Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

So my friend just got a new Sundown amp. The recommended fuse size is 200 amp. He just told me on the phone he currently has a 60amp fuse on his fuse holder. He asked me if it was fine to use what he had, I said I was going to ask around first to see if it was ok to do so. Is it ok to use a 60 amp fuse or will there be any problem/risk or anything?

I was thinking about purchasing a SAE-1200dv2 from dB-r and I noticed that the refurbs they are selling don't come with a bass remote. If I were to buy one where could I get a remote? Straight from Sundown/Jacob? Thanks

Tomorrow i should have my my SAX 125.2 wired up to my Kenwood DNX-8120 and Hetrz HSK 165.4 components. I wanted to get a heads up about about all of the settings on the amp and where everything should be set. I dont have a DMM if that matters. Thanks for any help! Here's a picture for reference...

Does anybody have any idea where Sundown Audio amps are made ?? t Thanks.

Does anyone know what the accurate specs are for the sundown audio SAZ 1500d v.3 is? I lost the paper work for this and i've found 2 sites that claim to have the specs but they are different from one another. I'm just trying to figure out the accurate inline fuse to use and the accurate watts.

I´m not so god at english too start with cause im from Sweden! =) i´ve just bouht a saz-3500d and i´m wondering if i can load it down too 0.5ohm? At the moment im using it on 4 Audiotop 15.4 15" subs,and i had an Sundown 3000d before and the difference in preassure was really big and with the saz3000d i played 150.00 with music. But i´vw also bougt 2 Sundown nightshade 12" 2 * 2 subs and my otehr question is there any chance that i can play more than 150 db with the 2 Nightshade on the 3500d amp?

I am wondering if anyone can tell me the pros and cons if any of the Sundown Audio SAZ1200D.1. I know that they make some awesome stereo equipment but I truly don't know anything at all about this amp. HELP,LOL.

Hi. Can anyone tell me if this is a good amp or not. (SAZ 1200d.1 Mono.) I am aware of Sundowns reputation of having great Speakers/Subs but I don't know about this particular amp. I am planning on using it to power (2) DD1508 D4 subs and would like to know that it will be sufficient with over head left. I do appreciate all input and thank you.

I want to know which would be best for my system. Im looking at these two amplifiers.. The Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D v2 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/Sundown-Audio-SAZ%252d1500D-v.2.html The Hifonics HFi1500D http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22707_Hifonics-HFi1500D.html Either will be powering a Sundown Audio 15" Nightshade at 1 ohm. So 1500wrms from both. Id like to know anyone who had experience with either of these amps and what you recommend for me? I have big 3 with kicker 1/0 all kicker 1/0 wiring and XS 3100. Stock alt. (130amps.) it wont be spl just fun everyday driver, SQ with a little power. thanks everyone. Will be in 2002 Ford Rang…

When are the amps gonna be available??? ...I'm interested in the two channel version.

NooB's, DO NOT COMPREHEND THIS POST. Under 1 ohm coverage is void from Z series Sundown amps so no warranty is implied in this post! Ok, my question I understand that the warranty is void by doing this but throwing that out the window, i know it's still possible so what i want to know is, when is the amp not safe? Let's say i got 2 SAZ-1500ds strapped and ran a load at 0.93 ohms. Warranted coverage is no lower than 2 ohms strapped. I've talked to a manufacturer before and he said about all his amp returns are due to people not knowing what they are doing when they run too low of a load. What i want to know is, what makes it "ok" to run below that load? I keep seeing …

First off, another comparison that may have already occured yea yea sorry. Looking at a Saz-1500D for $400 or a 2200d for $389? Obviously a difference in power but Sundowns are usually underrated with great CS and don't hear TOO much bout the AQ's besides ppl that have them but know nothing bout any other amps. Any opinions whatsoever....gracias! lol Thanks Chris Hasbrook

I have been looking for differant deals to pop up for an amplifier for my next build. For power, I am looking for something close to 1kw at 2 ohm, doesn't have to be exact. The sundown sax-1200d has been an option for me from the beginning. Recently, I noticed that the Stetsom V 1K5 is on sale for pretty close to the same price as the sax-1200d. After alot of research, it appears to me that stetsom amplifiers are pretty good, reliable etc... As far as customer service, I'm sure that sundown would win that category. Either of these two amplifiers would be at the top of my budget. Would I lose anything by going with the Stetsom V 1K5? I know it is capable of a little …

ive had a saz3000 since summer 08, and this next summer im lookin do double the power in my car, i need help deciding on an amp though. I heard about sundown and stetsom at the same time last summer when i asked around in a different place, and decided on sundown. now i need even more power, at 2 ohms. my choices so far are either to get another saz3000 and strap 2 together, or get a stetsom 6k2d. only problem with stetsom now is they only have the 6k2d in brazil right now. the US supplier said they might have some after april though. any advice on which to get.

