Sundown Audio

Okay, so I finally was able to buy some Sundown product!!! Well I bought an SD2-10 and a Sundown SAX100.4. I read on the forums that the recommended box size was .5 cu ft sealed. Upon installing I had my Dad build the box and he told me that with sealed bigger is better. I believe the dimensions of the box are as follows... Top Width - 18" Bottom Width - 23" Depth - 9.5" Height - 13" Now granted these are external dimensions and we used .75" MDF... I'm just curious is this box too big for the sub? I have the sub wired to a 4ohm load on the rear channels of the 100.4. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Currently have a Sa-8V2 in a 1.2^3 ported enclosure powered off a AQ1200D at 2 ohms(~850RMS).. I would like some more trunk space in my 2014 WRX hatchback and was wondering how these subs sounded like sealed? Or is it even a good idea at all?

Well, after a couple of weeks of installing 4 of the new Nightshade 15 V.2's I've finally caused a little damage to my truck. Demoing last night on music my windshield came loose at the top of the cab. Everyone was saying my moulding was flopping around and when I poked my head out the side the window, they were right, I was losing air big time from the separation. The bad thing is today is the show and last night I was only at at half knob on the LC-1, I burp at full input signal on the LC-1. Needless to say, gotta go silicone and duct tape the windshield down this morning and since I have to replace it anyway, my goal is to break it on out today during my street beat ru…

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?

so i see the nightshade is rated for 1500wrms, now seriously what would a nightshade do with 1500wrms would it acutally be enough power for one? im asking cause i only have 1400wrms and was looking at the dc lv4 but if the nightshade only needs 1500wrms i might consider one.

I would like to use a AC voltmeter to set the gain on my SAZ-3500D. Can I get the voltage just before clipping at a 1 ohm load?

But jus not sure what to set my dmm on to actually measure the voltage from the amp.. I can take pics of the dmm if that would help..

Watsup fellas, so I got a new Sundown SA12D4 after I blew my other one and I got some questions in regards to setting gains to prevent this from happening again. So my setup consist of a single sundown SA12d4 in a ported box 1.75 cubes tuned at 35hz, wired at 2ohm to an Alpine MRX-M110 (rated 1100rms @ 2ohms), and Kinetic HC2000 w/ knuconceptz 4g kit. So i set my gains with a DMM using the equation squareroot(rms×ohm impedance). Since my amp is more powerful I downgained and used the rms rating for the sub instead of the amp in the equation which gave me squareroot(600×2ohm)=34.64voltage. What I'am wondering is if id be able to raise the gain past that to perhaps squa…

so my 2-SAZ2000's will be hidden under my sub box as soon in this pic here: . so as you can see i will have no access to my gains to fine adjust them! so then i thought well if i max them out AND plug in the remote gain knob and follow my ears for clipping and bottoming out and such, all the while using the gain knob now will this work? did i over or under think this? did i miss something? like is it bad to turn up the gains all the way then use the remote to turn them down(control them) i assume what i want to do will work but i just wnat to double check b/c once everything is in lol i don't want to take it out just move the gains an 1/8 of an inch down or up if you k…

i have an osciliscope that my dad is letting me use, i want to see my wave forms to make sure i am not getting any square waves to make sure i am not clipping.. everytime i set it up once i turn the volume up its makes a pop noise from the speakers and doesnt read nothing.. how i hooked it up: sub was hooked up on all the tries 1st hooked up to pos(+) and neg(-) on the amp sub out 2nd try hooked up just the pos(+) on the amp sub out 3rd try hooked up pos to the pos(+) on the amp, and neg (-) to chassis ground all got the same result only showed a wave form at low volume in voltage mode cant find out how to get to hz screen shows +14v to -14v my guess was that the outp…

This will be a brief step by step break down on how to set your gain on your Sundown amplifier if your radio has a 6v or higher output, as multiple radios do these days. Step 1: Turn gain on amplifier to minimum. Done. .......... I was thinking it over the other night, and I remembered my SAZ-2000's gain had a "minimum" setting of 6v. I knew my radio did 8v output through the RCA's. So today I went and turned my gain all the way down and turned my sub level up on the radio, and sure enough it was just as loud but has an overall cleaner output, also what seemed to be more output, and more punch then before. But this aroused another question, if the "gain knob" that plug…

The guy in this thread basically had the same questions as I. I thought about bumping it, but it might suit me best to have my own thread. If I want my High Pass crossover point to be at 3.5khz @24db slope, then playing a tone at 3.5KHZ should be half the wattage of what frequency? Should I expect full wattage at 4khz?

