Sundown Audio

Just wanted to publicly thank Jacob for his support with my cause! A great guy with a big heart and with a great product! To save some typing, here is a link: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=26719 That right there my friends shows this company is going places.....well besides DOMINATING SPL events.

This is a Nightshade w/ cooling and 50mm WW 8-layer coil with a prototype cone we are testing. Coil is Dual-1 configuration. It includes the latest bolted down spider upgrade and utilizes a 3-layer spider. $400 for this prototype, shipped in continental 48 - there is only one like it right now.

Hi, I have just sold my Mmats 3500.1 amplifier as it didn't have the subsonic option and I just wanted a change... I was looking into a Sundown 3000 amplifier but after speaking with our UK dealer (DirectIce) I have been advised they are being replaced with the 3500 version. He is still looking into if he can get hold of the 3000 for me, any ideas and prices for both? In

i am going to be running 2 12" Q's w/ bp power off of a sundown 2000 that i have preordered. i also plan on ordering a 100.4 sundown amp also for my 6.5" and 6x9's. i was looking at the knukonceptz dual amp 0 gauge wiring kit. what size inline fuse would i want and also the 2 fuses on the distribution block? also for the rca cables there are options for 4ch and 2ch. i am not sure of what i would need exactly. sorry for all the questions, i just want to try to get everything right the first time. thank you in advance.

I was wondering what the difference between the older 3000D and the New 3000D? Besides the casing.. Can the older 3000D be okay at .5 Ohm?

Kit I am planning on buying: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-PK0 What fuse size shall i need to buy?

at a local show. pretty good number with 4 1500's on 6 IA DR 12's. would of done a better number if i didn't start later in the song like i did. the end had a pause in it for about a sec and it wasnt a consistant note which dropped it more.

Here you go:

it broke my jeep....

I generally don't do things of the sort. But.....ygpm

here goes... i had an old speaker book... in the wiring diagrams it shows a "phantom" wiring series... it shows on a 2 channel amp.. 3 speakers ran and it stays at say 4 ohms... 2 speakers hooked up normaly, then the 3rd is left + and right - can the sundown roll like that?

I decided to redo the gain setting on my saz3000 without using bass boost. Sub is audiopulse axis I started to set it using a DMM on ac volts along with an ac clamp meter first run gain was at min and i got 31.7 volts and 12.89 amps = 408 watts?? second run higher gain-- 79.8 V, 24 A = 1915 watts another higher gain-- 83.4 V, 25.3 A = 2110 watts another higher gain-- 84.8 V, 26 A = 2204 watts after that run the amp shut off. I checked how much more gain i had and i was amost max. so i turned off the amp, tried it again and i could see/hear clipping so i got confused 2204 watts and clipping, I got my WT3 woofer tester and did an impedence curve. My clamp meter has an AC …

Maybe I should run multiple smaller amps instead of 1 large amp. So instead of a 3000, maybe 2 1500's. I am liking the idea of it, more wiring options. What do yall think?

I have four subs that the speaker leads burned through. What would cause this? Same amp ran all subs. They died at same time. Would amp putting out DC do this? Coils are fine. I am stumped.

Well here goes.... I have the option to either buy a 1993 s10 extcab or an astrovan. Kinda stuck on what to get. Now I have built both before for a couple guys in the area but this ones mine. Either way its going to get LOUD. Just want some ideas on which one?

Check them out... I think he wanted his doors to match his teeth... that is the word on the street.

Well im a big fan of Sundown and recently aquired a 3000D now im using one of the clasic Opti AMps and might be able to sell and was considdering saz 4 channel. Neetless to say if they keep doing what they are doing ill never buy a different branded Mono but my question is about the 4 ch Ill be using it to run active so crossover points not that important but being loud and sounding clean will be. It will be the older labeled model but it will still be un used. IDK if that makes any difference

I was wanting to try the sundown amps, I'm currently using JL slash v2 amps and wanted to switch to something new, i know so many use these amps for SPL, but I'm redoing my install for USAC and MECA. 3 way up front and 1 12" in the back.

I have 2 SSA Icon 15s and wanted to know if I should get the 1000, 1200, or 1500. I read on here that it if I have a bigger box then I will need less power and also that the 1200 can out out as much power as the 1500 on a normal, daily, unstrapped setup. Would there be much of a audible difference if I use the 1000 rather than the 1200 or 1500? 2 SSA Icons 15s 8 cuft ported box tuned to 32hz **I know everyone will say 1500 but I m thinking about the price as well and would it be worth spending hundreds more for a little change. I was leaning towards the 1200 because of the power it can give out or the 1000 because I have a big box and need less power.

well went to a show today, and somehow only managed a 145.3 @ 36hz with the equipment in sig. I'm thinking it's in the enclosure. Can someone throw me some dimensions for an optimal box for these? I have plenty of room to work with so thats not an issue. I've seen posts where people are doin a 150+ with these subs and less power and still listening to it daily so i now a big number is in them, just need a different box.

i have been wondering why there is no iinformation on www.sundownaudio.com about the SAE-1000D? is it old? or do you guys just not make them any more? i bought mine off db-r.com a couple months ago.. so the only chance i would have of finding another SAE-1000D is if i buy it from another person?

My current set up is (1) 15" nightshade off a 3000d @ 1 ohm. So 3000 watts daily. I know it handles the power easily, but with the warmer weather comin I am afraid I am going to hurt it because I like to ride windows down music up. Should I get the (2) 12"s or do you think I'm good with my current set up?Obviously (2) 12" subs would be more cone area than (1) 15" sub, so that alone would get me louder. I am mainly concerned about running 3000 watts to this sub to much and frying it!!

I'd like to know what's the efficiency spec. of the nightshades. I couldn't find it in the website.

Where can I order a 18" Nightshade? Thanks,
