Sundown Audio

I have a question. I have been reading that Sundown has two positive terminals hooked up parallel and two negative terminals that are hooked up in parallel. Which has lead me to be confused. (2) JL W7 13.5 (1500Wrms) DVC 1.5 ohm If I wire the woofers as so: And hook just one lead (+) to one (+) terminal on the amp and hook one lead (-) to one (-) terminal on the amp I should come out with 1.5 ohms and approximately 2625Wrms right? (and of course more power since they are underated) And secondly can I just hook it up to one lead and come out with the full power range?

Exceptional customer service! I bought 2 Sa-12's locally but forgot to take my DMM with me so kinda took a risk buying them.. One came out to be dual 4 ohm which the guy "didn't know about".. Ohh well. My friend ordered a recone for me but put no adress and left out some necessary info. I get an email from Debbie at Sundown notifying me about it and asking me the info that was left out. Before my friend ordered it I asked Jacob questions on pricing and how about to order the recone.. Didn't take much for him to get back to me. For the amount of emails he receives and work he has to do to get things taken care of, I am impressed I love their CS and products. Will definat…

so, ive ordered 2 saz3000d and jacob realy helped me a lot to get them here he realy is a great guy and also the amps are absolutely beautiful they are here since wednesday, but i didnt had any time to put them in the car but i realy wanted to test them, thats why i build a amprack and put them in the car yesterday, i know, i doenst look good, but it was made in 15mins so the amps are GREAT, amazing build quality and they realy put out some power, to be precise, ive killed my mt yesterday while playing music..... but damn it was loud just a quick shot of the amps

im looking to redo my set up. want to go with all sundown amps this time. will eventually go active or use the 3/4 chanels fo mid bass. after i buy my saz1500 & subs but until then can i use my 1/2 chns to run my comps passive and bridge 3/4 at 2 ohms on a small sub? or does it have to be at 4ohm? and what type of output can i get out of the bridged chns at each ohm load. i going to order the new heatsink model by the way.

I was looking into the SA-15 and looking at this spec sheet confused me. The specs for a sealed box are only implied for a D2 version of the subwoofer and the ported for a D4. Is this specific recommendations or can either subwoofer work for either enclosure type and size? Don't want to seem stoopid but I've never seen it explained that way before, so I had to ask.... Thanks....

Hello, One of my friend wants something to power his Xcon (in a 3.5ft3 net ported box). He wanted a Sundown 3500 D, but there are some really good deals on some 3000's. Do you think a used(from Sundown) or a refurb(from Db-r) 3000 can give the sub all the power it needs ? I think the 3500 is "better", but more expensive too ! How can they be compared ? AT 2 OHMS ONLY !!! BTW what to you think about used or refurbished amplifier ? I live in a Hot island (30° C all year long) so the ampp must be reliable. I would not like to send any amp back to the USA, shipping is about 200$ !!!

I was wondering if I could run the SAZ-3000D daily @ .4DCR. Current system setup 4 DD 9515D2 18Cu.Ft. Box tunes @ 42Hz, 12 Kinetik 2400, 1 Kinetik 1800(Front Bat), Missing Link, DC Power Alt, Idle voltage 14.4 Idle amps 140, 2k RPM 275 amps, 14.4 Voltage. Just wanting to is if this would be ok.

Got my 1200d yesterday, SWEET amp! one thing I still need though, A remote gain knob. Anyone have one taking up space and want to part with it? I need to be able to turn it down when the wife is in the car. Thanks all! David By the way, this amp is a healthy beast!

