sundown blows !!!!!!!!

[alexj01_83 6]

Dang i have never had an amp so powerful. i got home from iraq and strapped my two sundown 3000ds together.i used 4 gauge on the negatives and and 8 gauge going to the speakers. got rid of the mtx 12's and put two dd 3512's my trunk two i already had(four all together now). the new ones never had a chance they both went out gotta send em back they didn't burn up just got stuck. its hard not to play em loud when that's all your amps know is loud. i couldn't even put everything on the meter.something happened to my slave amp have to send it back. when i get everything back i will just use one amp to break everything in. the two sundowns are more efficient than my one stetsom was. with both amps my voltage never went below 13.0 volts with just the one it never went below 14.8 stayed around 15.2 i love these amps so much power but with power comes responsibility. so when i get everything back i will have to break it in slow. but thanks Jacob for making more power than i will ever need.

Wow! When I first read the title I was like WTF?! Very misleading, but sounds like good feedback after reading.

You need 1/0 now!! Nice woofers though!

I remember correctly I was told that 4awg can flow up to 140 amps, and at a dead short in the wire 2342 watts....... I think....

my power wire is 1/0 im using four guage for the negatives on the speaker term on the amps when i strap em. is that what u are saying.

Man, you need to be nicer to your equipment!

i didn't realize these amps where so powerful.... for real no bs

[alexj01_83 6]

i tried to break em them in but it was loud no matter how low i played it ( no pun intended )

Just as long as your main power wires going into the 12+ and - on the amps are 1/0 I'm happy

Time to invest in Sundown subs, they take the power.

[alexj01_83 6]

quick question if u run a 3000d at half an ohm do u keep the same fuse or change it because it will pull more power right i have a 300 amp fuse in it now i had it at half ohm popped the fuse didnt go into protect replaced the fuse then put it back two 1 ohm everything is fine... just wondering.... btw the voltage didnt drop below 14.0v when it was at half ohm.

[sundownz 197]

If you pop a 300-amp fuse with one 3000D you need to turn it down

I don't pop 300-amp fuses with 3500Ds on 18v and 1/2 ohm

yes indeed, i bought the other two dd's because i had two already. the ones i already had i had hooked to one 3000 at half ohm they took the power nicely. the screws broke holding one speaker though and it fell out the box all that power is tearing stuff up. but yes sundown subs are in my future

Nice choice in amps!

what kinda fuse did you use in this test could the ones i have be of poor quality

With high power like that, mistakes are costly. One small imperfection can cause disaster with this stuff. One of my Nightshade dustcaps had an imperfection and it blew off one day, taking some of the cone with it. Be careful with your bumping.

i also found that not having enough amp hours worth of cells would make my 300 amp CB trip....

i ran 3 yellow tops on 1 saz 3000d and found my self tripping CB's......

what im trying to say is....

4 or 5 yellow tops IMO would not be enough for 2 saz 3000d's and you will find your self with the same problem....

as far as half ohm... never tryed it i like my warrenty.

[sundownz 197]

My fuses are Stinger.

when u did run with three batteries what was your voltage drop because usually your amp doesn't try to pull to much current unless your voltage drops to low right ?? as voltage decreases amperage increases and vice verse ??

[alexj01_83 6]

also is there a certain lenght the rca cant be when u are going from br in and br out ????
