    Hi purchased this sundown 1500d and i am needing a lil help with this amp setup. I need to know the difference btw the bass boost and the gain. I am using a stock hu using a david navone loc. Fist of all can this amp take more then 6 volts input voltage? 2nd how should i adjust the bass boost with the gain? I am not doing it right i only can tune by ear and it seems i keep clipping the amp because when i play a song when it hits a low note on the song it bottoms out on the sub pops ect. i turn it down problem goes away. How should i be adjust the gain/bass boost?

    Sup guys, unfortunately I have to part with my 2nd 3000D....I do not wanna do this, but when your out of a job...stuff's gotta go.... I'm Team Sundown and its open to Team Members that want one.. PM me for a price if your Team SD, and we can get the ball rolling..I'm in a big bind...Credit card bills and internet bills are coming...I know someone wants a 3K...and I know Jacob doesn't quite have them yet.. I appreciate it Jacob for letting me sell it, but I'll be buying another one soon as I can afford it again. Here is a pic of one of them...both have the same graphic.. and due to a retarded....long long long long long story for another day...I don't have original pack…

    I have a Nissan 350Z and I have ordered a 180amp HO alternator from Ohio Gen to go along with a Kinetik HC1400 under the hood. Do you think that'll be sufficient to power one SAZ-1500D (1ohm 1500W), one SAX-100.4 (bridged 320Wx2), and one SAX-100.2 (stereo 100Wx2)? I already have the "Big 3" done as well. I refuse to run Capacitors so please don't even bother suggesting one.

    The 3000Ds are in customs now here on the east coast. If they clear smoothly I may have them tomorrow. If not, I should still get them before the end of the week. Orders will ship ASAP once they come in.

    I just got my refurbed 100.4 and got 3 quick questions. 1. I have existing 8 gauge power and ground that connect to the primary battery less than 3feet from the amp. I would like to run this amplifier initially to power a subwoofer 4ohm off of chan 3/4 and leave chan 1/2 empty. Would this be ok? I would upgrade to 4 gauge when I hook up the front 2 chan. 2. I have a pair of RCA's from my sub out on my HU. Is this going to provide enough signal or does this amp require all 4 rca's to be hooked up. I think they should be ok, but just wanted to ask. 3. On the cross over pots, they are marked as 50hz to 500hz. Is it safe to assume that it if I placed the pot in …

  8. Ok, i've been doing some research about these drivers and my question is: Are these daily woofers? If so what tuning frequency do they like? I am wanting something on the LSQ side but need 2k rms daily powerhandling and low frequency extension ability. I want to tune around 28hz. Does this driver fit the bill? Thanks.

    My Maxx-Link is installed & dialed in as well as my amps and everything is sounding great. Since I had the clamp and dmm in the truck I decided to go ahead and take some measurements. My strapped 1500s put out 90v and 40a while drawing 400a of current with voltage dropping from 13.5v to 12.2v. If my math is right thats 3600watts @ 2.25ohm & 12.2v out of a pair of strapped 1500s. My subs are dual 1s wired in a parallel series configuration. Basically the amps are strapped @ 1ohm (0.5ohm each). All testing was done on music playing Gorilla Zoe - Waddle (nice consistant 34hz bass line that works well with my current 33hz tuning). Measurements were taken 5-6 se…

    Sundown Audio takes three first places: Team Tremorz (1st place)in RX1 and (2nd place)in db5 .We had voltage issues all day which will be resolved by Mooresville NC event AUG 30th. Sundown also takes first place in M3 with one SAZ3000 and two AQ/DD15's can't remember what team the guy was with in M3 . Sundown also takes a first place in SQ can't remember which class I didn't judge the sq side may have been ssa team? Congrats Jacob and keep building them so we can slowly take over the spl world one comp at a time.

    I worked all day yesterday getting my Maxx-Link working properly. I'm 99% positive it was an issue with the outputs on my old head unit. Now I'm trying to get everything fine tuned perfect and there are a lot of adjustments on this thing. My only concern is what to set the ouput of the Maxx-Link to? Its currently set to 5v but can I go higher? Will the 1500s take the full 9v output? I checked the owner's manual but didn't see it listed. Also since I'm not using the br output to strap the amps, do I still need to gain match them? How does that work? I'm used to only setting one amp and now its like I have to set both amps and the Maxx-Link which is driving me cra…

    As the title says, do the new SAX-100.2's have the new heatsink on them yet? I'm wondering because I already have a SAZ-1500D and a SAX-100.4 with the new heatsink and would like a matching SAX-100.2 to go with them.