So... the other day I shipped an amp to the town I grew up in -- Severn, MD. Thought that was cool 2.8 miles from the house I used to live in.

got it back today hooked it up to my RF power hx2 15 and all i can say is DAMN!!!! much better then the 250wrms i did have lol. i gotta do some tweaks to my box and it will be even better im tuned at 40 hz and im regretting it now shoulda stayed tuned at 30hz...... pics and vids coming later today

got my 2 sa-12s in a 5 cube box tuned to 30-31hz using 2 4" aeros anyway i just got my crescendo bc2000 and i was playin today had to be pretty close to full tilt although amp clip light never came on anyway i am very happy with the performance of my amp and subs and box !! once done after about 10 min or so of playing different songs here and there i felt my dust caps and noticed they were luke warm now i went directly to the ports didnt smell anything is this normal ? sorry but first system i have ever had that was capable of actualy flexing anything so i had to play with it

I'll be making a thread later on to explain WTF happened and call for your help. For now just a picture, so if anyone has seen it on some other forums, write or PM me. I don't know if they are so dumb to leave the signs but... My baby...

Well, work started today on an install into the BMW. This is going to be a DC Audio/Sundown Audio demonstrator over here in the UK. The main thrust of todays work was to get the steel frame into position in the rear of the car, ready for the main woodwork to start going in tomorrow We have now got 5 runs of speaker cable down each side of the car, 2 0AWG ground, 2 x 0AWG power running down to the original chassis ground point and battery terminal. (the car has 1 x 0AWG run down from Alt to Battery as standard, may upgrade this if we fit a bigger alternator to it - 140 in there at the moment!), and 3 x RCA's going to the front.

Someone has to take care of things while I'm away : ... and his wicked awesome tool set that I got him for Christmas has an accurate plastic caliper with it so he can measure the gaps, coils, etc

Hey guys, I will be entering Db Drag trunk class this up coming season. Im running into a problem and was looking for advice. In trunk class I will be limited to only two batteries total, 15 volts total and 4k of power total that will be clamped at time of burp. Which sundown amp will be the best fit for me? also I plan on using either 2 nsv3 18's or 4 nsv3 12's at .5 ohms.

So my next install will consist of 2-saz2000 and 2-15inch NS d2 and i was wondering how much AH i should have on my batteries to support my 2 saz2000 straped at 2ohm? i know i read somewhere that if it is at 1ohm just take the fuse size and divide it by 2 and there you go! so for 1 saz2000 at 1ohm i would need a mini of 100ah battery to support it! now i am wondering, i got a good deal on some nsb 90 (90ah) and i can't pass up the deal but they are only 90ah each and i want to get 2 of them. now will this 90ah (180ah total) be enough to support 4krms at 2ohm? thanks for your time Kenneth

The-Scraper and I have been testing our azzes off this week. We got our hands on a Sundown SAZ3000D and tested it on the same setup as the Stetsom and Cyclops. This was not a power test or comparative test, but just to see how well it would do for a 3000watt amp. 3 x battcap 8400, 4 x dd9910's, 1 x sundown SAZ3000D @0.25ohm Results: db = 154.7; voltage drop 11.8. 1 x battcap 8400, 4 x dd9910's, 1 x sundown SAZ 3000D 0.25ohm results: db = 154.1; voltage drop 10.8 As far as 3000 watt amps goes I think it did very well. We did not do a power output. Will do that later on the NSB-g3100! We predict that it will do about the same on the NSB-g3100 as it did on a single batcap 8…

hey guys, i might be getting a nightshade here really soon, and i have been looking all over the forum and google to find recommended enclosure specs for it. any help would b great.

Need help on deciding which amp to choose to run my 2 - sa8s?

I have Knu Konceptz Krystal Rca's in my ride and I need a Single Rca to Master/Slave my Saz1500d's together. Anyone know of any nice Rca's to use to make the Single run? If you will post me a link cause i am looking to buy one tonight. I am searching as we speak. The shortest KnuKonceptz has is 13 feet. That is way to long. I am still looking.

Hi its Max here Just wondering - is there a website for SA amps or somewhere where I can see pictures? Please let me know. Thanks

I assume this is normal. Just curious what causes it to make a clicking noise when turning the amp on or off?

I have a Dual 3-ohm Subwoofer, which i plan on wiring in parallel for a 1.5 ohm load (actually measures 1.55 on digital multimeter). Could I use Two SAE-1000D Strapped with this load? One Saz-1500d would not be enough and 3000w would be to much.
