Sundown Audio

1: In the power connection section of the manual, it shows the amp connected directly to the battery; no fuse for the wire, just the 3 30 amp fuses on the amp, but there is a fuse in the wire in the 2000 and 3500 diagram. I know that the 2000 and 3500 do not have fuses of their own and therefore need the fuse in the power wire, but I did not know that there was no need to fuse the power wire for the 1000 and 1500... I have always been told to fuse the power wire no matter what, so this is new to me. 2: I have always been told by many reputable members of this forum that sundown rates their amps' output at 12.8v instead of 14.4. However, in the manual, it says that th…

We are holding a sale on the SAZ-1000D model for $275 shipped in the continental USA -- regular price is $315 each. Everyone knows what these bad boys can do! Here is a link to the specification page : Sundown Audio - SAZ-1000D Either contact your favorite online or local dealer or send me a Paypal to [email protected] to order ! This would make a GREAT combination with the close-out SAX-50.4 for a complete Sundown amp system for only $475 total.

I was just wondering if the saz-1000D would be stable at .5 ohms. dont really wanna try it without asking first. thanks guys

What "bass knob" does the SAZ use? I REALLY like the one that came with my SAX-100.4 amp and would like to have the same kind for my SAZ. Anyone know?

will my saz-1000d xcon be ok powering my xcon? and when i wire to 1oh do i just put the + and - into the B speaker side?

I know everyone has been anxiously awaiting these models to be available for ordering -- today is the day !!!

I've had this guy for a while but it seems I never posted up about it. Here are some photos of it -- tests out very similar to the SAX-1200D in power but is in our new narrow casing with a new layout. Pre-order coming soon along with 2500D v.2 and 3500D v.2 models... ETA by end of January 2013. * Much smaller than SAZ-1500D

well jus like the title says ..my amp is going into protect.. i was doing some runs on the TL and it suddenly started going into protect...i checked the speaker and it reads 2.3 ohms and is a d4 on parallel....what could it be??

Can anyone help me with access to the saz-1500 owners manual? It seems the link is down: http://www.sundownaudio.com/products/SAX-1...manual_0607.pdf

Basically, I have just bought two (more) ReSponse 1500 watt amps, same board as the SAZ-1500. These amps are protection happy at 0.5ohm per amp, which puzzles me, as I have used two others in the past, (one borrowed, one mine) that happily played everything, wired at 0.5ohm daily... Does anyone have the schematic of the protection circuit in the sundown amp? so I can potentially compare values, or possibly someone can point me in the direction of what components may need to be changed? thanks!

quick question about running 1 sub to a 1500d. in the owners manual its shows the way to wire 1 sub up a little weird. does it really matter which terminals you use?

hey guys since i dont got a dmm handy, i want to set my 1500d as accurately as possible so can u guys who are running 1500ds or amps with similar settings give me a heads up on exactly what you guys have your settings at? ive recently been running mine on 2 type argh's and they get stinky within about 3-5 at times. so any help on settings so my amp sends a cleaner feed to my subs so they dont stink as much?

So i finally received my new saz-1500d and i had a question regarding the power wire. is 0ga wire necessary to run this amp? i have a run of 4ga right now and i am trying to avoid the trouble of rewiring if i can. thanks, matt

well im bored and feel like writing a bit lol so i wanna say that this amp works great @ .35 ohms...im burping with it and it can take numerous burps without even getting hot, the volume doesnt have to be rolled cause it wont go to protection. I was doing 140-141 with it @ 1.4 ohms and when i lowered it to .35 my # goes up to 145-146. also the amp is pretty efficient @ .35, my volt goes down to 12.8 without recharging batts. also the amp can play music/bassrace fine with it...i bassraced a 139.6 with it(the damn bass ended 2 sec. before the run :S) , it also plays music fine, i played 3 full songs and THE amp took it like a champ...anyways im not telling everyone to go on…

right now i have 1 1500d that i havent even taken out of box yet. I was going to run 1 12" BL, but now i have traded vehicles. Now thinking of running 2 15's or 2 18s. Since i already have the 1 1500d, which would draw less current running 2 1500d's or just 1 3000d? I may just sale the 1500d just to make easier on the wiring. thanks

