Clipping is when the wave becomes squared off when you over-drive an amplifier -- it has a higher average power and therefore delivers and consumes more energy (can also blow speakers due to the higher average power).

How exactly are all of your knobs set now ? Honestly it's not easy to thermal protect one of those amps -- especially this time of year. Likely clipping is still present. If bass boost isn't yet all the way down -- turn it the test of the way down.

These pre-sales will be ending in about ~3-4 weeks.

Fuses blow when too much current is drawn -- therefore you must be clipping the amp pretty extensively and drawing excessive current to blow the fuses as they will handle what the amp is supposed to produce no problem. For reference... gain is not a volume knob. If you have a decent head unit RCA voltage it probably doesn't need to be turned even half way up to produce full output.

It's about the same as other mid-level 15s @ ~0.19 cubes.

Yes. Just regular goods purchase.

http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/showthread.php?t=60051 A collection of threads about SA series woofers being awesome I'm going to keep the central thread on CACO to make it easier to update. What am I missing ? I am trying to compile all of the best threads about the SA series woofers as I keep seeing threads like "Is the SA-12 any good?" -- linking this thread would be a quick way to answer AND give good information.

Please ask these question on the OA forum on CACO -- it is not related to Sundown.

2xSA12 + SAZ2500D = 149.4 dbs - SMD Forum Originally posted on SMD by Greg Kashin. ---------- There was a regional comp this weekend and one of the Team Sundown guys was there to take the first place trophy :yahoo: car: Opel Astra OPC subs: 2x SA12's d2 amp: SAZ2500D 72Ah lead-acid under the hood and a Stinger 2150 in the back 149.4 at the comp dbrag legal sealed on the TL here's a vid testing the system a few hours prior to the comp: pics are a few and blurry...hoping to get more info on this later -- here's a nice video of the same car with just one SA12

If there are no unusual shipping delays -- they are leaving my factory in 2 days.

All the parts are being tooled to work well with any future crazy designs I come up with -- so if I decide to do an ultra high excursion low distortion 8" later on... well, I have a surround that takes 35mm one-way already

Concept drawings of cone / surround for this design. We are going a different route that planned earlier on in the NEO-8 thread as this frame allows even more clearance than the one we had considered. The surround supports 35mm one-way throw.

Funny thing is the reason I tooled the new style case was for this amp but didn't end up making this amp yet

We are working on a cheaper 50.4 with a bit less crossover features... also a smaller 2 channel... two smaller Class-D amps... ... and yes, eventually a behemoth two channel.

Been busy with other stuff I suppose.

The Nightshades do like to play low

The 2.5" coil version will handle every bit as much as the SA-10s and 12s do... same mechanical clearance, same spider size, same coil size. So it will be a monster for sure... no doubt about it. Honestly should sound pretty good too... many folks really enjoy the SA line for SQ oriented systems.

Got pushed back a bit... but may re-visit it once the 200.4 gets out and settled in. We are seeing more demand for monster multi-channels than we did in 2007

It'll be a bit still... frame needs to be tooled and so do cones, surrounds, spiders, etc.

They will still be "eights" as the cone area is actually more accurately from an 8" cone.

Cool One day I'll have to pick up some Russian.

ÎÒÂ-Ïðèì >> [PRO] Òà÷êè: àâòîçâóê êàê îí åñòü First car is a SQ ride with one SA-12 -- I caught a "Sundown Audio" around 6 minutes (I don't understand Russian so that is all I got). At around 8 minutes they get into the Team Sundown Russia Mitsubishi Pajero ground pounder with four SA-12s. Looks like audio is big time in Russia with a 15-minute segment on car audio !!!

Only one item left.

Something we are working on... Was designed around the needs of our NEO-8 project : Project I'm Working On - Car Audio Classifieds But will eventually find it's way into other projects... I've started a new Ferrite 8" design to be used with this frame... depending on the cost / performance may move up to X8 designation (based on motor the size of the SA-12). It is a bit over-sized from a standard 8" cut-out and OD but that was needed to get a large spider on an eight finally ETA not set yet... but keep your eyes out !
