Sundown Audio

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

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:

well, i ordered both my amps earlier this week, and sundown has very fast shipping. Hopefully will have everything hooked up in couple weeks, it will be hard to wait, but i will be working 7 days a week for at least 2 weeks. Pics and new cd player came in also today:

here are some pics of the event i couldnt take part since i killed the solo x while testing, because one amp gone in protection while burping a 148, maybe 2 optimas arent enough to run strapped 3ks at 0,5ohm each? waiting for the spair and gonna try it again with better batteries. it was one of the biggest car audio events in germany over 200 competitors in db drag, db cup, bass race, spl classics and AYA many broken world records in cup and drag

Well I got a trophy for loudest at the show! Contest was your 30 second average score on music (if that makes sense). I did a 145 flat average 30 seconds. I burped a 148 at 46hz. But that was after beating them ALL DAY long. System consisted of 2 Sundown 1500ds. 2 15" Fully loaded Fi Bl's wired to 1ohm each

so i just purchased one of the two remaining old heatsink saz-1500d refurbs from chris @ db-r. the shopping experience was great and the price was too good to pass up. i guess im a sundown fan now the hard part is going to be containing my excitement while it gets shipped here to calif.

what is the difference on the new heatsink models of the 1500d's and how does it make it better or was it done cause im considering which one to get and i cant seem to find one on db-r that is a new heatsink and am wondering if its worth the wait to get the new heatsink or if the oldones are just as good

I have 2 10's that handle 8000 rms burps a peice and need major powwer for burping only and i dont have much room the 1500d's wqill fit perfect I have 5 batteries and a 160 amp altternator i will be running these amps at this ohm load for competing only then return them too 2 ohms strapped for daily use i know it will void my warranty but can these amps do it

well, i got on here for bout the last year, and decided i wanted to get back into some stereo's. Anyway last week i ordered a 12" BL with options, and decided to go ahead and get my amps too. So, I just ordered a saz-1500D and a SAX-100.4. I am anxious to get all hooked up, I have always bought stuff locally or a few things from woofersetc.com. So, pretty excited to try something besides kicker, alpine, mtx, crossfire, jl, or rockford. Thats bout all there is here. Will post pics when i get them. Thanks sundown, again

Vaperz Southern Slam was a blast!! Here are the numbers the Team put up at the show. Only 2 of us went the other went to HOT IMPORT NIGHT'S the night before. I was demoing the truck and lost 4 sub's. That still didn't stop me from showing. So here's the numbers.. ROBERT WYATT ModeX + 1st place SQ SQ Phat Truck SQ Phat Install SPL-- Radical X2- 1st place 150.6 Drive-by --- Db5- 1st place 125.5 Most Improved SPL Best of Show Drive-By Best of Show Over All Best of Best of Show TODD MAYTON SPL--AS3 1st place 145.5 Drive-by--Db3-1st place 121.0 second highest score of the day SPL Phat Install All in all the Show was fun even with GIRL'S in the BIKIN…

have a set of dual 2ohm subs. that i will later switch out to a single set up. my question is how safe could run a saz1500 at .5 ohms on them until i switch over ? or should i just wire them to 2ohms and put up with less power. to be safe.

Went to our local TBP event here in Fort Worth(other side of world for me)....100 mile round trip... Threw in 1 of my Sundown Audio 3000D's with all 3 DEKA 9A31's and 2 12" JBL Power Series subwoofers in a 34Hz box with a final impedance of 2 ohm at the amplfier...Decided I wanted to burp them....so I pulled up in the lanes....and burped a 147.0 and a 147.3 which was barely enough to scrape out 1st place....2nd place did a 147.1... I was pretty happy for what I was running and how I had it set-up, it did higher than I predicted.... I'm going to fiberglass this enclosure, and cut the port to about 45Hz, and burp me a 150+.... It's going to be something to see.. One of my…

are you going to do another sale like that on the saz1500d ?

