Well, i bought the BL 12" about month ago and right when i was building box for it, i traded vehicles. I thought when I got this expedition I was going to want something alot bigger than just 1 12". So, I got a box designed for 2 BL 15's and had decided thats what i was going to do. But, I already had the 12" and a sundown 1500d, so I went ahead and threw together a box, and my wife has been wanting to fiberglass, so she finished it saturday night and I got it put in last night. Now, after playing it all day, I am amazed how good this 1 12" sounds. I still have stock electrical for now, as I thought i would upgrade it when i got 2 15's. But now, I am pretty set on keeping this setup for awhile, then later maybe run 2 12's. Will post pics later today before i go to work. Just wanted to say that FI is awesome company, and this is by far best sub I have owned.

i didnt see other post til now, but no she doesnt have a sister. LOL

lol, She loves stereo's too. She had a 2000 grand prix gt with a JL 12w7 with rockford bd1500 on it. Now she has 07 Honda Fit, small car, and she wanted something that she did all by herself. So, she built fiberglass box ported with 2 Punch 6.5"s with Punch 45 on them. Small stereo for small car, but sounds very good. Now she is working on a new box for 2 tang band 6.5"s midbass woofers with a different amp. She really likes it, she did all work on hers, sanding, bondoing, everything, then started back to UA and just carpeted it. I will make other post and get her to post some pics of her stuff

when i go to the FI site, goto speakers, click the BL series, nothing shows up. The rest work, just the BL. I want to order my new subs but...

i already got the amp, would 1 saz1500d be enough for 2 BL 18s until i can sell the 1500d to get a 3000d?

that program looks like google sketchup, i downloaded it, but what i have made on there looks nowhere near as good as that. I have played around with it some, but need some time with it. would i be better with port like that in the middle or 1 that goes all way across box. thanks jayson for design also

Without going over my windows and taking the whole back up, i have 40" D x 46" W x 22" H, which is 11.8 cubes gross, will that be enough for 2 BL 18's? It says to use 5-10 cubes each, thats a wide range, i guess depending on power to them mostly. I will be running 2 saz1500d's strapped to them. I have more room than that if needed, just want to leave a little space for batteries and amps.

its going in 97 expedition and want it tuned around 32-34hz. I think the second post i made is going to work out pretty good. I will order subs and anothe 1500d next week and hopefully start box by monday.

after doing some better measuring, i have 46.5" W x 24" H x 30" D, which is around 16.5 cubes gross, after sub and port displacement will that be enough

thanks again, i read all these post about strapping, then i read them again, and to be sure again. LOL. i got it now. Now i order my D2's, another amp, and i have a 1400 and 2000 kinetik, maybe i will get another 2000

ok, thanks as always. I am going to go ahead and order another 1500d next week. If i am going to strap both 1500d's together what subs do i get D1 or D2? i know run D2 to each amp is 1 ohm load, but didnt know if it was different with 2 amps strapped? thanks found it i think: i run 2 D2's to a 2 ohm load then hook up like this pic http://www.sundownaudio.com/images/SAZ-1500D_Strapping2.jpg i have always had just 1 big amp runnin my subs in the past, so i am just making sure what i need to order next week. sorry for so many questions.

thanks for replies, i will probably just sell the 1500d and go ahead and get the 3000d. it will be easier to sell amp while it is brand new than used i would imagine.

right now i have 1 1500d that i havent even taken out of box yet. I was going to run 1 12" BL, but now i have traded vehicles. Now thinking of running 2 15's or 2 18s. Since i already have the 1 1500d, which would draw less current running 2 1500d's or just 1 3000d? I may just sale the 1500d just to make easier on the wiring. thanks

Ok i was building fiberglass console for my 12" BL to be run off saz-1500d. Now I havent even taken anything out of box or used any of it yet, and probably trading vehicles this weekend. Now I will be putting stuff in 97 expedtion. My sub is BL 12" with most options except spl and flatwind. I have plenty of room for whatever in this vehicle, so i will probably sale the 12" BL. If i wanted to run some 18" Q's, how would 1 saz1500d run both of them, or should I just get 2 BL 18s with 2 saz1500ds? If i didnt already have my amp, i would just buy 3000d. I have kinetik 1400 to go up front and 1 2000 kinetik now for the back. Let me know any other suggestions also. thanks

i couldnt edit post, but i meant how would the 1 saz1500d push 2 BL 18's? I know its not really enough for 2, or i could just sell my amp to and buy a 3000d.

i have had a couple pioneer 980's that had ground problems, then on the 3rd one i had for over a year with no problems. Now i havent had a stereo in almost a year ( bought a bike and never drive truck), now i am putting stereo in truck. I would like the new 800prs, but have still read of many people having trouble with pioneer ground problems. What headunit does everyone use comparable to the pioneer? Locally, only choices here are pioneer, very few being premier models, alpine, and some lower end kenwoods. thanks for help

I decided to go with 2 sets of CDT components. If i decide to run them active, can i run all 4 tweeters off channels 1 and 2, then run all 4 mids off channels 3 and 4? This should be 2 ohms all channels? thanks

cool, thats still good to know. I know i dont ever see 2 many 2 ohm components.

I see that it says 160x4 at 2 ohms. This might be stupid question, but i havent ever had any 2 ohm speakers, but the RE XXX comps are 2 ohm. Can 2 channels run 2 ohm and the other 2 run 4 ohm? Or should i run 2 sets of xxx components? thanks for help before i order

nevermind, i am just going to run 2 sets of the RE6.5 comps instead of the xxx series.

Thanks, i will post updates as i get started on everything. My BL came in today, so will post more pics later

well, i ordered both my amps earlier this week, and sundown has very fast shipping. Hopefully will have everything hooked up in couple weeks, it will be hard to wait, but i will be working 7 days a week for at least 2 weeks. Pics and new cd player came in also today:

well, i got on here for bout the last year, and decided i wanted to get back into some stereo's. Anyway last week i ordered a 12" BL with options, and decided to go ahead and get my amps too. So, I just ordered a saz-1500D and a SAX-100.4. I am anxious to get all hooked up, I have always bought stuff locally or a few things from woofersetc.com. So, pretty excited to try something besides kicker, alpine, mtx, crossfire, jl, or rockford. Thats bout all there is here. Will post pics when i get them. Thanks sundown, again

that was probably it, i just did it. I am pretty excited, after reading all the great stuff about sundown on this site and some other sites also.

this is one i had, was good enough for me, place is 4alterstart.com http://superpageshosting.com/4alterstartco...mp;catuid=10013