I have only used Kicker amps up til now in which I have 2 1500's and the setting are a little confusing to me. Can someone please explain them and what I should have the LPF, Subsonic, and Phase? Thanks Chris Hasbrook

I've had my dealers asking me for years for a shallow component set so I started on one... here are some sneak peeks of the first sample set. We are testing them in Nick's car since he is a big SQ guy They are VERY shallow and will fit in any application I can imagine. For a driver this shallow excursion is not bad; obviously not a super high throw driver but crossover over steeply at 80 Hz will do nicely. So far we've tested the mid and we are very pleased for the depth and cost... Overall set price would be under $200 from an authorized dealer.

Merry Christmas to me, Thanks Jacob she's beautiful cant wait to get her up and running.

thinking about ordering the sundown 2000d, but is it free shipping?

I bought a set of Sundown Audio Z-15's around december, sadly i never got them hooked up and now im movin out and i need the extra cash so i gotta sell em. Heres where my problem comes in. I need to ship these subs in order to sell them because the people intrested in them are out of state, one being in Oklahoma and they want around $250.00 to ship them. The price seems ridiculous to me. Does anybody know who will ship them from residence to residence for cheap? Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

How long is shipping? Is it the standard three to five business days?

I've mainly been updating on Facebook but we have been heavily involved in moving our location about 20 minutes down the road to Claremont, NC to a much larger facility for most of July. We now have functional shipping, testing, and build room areas at the new location plus a few office guys have transferred over as well. It has been a bit of a long process but it's coming along nicely. I have not yet moved my office or Debbie and the accounting / invoicing systems so it's been a bit inefficient as the data has to be transferred to the new location to ship (aside from Yard Sale) -- but the goal is to move all this by Monday and have everyone working in the same location…

I ran into wat i think is a big problem today. here is wat my system consists of: one 15" audiopulse sub on a Sundown 3000D, and an Alpine PDX-5 with goldwood speakers I was drivin down the road, took a sharp turn and all the sudden my sub made a very loud thump sound and then the amp shut off. So i turned everythin off until i got where i was goin and checked it out. I popped the trunk to check my circuit breaker and it was still closed. then i noticed one of the batteries in my trunk had moved. What im pretty sure happened was when i took the turn, the batt tilted and the terminal on the negative post hit both the pos and neg bolts attatching my speaker wire to the sub …

Alright guys need some help here, since my car is in the shop and there working on the front im allowed to work with the stereo. Now i have 1 run of o gauge power wire from my front bat to the back to bats and i ahve a 200 amp alt should i add another run or two or is one run fine? just kinda wondering and i got 0 gauge jsut sitting aorund i need to use lol

got a stock alt still, it's a 92' camry wagon (dont know what the amps are with that) and (2) 3500d's and (2) 3100's....should I get a volt meter just to be on the safe side....Im not sure how long I should play the system with just a stock alt?

I have a 98 s10 ext and can't decide whether to go with 1 icon or 2 SSA's I want deep and loud bass. Any suggestions? And any good Amps under 350$ that you can think of? Thanks

I'm planning on buying a 15'' DC lvl 4 sub (1000 rms, though underrated) Not sure if I want to have it ported or sealed yet. Its a daily driver, No competitions or anything like that. I have an SAE 1200d and an SAZ1500 Which one do you guys think I should use to power my sub? I don't plan to upgrade from this, and I will never strap on another amp. I have a pretty weak electrical so If one is more efficient than the other please let me know. Is the SAZ worth the extra money for my application? I'm going to be selling the one I decide not to use.