I would like to know exactly what it takes on voltage wise and battery wise to run my 3000ds at .5ohm daily to my 2 15" BTL's. Or what would be the best way for me to go to get excellent power from them 3000's. Any input would be great, strapping or wiring to .5ohm since when you factor in imp rise and all that. Thanks everyone

I have dual 1ohm subs...was looking to do 2-3000Ds strapped @ 1ohm but was told that I would benefit more from 4-1500s. Im still undecided if I want to go with a Atomic 7K or get 4 refurbished 1500Ds. What kinda power do u think Id get out of 4 with a 250amp alt, 2 runs of 2/0 welding cable, 1 Deka 9A78DT up front and 3-9A31s in the rear? Do u think Id get more out of the Atomic or 4 1500s, both are around the same price....(I know this is a Sundown thread but please be honest)

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.

For the 2 18" mts in the mini.. Main problem is electrical. Not sure on it yet.. I'm most likely going to get one 3000d first (due to money) so I can run it @ .5 to both subs. Then if I feel the need, I can get another, and switch it up to both amps strapped @ 2 ohms for both subs. Subs are dual 2. What do you guys think? Mids and highs amp will also consist of two 100.2s, and one 100.4.

Hello Jacob and all of the Sundown community, Very new here, and thanks for having me. There seems to be an ambient thermal issue and was looking for some advice. I have my 1500d mounted on the back fold-down seat in a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE1. The problem is, the temperatures here are peaking @ triple digits here lately, and average temps are around 98F-99F. Well, when I get in the car (usually around noon, lunch break), the amp is already hot, I cant leave my hand on it more than about 5-10 seconds. This is because I leave my seat folded down and the direct sunlight is shinning on the amp, however, if I have the seats folded up, and let it down when I take my lunch br…

Just wanted to say thanks to Jacob for this B Stock 15" Nightshade. Came in about 1 day, and UPS managed to get it here in one piece(which isnt always the case). Its def one of the larger drivers i have seen 1st hand. It'll be going in a box slightly under 4cuft tuned to 40hz for spl off a SAZ 1500D. Ill follow up with a review in the following days. Here are a couple pics i took right out of the box. Again thanks Jacob.

Ok I am wandering will a 1500d at 1.5 ohms will put out? I have a 100 amp denso alternator hair pin design i have heard there amps is higher then what they rate them. I have a group 35 battery i think it is 450 cca and i wil be using a 1500d on 2 jbl gti's 12's running 1.5 ohm load. My question is will my electrical hold up or will i need a new battery? I plan on getting a kinetik in the future when i get the money it is a brand new 2009 corolla so all i am really worried about is battery power which i can always turn down the sub bass but will i have to or will the electrical system hold up? I am using Kolossus Fleks 4 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit and I wish i would…

I am nearly finished building my amp rack but recently read quite a few things about amps getting hot and going into thermal protection and got me thinking. I know there is very little airflow if any over my amps due to how my amp rack is setup and the amps being right behind the back seat. Has anyone added fans to their amps to try and keep them cool, any tips on how to go about doing this? I was wondering about maybe removing the bottom cover and just aiming a fan like a 80mm or 120mm computer case fan at the innards of the amp, or maybe machining the bottom cover to hold an exhaust fan inside the amp. I figured I could wire them up with a relay off the remote turn on l…

I have 2 1500d that I got from Dbr and 2 Fi Q15. My HU has a 3 preout which is for front, rear and sub. Each 1500d will power a single Q15 and I connect both amp with RCA. Let say RCA from HU connect to amp A and another RCA connect from BR out of amp A to input to amp B. Is this the right way to do it? Now when I scoped amp A it shows 40.4V with gains set at 3/4 of unclipped signal. Now when I scopped amp B with max gains I only got like 32V and it does not clip. So I decided to swap the RCA from HU to amp B. I got 41.5V with gains set at 3/4 of unclipped signal. But when I scopped amp A it has the same problem. Got 31V from it unclipped with max gains. Does anyone ha…
