Who wants to know what it is ?

Here is a hint... it's 1" longer than the SAZ-1000D and it will actually replace the 1000D once the next run of 1000Ds is sold (so if you need one get one).

I'll be opening pre-sale soon... coming in with the 2500Ds.

Hmmm if your staying in the SAZ series is it a SAZ-500D or maybe a SAZ-750D? shrug.gif

Im thinking SAZ-1250D, I dont know but Im curious by nature so tell me. :peepwall:

He said it's an inch longer... So maybe.... an SAZ-1250D?

Ahh you beat me to it, were on the same page buddy :fing34:

I was thinking 1250 too since he said it will be replacing the 1000d.

Close - calling it SAX-1200D (not Z series as it's not a 16v amp).

Will have more information soon :)

I broke from the "500" increment for this model and will do so for others under the 1500D as well in the future to fit our sub line.

Planning an SAX-800D as well to power a pair of 400-watt drivers, the SAX-1200D is for a pair of 600-watt drivers.

SAZ-1500D is staying around :)

Will there be more SAX Class D model amps in the future?

sounds perfect for my two sa-8s and would fit nicely with the sax125.2 and sax100.4

Will these be priced similar to the 1000D?

Gotta keep the 1500D as that is Sundown Classic!

Small ones... SAX-1200D and SAX-800D are planned now... may do a 400D later if demand exists and I can make it cost effective.

Did not expect a mono block SAX series.

* SAZ-1000D on left / SAX-1200D on right -- dual transformers and output inductors + new more powerful MOSFETs... all N channel outputs vs. N-P in the 1000D.

This is a newly tooled board for Sundown Audio... been testing it for a while. The initial prototype was about 200-watts stronger than the 1000D as expected... but I went a step farther and used higher powered FETs and we are expecting around 500-watts more than the 1000D from it. MAP price is $60 more than the 1000D for ~500 watts extra power -- not too bad if I say so myself :) Expected pricing on the SAX-800D will be a little under the SAZ-1000D for similar power output in reality (this model has NOT yet been started... so please don't ask for an ETA).

I'll get testing up on the revised prototype when I get my hands on it -- so far my testing has been on the first prototype.

Damn! I like the new look and layout! Pricing is awesome! Great Job!

Pre-ordering will open shortly... ETA is end of July as they are coming in with the SAZ-2500D.

Remember... if you need an SAZ-1000D I have a production run coming soon (see the May sale thread) -- that will be the last of them. So get one if you need one. I don't want to see a bunch of threads complaining like I saw with the 2000D being cut - so fair warning!

Nice, looks good!

Now i'm confused. It's a SAX model? How does it compare to the sae-1200dv2?

Very nice :fing34:

I'll test them head to head when my updated prototype comes in.

It is significantly smaller than the SAE-1200D v.2 and in a matching case to the SAX/SAZ line. It is not an SAZ level amp as it is not 16v stable... the SAZ-1000D really wasn't either and it causes confusion so I am taking amps that won't run 16v out of the SAZ line.

Can they be strapped?

I love the series SAZ :D

I'd like to see more than 4500D amplifiers, and especially, I'd like to see some class AB with high power stable to 1ohm

these would be very interesting products on our market
