Sundown Audio

will there be one and when will it start. thanks

Quick gain setting question. I am running the 1000D on a AA Havoc, which is a 1200W rms driver, at 1ohm. When I set the gain using the DMM method to attain an output of 1000W with at an ideal 1ohm load the VAC reading should be about 31.6. However, at this level the output of the driver does not seem to be anywhere near it's full potential. When I actually measured the impedance of the sub wired at "1ohm" it was in the 1.2-1.4ohm range. So my question is should I use sqrt(1000*1.4)= 37.4VAC instead of sqrt(1000*1)=31.6VAC when setting the gain? Also, how do you normally factor in the bass boost, LPF, and sub-sonic filter settings when setting the gain? Thanks!!!!

Im looking at buying an 18" nightshade, it is brand new, re-coned from Sundown. but the seller doesnt recall whether it has the upgrades done to it, or if its an original stock model. is there any way to physically tell the difference? this will be running of a sundown 3000, so i would like to have the upgrades that can handle the power better. thanks, Cody

I'm sorry for the silly question but what makes you a member in Team Sundown?

is it safe to buy a refurbished amp? im planing on buying a bnew sae1200d but i saw that dbr is selling refurbished amps. and iam thinking on buying a refurbished saz1500d. whats the down side in buying refurbished amps? aside from its already used. any suggestions?? thanks

First off, have to give a big thanks to Jacob for allowing me to use the Sundown logo, and for supplying me with some hi-res jpegs. Finally got some free time in one of our CNC's and got this in. All i have left to do is paint the lettering to make it stand out more. Something wrong with the way the pic came out on this one on the "audio" shape Now to do the other one.

I was driving today and all of a sudden lost my mids. They were actually still playing, but were VERY quiet, had to put my ear right up to them to hear them. My setup is an RF 3sixty.2 doing 2 way active (plus sub) feeding a pair of 100.2's and a 1500d. So far I tried swapping the mids over to the tweeter amp and they work fine, the output on the 3sixty also works fine (I first suspected the 3sixty anyway. The protect light isn't on, no fuses are blown and the amp still works, but is very quiet. If I bring the gain up the speakers get louder, but the amp is being clipped badly and the speakers crackle (they work fine on the tweeter amp). Does anyone know of anything else …

so 95a alt 650a bat, using 1500d sundown amp with 18" Fi Bl. Do i need to do big3 or can I survive without it?

Which sundown amp would be the best for a 18" Fi BL 1000rms sub?

For you that don't know....I talked to Jacob today at 2 pm central and he was excited, he was driving to the hospital Lil Jake was on the way..... I got off the phone with him quickly before he killed everyone! Lil Sundown was pimpin at 4 lbs and 7 oz! :bigclap: :bigclap: Congrats dude see you at SBN!

Finally got everything in, and it is DAMN loud! Box will stay bare MDF until I get my Sundown SAZ-3500D, as its a pain in the ass to pull the box out. Setup did a 148.2 @ 50hz, even though I peaked @ 42hz. Problem was I did not have any other tones on hand, so obviously this setup is doing more than a 148.2. Hopefully next time I can get accurate results

We did 148.6 on the first run but we didn't take a picture... got hot after a couple of burps so it went down a hair We have four 1500Ds @ 2 ohms each on it, no clue on actual power after rise - but I think it would actually sustain more on a burp. Not bad for my upcoming 1000-watt rated woofer, huh ?

Ok, I will probably have a SAX-100.4 in my hands by Friday. As long as UPS does good work. What I'm wondering is, if I drop the amp lower then 2 ohm per channel, will it gain much more power? And if I drop it lower then 4 bridged, will that gain noticeably more power? I'm just wondering here.

currently i have 2 12 nightshades in right now, and when the big sale on the 12's were going on a few months ago, i paid for two and put 200 down for 2 more when i was looking at getting a bigger car... my question is would i be louder with maybe buying another 1500d and pay the remaining 85 to take one sub or put the money towards upgrading them to 15 baskets . so.... 3 12 ns on 3 1500's or 2 15 ns on 2 1500d's(also i really like the sound of 15's) my last set up was a btl 15 on 2 1500ds in a chambered t-line and that set up equally if not more louder than this set. current 12's are in a 4.4 cube @ 35 hz. when the decision is made, pete will be building my box, always wa…

Has the title states , do you? How about some pics of your shop has a bonus?

Hello, I have a 100.4 running a set of infinity mids and highs and 2 kicker 8 midbass speakers in my doors. When I first installed it all, it sounded good. Now over the past few days, the speakers have been getting distorted and static sound in them. Now they are at the point that you cannot hardly even hear the music. I have replaced the rca cables, removed every speaker from the amp to see if there was a loose or grounded wire, and removed the head unit and checked every connection. No success... Cannot figure this one out... Maybe someone can help me fix this problem.

i can get either for the same price.whats the difference other than 200wts. is there an advantage of one over the other? Im just lookin for some help, both units make the power i need at the right load , so which should i choose

And it's amazing!

is it possible to fix a blown mosfet on a saz-3000d? if so how would i go about it and how much would it cost. i found one for sale and was wonderin if it is fixable

We are considering offering a trade-in program at Sundown Audio - similar to what HAT is doing but with amplifiers. Who would be interested in that? For example... You currently have, say, a HiFonics BX1206D but want an SAZ-1500D. The SAZ-1500D retails for $799 MSRP and SSA sells it for $570. We would give you credit of $125 for your amp (75% of e-bay price) and you would pay $445 for the SAZ-1500D. The amount of credit would, of course, depend on the condition of your trade and current pricing for that model in the new or used market (depending on how old it is). Any thoughts ?

when i put the subs in about two weeks ago the box slid back towards the trunk lid while being played and caused a crack in the surround on one of em. trying to avoid getting a recone b/c the sub plays fine, just thinking about the longevity aspect another question is that im thinking about getting another box made along the lines of 3.5-4 cubes @ the lowest possible tuning and still get loud. i was thinking 30 hz for these beasts.

Thanks to the Sundown folks for answering all my stupid "rookie" install questions. This was my first install and I did everything but build the box. My emails were all answered within 20 minutes or less. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Those Nightshades are going to rip my little CRV apart. Here is the finished product. (Well almost. I haven't gotten the 100.4 hooked up yet)

i was always wondering about this lol...how did you come up with the name? any reason or meaning to it, or were u just in the sun looking down and decided to name it that or something ahhah :bigclap:

So many thanks to Jacob. I got home from work today and what did I have waiting for me?? so what could it be? oh yeah! so what is it going to be powering? 3.1ft^3 tuned to 32 Hz 45 sq in of port I hope to have it installed no later than this weekend. once again thanks Jacob Chad