Hello all, I have a Sundown SAE-1000D powering a 12" AA Havoc and a 4-channel Kenwood eXcelon powering my mids and highs. With this setup I was having a little headlight dimming at high volumes. Now even after adding the Kinetik HC600 in the trunk I still have the same dimming problem; no better or worse. I am pretty sure I have it wired properly with the 2-gauge run from the battery fused at the battery running to another fuse within 18" of the HC600 then from there to the distro block. Both fuses are 150A ANL's. The only wiring difference I have from the suggested wiring in the manual is that I have it grounded to the chassis in the back as opposed to having a grou…

While moving I had to remove my subs and amp from my car. When hooking them back up in haste I hooked up my power cable to the ground and my ground cable to power. Sparks flew and wires were disconnected soon after. The inline 80 amp fuse burned out. Fuses on the amp were fine. After replacing the inline fuse and connecting the amp correctly the amp will not turn on. I checked the fuse in my Alpine 9887 and it was still fine, I replaced it just to make sure. I opened up the amp and everything looks perfect except a few brown solder points located on the steel plate near the ground/power connections. Are these brown spots just left over flux or do these points need to be…

Hey guys, I have been searching high and low trying to find a bass knob for my Sundown Sae-1200d, and I cannot find one anywhere. Any suggestions as to where I can find one?

Ok so I want to install my new sundown amp tomorrow but Im not exactly sure what to do with all these knobs and stuff because my old amps basically just had gain and my JL amp the dealer tuned for me.. I wanna get this right and you guys know all. I have 1 18" FI SSD in a 7.3 cubic ft ported box at 33hz with dual 2 that I'm wiring to 1ohm to a Sundown sax 1200d. I just wanna know what is suggested or you guys suggest for alll the settings.. i dont know exactly how do set them ... Like the LPF SSF and gain and umm.. crap i know there is more. Please help ME LOL. I know gain i am using a 50hz test tone with sub unhooked and a multimeter, but I don't know how to figure o…

So I have my SAX-1200D and im sure its the same with alot of amps as well. But to my question, 2 sets of RCA's and i understand both of them but they are not marked + - on either, so i dont want to disconnect the wrong ones and fry $$$ any 1 have any suggestions to which jack is + and -?

I just secured a 100.4 and 125.2 for an awesome deal and had a few questions, basically to solidify my purchase decision. I was hoping to use the 100.4 for an active front stage 2 way comps. Use 125.2 to run a sa8 in a .75 ported box. I feel the amps are up to those tasks without a secondary processor for the comps and the single 8 should be healthy on the 125.2 @ 2 ohms. Feedback, and suggestions on comp sets and headunits would be welcome as I'm still juggling a few ideas around. Thanks Lymen

I want to make sure i get more information before i go and do my own things . I recently received a saz1000 .I plan to install it useing 2 - 10" subwoofers (Audiopulse Epic dual 4ohm voice coils) . My question is amp settings : Were do i iinitally set the subsonic at ? Were do i iinitally set the LPF at ? Were doi iinitally set the Phase at ? Were do i iinitally set the Bass boost at or if i even need it ? I can deal with the gain .If you amplifier gurus can give me some ideas, i would appreciate it .

i am looking to buy an amp and im kind of undecided on what i want. right now im leaning towards a sundown 2000 but i need to know if anyone has ran one at 1/2 ohm because i need atleast 2000 watts rms @ 1/2 ohm or 2 ohm

Hi all, am in search of either of the above stated amps. I would prefer the Sundown but am very open to the Soundqubed. A perfectly operational used amp is what am looking for. My current budget it $250. PM me if you have one available. Thanks

What is the lowest ohm the sundown SAZ-2500d can drop down to and still be stable?

Any one able to confirm the dimensions of the saz-3500. I know the sundown site says 660x250x54 but I heard someone say it's bigger than that. Cheers Karl
