Brandon says he e-mailed you back.

We are working on adding staff this year in the summer time to help with the work-load -- for your particular order we are waiting for updated DDP quote with the 4500D taken off.

We got the tweeters in -- active at the moment -- sound is awesome for the expected price point. Next we will test the passive crossovers.

Physical comparison to the Hybrid Clarus tweeter that Nick has been running : Similar form factor - obviously much different designs inside. HAT is on the right.

We have a good bit of testing and tweaking to do to get them market ready but so far I am pleased for a first sample set. We'll keep you guys updated as always !

I've had my dealers asking me for years for a shallow component set so I started on one... here are some sneak peeks of the first sample set. We are testing them in Nick's car since he is a big SQ guy They are VERY shallow and will fit in any application I can imagine. For a driver this shallow excursion is not bad; obviously not a super high throw driver but crossover over steeply at 80 Hz will do nicely. So far we've tested the mid and we are very pleased for the depth and cost... Overall set price would be under $200 from an authorized dealer.

Below text compose by Mike Bruno for the sale of these drivers. We are not re-building them; Mike is. All after sales support will be handled by Mike by his terms on these refurbished drivers. PM: woofercooker – or preferably – e-mail: [email protected] for inquiries. ---------- I will be selling Sundown’s inventory of SA-8s that have either failed quality control testing or were returned by customers. Each of these woofers were tested by Jacob and found to have a defect in the coil alignment or other cosmetic / performance defects. I will be refurbishing these woofers with the latest OEM SA-8 parts and reselling them to the public. Many of these have never been mounted or powered other than to check for coil alignment or other defects; some are warranty returns so will be used motors, though. Buyers will receive 100% fully functional refurbished Sundown Audio SA-8 woofers. As I said, some of these have been used before so there may be some signs of use on the motors. The baskets and soft parts are all guaranteed to be brand new. Available in D2 and D4 coils.

The size of the NS-1 will be larger than the 4500D length-wise but it's not twice as big or anything -- I've said many times in the past that I don't like SUPER large amps for reliability, practicality, and repair cost reasons. I am estimating under 30" long right now depending on final layout considerations.

We rate the 8s for 100 RMS -- but your slope is pretty steep... hit me up when they come in.

That's why Sundown is an innovator not an imitator I'm not saying its a bad thing having a openly tooled board, but when the company acts like it is far better than the rest WITH the same or very similar board. That's what gets me. Jake, is Sundown planning on release any other amps in the future? Or is the line pretty full for the moment? I'm ready to see what the sister company has to offer...You ever get any protos for these? I have several smaller amps planned for Sundown -- on the big side I may do a large two channel. For Obsidian -- I should have prototypes in the near future.

The 3500D was our first fully custom tooled board for Sundown -- it turned out great Then we went on to do the 2500D, 1500D v.2, and SAX-1200D boards... and now the NS-1 so the full Class-D line will be tooled up how we want it. If I do anything to the 3500D it would be next year at the earliest.

I have not started on nor am I currently planning any revisions for the 3500D at this time.

The amps should have the same sound as one another at the same volume level -- simply be sure all the knobs are matched exactly between the two setups.

Much more powerful... not a crazy big amp that is totally impractical... but will be very useful for many large builds.

I hate to be a nosey nellie but will it still retain the classic Sundown Casing? It will retain the 4500D casing -- which is quite similar to the other amps but wider.

There is one for your order -- I counted remaining stock and all pending orders can be filled. We will replace it within 3-4 months with the NS-1 model.

SAX-1200D : Sold out - more due in 3-4 weeks. SAZ-1500D v.2 : Sold out - ETA pending. SAZ-4500D : Sold out and discontinued. We have opted to cease production on the 4500D now that stock is depleted. ANNOUNCEMENT : The 4500D is stepping down as our flag-ship amplifier to be replaced by a new, more powerful unit... the "NS-1" -- more details to follow.

Correct - I put it in the PDF.

SA-8s like 0.5 to 0.6 ported each -- but that is alot of power.

Usually I cannot do Rockford stuff.

Good stuff... I always tell people to just spend the money on batteries and get good ones! XS Power is my first suggestion.

I'll ship them out to the customer on Monday - I was pleased with the results. I think they will suit him nicely.

The new spacer is 20mm thick vs ~12mm on the stock spacer pack. We use a spacer on our SA line and upcoming Z v.3 line for the same reason -- so the triple joint ring doesn't hit the top plate

Per original post : "The new spacer was needed to make clearance for the triple joint ring so it will not hit the extended neck on the top plate." The black frame looks nicer
