It means the 10s will be flatter and sound better ported. The 12" model tends to have a large peak ported.

Indeed... I don't want too much overlap. 99% of people that buy 1000 watt amps don't need them to do 1/2 ohm or 18 volts Buy a big boy for that

http://www.db-r.com They do great work.

They work in TINY enclosures... 99% of the people that bought them before the close-out sale used them in truck boxes. 0.5 ft^3 with some polyfill is no problem... could even go a hair smaller with a denser poly stuffing. my biggest concern is i'm a big guy and i need all the room i can get in that truck of mine. . . if i go with three of them, i can make a box that will give them about .48 ft^3 each, but if i go for 4 of them its closer to .38 ft^3 each. . .and thats if i put them in one common chamber. . . i might be able to go slightly bigger, but i'm thinking only .1 or .2 ft^3 each at the very most. . . the price you pay for being a large man and loving to drive mini trucks i guess. . . 0.48 is absolutely fine with just a little stuffing. 0.38 can be done but would require around a pound of poly per woofer... IMHO, the Qtc would still be a hair too high. I'd advise going with three and the larger box per woofer.

Indeed. Now they are going to be used in home audio in those PE boxes. I think they are .8 cf and you didn't mention them needing any polyfill. 0.8 is big enough that Poly isn't needed. They already have a 0.690 Qtc in that size. If you prefer an even lower Qtc you can stuff some poly in there if you like

Still more to go!

It will be an SAZ-2000D model. I am actually going to start prototyping this model soon.

I am considering a 2kw model, yes.

Moved to the Amps section from the Sundown Audio section.

Awesome! Congrats!

It is still for sale

SAE-1500D Prototype - $200 shipped in the continental USA SOLD to fuzzyping! The heatsink on the prototype is not the heatsink that will be used for production and is one of two prototypes made in this case. This prototype does not make full rated power, but is good for around 1000 watts RMS @ 12.8 volts / 1200 watts RMS @ 14.4 volts into a 1 ohm load per my testing. The next revision of this prototype is under construction and will address the low power output as production models will easily meet their 1500 watt rating @ 13.8 volts (as all SAE amps are to be rated). This unit has 4 awg input terminals and 3x 40 amp fuses. ------ Unnamed Prototype - $250 shipped in the continental USA This prototype is good for around 1400 watts @ 12.8 volts / 1600 watts @ 14.4 volts into a 1 ohm load per my testing. This model will likely never reach production at Sundown Audio. It does have a "hum" sound at idle emanating from the power supply due to low duty cycle, this wouldn't be noticed in a trunk at all and does quiet down when the amp is presented with a load. This unit has 1/0 input terminals and no internal fusing. ------ These protos are sold with no warranty other than a non-DOA guarantee. I just finished re-testing them and they work fine. I am clearing out space here for new products coming in, so these need to go!

The 10" models do spec better ported. Yes, two 10s will have more output than one 12.

The currently listed "used" 1500Ds are the last of the Team trade-ins. All four 1500Ds were traded in from Team Sundown members that upgraded to SAZ-3000Ds for competition. Due to a poor reaction from e-bay sales all future sales of b-stock, used, and refurbished amps will take place direct on this forum only after these five auctions are over. You won't be seeing them available for the, quite literally, ridiculously low ending prices of some of the e-bay auctions that have taken place over the last two months. So, if you were holding off thinking that the auctions will keep coming -- consider this your last chance.

Yes... it is likely just amp turn-off thump. As long as it's not incredibly loud and causing your subs to move an inch... then it won't hurt anything.

Here is a review for you, written by an Audison dealer: http://forum.realmofexcursion.com/showthre...sundown+audison He seems to like it and he sells Audison for a living! Actually, he bought the SAX-100.4 demo unit from me after the review

I think you will do pretty well with your updates to the setup.

They are available now at all authorized dealers. I get that question alot... do I still have "coming soon" somewhere? Just curious... I must have something on the site as I do get that alot

Still plenty to go around... for now!

We will know that soon Stay tuned! This BM is monster... I'm quite excited to see how it does. It actually has a thicker magnet slug than the current generation Mag if you couldn't tell from the photo!

BEAST!

Well, they are underrated thermally... but the BM will reach ~16mm of x-max with 400 watts in darn near any box except @ tuning ported. This isn't a bad thing, it just means they are efficient.

Nick, Need me to post the pic up? Let me know.

I did. I will have two SAZ-3000D in it at first, and will add more later... I might be getting some custom 18" SI Mags made for it as well
