I got a Sundown SAZ-1500D from Jake and it came this morning in great shape, blizzard and all. Thanks for the great service Jake!.... And with my SAX-100.4

As the title states. I will be on an actual vacation for the first time in ~6 years or so. The rest of the crew will still be here at the shop holding down the fort. You can still reach Brandon and Debbie as you normally would. Some things may be delayed a bit that require my attention but most things will get done no problem.

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.

Do you need to have all 4 channels for the 100.4 when bridged? reason i ask is I'm using it as 320 x 2 at 4 ohms for subs which i only have 2 channels of RCAs and I don't want to have to buy Y splitters if I don't have to. If so would you use channels 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 or what? thanks guys. -Trevor

Okay so I have the low end figured out, but for the mids and highs I haven't decided. I figured since I already have Kicker 6 x 9's I'd go with some Kicker 6 1/2" for the doors and some 1" tweets. I think the SAX 50.4 would be a good buy. My low end will be (2) of the SA-12's powered by the SAZ-2000D. Will the mids and highs keep up with the low end or should I go bigger?

i am currently running 4 10's and i will be running 2 1200d's would i be better off running 1 amp per 2 subs or should i strap them both and run to all 4?

Just wondering if anyone has this info I need. The 125.2 What does it put out at 8Ohms per channel. thanks

I didnt want to clutter up the thread that was talking about the upcoming E8 woofer but I had some questions about it in relation to other sized woofers. I can not find anyplace in my town that sells or even has 8 inch woofers on display so I can hear. I have no idea what kind of bass come from the 8 inch woofers. All I'm familar with is the bass that comes from my two 12 inch Cerwin Vegas in a sealed enclosure. I'm looking for something punchier (the bass from the 12s seems muddy) but I still want it to get as loud at the lower frequencies as my 12s do (so I'm looking at 4 of these E8s). I just need to know if the 8s will deliver this punchier bass....i'm assumin…

Went to local show, Larry's Electronics today in Mesquite....Lotta nice stuff there... Had my hoopty out there as usual...both 3000D's strapped @ 0.5ohm...each amp seeing 0.25ohm....and the 18" Nightshade in my daily music box tuned to 27Hz....WoW! lol.......Peaked out at 44Hz.... Tone 44, I burped a 150.4 and a 150.5.......I can't wait to get the SPL box in this damn thing... On to a couple pics..... The Ride.. The set-up... The Equipment of choice.. The score... Had a good time...Looking for 154's when I get the SPL box done...

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

We plugged up one port hole in a box I had laying around the shop and dropped an NS 15 in there to see what would happen. Good times I think we've had too much fun this weekend. Also did a video of a 149.5 run -- my clamp did not register in the video for some reason... but when we did the 149.7 run I clamped 2500 actual watts. VIDEO :

They made it in... pre-orders will start shipping today.

got my second amp today. woohoo! i took out he current amp pushing the XXX and will be running this one in the mean time in case if any problems come up while in warranty. since my next set-up will not take place till Feb-March it's better to test now then later.. anyways thanks much for the amp. it looks great and works just fine! now all i need is a new alt and tons of tons of sound deadener. off to watch ATHF movie and have some yellow rice and black beans.. woot!

jacob please help me with this wiring issue im having. i have 3 ascendant audio mids in each front door and 1 in each rear. theyre all 4ohms. my question is can i run all 3 off the front set of channels safely(or should i say am i gonna kill it if i do) . the rear would be on the other channels. basically i wanna do it this way so i can control balancing the sound. then i have a 50.4 to run the 8 tweeters- 2 in the dash 1 in each front door and 1 in each rear door. the xo will be 80hz-about 2450 @12db/oct on the 100.4 and the tweeters will be xo at 2500@18db/oct on the 50.4. the tweeters will be mounted just in front of the door handles on all 4 doors. here are a few pics…

Here is another demo video. The song is ET by Katy Perry. Enjoy.

whats the difference between the saz and sae line in sundown amps?would the sae1200 be pretty much equal to the audioque 1200 as far as power?Each would be pushing to ssa icon 12

I was driving today and all of a sudden lost my mids. They were actually still playing, but were VERY quiet, had to put my ear right up to them to hear them. My setup is an RF 3sixty.2 doing 2 way active (plus sub) feeding a pair of 100.2's and a 1500d. So far I tried swapping the mids over to the tweeter amp and they work fine, the output on the 3sixty also works fine (I first suspected the 3sixty anyway. The protect light isn't on, no fuses are blown and the amp still works, but is very quiet. If I bring the gain up the speakers get louder, but the amp is being clipped badly and the speakers crackle (they work fine on the tweeter amp). Does anyone know of anything else …

Here is my set up......so far Head Unit - Pioneer Premier DEH-P690UB Front Stage - Hybrid Audio CLarus 6.1 Sub - Image Dynamics Q12 (DVC)...just one Question is which amp would work best....the SAX 125.2 (bridged) or the SAZ 1000D? Also, I'm looking at going active setup. Will the built in crossovers in the SAX 100.4 work as an active setup? Thanks

I read the instructions in the FAQ's section but i'm still somewhat confused. If i have (2)saz1500s strapped together i will still be getting a (1ohm) load correct? I am going to be running (2)FI BL - dual 1 so will run into a problem strapping these two amps together for my setup? Should i look into purchasing dual 2's instead

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?

Well I was cruising ebay and found a 1500 and of course bought it without thinking twice! It is refurbished but still has the original warranty and with all the talk about how wonderful sundown is with customer service I would be a fool to pass this deal up! Pics will be coming! I have an 02 2 door blazer and I am still debating on what to run either one 15"Q, 18" Q ported or 2 12" Qs sealed.... My electrical should handle it just fine I have a redtop under the hood with 0 gauge going to a second yellowtop in the back.

I just received an SAX-100.4 back from an Ivan Smith... I got this information from the original shipping label. I cannot find any e-mails form an Ivan Smith in my records... no invoice or note was enclosed. So if you see this contact me.
