The knob will only go as high as the gain on the amp. It is ONLY a gain reducer, it can never go higher than your amp gain setting.

Excellent, I was hoping Mike still had the pics

You want a low ESR... you want high amp hours, reserve capacity, cranking amps, and cold cranking amps. Buy a Kinetik, thats a safe bet.

Using one + and one - is fine.

Not sure if my memory is correct, wasn't it manny? Yep, his is the only catastrophic failure that I have seen to date.

Sure thing, thats okay with me

Protos aren't here yet. I will have pictures of the 15" version only at first, probably next week. The 12" prototype is delayed. Not too much information is being released yet except that they are quite large

Wish I could say this one was happening soon... priorities are looking like so: SAZ-3000D SAE-50.4 Nightshade SPL Woofers SAE-75.2 SAX-250.2

That is correct, you will get roughly 2000 watts strapped @ 2 ohms. The official rating is 1800 @ 2 ohms strapped but you should see closer to 2k with good voltage supply. I would expect around 200 amps of actual draw at full tilt... more like 150 amps with real music. I would suggest a large secondary 1000CA+ deep cycle for that and/or a HO alternator. Mike, That is fine. When I get production units in I'll just swap his out and save the other proto for you when you are ready to buy so yours will match! DaGh0st, These amps aren't crazy like the SAZ-1500D. Expect 1,000 watts RMS and no more, and don't expect to run 1/2 ohm on these either. But, I consider them a good value and their small footprint will be great for alot of folks. Warranty is the same as all Sundown amps. Two years standard limited warranty, with the 5 year offer for a discounted replacement no matter what (if you dropped it out of your car on the highway and can send in the carcass you can buy a new one directly from me at a discount compared to a new one -- as an example).

Mike, A friend of mine has the other proto. I can swap his out for you wehn the production models come in so your two will look the same.

Sounds great! You are hard at work

Chad, The last proto is in a friends car right now, if I can get together with him I'll bring it.

It will be capable of 0.5 ohm usage but I am dropping 0.5 ohm warranty coverage as of Match 31st. Nothing has changed with the amps but it became a big hassle for me to troubleshoot improper installs. It will put out very close to the same amount of power as two 1500Ds. Actual numbers are pending testing but I expect it to put out *slightly* less power than a pair of 1500Ds, but very close.

Yep, Rich very kindly offered to help him out Very stand up guy that gives the sport a good name.

I'm working on quite a few things Once the amp line is filled out and a few sub lines are established component speakers will follow... but I wouldn't expect that for over a year.

Edited to include answers.

Had another one made... the last proto was destroyed in shipping so didn't show up with the rest of the bunch! * Slightly larger than the SAZ-1500D 250 x 2 @ 4 ohms 500 x 2 @ 2 ohms * 1000 x 1 @ 4 ohms * * Rough numbers, pending testing.

Not this time around.

I am opening the pre-order for the SAE-1000D as of today. Pre-Order Pricing: 1x SAE-1000D = $250 2x SAE-1000D = $450 MSRP pricing is $399 per amplifier. The due date is April 25th but these things tend to be 1 - 2 weeks late due to delays in transit so that is not a guaranteed ship date. I would expect to ship these, realistically, by May 9th. If you are in a rush I would not place a pre-order due to the possibility of delays. Paypal to [email protected] -- these prices include shipping in the USA. If you want to pre-order in Canada you must contact Steve Ross @ Smart Auto Sound Solutions in Canada. Pre-Order will be open until April 25th, after that you will have to wait until dealers get them! Specifications: 1000W x 1CH @ 1 ohms 600W x 1CH @ 2 ohms 300W x 1CH @ 4 ohms 25A x 3 fuses 260(W) x 51(H) x 294(L)mm Other specs are roughly the same as the SAZ-1500D. Final cosmetics will look like the new proto SAE-75.2 and SAE-50.4 amplifiers. The circle graphic was dropped and the size of the "Sundown Audio" text was increased.

They can, people do it all the time. When installed properly and backed with a good electrical system. I am simply not going to officially support or warranty that load any longer since SO many people get them and do not install them properly and I end up getting all sorts of calls.

SOLD.

I'll get it linked back on the main page later tonight.

Pics work for me on 3 different computers on 3 different ISPs Might have been temporarily busy. Used amps usually go fast!

Damn kids Let us know if you can still make it.
