Sundown Audio

  1. Started by montoya,

    I just recently bought new speakers and hooked them up to my 100.2. The first week everything went fine until about a day ago I get a random noises coming out of my speakers. With the sound completely down on the HU and even a different mode with no audio source selected I get this high pitched whine or sometimes clicking coming from my speakers. Once I hear it I shut it off immediately. I checked the ground, remote, and power wire and they are all hooked up and connected fine. All the speaker wire seems to be intact at the back by the amp and upfront by the actual speakers, but I haven't checked underneath the carpet yet. If I turn the volume up on the HU the music…

    Great customer service. The Distibutor *edit(delivered) the amp of right at my door. Needless to say I am one happy customer. But and a Big BUT there is a black mark on my power terminal ??? I know it is possible during the connection of the amp while testing but is this something I should be worried about? I will install Friday and if it works then I suppose i would be happy yet again, but im just worried if it may cause problems down the line.? is this something to be concerned about?

    I thought I saw some where that there was a carbon fibre cone and dust cap on the SA-8v2. Was this a one off that I saw? Or was it on something else? Also are there dust cap options for no insignia? Sorry if this is posted some where else but I could not find it. I do believe there is a CF dust cap option but I would prefer to have the whole cone and dust cap of possible. Or at least a blank dust cap that matches the cone. Again thanks to anyones help.

    I just recieved (1) 1500d v.1 and (1) 1500d v.2 last night. Looking at each of them they look exactly the same and I can not tell which is which. How can I tell? and can the two be strapped together? If not I still have another v.1 so no worries.

    This is a simple little system but it sounds good. For those who haven't used a 100.2 yet, the power is incredible. This amp is way underrated and works great to drive subs. I am not into installing tv's all over the place but the owner of this truck had reason. His family takes road trips so the headrest monitors are for his two kids and the visor monitor was installed for his wife since the bypass for the Z1 was only good for 500 miles at the time. All factory speaker locations were retained and the headrests have covers so the truck looks stock from the outside with the exception of the Z1.

    Hey Jacob and the Sundown crew, I had a question that (due to my wording...) may have kept from yielding and useful topics in the searchbar. I have a Nightshade V1 12, and was wondering if it would be beneficial or even feasible to re-cone to a V2. Still on my learning curve about driver components and what does what, but is this a recommended idea? Would YOU do it? Didn't know if it would yield grand results, or if I should just go with a V1 re-cone. Thanks a million!

    Just curious what head unit some of you are using. I've been using a Kenwood kdc-x791 for the last year and I hate it. It sounds good but the screen is horrible in daytime and the interface is the worst I've ever seen. Anyone have a good suggestion in the $300-$400 range? I mostly play mp3 so that feature is a must.

    I am in need of a 8" sub that works well in a very small, sealed enclosure. I came across the E8v2 Sundown sub, and it looks promising. I wanted to get some insight/experience from people in the know. Space is at a premium in my vehicle. I have around .3 to .35 ft3 to work with. I would like for it to have good SQ with good output (I am aware that it's an 8", but I have heard some 8s with decent output in a sealed enclosure, so I know what to expect). I have not purchased an amp yet, but I plan to run 300-400 RMS to the sub. This will be going in an mid-sized suv. I plan to build a center console type enclosure that will fit in the second row. So, having said all this, do…

    1. I'm in the middle of buying an SAE 1000d from a member of another forum and I'm curious about how many amps is this going to draw, I was guessing around a 150 amp fuse (guessed draw to be around 125 amps) assumed .8 efficiency) to be safe, but I'm not sure, and I figured someone on here could give me a much more accurate number and maybe even a link to fuses that would perfectly fit my system. 2. Also I've looked at other topics concerning this amp and it seems that it has 2 positive and 2 negative ports for the speaker wire... but it's a monoblock amp? Once I get the amp i plan on hooking it up to my two Alpine Type R's and I'm wondering, do I hook them up …

    To start off, i have 3 sa 12's, they were on a saz 2k, and i had them in a 5.5 cube box 2 6" aeros, tuned to 35hz, Well that wasn't cutting it for me for the low's, So i had to go back to slot ports, i made a box to recommended size, 5.25 cubes for 3 sa 12's, tuned to 31 hz with 81.25 port area. It sounded great, i loved it, But thought the subs needed more power, so i got my saz 3500 back. Put it in, and the sound changed a lot. It is louder, but doesn't sound as clean now and not as aggressive on some songs it did with the saz 2k. It almost sounds like it lost its "clean, accurate" sound, if that makes any sense. What would cause that? the box being to big now becuase i…
