I just thought that I would post the results of our team from this past weekend's MECA event in E-town, KY. I didn't get any good pics from the show because it was cold and I was to busy trying to stay warm. Corey Mitchell 1st place in Drive-by 1 with a 120.5 30 second average 6 feet outside of the car. He is running one Sundown 1500D and one 12" PBX XS sub. Brent Howard 1st place in Amateur Street 3 with a 147.6 He is running one Sundown 3000D and two Audioque HDC3 15" subs. Derek Jackson 1st place in Street 1 with a 144.9 he is running one Sundown 1500D and one 15" FI BL sub. Jeremy McCord (me!) 3rd place in Mod 2 with a 147 I am running one 3000D and two 15" FI Q subs…

Just thought I'd post a few pics of my build thats about 45% done. Few Pics of the Van The enclosure: Test fit of the subs I have ripped up the plywood that was bolted to the floor and romoved the back seat. Need to fill the screw holes and tint my windows before I put my enclosure in. When I put the enclosure in I will brace it with 2x4's all the way around.

well this is my van...a 1995 Nissan Quest... at the moment i have: Kenwood x591 HU 4 5x7 blown speakers...planning on replacing them by 2 8's and 2 6.5" pro audio speakers profile baja 2 ch amp for the speakers... 1 15" audiopipe txx-15rd 1 SAZ-1500d optima yellow top g31 in the back now the picz old box.... new box... My Loudest score has been 137 on the tl on a small sealed prefab...going to a local comp tpday hopefully with my new box i touch the 140s

Hi guys if i buy a sundown 3000d is the warrenty transferable?I know this guy and he have 4 of them and he states that they have a 2 year warrenty on them.

Alright guys -- I have noticed that the SAX-100.2 doesn't get the recognition it deserves online. My local dealers love the amp and they have sold most of them to folks that don't post online! So, in order to get some love for the SAX-100.2 online I am doing to do something that you won't see again for a long time. I am opening a special DIRECT sale on the SAX-100.2 model until April 20th! On to the fun part... the cost will be $200 shipped in the continental USA (PM me for Hawaii and Alaska). Yes, that is right. This is April 2nd and not an April Fools joke!

Well its tax-return time and I'm officially debt free, and its also the the start of audio season. The question is should I buy and build a new street A car. This season the car would get a modest treatment, 2 runs of 1/0 wiring, a good battery, 2 saz-3000d's, 2 (10" subs undecided but would have to be pretty beastly). The following season it would get the fun treatment, 4-6 runs of 1/0, countless hours of termlab testing/box building etc... Should I do it, represent Sundown Audio and SSA again? I'm leaning towards yes, Its a great hobby and if I could nab a cheap crx/omni etc... I should be pretty solid in the north east.

Are here ill show my little setup, its a single audioque hdc3 15 running half an ohm on a sundown 1500d. box is a t-line built by rich. and as u can see i stated my camera wont pick up flex, its loud though.

Just took a few videos, will post them as the finish uploading: Here's the first one:

And I know it sounds like a woofer's blown at the end, but it's just the rear panel in the car vibrating. I kind of freaked out when I opened the trunk also, until I figured out what it was.

this weekend we built a 2cf box ported 60Hz w/ 2x 4" Areoports FG resin the inside of box for lil Jeff N 1x 12" SoundStream SPL-X Quad coil ( 1ohm ) 2x Sundown SAZ 1500d amps strapped ( Master - Slave ) 1x Kenitik 2000 Battery 151.3db / note 64Hz i was running the SAZ 3000d 2x NSB batterys 1x SoundStream XxX 15" ( 1ohm ) box 3cf w FG Resin w/ 2x 4" areoports 150.3db / note 52Hz we dominated the show !!! no one got close Temp today was 85 degrees

Ok so in the manual it loooks like I have to connect both positive speaker out terminals to the + speaker and both negative to the speaker negative to run it bridge... is that correct? On my other amps it was always the positive to speaker A + and the negative to speaker B negative

hey guys, what do these put out at 1ohm on a electrical system of 14-15 volts? also 1 more question if you dont mind..do you think a 300 amp alt from EA and a yellow top under the hood and 2 Kinetik HC2400 batteries in the back will be enough juice for the saz-3000 to its potential and a sundown 4 channel amp? heres some info on the kinetik's incase some dont know them Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell. MOST POWERFUL audio cell anywhere, PERIOD! Used in the loudest vehicles in the world and boasting over 180dB when used in competition. This bad boy has more current than power cells twice its size. If you want the BEST, this is it. Providing thousands of amps at near dead short,…

