PM me, or post here and I'll PM you. Thanks.

Both my 1500D & 100.2 is getting hot under normal operation. Not so hot I can't touch 'em but pretty warm. The 1500D is pushing my SS RL-p D2 at 1ohm & my 100.2 is pushing my comp set at 4ohms. I run 1/0 wire to both & they are in an area where they should be getting a sufficient amount of air for cooling. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Thanks guys.

Any of you guys have a box suggestion? will be running sub 60 and down. Would like an LSQ set up. I have 8" midbass drivers. Can't really find box recommendations from TC.

So I am looking to pick up my first monster amp and I'm between these two, cause I'm afraid they are going to stop making them. I am aware of the fact that the ns1 has had some problems in the past (mechanically, and shipping related) and that the ns1 is more oriented towards competition use. The SAZ-5000 I haven't heard a whole lot positive or negative or any feedback really at all. Besides the input voltage differences that the ns1 has and it's power difference, what are some differences between the two.

What's the highest voltage I can give a SAE-1000D and SAX-100.4? I'm giving them between 13.8 and 14.2 volts in park before voltage drop and the lowest I've seen it drop is 13.2 volts while playing at max. I'm considering a voltage regular for my EA 250A alternator. I may be adding another 1000D btw.

Hey guys i had a fast question to ask! I have a new h/u a kenwood KVT-817DVD single-din flip out monitor and it has a processor which it uses inconjuction with the deck. It has a sub pre-out but ONLY 1 and not 2 RCA out puts for the sub. So i was wondering if i need to use 2 sets of RCA's to plug into the amp or can i get away with 1 rca and just turn the gain up? amps: SAZ2000 and SAE1200 sorry if i am unclear on what i am asking. ALSO how do you calculate impedance rise? or do you just hook your DMM meter up to the sub after running the sub for a bit? also i have heard of a device called a AM-500 Accumatches and i was wondering if they are any good? or worth the in…

Some of you may know that I was going to get Sundown X 12s and then decided to get 2 10s because I couldn't fit 2 12s properly since they require a much bigger box and I'm kinda limited on room. I decided to have subs/port facing rear and have my battery and amps up closer to the front and build an amp rack there. I have a box design for the 10s here it is: Sundown recommends a much larger box (1.5-2.0 cubes per 10) to utilize the new surround and suspension. It will get much more excursion then. Also minimum required port area for these 2 10s is 75in2. Well I've been thinking since I have a height of 17 and a width of 34 I could fit 2 15s on the face. However, the…

I finally got to put power to my pair of sa10 subs. I have 2 wired to 1 ohm in 2.5 cu ft net tuned to 32 hz with 40 sq in of port. They are running off my saz-1500d. And are taking it no problem. I only have about an hour of play time on them. So we'll how much they loosen up. So far I'm impressed. I'm coming from an re sx 15 in 4.2 cu ft net tuned to 32 hz running @2 ohms off the same saz-1500d. They are a little louder than the sx15, but night and day cleaner. They hit so much tighter than the sx. Rock and metal are enjoyable again. My current electrical is seriously lacking and I've got some bad voltage drop. So I know there is more in them. Over all I'm very happy wi…

I should be able to wire up my 100.2 to the RL-i8 DVC 4 in the next few days, and I just wanted to make sure I understand all of my options. When I was talking to denim about the 100.2, I think he mentioned that I could bridge it and then wire the RL-i8 in series at 8 ohm. He says the 100.2 pushes out more than it's rated for (500W bridged?). Even at 8 ohms, 250W should be enough to drive the sub for daily SQ use. Unless I'm mistaken, shouldn't I also be able to wire it in parallel at 2 ohms for the full 400-500W? I would just as soon leave it in series and let the amp run cooler, providing it can push the sub adequately, but I wouldn't mind trying the higher output j…

Recently my 1200D has been going into protect after about 30 seconds of being on and I have no idea what's causing it. I always let me car run for a few minutes before turning my amps on (they are both on switches). Two days ago I went and bought all new brass screws, bolts, and washers and re-did my grounds for both the Sundown and my Pheonix Gold amp. I sanded the paint off the area and tightened them down. Yesterday I pulled the Sundown out of my car and opened it up to make sure nothing burned up. Visually, everything looks perfect and my fuses are intact. I guess the problem started when I got my component set but I don't see how that could be the issue. I've checked…

Hi, i hope you unterstand what i mean with fm radio disturbtion.. I have a ssd 10 dual 2 in 1.4 cuft ported to 36hz and it needs more power than it has right at the moment. So i was thinking to buy a saz 1000d or the sale sae 1200d. I know shipping to germany will be expensive but i want to try sundown amps :-) But i wounder if these amps disturb the receiving of the fm signal, because i had a t20001 in my car an didnt virtually receive any station anymore... Can you help my a bit with my decision??

demos/bails/term lab. check it out rate it 5* (or w/e the new thing youtube has going), comment, and subscribe! Thanks!

The glue on multiple speakers has come off... The glue that holds the spider to the basket. I have my subsonic filter set to around 30hz, and the speakers were getting around 180 watts RMS max

how safe would it be to run 2 15" nightshades off a saz4500?

Mike Bruno is going to be re-building the QC failed E8 drivers with all new parts for $60 + shipping : http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=340607 Get them while they last... when the E8s come back into stock the pricing will not be as low as the original pre-sale.

Thanks to Jacob and Sundown, the prize for the KFC wing eating contest at the June 13th Db Drag, Competition Only, and IASCA show in Andrews will be a Sundown 1500d! There will be a $20 entry fee. First one to finish WINS! Registration will be on a first come first served basis. There will only be 10 entries available. Show will start around 3:00 pm and registration for the wing contest will begin around 4:00 with the contest starting around 7:00 pm.

so can i just change the frame on a sa-8 v1 to a as-8 v1.5 NOT sa-8V2??????

Since the new SAZ-1500d v2 does not have any fuses inside or outside of the amplifier, what is the suggested size for the in line fuse?

Well i have recently sold off everything out of my daily driver to fund a new build in a different car. I also am working on a budget install in my daily driver to replace everything that has been removed and sold off. Im looking for a pair of clean sounding 6.5" componets w/ some nice out put for under 200 bucks shipped. Power will be coming from a 100.2 passive until the 50.4 comes out then they will be active. Thanks Corey

on the e8's what does the e stand for?

Ok I am runnign the single SD1v2 sealed in my MINI and it sounds great! I also have 4 more and was thinking about running them ported off of a 1000d or a 1200d in my wifes car or my 4runner. Any suggestions for a ported enclosure for 4 of them? I have 2 4" areo's to use, how much airspace for the set? Thanks all! David

I purchased 4 saz1500 amps. I have not purchased my subs yet. Would it be better to run an amp to each sub individually or link 2 amps together and run them to 2 subs each? I planned on buying a mlx-100 so signal loss will not be a problem.

Ok, just bought a new car and my ported box does not fit. So I need to make a new one. I have a 2008 Civic SI coupe. What I am wondering is speaker/port placement. I am use to SUV's and sub up / port back. I have read with a trunk that sub back / port back is the way to go. Just asking to make sure before I buy the material and build this box. Also, I see that SA 12's are 1.5 to 2.0 for ported boxes. With 1.75 being on there spec sheet. I have 1250 watts to push 2 12's and was wondering. Would it be better to go 1.5 / 1.75 / or 2? And what hz would you recommend? Currently the box I have is 3.5 @ 32hz and sounds ok with JL 12w3's in it. I am playing 70% rap/bass cd…
