Sundown Audio

It not a big deal, but lately when i turn my remote knob for my amp down, it makes the sub pop a few times.. Is this an indication the knob is bad and i should buy a new one? Mike

This was me when i hooked up and started messin around Very nice amp! i got it wired to 1/2 ohm and it *sounds* so much louder then when i had the 2 1500's on em. Can't wait to get this on the mic! Thanks Jacob!

Sundown SA-12 Review - DIY Mobile Audio "I have had this sub for a few days now and am finally getting a chance to really give it a good listening to, mainly on my commute to and from work and this evening i finally had some time to just sit in the car and play some random tracks. The car is a 2008 Scion xB, the sub is in the rear cargo area in a 2cu ft ported enclosure tuned to 29hz (I will be updating my build thread with that info as well) Sub is on the drivers side facing the hatch port is on the passenger side facing the wall which was recommended to me and works VERY well. Build quality is outstanding, great fit and finish on all parts. Nice thick paper cone, stiff …

First of all, please forgive my posting in this section, but I want to hear from Sundown guys why the product is better then the other two I am thinking of, instead of "it just is". A little on my background, I was pretty into car audio back around 1996-2001, but have been out of it since then. A LOT of things have changed since. I ran a Xtant X1001 and X604 in my last car for reference. In any case, I am looking to put together a pretty simple system now for personal use, no shows or competitions. The amps I am really considering are: Sundown SAZ1500D (used by Sundown guys, but with warranty) Hifonics Brutus BXI2608D Lanzar OptiDrive 2000D I will be running in a '0…

Hey i was just trying to find the specs for the Z v.3 12" sub. i was looking around the store and web and wasn't able to really find any specs, like sensitivity Etc.... i was just was wondering what it was. Im really thinking of getting this or the nightshade for my next sub. ok thanks for the help

Right now I have 2 BL 18's D2 running off 2 strapped 1500ds with final load of 2 ohm. If I ran 3 D2's what would amp put out and would it be stable for daily? Or should I buy another 1500d, and just run 1 to each sub

What kind of power does the 100.4 make per channel at 8 ohms?

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?

If I have two 1-Ohm 12" FI SSD's with the VC wired in series, and the speakers wired parallel making it 1-ohm. If they are hooked into a Sundown SAZ-1000d does that give the both of them 1000 watts (approx) a piece or do they both share the wealth and get 500 watts (approx) each?? In the same aspects of things, if there individually wired with the VC's wired series = 2 ohms, if the amp puts out 600 watts @ 2-ohms, does that mean there getting (approx) 300 watts a piece?? I'm being held by pirates and this is the only thing that will set me free.

The ssa store lists the sa-12 requiring 1week build time, so if I order 2 in the next couple weeks I won't have to wait a few months for them? Only reason I ask is I saw several other sundown resellers showing them out of stock and what not. Thanks

Somewhere I saw a post or an article, I think by Jacob, that was telling about Sundown amps having issues with certian RCAs and working better with some... Can someone direct me to this article or info??? I did try the "Search" button, but got no love....

My 1st video, I hope you guys enjoy it! http://s285.photobucket.com/albums/ll74/an...UDIOSUNDOWN.flv

Jacob recommend I throw 2 12 SA D4's in my 3 series BMW, and I am going to place the order, but what should i use to power them? Should i just get 1 amp (1500) or get two 1000's. The amp is going to be a sundown model so that's what we are working with.

wierd ? i have a saz 1500d and was wondering, if i smell a woofer going up in smoke should i be shutting it down to prevent dmg to my amps ? or am i ok to just let it go up in smoke and push it harder untill it goes all the way . i know about the protection built into the amps but that doesn't allways mean that i'd be ok. if it is considered ok to smoke subs without dammaging the amp, could you safely burn sub after sub after sub and still be ok. would love to here jakes take on this too. i would never even consider this with any other amp, but these sundown amps are soooo darn tough that it dawned on me it might be posible. how about you guys at comps, when you blow sub…

just wondering if i could beef up a paper cone with some resin on my ten's? can someone tell me how they did it? front or back?

question 1: can this sub (12" version) take a 3000d at .5 ohm for burps? question 2: is a nsb90, powermaster d3100, and a 200amp irragi alt enough to burp the 3000d at .5 ohm?...agian, burps only...for daily driving i will wire it up to 2 ohms, but its gonna be at .5ohm for burps... thanks!

So, I got my second 1000D in today. I took it straight to the truck. Hooked it up, I had them ran strapped at 2 ohm. The woofers are D2's, which were ran in parallel in the box then ran in series out side the box, bringing the total to 2 ohm. I only use the left side of the speaker connectors next to the 8awg. It worked fine, sounded good, was loud and voltage was fine. I THEN, tried to re-wire the subs. I wired them in series in the box, so each woofer went up to 4ohm, I then ran each one to the amps. I thought that it would end up bringing the ohm load to 2 ohm, so each amp would see 1ohm. When ran like this, they weren't as loud and voltage DROPPED. Horribly I wired …

in peoples opinion which sub will sound better for spl. both will be in ported box built to specs, powered via 3500d?

Do you guys offer a custom finish that won't sacrifice thermal dissipation capabilities? In particular, I'm looking for blue.

The Dual-2 SA-12s will be in stock shortly... likely within 7-14 days -- along with the second shipment of the Dual-4 version. I've had alot of people anxiously awaiting the Dual-2 version so I thought I would let everyone know

Hi everyone, I just picked up an E8 subwoofer and I want to build a ported box for it, just a basic rectangular design with a slot port. The specs call for a .60 ft^3 tuned to 30 Hz, but when I use my vent calculator, the port length is very long (100", using a port of 10.5" tall by 2" wide). My box can't be bigger than 30"W x 12"H x 12"D because of space limitations. Would I be able to make a good sounding box for the sub that won't exceed my max dimensions? Any suggestions? I was wondering what kind of specs (actual box size, net ft^3, tuning, etc.) are you single E8 users running? This will be my daily sub, so I'm looking for SQ, but still want it to wang for a si…

Hey jacob, i was just wondering if u had got my email, i've been having problems with yahoo lately and havnt had a reply from ya since friday. I know ur busy but i was just wondering if u had gotten them, bc if not i gotta get a new email provider lol. so just hit me back whenever u get a chance. thanx.

Hey, i would be glad to get some Suggestions from you Guys I wanna Build a Box for the 2 18s i gonna buy from Tye, they will be running off 2 3000Ds the Box should be good for Daily groundpounding but my goal is the 150. What kinda Airspace, Port Area and Port length would you guys suggest me? This is what my Trunk looks like (not my car) i got the dimensions from the back part of the trunk, but since fitting Port and Subs at the Top will be kind of hard (damn domes) i thought about doing something like a mini wall with subs and port behind the frontseats facing forward what you guys think?

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?
