. A container of all SA series 10,12,15 is due around June 20th. The SA-8s are not due until mid July.

* 8, 10, 12, 15 left to right * 8 and 10 * 10 and 12 * 12 and 15 * Close-up of SA-10 cone / surround --- 15s are not yet available... likely will be around end of the year.

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.

ok so when jacob opens up the pre-sale on these i will be ordering 6, they will be ran off of a saz-3500D at .7ohm. now i used a box calc. off of the *** forum, and got my box all figured out, its just the port thats confusing me, can someone help me out with this as to i cant figure out my actually port cut outs, the box will be in a 99 s10 ext cab, subs forward, port up (drivers side) here are the specs of the box. 6 10" Sundown sa's box height - 29 depth - 14 Length - 43 Port height - 12.5 width - 7.5 length - 24.5 net air space 6.24ft3. port area 93.75 in2. @32.33 thanks!!

I got my SA-10's last week. And probably won't have them installed for another month. So if you've got your SA-10's up and running. Let's see some pics and or vids of your setup. I'll be running 2 SA-10's in 2.5 cu ft@32hz wired to 1 ohm off my SAZ-1500d.