ANY AMPLIFIER SOLD AFTER MARCH 31st 2007 NO LONGER CARRIES 0.5 OHM WARRANTY COVERAGE. Full explanation is available in this thread: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7556 ---------- If you intend to run your SAZ-1500D at a 0.5 ohm nominal load please read this entire thread, especially the sections in bold near the bottom. To put it simply at the top... this is a warranty against damage NOT a guarantee that your setup will run without a hitch at 0.5 ohms all the time. I suggest that most consumers run a DCR not under 0.7 ohms for daily applications, and to reserve extremely low impedance use for competition. Read the full text for all details. ------…

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7406 It is a sticky post up top... updated today with pictures on how to strap the amps. I've had several problems lately with customers who has not hooked up the amps correctly when strapped due to confusion as to what the manual is saying. Hopefully these photos will answer your questions.

Hey guys, I'm new here.....thought I would come ask the experts. Well I recently purchased a barely used 1500D. Previously I ran an mrd-m501 for about 2 years to 2 12" R's, then I swapped it out for the saz, running it at 2 ohms. alls I did was swap the wires. the 1500D worked flawlessly for about 2 weeks, then all of a sudden today it got protection happy. my electrical is stock 105amp alt. stock batt. with 4 gauge wiring. It was fairly hot today, +35*C......so when it kicked into protection the 1st time I pulled over, checked the connections, turned it back on and it worked. the 2nd time it kicked into protect it wouldnt go back on I turned everything off except the a…

Here's the setup, a pair of Sundown Audio SAZ-1500d's strapped at 1 ohm. In the box used in the test (a single Funkin Audio MF12, dual 2), rise went from 1 ohm to 2 ohms during play. Here are the results: Notes: * Highest power on 16.0v rest was 4663 watts on 14.3v * Highest power on 16.5v rest was 5136 watts on 14.3v * Highest power on 17.9v rest was 5677 watts on 15.5v * 84% efficient on 15.0v and 180 amps of draw per amp There was a 10% increase in power starting 0.5v higher with an ending voltage being the same. There was another 10% increase when starting at 1.4v higher and ending 1.2v higher. This would tell me that a lowest voltage over 16.5v like…

Ive got a SAZ-1500D hooked up to a Fi Q 18. It worked great for about 2 months, and all of a sudden the sub made a pop noise, and the amp went into protect mode. Since then, whenever you turn the amp on, the blue light will come on, and then a couple seconds later the sub just goes all the way down (pop noise), and then the amp almost immediately goes into protect mode. It will do this whether the speaker wires are hooked up or not. The local car audio shop told me i blew the amp, but i took the cover off and everything looked fine. anyone know whats going on?

I have to choose between the SAZ-1500d or a Audiopipe AP30001D. I know the build quality is better on the SAZ, but I believe I will get more output from the AP. My electrical is a stock 140 amp alternator in a dodge magnum and a extra battery (NSB90). I need to power a pair of Fi Q15's. Being unbiased, which amp would better suit my setup? I wanted to give the subs 1k watts each... I was used to 150+ because I was running 4 Q15's on an IA40.1, but now I am just going to run two, but want to lose as little output as possible. Oh yeah, the Q's are both dual 1 ohm w/ no extras. Thanks for your assistance.

This testing includes recent results, and not so recent.. woofers used.. 2 Mags (1.9 dcr per coil), 2 FI Q 12's (1.4 dcr per coil) either used 1 sub or both of the pair for loads.. pure 60hz sine was used to tested.. just under audible clipping 1 amp, single 1000ca everstart maxx, factory alt 4 ohm nominal = 518 watts @ 88% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 14.0v) 2 ohm nominal = 948 watts @ 85% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 13.6v) 1 ohm nominal = 1510 watts @ 78% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.…

I'm going to be replacing my HiFonics BXi1606 with one of these amps...I currently have 0/1 guage running from the battery to a fused distro block that has (4) 4ga outputs...the length of the wire running from the fused distro block to the amp is about 12 inches...would it be okay to run 12 inches of 4ga to the power input of this amp?
