SD-3 -- help matching amp
bmxscion replied to pumin's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
Markous- just make sure you set the gains on your amp carefully. These SD-3's are easier to bottom out than the other beefier models. But when you get it set right they are really nice. Do you plan on doing a separate chamber sealed box or shared chamber sealed.....or something else? I know how good my single 12 sounds, and I bet two would be pretty nice. What is your frontstage consist of? I have a full active HAT 3-way front stage in mine. -
SD-3 -- help matching amp
bmxscion replied to pumin's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
I have an SD-3 12" D4 in a sealed box just under 1 cu ft. The one I have was the prototype unit that has the machined outer spokes unlike the production models. I have it powered by a RF 501bd and processed with an MS-8. It is an awesome sub but I will be upgrading next year so I may sell this one. -
how is your HU grounded? i have mine straight from the harness to the metal bar under the dash. I do not use the ground side of the vehicle harness at all. I am also running a 501bd and I have 2 551X's in my setup and I have zero alt noise.

DD-1 first time user - this thing is boss
bmxscion replied to may03LT's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
A tip for those who have a DD-1 or any other SMD tool that doesn't plan on using them for extended periods of time.....disconnect the battery when storing. Protect your investment. -
wire size
bmxscion replied to jmfrb1's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
I am using the silver plated 12AWG that Knu used to carry on my 12" SD-2 and what I did to make room for both wires in the terminal was to take small ring terminals and unbolt the back of the terminal and just attach directly to there so I only have to have one wire in the push terminal. It was kind of a PITA but it cleans it up a little even though it is inside the box. I never did take a pic of that but I will get one next time I have my sub unbolted from my box. You can see the black wire coming out of the amp in this pic: -
Just a question about water cooling....I know they make heatsinks for water cooling RAM. Is that even something that would be necessary to consider? Or does just good airflow from fans suffice? I am sure water cooling the RAM would add some significant cost to the cooling system. Everything looks super awesome on this rig and I can't wait to see the radiators when they come in!

SD-2 10D2
bmxscion replied to f16fxr4real's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
I have an SD-2 12" in a sealed box and it is rather impressive ran off a RF Power 501bd. I only have my gain around half maybe less and it sounds real nice. I can only imagine in the proper ported box it would have higher output but it also depends on what you listen to. I listen to more rock than rap so the kick drum bass is amazing in my set up. Also it is processed with an MS-8. -

Xs d3400
bmxscion replied to ToNasty's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
I have a D3400 under hood in my 2005 Scion xB with custom Toolmaker battery terminals. 220A Mechman alt also. Couldn't be happier. -
We use them in the military all the time. They rock in the desert!! Pretty much just hook up the hose to it and water flows across a carboard like material and air blows across it. Those things are hella expensive when new. I've never seen them used in a heating configuration but I know for cooling they are awesome!
