Sundown Audio

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.

im looking to redo my set up. want to go with all sundown amps this time. will eventually go active or use the 3/4 chanels fo mid bass. after i buy my saz1500 & subs but until then can i use my 1/2 chns to run my comps passive and bridge 3/4 at 2 ohms on a small sub? or does it have to be at 4ohm? and what type of output can i get out of the bridged chns at each ohm load. i going to order the new heatsink model by the way.

I just bought me a SAZ3000D and getting an odd 'problem' with it... everytime i turn if off, i have to wait around 2mins before i can turn it back on.. if i turn it on too soon, the protection mode keeps kicking in.. is this normal??

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've had this amp for about a month now and yesterday as I was driving around I lost power to the front speakers. I thought nothing of it just thinking that the power wire may have slipped out. So when I got home I checked and the power wire is in, all the fuses are fine and there is power flowing through the power wire. The remote wire is also in and has power flowing through it. The amp does not turn on or go into protect. Not sure what else this could be.

are the heat sinks grounded on sundown amps ? i would figure so but just checking. does anyone ground the case of thier amp?

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?

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 …

I am new to the forum, and I am very interested in the sundown amps. I have 3 RE SX D2 10 inch subs that I need power for. Which Sundown would work the best to power these subs? They take 1K rms each. Don't know if I should go with 1 1500d or 2 or....? These are not going to be used for competition, just daily driving. Thanks.

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.

Ok, You NEED to Get Ahold of the Wire thats Inside of the SAZ3000D's.... It has Cursive writing on it, and It's Obviously TOP-NOTCH Wire! I Need Like 200ft Of it in 1/0!

what ohm load is it safe to burp (2) SAZ3000D's strapped w/ a Maxxlink? Right now, resting load is .8ohms - we have (6) 16V batteries that rest @ 17.4 and are @ 20.8 when fully charged. Would the amps go into protection? Thanks...

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…

Got my new toy in today....pictures dont do this thing any justice..at all... Insanley massive......Makes me want to order another one.. I got gain and bass boost at 1/4 and its slamming already....I can not wait to turn it up and see what it really does..but at 14/35 on the volume...the lows are crazy..... Gonna break it in for a few weeks at low volumes though.... Powered by 1 of my SAZ 3K's and 3 DEKA's..... Thanks for a bad ass sub Jacob.....was packaged great to...arrived here in top notch shape. Will post more pics in a short while...as well as a video...

Is the warranty transferable on SAZ1500D's?

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 decided to go with 2 sets of CDT components. If i decide to run them active, can i run all 4 tweeters off channels 1 and 2, then run all 4 mids off channels 3 and 4? This should be 2 ohms all channels? thanks

Just bought a brand new sax100.2 and got it in the mail today and let me just say the sundown pwns my 2008 model RF 400.2 I had in there. the output is better and the sound is "cleaner" if that makes any sense. VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT JACOB! Im scared to see what my new 3000D's are gonna do to this truck

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.

Got them in the mail yesterday and figured Id share over here as well! Jacob, you do an amazing job at packaging, it took me like 25 minutes to unwrap all 12 boxes lol Im on the "paid for" list waiting for my (2) 3000d's to get here and we will be in business. well except I dont have the batts yet (if anyone wants to sell 2 big batteries lmk) Pics:

Still need to clean it up, wash it, and get all the saw dust and crap off everything so it looks better. Pretty dirty right now though. Not finished though. Going to have more highs inside the cabin when I get money (obviously), glassed doors, glassed center console, and some extra stuff on the amprack like more speakers and some logos on the black thing. Its not anywhere near "finished", but its all playing, and it looks pretty good now. As said, still need to put the line driver in and hook up my alternator. Will make a huge difference since right now the batteries sit at like 12v and the voltage drops so low that the amps shut off. Havent gotten the subs even close to …

it was time for the MTs to go now time for the new <<<<<<NIGHTSHADES A big thanks to Jacob & Brandon for coming through ....

Of course... Took the stupid JBL's out again since I'm still waiting patiently on my 18" and had a fun time today.....Did a 147.3 last weekend with them @ 2 ohm...decided to resin the box and drop it to 0.5ohm to see what she'd do....Heres the results.. Went to a show out in Frisco Texas with the car...took 1st place in my class and High SPL of the show....a ton of SQ cars there...A few guys were doing 149.2's and 148.9's.....I ousted them...with Sundown Power... 1 SAZ 3000D 2 12" JBL's Power Series in the back seat.. 3 DEKA 9A31's Gain - 0 Bass Boost - 0 A few pics... The set-up... The Score... The ownage.... 1st place and high SPL...

Well I changed my mind again on subs Ended up with 2 Sundown Nightshade 15's. Got them today and started the box and new midgate. I swear the pictures do no justice for the subs, they are huge. I am sure everyone has seen pics but here are some more. Buddy of mine had to hold the subs cause they seem to want to stand up on their own. Now my fiberglass midgate is a little more time consuming than I thought but here is the progress. Here is how I plan on attaching the midgate to the box. Box shown with bottom not attached, midgate is also second baffle. I attached the two boards to the fiberglass midgate. using drywall screws with rubber washers.

Are there going to be more? I have my son convinced that 4 of them and a SAE1000 is the way to go.
