Wait wait wait wait will the 2500Dv.2 have it as well? O_O I was under the impression the new amp line didnt have the clipping light. Im crazy happy right now. ( saves woofers from dirty songs)

Really excited, going to replace my massive audio component set the second they are released lol

I'm gonna be honest here, the "600RMS" rating on the SA12s.. is almost detrimental to the function of the woofer, 600 watts is about half of what they should be rated, and what should be put on them. (provided your not sending a distorted signal)

This^^^^. Also when you say SD amps I think of soundigital. SA is what people use to abreviate Sundown audio Edited cuz your totally right about SD lol.. But I tune for every song, and get close to the clipping point, but im sure im over on most songs.. I know the lights arnt perfect, but they give you a rough estimate

Nice That's what I wish I could do... well if I had a light hahaha I can't ever smell my coils, just wrecks my woofer suspension

It kinda sucks, I adjust my gain at the start of every song, I can feel (and hear of coarse) when the amp gets into the power phase of the DB level. But I can turn the gain knob up more and still get huge output increases, even though its distorted But having the subs in the trunk makes the distortion hard to hear.

So I guess this question is directed at Jacob mostly, I love, LOVE SA amps, style, support, and doing way over rated cleanly. But there is a feature that I and many MANY others would love to see. That's a clipping indicator light on the gain remotes for the amps.. I'll be honest i'm not sure how much of a complex feature this is to integrate, but it would be such a huge help... Do you have any plans to add this? I was really hoping to see it on the 2012 refresh, and grab a 2500V.2 or a 3500v.2.. But it appears that my hopes are crushed Just wanted to add this, I know the lights arnt perfect, but setting to a single DB level and playing different types of music isn't perfect either... The least retarded option is a clipping light..

This is where DC Amps shine, clipping light on the gain remote, most useful invention.... ever this was a huge selling point to me The clipping indecator feature is something that must be built into the amp itself.. Sadly you can just buy a remote with a clipping light and have that feature I wasn't aware DD amps had this.. Really raises the questions why SD amps don't :\

Clipping doesn't worry me, i'v clipped the crap out of the woofers I have now and i'm fine with that.. The problem I see is people who use the DD1 then blow something not paying attention.. :\

The DD1 is a great tool, but here is the question I have.. The test track is at -5DB, now thats fine and dandy, but the problem comes in when the majority of music has different bass DB levels.. Its still VERY ease to clip your amp and wreck some woofers even with a properly tuned system if you play a song with a higher DB level then the system was tuned for. Here is an example, i'm tuned for -5DB (perfect for decaf stuff) But if ANY song by bill-e comes on -3DB ~ 0DB bass lines, you're clipping hard. Even some rap has -3DB ~ -2DB bass tracks. (Project Pat does this more often then not) On the other side of the spectrum you get songs with great bass lines that are below the -5DB, (-7 ~ -8DB) and your amp isn't doing near normal output. Basically this has left be to tune each song as it comes on, I have a Sundown amp so I don't have a clipping light on my remote so I know i'm clipping a little.. I just wish there was a simple answer to all this Any ideas?? Thanks!!

I own a V1 with SAZ-1500D painted on the top and bottom, the key external difference is the fusing. If it has fuses its a V1 if not, its a V2. They are really efficient clean amps, considering strapping them?

Thinking about running 2 Zv.3 12's.. I love how the motor is almost as big as the basket on the 12.. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside

What kind of space do you want to be taken up by the 8s? Also the SD series is a shallow mount so you could grab SD8's and maybe find custom made (sealed) boxes that can take the place of the side panels in the trunk. The SA series is a good combo of SQ and SPL IMHO, I own two SA12's that sound very nice.

I know its very unlikely that someone will sell there DD1. But I thought I should post this anyway, if you have one your willing to part with please leave a reply or a PM with pricing. Thank you very much!
