Sundown Audio

Just wondering... How come this amplifier isn't listed on the Sundown website? At least I cannot find it... Maybe I'm too drunk to notice but it seems like it is missing...

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.

Ive had to scrap my original idea of using a single 8 due to the port length / space limitation for where I wanted it. Ive decided to use the pair i have and not worry about the space required. Im guessing eclosure volume would be double the single so 1.2-1.5 cuft, what should my port size and length be? this will be for every day use thanks

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.

Hey Jacob, What thread can i re-tap my SAZ-3000 to on the speaker outputs? i guess i stripped the thread completly on one of them and was wondering what the next size thread up i could tap it to? or just let me know the size it is now and i can figure it out. Thanks, Anton Miller

I am considering an Eclipse CD7200 Mk II, which has 8v pre-outs. I'm wondering if there is going to be a compatibility issue since sundown amps are specified for up to 6 volts.

is their any in stock???

The Z v.2 woofers are back in stock. There have been a few revisions made : 1) The top shorting ring has been removed -- but the internal ring was upgraded from aluminum to copper. 2) The coil windings changed from 4-layer flat aluminum to 4-layer round bifilar copper -- this lowers Fs a bit and I tested no loss in efficiency at lower power and a small gain at high power. Coil is a bit more robust than the aluminum was as well due to additional mass. Copper also has a lower thermal expansion to accommodate the Z v.2 tight gap. All in all it makes the driver more tolerant to abuse. --- We still have the 4-layer flat aluminum coils to match other subs on re-cones... also, t…

Jake, I'm looking at my new amps (Thanks BTW!), and I was thinking how sexy it would be to have some bridge pieces so that when installed they look like one HUGE amp. Would this be a possibility? Thanks! Ron

Hey guys i know this might be a dumb question but what are the diffences between the nightshade and the Z? What does each sub excel at? I hear alot of people saying very good things about the nightshades but not much info is floating around about the Z. I see that both are rated at 1500wrms(im sure they take way more), is one a SQ sub and the other SPL or a combination of both. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

ÎÒÂ-Ïðèì >> [PRO] Òà÷êè: àâòîçâóê êàê îí åñòü First car is a SQ ride with one SA-12 -- I caught a "Sundown Audio" around 6 minutes (I don't understand Russian so that is all I got). At around 8 minutes they get into the Team Sundown Russia Mitsubishi Pajero ground pounder with four SA-12s. Looks like audio is big time in Russia with a 15-minute segment on car audio !!!

When are the nightshades going to be back in stock? what is holding them up?

I should be able to wire up my 100.2 to the RL-i8 DVC 4 in the next few days, and I just wanted to make sure I understand all of my options. When I was talking to denim about the 100.2, I think he mentioned that I could bridge it and then wire the RL-i8 in series at 8 ohm. He says the 100.2 pushes out more than it's rated for (500W bridged?). Even at 8 ohms, 250W should be enough to drive the sub for daily SQ use. Unless I'm mistaken, shouldn't I also be able to wire it in parallel at 2 ohms for the full 400-500W? I would just as soon leave it in series and let the amp run cooler, providing it can push the sub adequately, but I wouldn't mind trying the higher output j…

I was wondering if I could run the SAZ-3000D daily @ .4DCR. Current system setup 4 DD 9515D2 18Cu.Ft. Box tunes @ 42Hz, 12 Kinetik 2400, 1 Kinetik 1800(Front Bat), Missing Link, DC Power Alt, Idle voltage 14.4 Idle amps 140, 2k RPM 275 amps, 14.4 Voltage. Just wanting to is if this would be ok.

Hi, I have just sold my Mmats 3500.1 amplifier as it didn't have the subsonic option and I just wanted a change... I was looking into a Sundown 3000 amplifier but after speaking with our UK dealer (DirectIce) I have been advised they are being replaced with the 3500 version. He is still looking into if he can get hold of the 3000 for me, any ideas and prices for both? In

Team twisted mayhem took first place again at the kiwanis car show in white house,tn.thought id share that with the sundown guys.the others couldnt make it due to not being able to find gas!!!!thanks again jacob!!! Todd Mayton AS3-147.2db(at the headrest with the car off!!)

A buddy of mine gave my brother a free E8 that he thought was blow, the former was just bent. So we fixed it and it works great!!!

Takes a bit more power

can i run they sundown @0.5 of i keep the gain down? i have a fi bl 18 dual 1 ohm sub and i dont wont to send it back to get it recone.

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?

Probably a noob question but can you strap a 3000d to a 3500d?

Hello everybody. I just wanted to let everyone know that my Kia Sportage SUV is on the Sundown Audio's Rides Page. It is listed under the Customer's Ride's Page, but it should be listed in the Team Sundown Audio Member's Page. I am just happy they accepted my pics. Tell me what you think guys.

so, ive ordered 2 saz3000d and jacob realy helped me a lot to get them here he realy is a great guy and also the amps are absolutely beautiful they are here since wednesday, but i didnt had any time to put them in the car but i realy wanted to test them, thats why i build a amprack and put them in the car yesterday, i know, i doenst look good, but it was made in 15mins so the amps are GREAT, amazing build quality and they realy put out some power, to be precise, ive killed my mt yesterday while playing music..... but damn it was loud just a quick shot of the amps

I'm picking up a pair of Z15's off a guy on the forums here. Due to trunk space and lack of a HO Alt I'm only going to be running one of them and either selling the other or keeping it as a spare. Since they're dvc4 I can only run it at 2 ohms on the amp, and the product manual states that the amp does 600w at 2 ohms. Will there be a large downgrade in performance running them this low? Right now I'm running 2 shitty 12s at a 4 ohm load, and since the manual states that it does 300 @ 4ohm, I dmm'd it at 300. I'm hoping that the z15 on twice the power will blow the 12's out of the water. But by giving the sub just over half its RMS, am I severely limiting it's potential? O…

So I just got my SAE-1200D in the mail and installed it. Im pretty sure I installed everything correctly. This is far from my first time wiring an amp. The issue I had was that I couldn't get any sound from the subs so I started trouble shooting. I had good power, ground and remote cause the little green light was coming on, I checked my wiring for the subs and everything checked out there so I figured the problem must be in the RCAs. I check the HU to make sure the subs were turned on and they were. I broke out a new set of RCAs and ran them unimpeded to the amp and still got nothing. Then i decided to move the connection from the INPUT to the OUTPUT and voila, I got m…
