Hey, just wanted Team Sundown to know that The crowd at the XSPL Show with Drop Jaw Magazine in Kinston N.C. was off the hook! There were so many women, ooops I mean people that it really made it for a great time! I gave so many demos, I thought I was DJ just for a minute. I took home a 2nd place trophy for sealed on the dash or kick (160.1) and a 2nd place for Hardcore in the port (167.3) on the AC Meter. I also set new records for SUV 2000+ watts (sealed up and hardcore). Jacob, the new subs are louder! If I could ever figure out that Maxxlink.....

do you guys have a shop in statsville, NC it says my package is comming from their and thats not but a 2 hours away im just curious.

Jacob, How would I setup a 1200D and a 125.2, Rca wise? I know how to, but I am just double checking. I would run Rca's from the sub output to the 1200D and Front to the 125. Correct? If I wanted to hook up another 1200D, I would just use the pass thru right? When I get the 100.4 I run Rca's from front and rear right? Just Wonderin so I can have everything when My HU comes in. I'm going out on Halloween and I wanna flex a bit

Ok, I'm going to try to make this as easy to understand haha. It's for a 100.2 btw. I went to mock up my amps in my trunk, and in order to retain access to my spare tire, I'm mounting my amps in a certain way. In order to mount it the way I want, I think I need to unbolt the exterior casing, and turn it 180*. Basically my OCD is kicking in, and I want the "sundown" facing in the direction my other amp is facing. I know I can probably unbolt the strip that says sundown, but can I actually rotate the casing like I said? Basically, the 100.2 sticker lies over the power, but can I turn the casing so the sticker lies over the rca inputs? If not, maybe Jacob could hook me up wi…

total so far is 2x 3000ds and 2x 100.2s gotta pre order my 100.4

What's the opinion from everyone, would there be a big difference by switching from a Massive Audio DMX 12 to a Nightshade 12?

While driving my amp turned off and inspecting it I found that all four fuses on the amp were blown. What all could have possibly caused this?

I own an Atomic AT 1600.1D and recently purchased a Sundown SAZ 1500D because I am converting once the Sundown 50.4 comes out. I tested it out today in my truck and here's my opinion. Both amps are very very well built. There was noo difference in bass and performance. Both amps never get hot. They both performed surperbly on my 3 10's. The major difference and Chris from DB R told me this was the heatsink design. The Sundown was much heavier. The Sundown is built like a tank I mean that "mother" is one solid amp. The external appearance for both looks about the same the Sundown in my opinon looks a little better. I think the major difference though will be in c…

Well yesterday i went to a car show in my area and me and my teammate path2spl made a folks drop there jaws, pick up there faces, and pretty much chit on themselves when me and path2spl came thru... long story short..path2spl took first place in a 3-4subwoofer class with a 158.1 at the kick with the door open @ 45hz on the ac180mic that was calibrated to be 3.5-4 db's down from the tl mic....u do the math his setup 3nightshade 15's 3 saz1500d's http://sundownaudio.com/rides_dfabio.html second place was 5 db's lower and it had 4 of the new mojo 15's subs up and 2 mmats 3500.1's and third was 1db's lower with 4 jbl wgti 15's in a wall with 2 fosgate t4kw's i was in the …

Jacob, thank you so much for all of the support and finally here it is... the F150 is done mostly. Most of these photos are on my build log posted on the SSA forum. Here is the finished (mostly) product. A few more tweaks are coming a Kenwood head unit, leather interior, some fiber glass work (probably going to put some E8s in for mid-bass), wheels and new paint. Oh did I mention that it's a sleeper?

all 16 tweets............lol the 16 mids will be powered by 2x 100.2s (8 mids per amp) i was going to get a 100.4 for all 16 tweeters, i think i came up with a 3.3 ohm load per channel (4 mids per channel) each tweet is 3 ohms, DMM reads 3.3 ohms.... what would be the best way to do this? really dont need more than 25w per tweeter at most.

im sure its been asked before but im about to strap my amps today... so do the gains need to matched or does the master control gains for both amps?

I know the sax-100.4 can handle 10-16v but what about a lil above that. lets say from 17-18v. Im trying to run my whole system all on 16v eliminating the extra 1/0 wire running from under the hood and adding to the 16v charging system. thanx in advance

with all the new amps coming out thru sundown, how long will the saz-1500d be available? i need to get another one, but it will be at least another month or two before i can. Like, are the going to discontinue it when other amps come out? thanks

Ok, so I was wondering witch way I should go with the box. First off these are the custom Nightshade 18"s and I have a 3000D on each for anyone that didn

I know I am overloading you guys with special offers and pre-orders... but who would be interested in a 125.2 pre-order ? We have SO many new things coming out that I really want people to have their hands on them right away to get the word out So... I have considered adding the SAX-125.2 to the pre-order frenzy... any thoughts ?

Hello, How many watts will my Sundown SAZ 1500D give me @ 1.34 ohms? I have a Duralast Gold battery up front, Batbap 800 in the back. 0 guage wiring in the entire car. I have 3 T3 TS series 10 in a sealed box single 4 ohm wired for 1.34 ohms. Thanks

whats the smallest box a 15" nightshade can go in

Hey Guys, Just wondering, how do you know if you are clipping your amp? I thought it was if your voltage drops to low. If it does have something to do about voltage, where can you get the electronic volt meters I've seen in ppl's car?
