    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 have breifly looked but can some please tell me how to wire my saz1500 v2 to my FI 2ohm sub for a 1ohm load. Also does it matter which way the rca's are in? (They are not colored red and white on the amp) Pics would be awesome. I know these may be dumb questions but its the last thing for me to do.

    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.

    Hi, I recently decided to upgrade my Type-R subs to 2 Sundown SA-12's (4 Ohm) for my SAZ-1500D amp and want to set them up as 1 Ohm and I have followed the diagram on the12-volt which is this: but my sub box has 2 wire terminals for each sub so what I did was for each sub - to - and + to + with the one + wire from the top coil and the - from bottom coil to the terminal and from the terminals to the amp to their -/+ and set jumpers on the amp as + to + and - to -, this should be ok right? I had the Type-R's is the same fashion which worked fine but the SA-12's aren't pushing which is making me think I might have done something wrong in the wiring so if someone can please…

So I almost got the build complete, just gotta finish up my box and I'm good to go...had to wait on my ports which I also got today as well. I guess you can say it was a good day though. Thanks Jacob for the beefy a$$ sub, I LIKE!

    So... stuff was piling up again. I found more b-stocks, more used 1500Ds are coming back from Team members, and some refurbished amps are popping up here and there as well: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsundownzQQhtZ-1 B-Stock, Used, and Refurbished amps do come with a warranty but it is reduced compared to a brand new unit from a dealer: Used / B-Stock = 1-year warranty Refurbished = 90-day warranty All amps listed for sale on e-bay are tested thoroughly on my bench here before leaving.

    New 2012 Model Amps will start to roll out in May this year. We will be out of stock of almost all amplifiers until that time. We apologize for the period of no stock on the amplifiers but this is necessary to further increase the quality and performance of our products. We expected amplifier stock to hold out until May but record sales have made that impossible so we do appreciate all of our dealers and customers and their continued support. Stay tuned for information coming soon on the new 2012 models! Specifics : * SAX-125.2 still in stock * Final shipment of 2500s / 3500s due in about 30 days * Stocking dealers like WoofersEtc.com will still have some amps for…
