Sundown Audio

UPDATE... was two 15" DD, then Sundown... NOW four sa12!!!


Recommended Posts

Ric, please tell something about the sound of the DD´s and SA´s.

Sound? as in how my ears feel? how my body feels after this? lol

well no meter involved... the DD subs were nasty. hit extremely hard and would knock the wind right out of you. everyone that heard it loved it.

the sundowns (just two 15" sa) sounded fantastic. I loved the way they sounded. They got nasty loud, very tight and clean. I'd say a bit tighter and cleaner even than the DD's... but the DD's had more impact overall... now... with the four sa12...

hands down. NASTY

freq is a bit lower.

check.

hair tricks.

check.

back massage.

check.

punchy.

check.

drills you in your head.

check.

I have found my favorite budget minded sub. period. the sa series subs 8", 12", and 15" subs (never tested a 10" but i'm sure its equally as impressive) are in my opinion the absolute best all around daily sub for it's price, performance ratio.

Thx for your quick ansewer, and sure the sound is up to the ear. I like a musical sub in my next build. Idk the DD prices in the states but here it is 600 $ diffrence between

a SA 15 and a DD 3515!

Hey man, I really have to say thanks. I was going to go with 2 DC lvl 3 12's, and been contemplating them or 2 SA-12's. The SA's where about $10 more. After seeing this post, and knowing how good DD is, This just set me on the SA's, Jacob, you can expect 2 SA-12's ordered from me within the next year!

I love my sa12s. Although each of them has a blown coil so they arent getting the full power they're still not bad at all.
