Sundown Audio

yea I was wondering how I can get my hands on a 18 inch Nightshade??? Or even custom 12 or 15s..??? Thanks in advance guys

This is my first post to the forum, so be gentle :-) I'm planning a new system for my 97 Maxima SE. The last system I put together was about 18 years ago so the current crop of equipment is very new to me. I think I've made up my mind on 2 FI Q15's in sealed enclosures w/2 cuft each. Now I need to make up my mind on amplifiers. I've been reading a lot of good things about the Sundown amplifiers and I would like to get some honest opinions. This system will be in my daily driver. I'm into SQ so even though I like to play my music (rock) loud, it has to sound clean and crisp. I want to be able to drive the subs hard and still have headroom so I don't get any clipping. …

Hey, Just wondering if I should look into getting another 1200 or 2 1500's in the future or a 3000 lol... I wanna hook up a 1200 to each BL but I was thinking what If I wanted a single BTL or Nightshade in the future 1200's can't be strapped... or shouldI just wait and cross that bridge when I get to it. Thx Josh

Ran a box design through WinISD and wanted some input. This is for 4 E8 8inch subs. It is a three chambered enclosure, each outside enclosure is 1 cubic foot tuned to 70 hertz. The inside enclosure is 2 cubic feet and is tuned to 40 hertz. The woofers will be mounted magnet end in the 1 cubic foot side two woofers per the 1 cubic foot side firing into the 2 cubic foot portion. This is for my kid who listens to mostly rap. Powering this will be a SAE1000d. A subsonic filter will be used to keep over excursion down. The graph on WinISD looks impressive in an open air environment. Any reason to not utilise this box design?

Would there be anything wrong with running the 3000 at .5ohms DAILY? Thanks,

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.....

okay i have some questions about the output, with a 1ohm load + box rise (lets say 1.5ohms) with the proper electrical would i see 3000+ watts without clipping?

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?

whats up yall

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

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

* E8 and Eminece Pro-Sound 8 in the door * Selenium PA tweeter down in kick panel Still under construction but they are LOUD

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.

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

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…

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

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 …

* 2 3/16" mounting depth - 2.1875" * Compact neo cup motor * Shallow paper cone with inverted rubber surround * Very compact basket ----- This driver has a full 8mm one-way linear excursion in a 2 3/16" deep package. Still in prototype phase... may add even more extensive shorting rings to the motor for production, pending listening tests in a vehicle. Not a fancy "looking" driver - all business in the shallowest package possible. Un-matched for linear excursion in this depth as far as I am aware. Oh yah - no ETA here guys, still in testing phases - and no, I don't have any prototypes to sell and I am not sending this one around

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 ?

New Warranty policy stipulations effective as of 10-2-2008 within the USA: 1) If your amplifier has a blown power supply or damage from excessive vibration there will be a charge for a warranty replacement within the 2-year policy: * SAZ-1500D and smaller amplifiers (or any future model under 2000 watts) - $30 in the continental USA (AK and HI add $15) * SAZ-2000D and SAZ-3000D (or any future model 2000 - 3000 watts) - $50 in the continental USA (AK and HI add $20) 2) If there is no obvious sign of either of the above the warranty replacement within the 2-year policy will remain a free replacement. 3) For either free replacement or flat-rate charge replacement the amplifi…

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…

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?

If i were to use 4 or more sundown 3000's, does the BR out work for daisy chaining multiple amps together, or is it only for strapping 2 amps together?
