    I have had my 3500D installed for a while now and its great however when I really crank it up full tilt on music after maybe 20 mins. it will sometimes go into protect. I had a 300 amp circuit breaker hooked up next to it up until today when I switched it out for a 300 amp ANL fuse. I had a problem with the circuit breaker tripping when turned to full tilt also, I think due to extreme vibrations. After replacing the circuit breaker I found it still went into protect once today. I have 2 165ah batteries next to the 3500D and a optima yellowtop under the hood, but I'm still running the factory alternator which I plan to upgrade soon. I have a digital gauge mounted on the da…

    Hey guys, I am sold out of new 3500s... and as of today all of the used ones are sold out. People that are *already* talking to me about them are good to go -- I am counting those as sold. If you would like to pre-order one from our next production run of new amps feel free to hit me up. Otherwise there are none available at the moment.

    These are the results we got from my testing today at Modified Nationals in the UK - the first 2010 db drag event in the UK. Single SAZ-4500d amp 0.35 DCR. All results true RMS. Deck Volume started 12 - went to 41 of 47 - still clean sine at this point. 77.9 AC Volts 57.2 AC Amps 13.2 battery volts before starting 11.50min voltage over burp. 77.9 * 57.2 = 4455 watts RMS @ 1.36 ohms impedance. Subs were 2 x DC Audio 4XL SPL Motor 18's D1.4 coils all in parrallel. 158.3 db achived at 66hz!!! Well impressed with the amps - need to try some D1.0 recones now to see what difference we get loading the amp down more.

    So I am looking to pick up my first monster amp and I'm between these two, cause I'm afraid they are going to stop making them. I am aware of the fact that the ns1 has had some problems in the past (mechanically, and shipping related) and that the ns1 is more oriented towards competition use. The SAZ-5000 I haven't heard a whole lot positive or negative or any feedback really at all. Besides the input voltage differences that the ns1 has and it's power difference, what are some differences between the two.

    going to be running the 100.2 or 125.2 on my 2 sets of PG rsd 6.5" components, so i wanted a matching sub amp. so i figured the saz1000d would be a nice match, nearly the same length in size, etc. so, how many subs should i run off this 1000d, where each sub wont be getting too much power for a daily setup? its for the back of the dakota, its a single cab, so not alot of room at all, thats why im thinking about going sealed, and jacob said they do good in about 0.2 cubes each.

    I have a Saz1500v.2 that I bought here off SSA less than a year ago. Well last night I noticed my sub just quit playing. After looking at it the red "protection" light is on and it just stays that way. Weird thing is I was actually listening to music on a normal mid level, gain remote knob all the way down and purposely trying to not really hear the sub because I was listening to a rock song trying to adjust my mids. Then when I went to add the sub back in it just wasnt there. I thought the knob was broke but I guess not. Amp was cold to the touch when it stopped working. What can I do from here. Thanks

    Does the saz1500 have a signal output, so you could run rcas from it to another amp? I'm thinking about getting a smaller amp for mids and highs and wanted to know if I would have to run another set of rcas from deck? Or if the saz could output it. Thanks

    a couple days ago my amp went into protect without warning and now it wont come out. i got a hold of jacob already and he said if i cant figure out how to get it out of protect then to send it in. i have double checked all my connections and they are good. i even checked my subs to see if they were blown and causing a short or something but they are fine. im running 0 gauge power wire and big3 and have the amp powering a pair of eclipse aluminums wired to a 1 ohm load. is there anything else i can do to test before i send it in? thanks chris

I was going to get a second sundown for my second axis. but recently testing the power and impedence rise charts with my wt3 woofer tester, i found that my impedence rise is going up to 3 with the single axis. so ive only gotten about 2000watts with lots of clipping. After i noticed that i put both axis's in a sealed box with them wired down to .5 ohms. i clamped it today and took an impedence curve and its raising to about 1.1 ohms now. i got about 2300 watts before my voltage dropped too low where i didnt want go continue, and no one was here to rev the engine. So this brings my questi…
