Sundown Audio

I recently installed my SAZ-3500 with two FI BTL and everything works real good, I then connected the bass knob when I turn the bass knob down to the minmum (no maximum) the amp goes into protect. Help please I really like to have control of the bass. What can I do? And, why does it do that....

well yesterday we took about a 2.5 hour trip to columbia to an E2 audio MECA event. It was an awesome show sundown made a good showing once again. Pics will be up soon. Derek - 1st place S2 148.0 2nd place street install Corey - 1st place S1 with a 143.?? dont remember 1st place DB1 with a 122.8 1st place Show and shine PHAT CAR award needless to say corey brought home many more 1st places than i but oh well good showing!

when i was running my btl 15 off this same elec. i never got voltage issues this low(12.8 and under)... i just installed 2 ns 12s at 2 ohms strapped and i am getting the issue, gain at a quarter and volume at half... i have a ohio gen 180/225 ho alt sittin here and will be dropping it in... i also did NOT do a big 3 yet, but the factory wire is 2 runs of 8, will be upgrading to all 0guage soon. with all this accomplished should my voltage maintain a good number. i was also told that since i am running the power between 2 subs now that it maybe drawing more... is that true?

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.

This is probly a frequent flying question, but I was wondering if somebody could lead me in the right direction. I'm getting a 15 Fi Q sub, and I cant decide on which sub would be best for me. I'm mainly looking for SQ since I know that it will be loud with either amp. I'm not looking to go into any comps or anything like that. thanks.

so ill give you some info first truck - 99 s10 ext cab (no 3rd dr) 2 15" sundown nightshades 1 saz-3500D blah blah blah anyways, the box i orig. built for them isnt cutting it, so now im thinking 3/4 wall (i still want to be able to see out my rear view mirror) so can anyone help me with a desgin? im looking to tune to 35 hz, subs forward port... not sure where to fire it 43" long, 15" or less deep, 26-28 inches tall, 26 would be more ideal. this is for daily! not spl, i want it to slam the low notes, but sound good on every thing else. let me know what you guys think. thanks!

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

as the title says, Im looking for 2 drivers that will perform well in 3.8-4 cubes tuned 35-38 hz off a saz 2000, nightshades are a little overkill I would say, how about those new drivers SA12's?

I am very excited, just threw it in. Only a little tuning and already sounds better and louder then the Kicker amp is replaced. :woot:

Hello All, Im finally going to install my amp I bought a few months back and have a few questions. Let me start by telling you were Im at. Im going to be installing an Sae-1000D amp powering an RE SE 10" rated @ 600watts @ 2 Ohms. I also have a 4 ch PPI amp bridged 160 watts running my front components. The car currently has 4 ga wiring. Would 4 ga still be enough to run the 1000 and PPI amps. Also what size fuse should I use for the power wire. Thanks in Advance, Mike

I'm probably gonna sound really dumb but heres the question would there be a huge difference on one SS rl-p 12" D2 using those amps. i mean theres a 200watt diff. between them two, would those 200wats have a huge impact on that sub? sorry for dumb questions dan

Grabbed a 10" right off of the QC test bench for some photos :

Whats the cut out DIAM for the Nightshade 12".....?

well well what do we have here! awwww shit... you guess it beefy lil shits heres one next to a goliath 12 now the hard part!!! should i put them in my wrecker as subs? or in the doors of one of my lincolns as midbass drivers.

Two amps strapped (saz1500d), does the slave need a remote turn on wire as well? Or does it power on from br in? Thanks

Ok, I am the final stages of planning my system. Car is a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Musical preference is Rock and Roll( AcDc, Pink Floyd, Rush and pretty much all heavy metal). Amps are going to be all Sundown. I have 4 E8's on order for the midbass powered by a SAX-1004.D, 2 in front doors, 2 in rear deck. Front Stage (in addition to E8 midbass) will be Mach 5 MLi-65's and Seas 27TFFNC/G Tweeters active powered by a SAX-100.4D. My question comes down to the substage. I had originally planned 2 FI Q15's sealed on a SAZ-3000D. Only reason for that is I've always had sealed enclosures, I've never tried a ported. I'm open to opinions here, so here are the 2 options I'm t…

The setup: single DD 3518, slot ported, tuned to 32hz single Sundown SAZ-1500 Kinetik HC800 battery Did a 144.8 legal, sealed on the dash Did a 146.8 in the kick, outlaw Not too bad for 1500 watts, single sub setup, with no real power upgrades.

So i finally received my new saz-1500d and i had a question regarding the power wire. is 0ga wire necessary to run this amp? i have a run of 4ga right now and i am trying to avoid the trouble of rewiring if i can. thanks, matt

I know sundown recommends a fuse 8 inches before their amp.. I was told once before 150A is just fine... Im running the knukonceptz 1/0 KLMX cable (250a).. I started talkin about this to some other people off the internet and they keep tryin to tell me its way too much lol.. i think their full of it cause they also tell me 1/0 is overkill for any system lol. just want some clarification on this, thank you. Amp will be mounted maybe 1.5 ft from back battery and wired directly to it with a fuse.

just bought a 98 Lincoln towncar and getting a temp system with a small footprint to keep trunk space. the car has a huge trunk but I only want to utilize the back deck portion of the trunk which measures 44w by 13h by 16 deep(could go deeper)... gives me about 4.24 cubes. any ideas or feedback is appreciated

Want to know how 2 12" Nightshade would do in 2.742 cubes and on a Sound Stream xxx-6500d at 1 ohms?? I was worried about the box being to big I am only about a 1/4 to 1/2 up on gain right now on two Mass Destruction Napalm's and they sound good but are really made for a smaller box.. Also how much are the 12" version did not see it on the site or missed it.

I just moved to west sac and went to a dbdrag show and I didnt see one person running sundown.seen a ton of DC stuff wow do they like dc here. I'm looking to start an s10 build SSNW in an s10 reg cab and was thinking about running some more sundown.what do you think? going to start small couple of 18's and a single amp for now. but i have to find the right truck first.

I will upload the video soon... will take a while as it's 9+ minutes long but the results really speak for themselves. We compared against a very well respected 2.5" coil driver rated for 600-watts RMS -- many people do run much more than that to this particular driver. The comparison was done simply to give a reference point. I was wondering if it was just me or if I wasn't even tickling this driver thermally with 800+ watts on tap in my car (SAX-200.4 two channels bridged at 2 ohms)... so the question is now answered -- I really wasn't even close to the thermal limits as this 60 Hz test is brutal with very little excursion. On music where the sub is moving 4-5x more the…
