Sundown Audio

So I hooked up my 100.4. I'm running 4 10 inch RE re's. I ran the subout rcas to the channels 1 and 2 and then ran 3 and 4 off the line outs. I'm using a dmm to tune the amp so I first put the 80hz 0db tone on at a low volume to set my low pass. speakers not hooked up and get all the way down. i stuck the dmm into the pos and neg of the channels 1 and 2 as if bridged. I got a reading of like .725V AC max and turned the low pass knob down until it started to change and figured that must be set at 80hz then. next I read each channel just to compare. they were .36 and .349V. That's fine. I then went on to do channels 3 and 4. It said like .2 something and so I thought the l…

I have had 2 songs make my amp go into protect mode. The amp is cool, Subs are cool, so its not thermal, Not a speaker short, so last would be over current. So would over current mean that the gain is to high for that song, its a high note that makes it do it. So the voltage is spiking to high for the amp? its a saz 2k. I just have to turn deck off, turn back on, and all good again. Does it at high volume/full tilt but only on a couple songs

The plan is to run SAZ-1500D on 2 Fi Q15's and 2 SAX-100.4's. A buddy of mine that's an installer at a stereo shop in the area says that running those amps will be fine on my stock 160A alternator if I use a Kinetik 2400 as my starting battery and add a second 2400 as reserve. Is this an accurate statement, or is my buddy gonna inadvertantly kill my alternator? Also will it even be worth it? Cuz even if it works and doesn't hurt anything, will my voltage stay high enough to get rated power?

The glue on multiple speakers has come off... The glue that holds the spider to the basket. I have my subsonic filter set to around 30hz, and the speakers were getting around 180 watts RMS max

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…

I ended up getting this sub off Jake and I'm so glad I did. Here's a link to CA.com http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=268616 I'm considering trying out DB drag or something in the spring. Not only is it loud but it sounds pretty good for an SPL sub (much better that a DMX 15 IMO) Anyway, I'll have some pics of my trunk up once I clean up the wiring.

Hey guys I am looking for a total of 2- Sundown stickers. I don't really know where to get a hold of them and i know Jacob is a busy guy so I just thought i would post here! i guess if someone has unused sticker they don't want to use send me a p/m. thanks Kenneth

i just saw someone mention a amp of this size when is this being released or is it?

so ill give you some info first truck - 99 s10 ext cab (no 3rd dr) 2 15" sundown nightshades 1 saz-3500D blah blah blah anyways, the box i orig. built for them isnt cutting it, so now im thinking 3/4 wall (i still want to be able to see out my rear view mirror) so can anyone help me with a desgin? im looking to tune to 35 hz, subs forward port... not sure where to fire it 43" long, 15" or less deep, 26-28 inches tall, 26 would be more ideal. this is for daily! not spl, i want it to slam the low notes, but sound good on every thing else. let me know what you guys think. thanks!

Hello .. I have a saz 3500d but I have some problems with it! Protection light is on all the time even though I have no bass coupled .. It became like this after I made ​​a mistake with the soil to the stereo so the earth by l rca cables. Have a friend who has a firm that makes amplifiers for home use that have looked at it but he says he must have the wiring diagram for saz 3500d in order to repair it. Can you help me with that? or if you think of something else can help me find a wiring diagram? Or do you have some idea of what it could be wrong? are very pleased with the amp in general and would like to fix it so I can use it! Since I live in Sweden and is suck in E…

I own an Atomic AT 1600.1D and recently purchased a Sundown SAZ 1500D because I am converting once the Sundown 50.4 comes out. I tested it out today in my truck and here's my opinion. Both amps are very very well built. There was noo difference in bass and performance. Both amps never get hot. They both performed surperbly on my 3 10's. The major difference and Chris from DB R told me this was the heatsink design. The Sundown was much heavier. The Sundown is built like a tank I mean that "mother" is one solid amp. The external appearance for both looks about the same the Sundown in my opinon looks a little better. I think the major difference though will be in c…

What kinda numbers do you think I can achieve with this setup? Car is an 06 Scion xB, currently I have stock battery up front, and a Kinetic 800 in back. Big 3 is done and dynamat everywhere so far but roof. Only cause I ran out of money. Box is 1.44 tuned to 38 hz sub up port to passenger side. Port is a single 4" aeroport. I made box so there is roughly 8 and a half inches to side of truck. 3/4" mdf except top plate top plate is two layers of 3/4. Box has lots of bracing. Just a note this is a version one of the nightshade. And is there anything I can try to gain a little bit more db's. Also, if it helps any head unit is a Pioneer Premier. Any help is greatly…

hey jacob ive asked for the sx recone b4, but since i dont know the measurements do you maybe know if your recones would fit a MT? i think the coils are the same ontop is the sx12 bottom is mt18

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.

I'm wanting to purchase 2 saz-3000D's and I had a few questions about them... My first question was how do I order some? And the pricing of them? I live in colorado and I have no dealers of Sundown, so I'm pretty sure I would have to buy over the internet

I have created an actual Sundown Facebook page that you can "Like" and get updates. I've had hundreds of friends requests on my personal page from customers -- and it is just that, a personal page, and not for everyone to see. But I did post alot of Sundown information on there that I'm sure people wanted to see... that information will now go to our actual Facebook page: Sundown Audio| Facebook

Anyone know what the average turn around time is for a recone?

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

I missed the presale because I didn't know what I was gonna need (want). Now I'm thinking I want to go active and I need a 50 watt amp with a good crossover built in for tweeters (or maybe just bridge a 50x4 for the mid-bass). But I'm looking around and can't find the sax 50.4 anywhere... Anyone know who is carrying this model? It's not that there aren't other ways to get around this problem...a 125.2 for midbass...a 1000D or 1200D for subs....but I'm trying too look at all of my options (and put the least strain on my wallet / stock electrical).

i was woundering if anyone here could help me design a box for my newly aquied 15 inch custom dual 1 nightshade i will be putting this in a 94 eclipse i can get the max messurement if u need it i will be doing some comps but also want it for daily too or i can just build two differnt box s if need be
