Sundown Audio

Just wanted to post up our team's results from this past weekend. Jeremy McCord Two 15" Sundown Nightshades and one Sundown 3000D on 80 amps of fusing. Drive-By 2 1st place with a 124.6 Drive-By best of show with the loudest Drive-by score of the day. Corey Mitchell One 12" PBX XS and one Sundown 1500D on 60 amps of fusing. Drive-By 1 1st place with a 120.4 Phat 12 award for the loudest system with a single 12" sub. For everyone that does not know, this is metered on the Termlab doing a 30 second average with the meter 6 feet outside of the vehicle. I did not get any pictures of the show because of the bad weather.

i was wondering...i have 2 sets of components...and was planning on giving them 150watts each..600watts in all for all 4. I figured i could bridge each channel and run 2 comps off of the bridged channel. but the amp is rated for 320w at 4 ohms not 2 ohms which is what they would be running...i dont guess this would work would it??

What is the phone number to contact sundown audio? I have looked on the website and on this website and in my owners manual etc. and i can't find it.

Will Sundown have a booth in Daytona and/or bringing any products down to show off or sell? I'd like to see these new Nightshades in person.

So just got back from college and still having problems with my channel 2 on the amp. The tweeter goes on and off when i drive. It comes back after i shut the headunit off for any given amount of time - could be quick could be long. I checked the connection of the speaker and saw that it was not solid so i replaced the speaker wire and fixed the connection; nevertheless the tweeter still does not play. Any ideas? I have tried the same speaker on channel 1 and it works fine.

THIS IS A VID OF THE NIGHTSHADE PLAYING MUSIC WITH THE METER IN ANOTHER CAR (6FT AWAY)...AND A HAIRTRICK IS IN THERE NIGHTSHADES FTW!!!!!!!!! 80

Where should i set my ssf filter to on my saz-1500d? Using it to push a AQ hdc in a 3.5 cube box tuned to 38.

I am just checking if you got my PM, I have seen you on, but not sure if you just missed it or are ignoring me. BTW, I dont think you are ignoring me!

I just placed an order at DbR for a refurbished SAE-1200D. They are stated as not including the remote. Does anyone know where I can get one for it? Are they a standard phone jack type remote that I could snag one from Ebay or somewhere else ?

images speak for themselves

so i have decided on getting the sundown 2500 to run a pair of fi q15's and i had some questions about the electrical needed to support this. i was looking at getting a delco alternator that puts out 220 amps max and 110 amps idle, stock is a 110 max, a kinetik 2400 in the back and 0 ga wire for power, ground and big 3. you guys think this will be sufficient? also would a 250 amp fuse be ok, or should i go with a 300 amp fuse?

Hey guys I have started a new build and have been taking some pics along the way! so i thought now it was about time to share some pics of what i have thus far! at any rate please let me know what you think, if you see something out of place please ask! this is also my first time building a box like this! it was fun! kind a lol. other then that I will be sending my 2 motors out for a 12inch recone some time very soon! I will share pics of my shipping box's (tomorrow)! I hope you guys like them!

Little video of magnetizing a "Team Sundown" motor in our machine; with a little more info on what exactly we are doing.

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**

Four in my Explorer powered by a single saz-3500 @ 0.5ohm. They love it. These subs are truly little beasts. You need to hear them in person to understand just how good they sound and how loud they can get. And they're a good price too. Playing DJ Billy E Playing Gorilla Zoe - Juice Box screwed More vids coming later. Gotta get home to upload them off my actual video camera.

What is the best way of purchasing a SAZ-1500d?

I got 2nd place in the Modified 1001 - 2000W class last night with a score of 147.0db @ 48Hz in the kick panel of my '02 GMC Envoy. This score to me seems really odd though. A month ago with my stock 150Amp Alt I did a 147.9db @ 38Hz sealed on the dash but this time sealed in the kick I was only able to achieve 147.0db @ 48Hz with a 300Amp alt. Can anyone comment as to why you think that is so? Also looks like I have an issue somewhere with my wiring. I can play music all day long at full tilt with no problems, but once I put on the USACI Shootout CD and play a test tone the slave amp goes into protect once I hit 12V. Forget to mention before above. System consists o…

* Peak Score 6.5 feet away - 128.2 dB on music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkKPgifYfvA * 25 Hz peak SPL - 140.4 dB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0vYteGwShg * 29 Hz peak SPL - 141.4 dB

What kind of current draws can I expect from the 1500D and the 100.2? I see that the combined fuse rating is 220 amps, but I assume this is under extreme situations. I have been considering incorporating both in my new system, but I only have a 130 amp alt. I really don't want to replace it if I can get away with it. The 1500D would be powering a Q 15 more than likely. Does anybody have any experience running this sub/amp combo? How about the same sub with a 1000D?

I took 1st on a dbdrag event at a big autoshow that took place this weekend. i did 145.1 @ 55hz later ill post pics of the trophy

I am a new Sundown Dealer and I have been seeing great results w/ these woofers. BUT...the lack of mounting information is really hurting my leeway to fully expand my designs in limited space builds. I see that mount depth is listed most subs, but motor diameter would REALLY help also. probably an unreasonable request (just wishing) but a google sketch-up model of the subs would make my world exponentially better I just finished an install today w/ 2 SD-2 10's in a '97 ext cab chevy (sealed ~.6cuft each, customer loved it, great low-end response) and I "called" the SD-motor diameter ~7". After crunching some #'s, I figured that I can build a SICK budget setup w/ a sin…

hi guys, im using this calculator http://www.caraudio911.com/tutorials/GainSet/voltage.htm to get my gains all set up on my truck, and im getting different numbers. i have 2 sundown saz1500-ds strapped, and 2 d2 fi audio BTL 18s in my s10 can someone help me out on getting these gains where they should be? also i metered it the other day just setting the gain by ear and it did a 146.8 legal. im getting 2 more sundowns down the road, i want to be in the 150 club! thanks for your help in advanced,

so i was thinking of 2 saz-3000d as well as the 100.4... this is for daily ... if i have it strapped for 1 ohm (each amp at .5 ohm) and i tune it with an oscilloscope is this still a bad idea? ... wouldnt the nominal resisitance rise up to over 1 ohm anyway so it would be safe? ... what do you recommend as far as total aH (jake i forgot what you said lol) and how many strands of 1/0 will suffice to the rear (approx 15 ft from front to back battery bank)?
