Sundown Audio

What are the differences in the Z v2 and the Z v3? I've sifted through the forum with no luck. Have not found a lot of info on the v2..(may have over looked it)

I've destroyed these... On one the motor broke off from the basket, so I'm looking at getting 14-18 re-cones or so...thanks jacob. I think that was the name. The bass is getting to me.

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

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…

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 wondering if any Sundown supporters are close to ND? Minn, MT, SD, Iowa, Wy, Canada....anyone close?

OK, so I need some help on strapping amps. I

what size wire does it take i thought i saw 1/0 awg some where but cant remember . ugggh i feel like a trying to get everything to come around the same time so maybe i can get my system up and running in a couple months

i have been looking at getting an 12" fi ssd and its rated at 800 rms. I have also been lookin at amps and everyone has something good to say about sundown. Would the sundown sae 1200d be a good choice for the 12" fi ssd? thanks

my best friend just pick up 2 sundown saz 1500ds and he was wondering if its better to strap these amp or just run each amp to each sub? i tried to tell him it would be better from to just strap them. the sub he will be using is 2 fi bl 18's which he will be getting around xmas time

Think the subs would be able to handle that kinda power birth sheet is 3303rms at 1 ohm and thats what i would wire them to box would around .75 cubes per sub tuned to 36 htz maybe a lil lower looking to be louder than the btl 15

I occasionally build custom drivers on non-Sundown platforms by request -- few pictures to share These use the Z v.2 light weight 15" cone, Z v.2 production voice coils, Z v.2 production "2 spider" pack, an additional re-enforcement ring at the triple joint, stock T3 TSS frame and motor. With this cone the factory trim ring can also be used unlike the last TSS I built with the wide roll surround. * Top triple joint * Factory trim ring in place * Triple joint ring between cone and spiders. This cone is a bit shallower so there is room between the cone and spider. * The second one being built... this is my spider press rig to make sure the spiders stick well to one ano…

i got this sundown audio E8 with coil rub and i was wanting to know if sundown made a recone and if they do how much?

ok so i got my self a 3000d and am waiting on my fi q 15" D2 to come. i was wondering if i ever expand to a seconded one if i could run the 2 at .5 at around 2400 watts and not piss off the amp for daily use. other than that any tuning suggestion for the single fi Q besides don't crank the gain knob all the way up. and if u use a dmm what should it read for 1100 - 1200 watts, at the moment it says a bought 70V but that dos not sound right it would have blown my 100A fuse by now it that was true. thank you for your time.

I'm about to purchase a 1500d from a guy that is local to me. I was just wondering what it takes to run this thing at .5 ohm. My electrical will be: Stock 140a alternator, Big 3 done Powermaster D3100 battery for the front Powermaster D680 for the back Is there any reason that i wouldnt be able to run the 1500 at .5 ohm daily?

Just a little tip - it may be easier to buy a new frame than try to get the bolt down ring off the SA-8 frame on the new ones. I do have frames in stock for them. Plus side... the spider will NOT be coming off any time soon if you don't want it to. Here is one we removed this morning : As you can imagine it didn't come off easily. It is glued under the spiders, bolted through the frame, and epoxied on top.

does anyone know the mounting depth of this sub

What about be the minimum type of electrical system that i would need to support this. Would Big3, 136 amp alternator, and a powermaster 3100 in the front be enough?

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.

We are closing both Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone -- if you are traveling be safe and have a good time with your families.

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?

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.

Ok, I have 2 FI BL 18's, D2 ohm now with 2 sundown 1500d's strapped. I still have stock alternator battery up front and powermaster d3100 in back. I am getting another 3100 and missinglink module, and think it comes set at 14.4-15.2v. Now I want to add another 18". Should I run both my 1500d's strapped on the 3 which is 1.3 ohms I believe, or sell them and run 1 saz-3500d?

I need to mount two amps together. One on top of the other. What is the easiest, best way to do this. I also need to keep them as tight as possible due to space limitations. Any suggestions?
