John think about it like this..... the 1.2k put out 1492 watts on the amp dyno during a dynamic run.... the 2.0k put out 2624 watts. On a good electrical system you can pretty much duplicate these results. With that being said, the 1.2k is more than enough to power the lvl2's. You could run the 2k if you wanted to bump up to lvl 3 subs with no issue. I would personally run the lvl2's with the 1.2k. Plus that is saving you $231 that you could then put towards some Sky High Car Audio wire or an XS Power Battery.
I get your point now, thanks

I would say tune to around 30-31hz so you can still hit the lows and play the higher songs also. If you want mainly lows I would say go around 28hz but you wont really get that SQ you want and wire to a 1ohm final impedance.
Thanks

For level 2 I would their 1.2k
And you got your impedance a wrong

I think i would rather go with the 2.0k, i know the 1.2 adds up to the 600 rms for the 2 subs, but shouldn't i stick with the extra watts just so i can get more power? because the subs are rated at a max of 1200 watts

Quick question for the people at Dc Audio. So i wanted to do 2 of the Dc audio level 2 12's on a 2.0k amp. Now i have a couple questions. Im the type of guy that likes to have some good sound quality and at the same time wreck the lows, so what should i tune these to in a ported box? Also should i go with the dual 2 ohm and bring them to 1 ohm, or the dual 4 ohm and bring them to 2 ohm final impedance? Thanks, all replies are appreciated
Hopefully i will become part of the DC audio club. -
Sundown is just an expensive option, a lot of companies are cheaper and the same quality, don't limit yourself to only two company options.
Yea i completely agree. thats why in my original post i let everyone know that all suggestions are welcome
-
The X is more expensive than the T2? Either you're looking in the wrong places for the X or you're getting a steal on a T2...
This^^
Sonic wants $750 for a T2
SSA wants $350 for the X
$530 for a ZV4
im sorry i meant the zv4, i found a t2 for 399, but yea the x is good price
-
I think its safe to say the "X" will undoubtedly outperform the "T2".
yea, but it is really so much more expensive. i will double check thought to see if it is my budget

What if i did two Rockford Fosgate T2 15 inch subs, with a sundown audio SAZ - 2500? I think that would be a reasonable set up for my first go. I did my math all wrong when i first posted this, so i did a quick edit. i think this setup would hit pretty hard.
-
i've used both the fosgate t1000-bdcp and a older sundown sae-1200. I got the RF for 220 Used and paid roughly the same for the SAE new. The sundown was a great amp, but the RF is better imho. This is doing a straight out swap on a old silver T2 15. The sundown can be had for cheaper new. Buying each new I would probably lean towards the Sundown. They're both good solid amps. As far as subs, I've never used Sundown. .
good to know, thankyou

Either way you can't go wrong
Only differance is double the power
Can you elect system support a true 5k?
As already stated daily go zv4 on a 5k
Side note your really compacting apples to apples
The x is a low end monster the t2 is not
everything sundown puts out is more that advertised. 5000D is a beast, and so are the X series subs, but i would personally look for a beefier subwoofer for close to 3000w a piece.
but this raises the reason i put that quote in red, that 5k is going to pull a lot of current, do you have a high output alt, few runs of 1/0, and probably 3 or so nice sized AGMs?
Im going to redo the electrical system (for the audio atleast, big three etc...) , 1/0 is a must. How high should i go with the alternator 300 amp? and then i was thinking of doing two Xs power batteries and then the battery for the truck. Everyone continues to say to do "a few runs" of 1/0. I still don't quite understand what this means and how it would be done?

Are you planning to stick to a pair of 12s? If so, I'd say get some zv4 12s and a Sundown 5k. You'd be pretty happy with that if everything else is already up to par (electrical and whatnot).
As for honest reviews, I love Sundown products. I've ran a lot of their gear; sae12000, saz1500, saz2000, sa12s, sa15s, e8v3s, Saz3000, sa8s, sa8v2s, zv3/x's. I've never had any issues and Jacob/Brian/Debbie were always helpful when I needed advice or customer service. Great products and even better customer service.
im not planning to stick to 2 12's forever. I will eventually do something big, maybe 4 15's or 4 18's. Good to know they are reliable with customer support. thanks for the reply

Hey everybody. Within the next year I'm looking to put a system in my 2000 Chevy Tahoe. I originally planned on doing two Rockford Fosgate T2 12s and a T2500. Well i have been looking around quite a lot and I've become interested in Sundown Audio. Does anyone have any reviews on their x12 dual 2 subwoofer and the SAZ-5000D Amplifier? Also my budget is about 700-900 for subwoofers, and somewhere under the 2,000 range for the amp. So all suggestions are appreciated and taken seriously. But i would like to go with anything above 2500 watts. Any other Companies i should be taking seriously, companies with good pricing? (rockford seems to charge a lot just for their name)
P.s Again, if you have any other ideas, please feel free to post them
Thankyou,
Jon

Quick question about a Dc Audio Build.
in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
Posted
Also i might just keep the dc audio 2.0k and up the subs to the level 3's since i will have the cash to do it.
