On the next run of them... probably within 3-4 months or so. It is a very close match -- the face is exactly the same. The side has a few more fins... the big difference is that it is 10mm taller and has a BUNCH of fins under the face.

I didn't take any pics of it -- no need. Look at the pic on the site and imagine that you mounted it, scuffs on the mounting feet, but otherwise new looking. It's 9.5 / 10 condition easy.

New items added.

I want new BMs as midbass -- is that so wrong ?

Only a few more weeks left to pre-order!

250 x 2 @ 4 ohms 500 x 2 @ 2 ohms 1000 x 1 @ 4 ohms 12.8 volts.

They had computers worth tweaking when you were in high school? Damn, I feel old. When I left for college a 486DX was where it was at. I learned CAD on an 8088 machine that would take 30+ min for a redraw on a basic wireframe model (the whole file would fit on a 3.5" floppy). My first PC was a 386 enhanced with 8MB of RAM (8 x 1MB SIMs) and a 20MB hard drive. CD-ROMs were just coming out. I didn't have one for quite some time after that. I built my first computer 3 years later. 100MHz Pentium with 32 MB of RAM. The memory cost more than the entire rest of the system ($200 IIRC). 2D only vid card (the 3D cards were still a year away). SB AWE16 sound card. I built my last semi-up-to-date computer 5 years ago just before I left Japan. It lasted 6mos before a power supply failure cooked both HDs, the CD RW, MB, CPU, RAM, vid card, sound card and basically everything but the NIC. I rebuilt it in early '03 and haven't messed with it since. My very first system was alot like yours -- I had a 386 SX 16 Mhz w/ 25 Mhz "turbo button" and 8 MB RAM. I did have a 100 MB hard drive, though, and we had a 1x CD drive with a "caddy" rather than a drawer style holder. Of course, I was around 8 years old at the time. I still messed with it alot I've got an 8088 in my shed That thing is a beast and was made a year before I was born *laughs*

It's going to be cool

About $549 MSRP. Pricing on pre-orders is as yet to be determined, will likely be in the low to mid 400s. PS: The new crossover will have the following features: Subsonic @ 10 Hz - 500 Hz HPF @ 30 - 3000 Hz (30 - 300 with x10 switch) LPF @ 50 - 5000 Hz (50 - 500 with x10 switch) Bass Boost @ 35 - 120 Hz variable w/ 0 - 18 dB boost You can easily bandpass a midbass / midrange driver with these features. I also went from 50 amp to 70 amp transistors from prototype to production in the power supply as well as going from 63 volt to 80 volt capacitors. The proto didn't have any problems with these parts, but hey, thats how I roll

Discovered that customs did it -- they opened to the package for inspection and put it back wrong *sigh* Anyway, I am getting parts for it -- hopefully soon.

Two 1500Ds strapped @ 2 ohms would be a better choice. Since I do not cover it by warranty I will not tell you that it is okay. People do run them this way, though.

Only a few more weeks left to pre-order!

You will have no warranty coverage at 1/2 ohm.

Gotta keep it civil. I'll close this one now as it has ran the course.

The way the packing was it would have messed up any driver. But anyway, they are sending me a re-cone so I can repair and test it!

Indeed, the SAZ-3000D is a totally different board design than the 1500D. It is almost exactly twice as powerful as the 1500D, but it does have a totally different design to achieve that In this case, one 3000D @ 1 ohm would be preferred. Running the pair of 1500Ds strapped @ 1 ohm is not covered under warranty.

Anyways Like I said. Not really soon. *Maybe* towards the end of next year.

I get people asking me about big amps alot lately. Of course, the market outside of the SPL scene is incredibly small so it's not a huge priority at this time. I'd like to do it, but many other things will come first.

Not this time. They are 100% compatible with one another still.

Not in the very near future, no. Sometime next year? Maybe. If so, it would be towards the END of next year most likely. PS: If you want a 3000D with the current style heat-sink please do it soon. Only four remain in stock that are ready to ship -- e-mail me for more information.

Not a good idea.

Very glad to see that you finally received the amp! PS: The font is the same one used for the "Sundown Audio" logo.

Nice pics I'm liking all the Sundown stickers! Pretty amazing transformation for 30 mins!

Computer is still doing great Actually bought a PC game for the first time in YEARS -- HellGate London. Pretty much like a revised Diablo. Pretty fun... I probably play ~30 mins a day in between doing other things.

Probably something like that. Many of my woofer projects continue to get delayed (see 8" woofer thread) so perhaps I can push it up a little, we'll have to see.
