Sundown Audio

in truck 1st run 2nd run found out after 2nd run that 1 of my Rcas was dead

Hi all, I have a JBL GTO 1201.1 ii amplifier, I used to own two RE Audio SEX 12" subwoofers but the cheap tinsel leads snapped; I had heard nothing but great things about sundown so I opted for the X-15! I wanted to know if anyone has used the JBL GTO 1201.1 before, and if you think it would sufficiently power the X15. I know the X15 asks for 1200w rms, the JBL only pushes ~1100w rms if I recall correctly. Is this a problem? Another question, I had the two RE's in an L-Port 4.0cu @ 32hz- given the power of my amplifier do you think the single X15 in the correct enclosure will be just as loud? Thanks in advance!

what cubes should i be at and the hert tone? i was thinking about 1.3 tune to 32 hertz off of a 1000 watt amp any help would do thanks, looking to build a box later today

Okay, so I finally was able to buy some Sundown product!!! Well I bought an SD2-10 and a Sundown SAX100.4. I read on the forums that the recommended box size was .5 cu ft sealed. Upon installing I had my Dad build the box and he told me that with sealed bigger is better. I believe the dimensions of the box are as follows... Top Width - 18" Bottom Width - 23" Depth - 9.5" Height - 13" Now granted these are external dimensions and we used .75" MDF... I'm just curious is this box too big for the sub? I have the sub wired to a 4ohm load on the rear channels of the 100.4. Any input would be greatly appreciated

I just wanted to post up some results from today.

Building a pair right now... on that note - I really do not plan to make any more of these until I get the spiders I'm designing for 10s as it is a bit of a pain in the butt to make these! In any event - someone talked me into making them a pair so here are a few pics :

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.

Well do to my X having over 160K miles on her and my recent tare in my roof from the bass its time for a new vehicle. I

any help would be appreciated. Thanks Yang

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.

alright i thought about this and figured it would be alot cheaper and alot more fun to do it this way. I figured everyone that is on team sundown that is going to sbn instead of getting a hotel room we should try to find a big ass vacation home. i have an air mattress and stuff so i dont mind sleeping on the floor and what not. it would also be alot cheaper i think for everyone. im sure we could find a big home we could cram lots of people in and im sure we have enough vehicles that seat enough people that we could caravan people to and from the show. we could leave the wives back at the house and let them all do their own thing since im sure none of them want to be u…

my amps protection light blinks on then goes off then when i turn the song it happens the arc of high amp electric its random it just starting doing it i had it installed for a few weeks sae1200 extra batt stock alt

I just wanted to say Happy Birth Day to Jake. Don't stop being awesome. Great Customers Service and product. Have fun.

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 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…

Anybody have any experience with the Z15 sub? Thinking about pairing one 15 with an SAE-1200D or SAZ-1000D. Also, what would be better, the SAZ or SAE? The Nightshade might be a little overkill for my tastes so I figured the Z15 might be just what I was looking for. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I think I found out why my subs stop playing

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!

Been working on an install for a guy and finally got to his front stage tonight. AA poly mids & CAL25 tweets running active off a 100.4 I spent about 5 minutes figuring out the dials, etc... and did a "best guess" for initial settings, then played some test tones to dial it in. I was SO close from the start and it only took about 30 minutes to get it all set up and sounding good. VERY nice amp for running active!!! Can't wait to strap the 1500D's to his sub tomorrow...

Hey everyone before i pull the trigger on two 100.4D and a 2000D can any one tell me their weight? Also if I'm not mistaken is the description for the 2000D @2 ohm 1000 or 100watts? Thank you J

I have heard GREAT things about this up and comming audio company! I have just upgraded to a fi BTL 18 fully loaded, so im now in search for an amp. I was wondering if anyone has specs on d class amp, more than 2000w continous. Where can i purchase an amp? Thanks for the help everyone

Ok I searched and couldn't find a thread about the 10" SD-1v2's can anyone give me a suggested enclosure size for a single one sealed? I will be running it with my SAE-1000 at 8ohms if I get it.. Thanks!! David
