I hope that means the SR series comps are gonna get cheaper!!!

Can't wait!!! Webster will be dealt with!!!

hello and welcome!!!

hi jim----hi Ramos

I would need each to do a review---cough***cough** and as everyone that knows me knows I can beat the shit out of amp.

next is a side by side comparioson of the Revo vs. the Sundown!!! LET'S GET IT ON!!!

same goes for the output-------the Enya song was rated the same.

well---since the song doesn't have alot of imapct bass---there the score suffers----if the song had impact the score would have been lower----i guess you could say it was lack of impact was 10/10

Introduction---- Well what can I say----Sundown Audio has not let me down with this amp---- from the solid weight and good size footprint you know you have some power in your hands---- the look of my "1200 watt" amp was kinda plain with stickers on it(which I think makes it look even better---the plain part) My first thoughts were---oh another 1500 watt class D amp(woop dee doo)----but I was mistaken..... Listening tests----- As a few of you might know I have listened to ALOT of amps for Ampman.com as a reviewer and was one of the first guys to listen to the Ampman Revolution D1500.1/ RE 35.1/ Better Audio 1600(all the same amp designed by Destnjli Engineering. The Revo. would be a close match to this amp so away we go!!! the set up----Pioneer DEX/DEQ P9 HU/EQ combo Sundown Audio 1500 @ 1 ohm Vifa 6.5 midbasses Vifa tweets Adire Audio Brahma 15 MKII 2.75 cubes sealed stock 160 amp alt in my 2005 Dodge Magnum I used a combo of the crossover from the amp and the P9 combo all JL Audio connects Crossover settings----sub--80Hz @ 30dBs mids--80Hz@30dBs & 5kHz@24dBs Tweets--2.5kHz@36dBs The listening test was done over a period of time(a few months, so I could really tune to each song) song one as always has been "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits the into has little bass but about 35seconds in the kick drum comes in----the Sundown amp played clean and controlled throughout the song good mixing with the Vifa Midbasses I am using!!! Tight is word thrown around alot so I will use "punchy" for this song impact--9/10 control--8.5/10 output--9/10 overall--9/10 song two----"what it is" by Busta Rhymes DAMN---that is one spicy meat ball!!!---I use this track to hear the REAL control of a subamp---there should be no over or underhang on the bass notes and the Sundown amp does this song justice and then some!!!great output great control---- should be a song for you to almost feel the control the amp has. impact--10/10 control--10/10 output--10/10 overall--10/10 song three was "only time" by Enya there was alittle too much rumble with the deeper notes on this track at first----after changing the bass settings on the HU it was smooth,soft and detailed---did NOT sound like a typical Class D amp---I listened to this track 2 times in a row and it just sounded great!! the blending of the bass to midbass was phenomenal! impact--5/10 control--8.5/10 output--4/10 overall--8/10 (since this wasn't a street CD that many people would crank I judged all the tracks the same) SQ track---I mean song four was "Temptation" by Diana Krall I made no changes from the previous tracks settings and it was great----subtle,soft,detailed and great control(I can't seem to get this across enough---this amp controls your sub(s) great. The upright bass was full and you could pick up the sound of body of the instrument---the overall sound is good like you are in a jazz club yourself. impact--4/10 control--9/10 output--4/10 overall--9/10 now that the listening test has been done all I can say is-----"ROAD TRIP!!!" Picture this----you have your class D amp running at 1 ohm(no vents) and it is in the mid 90's and you are going on a 175 round way trip I SLAMMED the hell out of this amp for over 1 hour straight in that temp and I NEVER had it even hick-up----this amp is bullet-proof!! now I ain't gonna lie---the amp got hot----but it never got "HOT"---- conclusion----The Sundown 1500 is one of, if not THE best Class D I have reviewed---output,power,and overall control were all top notch. I have a soft spot in my heart for my Revolution D1500.1 but the "Revo" is just a brute force amp and lacks the control and the impact ability that you get with the Sundown Audio 1500---and they both do 1500 watts so you are not sacrificing power to sound good either.

well my 3 moth review of the prototype "1200 watt" amp is in Jacob's hands-----just letting you guys know

same here PaulD

That is why I have about 350 on my mids and highs(each)----headroom=good thing

shanna honestly expects me to pay 1/2 of the fee to end her lease just because i'm the guarantor (sp?) "her lease?"-----from what I have heard from YOU----you are the one living there now and not the one that feels threatened-----I will pay the whole damn "Fee" and you 2 can be done and overwith---if you have a problem with that---please call----I will expect your half paid to ME---not Shanna--I am tired of hearing the stories---not just from Shanna either.

not every amp has to be 10000000 watts and sound like ass!! There are some people that like low poered amps that sound good----what a dumb response

Matt----I haven't and I won't pick sides----and I can promise you there will be no drama here PERIOD!!! I'm sorry everything went south but BOTH of you still have friends here in Heather and I

I sold the 12's for $50 to Ramos

how come it is that I have never been happy with an "out of the box" comp. set?----DIY is far better---most of the time it is cheaper and YOU can match up tweets to mids easier.

try it both ways----see which YOU think is better----me I use the DEQ(dual 31 band eq/TA/ and 4 way crossover with adjustable slopes and points) PLUS the Crossovers from an Alpine SPX 177a set(2001 type X stuff-----IIRC the crossovers are 24dBs on the woofer and 30dBs on the Tweeter with built in tweeter protection(I also use smaller filters close to the tweet themselves)-----play around with it and tell me which sounds best to you

I am still reviewing the Prototype sub-amp

It really is not as simple as it seams If you use both the crossover slope will increase---- the passives from the Comps.=12dBs per octave and the internal of the amp= 18 or 24dBs(whatever it is rated at) so the total slope would be 30dBs----you have to reolize that for ever order slope(6dBs) phase and response is going to suffer(might not sound differant but on a RTA it would) so more is not always better any other questions shoot

if you port it and tune low you should still have great output and have good SQ also.

well the whole set-up is for sale now---see the "for sale section"

anyone that knows me-----ANY House of Pain song!

it was NOT fun-----DAMN All Z3's!!!
