Sundown Audio

  1. Started by trunks9_us,

    Ok this is so confusing to me i am confusing myself. So plz hear me out. First of all I am using 2 of these sub http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/CAR/Boxes%20...12GTi_rev_f.pdf Together wired in parallel they make a 1.5 ohm load which what i been told on here thats really 2ohms or a 2ohm amp for max power would be best suited. (parallel/parallel) = 1.5 ohm load Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in parallel Right now I have a sundown 1500d which is 800rms at 2 ohms. I want to buy another 1500d and strap it. My confusion is right here since the sundown does 1500rms at 1 ohm and i decided to strap it what will my final ohm load be. I am hoping that if i strap this a…

    * Box is three layers thick on the front for amp mounting - but we are still trying to find another place to mount the amps. * Huge port! * Brandon's trophies from the show, and our lucky extra dBeez! * Damage to the roof from demoing at the show * Another view The deadener is also ripped all around the edges of the perimeter of the roof... little pieces were falling down all day!

    I just got my car back from my installer today and I must say these Sundown's run super hot. After maybe an hour of playing time I almost burned my hand touching the top of the amps. I have one SAX-100.2, one SAX-100.4, and one SAZ-1500D and all three of them were equally hot. Also the SAX-100.4 shut off at one point probably due to the heat while the other two amps continued to play. Does anyone else have this problem? I think my installer is going to have to install a fan to blow some air on these things but I'm not sure it's going to help as it'll just be cycling hot air. For an SQ install they sound good, I just hope heat doesn't spoil the fun for me.

    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

    I'm in the process of acquiring the rest of my system and basically the last thing I have to add is my sub amp and sub. I think I've settled on an ID Max 12 D2. I'm wondering what kind of drain running the SAE 1000D will put on my stock charging system at 1ohm. Also, I'd imagine this would be plenty amp to run an ID Max? It should have plenty of oomph if I planed on having the ID Max in a sealed enclosure in the trunk of my '03 Mazda 6. I have an Alpine MRV-1507 class A/B for my front stage. It's a bit of a current hog when bridged but when running mono it doesn't seem to drain the charging system nearly as bad. So... will running a SAE 1000D at 1 ohm onto an ID Max…

    Okay I am buying my Christmas present a little early. I have a 1997 Toyota Camry. I use a Pioneer DVD H/U and I have 1/0 ga. KnuKonceptz wiring and I am looking at running the Sundown Audio SAZ-3000D on (2) 12" Fi Audio BL's with the cooling option. This will be a daily driver and I want to hunt down a JL Audio guy, will this do the trick? I listen to just about anything but I still have my DJ Magic Mike and Techmaster PEB CD's. I do have an additional battery in the trunk and upgrading the alternator won't be a problem. Please help!

    * 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
