Sundown Audio

i was having some issues with my electrical, and my battery died at the school yesterday. long story short i had to go get a new battery and put it in. well at the school i don't have any tools in mine or my friends car. i decided that i was sick of hearing them rattle last week so i took them out hahah. and so i could only tighten the terminals by hand. well on my drive home, so i can completely tighten them, i was having some shorts goin on with the terminals and i ended up blowing 2 of my 30 amp fuses on my amp. i was just wondering if there is any way i can test the amp myself to make sure no other damage was done? i'm about to go get some new fuses, and i will get ba…

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,

This is Team Nemesis Jay's Magnum. It has a pair of Sundown NightShade 18"s powered by a pair of Sundown saz-3000s. This car loves screwed music and will play it all day long. The amps never get warm and the subs barely get a temp even after some hard beating. Here's a vid. The song playing is a screwed version of Gorilla Zoe - Waddle that peaks @ 31hz. I've heard some comments about NightShades not being able to play the lows. Well here's a reality check.

This is for the Saz-1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 3500 and up as well as the Sae-1200. Lets start out by saying that these amps are mono block amps. This means they are internally bridged (paralleled). First lets take a look at the sub. Unless you trim the wire down two 8 gauge are not going to fit in one terminal (if you want to parallel the coils at the sub). So, what I do is parallel the coils at the box. This is a picture of the speaker wires inside the box. This is what it looks like on the outside. Since the coils are paralleled on the inside of the box with the bolts, all you have to do is send two positives and two negatives to the amp. You can even put a set of …

Any one have them like t/s, mounting depth, displacement etc?

i will be redoing my install in a few months and wanted to know if maybe i can color match the amps with the color of the car... not really gonna be going to shows just a personal preference, i think the amps would look sick painted... new set up will be 2 15 ns, 2 1500s, and a 100.4, the box is getting built by pete which we havent worked on the details yet but he stated that we might go the horn route... i have a good bit of room to work with, enclosure space to work with is 16 high, 42 wide, and 30 deep... also i have a ohio gen 180/225 alt and getting a d3100 to replace my 2 dekas ( which i plan on selling).

I've been at SBN from Thursday night to last night... just now back in the shop. If you have not had a reply via PM or e-mail that is why. I will try to catch up today.

in peoples opinion which sub will sound better for spl. both will be in ported box built to specs, powered via 3500d?

so i was tunin my amp for my 12" Q. and i wanted to use as little bass boost as normal on the amp. but even if i maxed out the gains, set my LPF around 80hz, and turned down my bass boost to 0db. i was only puttin out about 17 volts (if i remember correctly i did it early this morning). i know it was below 20.. and i needed about 31.6 volts. is this normal? i used 50hz tone when i had no BB, and when i used it, i used a 60hz tone. the only way i was able to reach my needed volts, was when my gains are just over 3/4 set, and my bass boost is about the same spot, 15-17db. but is that about normal? would it be better if i maxed out the bass boost and compensated with my gai…

ONLY VOTE YES IF YOU *WILL* ORDER ONE during the first 30-day segment with the extra discount. Do not vote if you think you might... only if you will. Please POST if you voted YES - all other posts will be deleted. If I started it now and ran the pre-sale for 30 days it would 60-90 days after the "initial" pre-sale for amps to arrive but you would save $60 per amp vs. even the regular pre-sale for waiting the extra time. POLL RUNS UNTIL TUESDAY 3-17-09 -- if enough people are saying they will do it pre-ordering will start then. This puts amp delivery in late June to mid July. --- ORIGINAL POST: Who would be willing to put money down towards getting amps in late June if a …

havent seen any available on SSA site. just wondering where can i pick up a set of 15"s. just preordered the 3500d lookin for something that can hang. also order 100.4 need components for that too. i have a set of 3 way components but i dont know if i wanna use them they are 350 watts rms.

Building a new box for my 15" nightshade. Going to be running (3) 4" external aeros and was thinking about ~2-2.5 cu ft before displacement.. Will be testin different port lengths after I get the box built to see what does the best. Any input?

Refurbished saz-1500d or new saz-1500d. the new one i can get for 600 and refurbished will be getting for 450. which should i choose? this is coming from db-r.com

ok, so its either 2 15's or 2 18's and its coming down to port area that will decide whether i have enogh space or not. how much port area are you guys using for 2 18 nightshades. im shooting for 8cubes w/ ? port area @ 30hz

I made it here safe ..........

i read some were that the SAE-1200D is not stable @ 1 ohm. is this true? would i be able to run an fi bl with dual 2 ohm coils at 1 ohm for long periods without harming the amp?

i met up with nightshade the other day just to talk and hear the shades. And let me tell you its brutal!! i have been to a couple of shows and havent heard anything like this. vision blurry, hard to breathe, felt like somebody was just punchin me n the head and kickin me n the chest and that was only halfway on the bass knob. at full blast, i felt myself drifting in and out of consiousness LOL . zach is one of the coolest dudes youll ever meet, and he knows his chit. Just wanted to show him so love. Shout out to team sundown!! the videos doesnt do zach's setup any justice. his car flexes like crazy!! oh, and excuse the terrible cameraman **cough**

We are leaving tonight... so Sundown is closed Friday and Monday. So - if your stuff hasn't shipped and it is Friday or Monday that is why. We'll be back soon, though!

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:

is CA glue or the new epoxy included with a recone? i need to know if i have to find my own, or it's included

currently i run 2 12s off 2 1500ds... i am am having issues with wheter to stick with the 12's or change baskets and softparts to 15's... but before i go that route i wanna know how loud can 2 12's get in an optimal enclosure to acheive a little more loudness and range from these subs. as of right they they are crazy loud!!!!! but you always wanna a little more to see what these beasts can do. i've been talkin to pete about another box for my tweles and possibly 1 if i choose to recone them... we were working on a design that will have the subs drop as low as 15-20hz and still sound good all the way up to 90hz (daily beater) the box i have now is 4.4 cubes @ 35hz and real…
