Sundown Audio

We are around 62 days to my sundown Review!!!!! I am excited!!!!!! Thanks again Jacob. J

Will mixing 2 different sub models produce any cancellation if they are in seperate enclosures and same size? ie, Using a SA-12 and a Z v.3 12"; strange question I know, but can't find info on it.

I am trying to figure out how the night shades compare to the digital design subs for a spl vehicle. I am wanting to know how loud the night shades are to the dd subs. with the same rms levels. I guess i would like a comparison btw the 9500 series and the 3500 series against the night shades. Any one with some experience here?

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?

Just wondering if you were planning on going to ces jacob...

i remember jacob telling me about it a while back, and i lost the PM. what kind of power is it going to put out at 2/4 ohms, and bridged?

I know you can run the 100.4 active. I "believe" using the SSF to make a bandpass. Does it do that with chan 1/2 or 3/4? The manual doesn't really explain much. Any help or links to a post with that info would be GREATLY appreciated as I'm doing an install for a guy this weekend and need that info asap. Or Mr. Sundown replying and setting me straight is always appreciated.

Some production shots from the factory before they were loaded up : ---------- SD-2 10" ---------- SD-2 12" ---------- You will note these have 16 vent holes in the frame vs. 12 on the prototypes and the surround is stitched on -- the surround material is also an upgraded material. Otherwise the cone / spider / frame are equal to the SA line. The motor and coil shrank down a bit -- so you can think of the SD-2 like a "mini-SA" line.

Just for reference... please e-mail me. The delay on responding to PMs is annoying when I have 10 to answer so I am going to quit answering them once my box fills up again - please e-mail me.

The SA line is mostly sold out right now... we only have SA-10 D4 in our warehouse at this time. We have more SA-8s both ways and SA-10 D2 due in 3-4 weeks. We have all other SA sizes and configurations in large quantity due in November. ----- Our distributor in Iowa, Top Dog Audio, has some SA woofers in stock. WoofersEtc.com also has stock on most configurations of the SA line right now as well.

my friend has 3 single voice coil 4ohm pioneers and he asked me what would be a good amp and i recomended a sun down SAZ-1000 but it would be ran @ 1.33 ohms on around 12.9 volts. each sub is 400 watts RMS so thhats 1200 watts RMS. i was wondering if anybody could tell me about how many watts the sundown would put out under these sercumstances. i dont how much extra power the pioneers could handle so i would like the RMS a lil bit lower then 1200 just to be safe. they r also a few years old.

Hey jacob, i was just wondering if u had got my email, i've been having problems with yahoo lately and havnt had a reply from ya since friday. I know ur busy but i was just wondering if u had gotten them, bc if not i gotta get a new email provider lol. so just hit me back whenever u get a chance. thanx.

does anybody know what this amp puts out on a good electrical, what it be good for 2 icon 12's

Thanks to Jacob and Sundown, the prize for the KFC wing eating contest at the June 13th Db Drag, Competition Only, and IASCA show in Andrews will be a Sundown 1500d! There will be a $20 entry fee. First one to finish WINS! Registration will be on a first come first served basis. There will only be 10 entries available. Show will start around 3:00 pm and registration for the wing contest will begin around 4:00 with the contest starting around 7:00 pm.

Back from SBN so time to start catching up - had a good time !

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…

well im bored and feel like writing a bit lol so i wanna say that this amp works great @ .35 ohms...im burping with it and it can take numerous burps without even getting hot, the volume doesnt have to be rolled cause it wont go to protection. I was doing 140-141 with it @ 1.4 ohms and when i lowered it to .35 my # goes up to 145-146. also the amp is pretty efficient @ .35, my volt goes down to 12.8 without recharging batts. also the amp can play music/bassrace fine with it...i bassraced a 139.6 with it(the damn bass ended 2 sec. before the run :S) , it also plays music fine, i played 3 full songs and THE amp took it like a champ...anyways im not telling everyone to go on…

so 95a alt 650a bat, using 1500d sundown amp with 18" Fi Bl. Do i need to do big3 or can I survive without it?

I need help with a box spec for my 2 Sundown Audio SA-15s. Its going into a Izusu Rodeo. My goal is to hit over 150db. The box needs to be 6 to 8 cubic feet, port tuned to 35hz and max width is 41". I looking for a box that i can use as a daily driver and for competitions. I would appreciate the help.

As long as I don't let my voltage drop I should be able to strap them at 1 ohm right ????? what is a 3000d rated at at .5 an ohm has any one ever tested them??? plan on runnning four dd 12's 3500 or 9500 at 1 ohm is it worth it??

what electrical upgrades will i need to run a sundown saz-1500d in my 97 s-10?

In case anyone sent me an important e-mail last night... I didn't get it. I had 1350 spam e-mail this morning and went through and deleted them... I did not find a single valid e-mail out of all of that, so I suspect maybe I deleted something important. So... re-send anything important that you sent me last night =)

Any one know what the 1500s strapped will put out at 2.8 ohms strapped? I think I'm better off at 2.8 strapped than .7 with a lowered gain.

So... you want to know how much the SA-12 will take thermally ? Video starts at 14.5 amps (1740 watts) power drops off to the 1200 - 1400 watt range after the first 10 seconds and continues to play for a total of about 35 seconds at this power level. Never going below DOUBLE rated power for the entire time on straight sine wave wall socket power @ 60 Hz. The woofer is NOT broken but I decided to stop as the current continued to drop indicating the coil was getting too hot. I plan to use this one in my Jeep so I didn't want it to go until it quit http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/SA-12_Production/Wall-Socket/CIMG2652.MOV Fun stuff This is a Dual-2 -- first sample that I …

So im happy to say that ive made up my mind and instead of squeezing 2 HDC3 15's in my truck im gonna go with 2 nightshade 15's since they like smaller boxes. My question is when are they going to be back in stock in the ssa store and are they gonna be the v2 or v1 or both? Has there been any word on how much the v2 is gonna cost?
