Steve, No idea why you aren't gaining, the power output increase by going to high voltage is tremendous. It *has* to be something else with your setup for sure. Have you used a DMM on all of your coils to make sure one isn't open?

Okay... well it is back up now!

I'm not seeing any new e-mail in my box since 7:30 PM last night... just a heads up in case anyone e-mailed me since then. I'm not sure if I'm going to get them later or if they are lost, my server is not responding at the moment.

Haha! Nice!

I posted my two cents about it. That is all that can and should be said, IMHO.

I could care less what they think being that they haven't used the amp... fact is the amps sound great. Just as good as any more expensive amplifier I have ever owned. Independant reviews indicate the same as well.

Did the box shift at all? My brothers truck drops around 1 dB if the box is 3-4" to one side of the loudest spot!

For the record I am the owner of Sundown and out of the posters so far only SilverBane is directly associated with Sundown, and neither of us has said anything about the car. Also, Sundown does not fully sponsor *any* cars -- we have a Team Sundown program where some guys get discounted pricing due to their experience and participation in SPL competition. At this time nobody has applied for the Team with a "show car" -- although, depending on your step-dad's plans for the car it may be possible for him to join the Team. I generally don't handle things like this on the forum -- as SilverBane suggested, people generally e-mail me.

Can you? I wouldn't suggest it I did it since I was at the controls and took responsibility for it, I won't make any guarantees.

Ray knows his SPL Very cool guy, I would take his advice

In my brother's truck the amps were protection happy when the system was cold. This was due to the fact that all of the internal resistances in the amp were at their minimum thereby increasing current flow and tripping protection... same for the sub voice coils, we had the amps at 1/4 ohm so when they were cold the load was just too hard for them. We found that one or two burps below full bore to get things "warm" allowed us to hit it full force without protection.

Rony has his first shipment of amps now, I am hoping that things do well in Israel for him I will have more woofers following soon... I am still working on the "E Series" mentioned before as one step up from these. I have other ideas in the pipeline as well, should be very interesting!

Try a different RCA cable to see if that helps. Also make sure that the speaker wire connection in the box is still connected tightly. Where is the amp mounted?

Let me know if you will be needing some

They are made to be a no-nonsense woofer for a good price I have been playing with them for a while but kept them quiet as a suprise announcement! I really want to try a pair of the 12" models IB in a rear deck. The "E Series" is still coming... but I needed these sooner due to the extremely shallow depth. I was seeing a LARGE demand for a good shallow mount 10" woofer and decided to do a 12" version as well.

New woofers from Sundown Audio... the first run, which is available now, is a test run to see how these woofers stand with customers. I really like them myself and am proud to offer them. These woofers are 100% made in the USA of as many USA sourced parts as possible in a top quality factory. Sundown Audio will be offering the same warranty on our speakers as our amps -- 2 years limited / 5 year discounted replacement and the same applies to these even if they do *not* stay on board as a permanent product. If these are well received more will be built and they will stay on board as a permanent addition. These will be one notch below the "E Series" woofers previously discussed. The first run has no logos at all... if I keep these on as a permanent addition they will have a logo from the next run on. PARAMETERS AND ENCLOSURE SPECS: SD-1 10" / SD-1 12" RMS: 200 watts / 200 watts Max: 350 watts / 400 watts Z: 8 ohms / 8 ohms Re: 6.93 ohms / 7.03 ohms Fs: 25 Hz / 26 Hz Qms: 8.8 / 10.83 Qes: 0.36 / 0.53 Qts: 0.34 / 0.51 VAS: 67 L / 100 L BL: 17.5 NA / 17.0 NA MSRP: $110 / $125 Enclosure recommendation is: 0.5 - 0.75 ft^3 sealed on the 10" 0.75 - 1.0 ft^3 sealed on the 12" 1.00 - 1.25 ft^3 @ 30 - 35 Hz Ported on the 10" 1.75 - 2.25 ft^3 @ 30 - 35 Hz Ported on the 12" These are both 8 ohm coils designed to work as a pair with the SAX-100.2 amplifier. They are very efficient and will do exceptionally well with that amount of power.

For anyone that is confused... I have a small woofer that is launching in the next few days called the "SD-1" which is a single 8 ohm driver available in 10" and 12" sizes with a $110 and $125 MSRP respectively (lower at dealers when quoted). More information is coming soon... I've been quiet about these ones since when I announce products ahead of time I get 20 PMs each day asking me if they are in yet Anyway... more info soon.

I always prefer higher idle alternators as much of the time your RPMs will really not be very high at all, even at 45 - 55 mph.

A 200 amp will work fine. A 300 amp would be better, but not necessary.

The only problem with 16 volts daily is that your alternator needs to be charging at around 18 volts. It is the 18 volts that is hard on the amps -- they are fine for comps with that, but 18 volts is alot to ask daily, especially for the large power supply caps.

It would do at least 160 if you just had more duct tape on that box -- I don't see any! Free dee-beez Heh, nice score! Keep it up.

What would you guess the output would be ? Scott, Full power testing is in the sticky post: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7116 Dopey posted the most relevant figure for you.

First run is coming mid to late June... all of those are spoken for by the Team. Second run is coming mid to late July -- they will be available to regular customers then. They have an MSRP of $1099 and you would need to get in touch with a dealer for pricing. I don't have any plans for a pre-sale on this one.

Oh... perhaps I confused you guys. When I wrote: Hmmm... not really normal, no. That was in reference to Audio-Neon when he stated his 1500D was noisy --- Yes, that is correct. CRXs are very receptive to SPL.

They will handle it just fine with the electrical listed in your sig -- but won't be covered under warranty if purchased after March 31st.
