Sundown is an American Based Company so his money stays in the good ol' USA!

Check the Sundown section

Sorry if this has already been posted but i couldnt find anything whats the price on these guys when there available again. i would like to grab 2.

Imo they sound fine sealed but I think you would be better off running ported. You youngins like da' bass lol.

This not an "SQ" build. Your asking for trouble stating it is an "SQ" build. Your basically looking for a good all around daily setup. If wanting an all Sundown system then the E8v.2 is what you will be wanting. They can go as small as .6ft^3 per sub ported tuned to 35hz. With your listening tastes and amplifier power I think this will be a great start.

These are a very sturdy 500 watt rms driver. I would not hesitate to use a pair on an Sundown SAX-1200D amplifier or something similar in power output. They will use the same box sizes as the SA line.

Make sure your subs are not wired out of phase! Easy to do when wiring up that many woofers.

Nice review and good job following the giveaway rules.

A lot choices out there. Look for an OEM replacement or an AGM from XS, Kinetik, Odyessey, Deka etc.

Replace your starting battery as the other one is dead!

Try sending an email again to Jacob. They are extremely busy and I know he has been training a new employee. Sundown will make it right for you.

Did you buy it from Woofers Etc.? Use the contact form on the website for a quick response. http://www.sundownaudio.com/index.php/contact-us.html

The new Alpha Damp tiles I see are bigger than SDS CLD Tiles but still a rip off of Don's hard work imo.

Really no need to "Break In" as the suspension will loosen up over time. DD and AQ are really the only 2 companies that recommend "Break In" due to the multiple spider set up they use.

A blatant rip off of SDS' CLD Tiles! Typical over priced product from Ant.

Whatl is PB? Peanut Butter? Pic or it didn't happen!

I saw the prices posted and thought I better bring it to SSA's attention. I remember reading where Stetsom did not want any online pricing posted due to undercutting ... Oh the irony. My thoughts exactly.

I wouldn't call it marketing hype. And I think most people miss the original intent of the standard (see Julian's comments above). It was meant to provide a standard by which amplifier measurements were to be conducted and the results/performance reported and advertised in order to provide an equal basis of comparison. It wasn't meant to "prove" what the delivered power in your vehicle would be (i.e. with less than 14.4V), it wasn't meant to indicate what level of distortion was audible, etc. But when you had some amps rated at 12.5V @ 1% THD and other amps rated at 17V @ 5% THD, or listing "max" power figures only, it was more difficult and confusing for customers to make an informed decision because all they would look at was the wattage amount and not how that wattage was determined. The CEA-2006 standard provided a standard basis of comparison by identifying a specific set of test conditions by which compliant amplifiers are measured and rated. The only reason 14.4V was chosen was because that was the only way headunit manufacturer's would agree to use the standard. Is it perfect? No. But it might be better than no testing standard at all. Is it going to be precisely indicative of the performance in your car? Well no, but non-CEA-2006 rating methods don't necessarily provide that information either. Is it possible to cheat? Sure, but who says the non-CEA-2006 guys aren't lying and/or cheating too? Is it "marketing hype"? Not really, it provides and equal basis for comparing two amplifiers which is something the industry didn't have previously. Logically speaking it has nothing to do with marketing as it's simply a test methodology that provides an equal basis for comparison. At some point we could call all amplifier ratings "marketing hype" in some manor. That said I do understand why some manufacturer's chose not to participate. But I think most consumers don't actually understand the intent of the standard. It was never about marketing or the performance itself, it was about providing a level playing field by standardizing testing methods. Like I said, it's not perfect (really, what standards are?) and I do understand the issues with it, but atleast understand what it's intentions were and were not. Very informative! We should sticky this as it will be benefical to all. Thanks for the insight. I always heard it was "Marketing Hype" from so many different people. Didn't know what to think.

Nice lineup! Any prices yet?

Don't we all!

Love the look of the new XP Battery! Will the XP line have various sizes available? Pricing?

Looks good! Can you teach me to use Sketchup like that ...