Well I got my saz1500 installed yesterday at a local shop. Today i decided that i was going to set the gains to 1200watts for my FI 15" BL. while using a DMM i am only able to get 26 volts out of my amp with volume 30/40. 0db tone CD DMM High to Low installed with my Stock stereo system Sub: Fi 15 BL Enclosure: 3.7ft^3 @ 32hz (ported) Amp: Saz-1500 Other: 1/0 gauge - 250amp Fuse - Stock Battery Any thoughts to whats wrong?

All specs measured after a short break-in period. Specs will vary slightly from unit to unit and with further break-in, as with any subwoofer, but these specs are accurate enough to model up your enclosures. 12" Model D1 Coils: Qts = 0.40 Qms = 6.83 Qes = 0.43 Fs = 43 Hz VAS = 11.7 L Le = 1.4 mH (series) Re = 1.59 ohms (series) BL = 17.6 N/A 12" Model D2 Coils: Qts = 0.44 Qms = 9.36 Qes = 0.46 Fs = 41 Hz VAS = 11.7 L Le = 3.0 mH (series) Re = 2.92 ohms (series) BL = 22.8 N/A 15" Model D1 Coils: Qts = 0.48 Qms = 9.33 Qes = 0.51 Fs = 40 Hz Vas = 36.7 L Le = 1.36 (series) Re = 1.44 ohms (series) BL = 15.27 N/A 15" Model D2 Coils: Qts = 0.44 Qms = 8.64 Qes = 0.47 Fs = 38 …

Are they any good. I am thinking about getting one. Saz-1500.

so i see the nightshade is rated for 1500wrms, now seriously what would a nightshade do with 1500wrms would it acutally be enough power for one? im asking cause i only have 1400wrms and was looking at the dc lv4 but if the nightshade only needs 1500wrms i might consider one.

Sub broken in for about 60 seconds at high excursion then specs tested: Fs = 38 Hz Re = 2.92 ohms (series) Qes = 0.466 Qms = 8.64 Qts = 0.44 Le = 3.05 mH Vas = 36.67 L Cms = 49 uM/N Mms = 339 grams BL = 22.84 N/A

Will Sundown have a booth in Daytona and/or bringing any products down to show off or sell? I'd like to see these new Nightshades in person.

First of all, hello my name is Matt, and after a bit of reading and so much awesome feedback on sundown audio amps, I want to try them out in my next build. I ask a lot of questions, but seem to answer a lot as well. Anyway, my question is this... how much power do these amps pull from the electrical system of a vehicle when under ~full load (1 ohm for 3000d, and others bridged) Just trying to figure out exactly what kind of electrical upgrades will be necessary. Thanks in advance, Matt

Today I was doing some testing on a new setup and I got some incredible #s out of my Sundown 1500d. It was running @ 0.5ohm pushing a pair of d2 Kicker cvr 15s. A 50hz test tone was used. The output voltage was 42.2v and the clamp meter read 64.1a of current output. Thats 2700watts w/ rise to 0.65 ohms. I couldn't believe it so I moved the clamp and dmm to the input side and got 315a of current draw w/ voltage dropping from 14.3v to 12.8v. 315a * 12.8v = 2700watts of ouput @ 67% efficiency. Am I doing this correct? I'm completely astounded to see 2700watts out of a single 1500d. In case anyone's interested, the setup hit a 147.3 on a TL legal, sealed, mic on the …

Well in order to have these subs for a team member for the show Jake was nice enough to drop these off on his way through my neighborhood. So these aren't mine, but they will be getting installed tonight by me hopefully I believe these are the first of the subs to be delievered so me > j00 pics Awesome packing material

does anybody have any information about these subs and pictures of it?

I received my refurbished sae-1000d yesterday. I actually looks really nice. The picure here showed a couple of little marks on the cover, but they are hardly noticable. Hooked it up at 2ohms and wow! I was very impressed with it. The specs say that it does 600rms at that resistance but it definately puts out more than my "900rms" kenwood. Alot cleaner sounding too. I was having a really hard time setting gains last night too. I think i need to find someone with an o-scope. Just though I would compliment Sundown for working with me on getting my amp and, though I don't know very much about car audio, I was really impressed with it.
