So banginAltima & I picked up his new pair of Sundown Audio z15"s yesterday. I feel so priveleged cause I got to test them out in my Explorer 1st. My box is a very basic 6ft net volume. Powered by a single Sundown saz-1500d it burped a 149.5 and hit 148.1 on music playing some Kanye West. We're gonna do some more testing tomorrow and see what they can do at different power levels. No doubt this will easily burp over a 150db on the saz-2000d which will be the perfect amp for a pair of these subs. No doubt I'm underpowering them with the saz-1500d. After a 30 second full tilt run on music they were still cold to the touch and it was 80* here today. There isn't even the typical break-in smell with these subs. We can't wait to put more power on them. I believe we're gonna try burping them with a pair of saz-3000s tomorrow. :bigclap:

NightShade 15" left --- z15" right

Playing my BassRace song JayZ - Hello Brooklyn

Playing Kanye West - Heartless

I still have one more vid uploading on the TL while playing Heartless.

Very nice!!

Chad

Nice numbers!

Looking forward to see what these do on a pair of SAZ-3000's.

dustcap looks bigger on z15

It is....

Excellent work guys

Looks nice fellas

sealem up! i wanna see how they do sealed!

Did more testing today. 146.8db off the little saz-1000d.

Only 12" long.

150.1 with the saz-2000d.

151.1 with the saz-3000d.

I wonder what they'll do on the saz-3500d?

How well did they do on the 3000d? Were they hurting pretty bad?

These subs will handle the saz-3000d easily. Their 1,000watts rms is a tad under-rated. Maybe next round of testing we'll get to throw two of each amps on them.

Nice

151s from 3kwatts & 2 15"s that'll play music daily (on 12v below the window line). IMO that's doing alright. Sundown Audio adds the deebeezzz!

It wasn't until a full tilt run playing Late Night Tip that you could say they barely got warm. The cooling feature on these subs is working like a champ.

Very impressive! :bigclap:

How do these babies sound? Pretty good SQ or more for SPL?

These subs are great all around. They sound good and can get loud too.

Dang that's what I am shooting for, making this tough for me I was going to go XCON but these have me interested as well.

They have exceeded my expectations. I am so impressed that as soon as I can I am going to buy two more for my truck.

wow that's good news.

well seems like a 2000D is a perfect match for one of them.

Now I just need to see a comparison from someone between a Z15 and a XCON 15 when they release. Seems like that's what it's down to for me.

Since there are no 12"s available yet, will there be a presale on 12"s as well???

There will be, yes.

Niice! Think I'm gonna have to pick up two of them when they are in presale

My testing this morning on two Dual-2 Z15s on single prototype amp @ 1/2 ohm:

6930 actual true RMS clamped watts total.

Using my Extech True Power Meter... takes reading about 5-6 seconds in to the burp:

really good!

tests for 16-18v?

you tried to 12v?
