Don't use them for the Nightshades.

I would suggest they fix this very soon - it can and will damage the amps over time.

No. You would either have a final 4 ohm load or two 2 ohm loads, neither of which will work on the 100.4 - they are also out of stock. You could run the pair @ 4 ohms on an SAX-100.2 or @ 1 ohm on an SAE-1000D.

Nice looking install too!

Takes time... I need 100.4s (not even I can get them right now) and speakers for the front.

Sweet

Yes, we are sorry to say that there will be a 10-12 week outage on 100.4s - but the D revision will be a major improvement for the crossovers!

Participation by international distributors is up to the individual distributor as well. Sorry, should have mentioned that right away! The international distributors set pricing in their region based on their actual cost to import, taxes, etc.

I'm sure he and his installer will solve the thermal issues - no need to be negative I'm going to close this thread so there is no un-needed arguing.

Hey guys - my internet is so slow here at home I was barely able to log on at all... so hopefully I can post. In any event, I would say just adding an intake fan on one side of the amps and an exhaust on the other side they will be just fine (one towards the subs, one towards the back of the car). An 80-120 mm computer fan for each would likely do the job. You have to create a flow - as the installer mentioned, just having fans blowing around doesn't do much good - but, creating a flow across these heat-sinks (especially the new ones) is very effective. Running covered is pretty challenging for any amp, IMO, and none of the amps in the line run any hotter than any other amp on the market in a given power range. Usually the comments I get about the Class-D amps is that the run ice cold - it also depends on the usage patterns of the customer, ambient temperature, etc.

I think he is just making stuff up for fun and entertainment

... when did we get a Second Skin forum here?!? I love Second Skin deadener products. Well, that is all... just noticed this forum!

Keep sending these in!

These 1200s are solid amps - I expect them to be big sellers once a few people get them

Indeed - this is a great opportunity to pick up a 1500D at a great price!

I have a few used 1500s for sale... New Case (four) - $350 each (nearly mint) Old Case (one) - $300 (normal wear and tear) Shipped prices in the 48 states... 1 year warranties. Prices lowered!

The only tweeter I am working on now is a non-metallic hard dome... the goal is to make a hard dome as "smooth" as possible, I can't stand a harsh tweeter so if it passes my listening testing I'm pretty sure it will for most as well. At least I hope so ... and the mandatory, no ETA!

The current draw is about the same.

Yes, as long as this thread remains on top that means I still have some

Should see ~38 volts or so if the crossovers aren't in the way.

Pre-Sale price is $350 on these until they arrive in around 4 weeks. Pre-Sale is direct from Sundown only - once they arrive the pre-sale will be over and they will be regular priced at $499 MSRP. Price is shipped in the continental 48 states, e-mail for otherwise. PAYPAL to [email protected] to order - no quantity limits! Or mail a money order / cashiers check to: Sundown Audio 151 Rebel Hill Dr Mooresville, NC 28115 If you mail a money order be sure to include a note with your name, shipping address, e-mail, and phone number. This is estimated time for delivery (4 weeks), could be more or less - but this is a great deal on these amps to those with patience! Full 2-year normal Sundown Warranty (and 5-year discounted replacement). SOLID amp, very under-rated. They do come with a remote gain knob as well, FYI. ----- PICS: * Front face identical to current SAE-1000D model * Control panel side w/ hi-level inputs and woofer remote input (this remote is not compatible with other remotes) * Silver colored metal connectors to match other amps. Notice all internal fins are textured with "micro fins", as well as insides of side walls and bottoms of the feet. Very high surface area for heat dissipation! * Dual Torroids, large output filter inductor, etc. You can see the substantial transistor banks discussed earlier as well as the healthy sized capacitor banks. ----- Testing done on August 21st on production sample: Playing around with the SAE-1200D a bit just testing maximum power, period. No regards to distortion we got up to the following: 43.3 Amps 46.7 Volts 1.08 Ohms Actual ---- 2022 Watts Any more and we would blow the fuses to pieces. Just curious to see how far we could push it - this is not a test with regards to distortion at all, THD was probably well into the double digits here - well into clipping. Actual output at low distortion is easily 1200-1500 watts at 12.8 volts in a car.

Yes. These are the newest 1500s w/ the new heatsink. All brand new amps, full warranty, etc.
