Sundown Audio

Hey Jacob. Alex from DBdesigns INC just ordered 2 1500d's from you today out of his shop in Cumming. Just wondering if you have any idea when they were gonna be able to get shipped out! I need them ASAP!

what kind of drop should i be seeing from a pair of strapped 1500's @ 1 ohm for a burp? I'm using a nsb-90 with the car off. it goes from 13.8- low 11's. is this right? i'm going to start and run my car in the morning and see what the drop is!

Just curious about a few things. I will be doing 3 of them in a c pillar wall so i am curious about how far would i need to keep the subs surround away from the back seat? Also how much would it have mattered if i got these d2 ohm and have them wired at 1.35ohm powered by 2 AQ2200 strapped together?

I had my sae1200 for quite some time. Then got an SAZ1500, planned on getting a dc lvl 4xl, but got a great price on a normal lvl 4, so I went with that and sold the SAZ1500 and started using my sae1200 again. I've been trying to set the gains with my dmm, But I've run into a problem. At first I thought it might be the headunit, but I switched headunits and the problem still persists. When I set my gains with the DMM and the subs not connected to the aim, I set it to 30v, which is down slightly from 1000/sqrt 1 All EQ's and bass boosts are set to 0. Headunit volume set to 23/35, sub volume set to 7/15 When I connect the sub, and play a 50 hz tone, I start the hu volume at…

Who has tested how much power these will take? Will they hold ~1500 watts a piece for around 30 seconds

Every message I sent today was rejected by my server... just got all of the errors all at once at the end of the day. Something is up and they seem to think I sent over 100 e-mails in one hour... so until I can figure out what is going on it may take me longer than normal to reply. I can still RECEIVE emails no problem, though, so you can still send me a message... but this problem seems to have made email not work on my Blackberry as well and I have to log into my Hotmail to send any messages... so response time will be up. Sorry guys... working with the hosting company on this.

well yesterday i went down to Andrews, SC to meet with Walt(cookiemonster) to pick up some new sundown goodies. Already had a saz1500 so i picked up 4 sa12's and a saz1000d. Walt gave me class A service. 2 of these are for my truck with the saz1500 and the other 2 go in my wifes honda pilot with the saz1000d....i got the two in my truck yesterday and all i can say is wow...so much better than my re se's

I am wanting to use 2 of these for mid-bass and when I say mid bass i mean 80hz to about 350hz or so what type of enclosure should a try sealed or ported? Thanks, Brock

Ok guys i have a 100.4 and just got some new mids after old ones got replaced at cdt..... I want to know the best way to adjust your amps hpf and lpf? in this case my 100.4 hpf for my 3 way components..... i dont no if the vertical point in between both markings like 55 and 500 are exactly the average of the two. but id like to know how to set these filters fairly accurately... Mike

I am wondering about something I hear alot of people talking about and want to know what it is. What is the big three? I have a Sundown audio 1500.1, to a single 12, sub box tuned to 40 hz. Electrical setup is as follows, for right now at least, stock battery up front. With two runs of 4 guage back to kinetik 800, then to a 3 farad cap, then to fuse block and lastly amp. Ground wire on second battery, and capacitor are 0 guage. I know I need to upgrade to all 0 guage, that is coming. I ran outta money, but I am still running at 12.7 at full tilt. And that is at the amp. I am just looking for more db's anywhere I can get them. Any help is and will be greatly app…

If you are waiting on custom built subs, drop-ins, or e-mail responses there will be some delays until after SBN. We are running around like crazy getting ready and trying to make sure everyone else on the Team is ready. I will be out of town on Friday completely and all weekend. Will do as much as I can on e-mails but expect some delay time.

Jacob or whomever can answer, The dustcap came off one of the E8's my boy is using. What glue should be used to fix it? How long should it dry? As an added note, the box for my boy is finally built. Going to paint it this spring but he is going to use it untill then. It has been hooked up @ 4 ohms for a couple of weeks. We are going to hook it up @ 1 ohm today. I am going to video his first impressions of it.

I am very curious to hear what you have to say about buying this box - https://www.woofersetc.com/p-7421-sqp15spl-ground-shaker-15-single-ported-high-spl-box.aspx It would be going with a Sundown nightshade. The 4.2 cu ft. seem good and the box looks nice to me. I know building one will be a little cheaper but it probably wont come out as nice and would save me the headache of building one myself. But if you recommended that I just build one myself then that's what ill do. I emailed them asking what the tuning is so if its not around 33hz then obviously wont get. Also its not double baffled so idk if it will be strong enough for 2500 watts. Theirs also this http://cgi.eba…

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

Guys, Need some advice on decidng on an amp. I buy audio equipment like once every 5 years so im trying to make an educated decision on this the first time. Ive done my homework to this point so thats why im going with Sundown. Vehicle is a Tundra. I am in the process of making a sealed console-style subwoofer enclosure to house two (2) 12" woofers (more than likely the new 12" SA series when theyre released). Each chamber will likely be 1 ft^3. The electrical is stock right now but am willing to do the big 3 if necessary. I'm trying to decide on which amp would best suit my needs both now and in the future. I know for a fact that I will not be competing (no desir…

Any pics or specs of a prototype yet?Will this have the same crossover section as the 100.4?If it does I will deff purchase one,as the 100.4 is a little too big for my mounting space.

in the sticky where they did a test this is what was read Power supply voltage was 16.5 volts at rest dropping to around 14.5 volts. So consider this a 14.5 volt output rating. Our clamp meter ran out of steam at 400 amps so we measured efficiency at lower levels: 3294 watts @ 84% efficiency (252 amps draw) 3938 watts @ 81% efficiency (316 amps draw) 4424 watts @ 74% efficiency (392 amps draw) here is my question and i want to get a better understanding of this so bear with me for a minute..lol 3294 watts with 252 amps draw..now lets say your running 2 of the 3k watt models which would be 504 amps draw? and if your alt is only a 300 amp alt how does that work? im sure i h…

Hey guys today about 1/4 of my cone let go from the basket.... so how do you fix this? glue? if so what kind a glue should i buy? thanks Kenneth

For those that received their SD-1 v.2s already I am really anxious to hear your thoughts. I spent alot of time of this driver and I would love to hear what you think about them!

Video Caption : Purposely tearing up an E-10 to demonstrate what it takes to do so. We are seeing *clamped* power of 50-100% of the woofers rating with NO BOX for 3-4 minutes straight in order to hurt the woofer. When using an amplifier rated for 400-500 RMS on these woofers in a day to day situation it will be EXTREMELY difficult to damage them. Again... this was intentional abuse -- any person hearing the type of mechanical noises we did in this testing would obviously turn it down =)

Just wondering if anyone has run or seen a SAE-1000D at .5ohms? I'm thinking of doing this but not quite sure yet. any opinions?

does anyone have these? how do they sound? how long do I have before they get discontinued

I use a ~$300 DMM to measure our coils here at the shop... why ? Well I'll show you... * Our Dual-1 coil on a cheap meter. * On our meter - factory spec is 0.84 ohms +/- 12%. This thing is dead on. * Our Dual-2 on a cheap meter. * On our meter - factory spec 1.85 +/- 12%. Again... 12% variance allows up to 2.07 and the meter only reads to the tenths place so it is dead on. So. Keep that in mind when reading your coils on a cheaper meter.

hey jacob i bought 2 sa-8s at seperate times and i just got the second one this week its got a different surround than my first one. the new one has a bigger/ higher surround they are both the bolt down spider version and also on the dust cap the sundown audio written is smaller than the other is it ok to use them together in a common chamber?
