Sundown Audio NS-1 drop-in test on 12v

[G_skillz81]

Ok, so as some of you may know, me and the guys at D Style Audio are about midway through finishishing my blowthrough build with 4 z18v3's in my Dodge Ram

build-log is here http://www.stevemead...sundown-russia/

for those that want Cliff-notes:

vid just before the build

here's the truck after a new paintjob

this is the box - designed by Team Nemesis Derrick :thumbsup:

installed

Current electrical consists of a Mechman 320A alt, XS Power D6500 under the hood, two D2700's in the bed - two runs of positive and negative - Shok Industries 0awg .... we will add more bats in February when the next shipment of bats comes in

Subs - z18v3's :thumbsup:

This is the amp we're using for this build

- it is a prototype we are testing for Russ at Shok industries..it's a beast of an amp..I'm sure those that are familiar with guts of high power Korean amps will have no problems identifying what it resembles and and what power is to be expected... we have so far clamped it at 7200watts with a drop to 11v.. score was 154.5 @36hz

here's the vid of that

we have since done a best of 154.7 @35hz with that amp.... my current range from 30 to 38hz is pretty flat - within tenths of a db

so, right after we metered the 154.7 (this was after a fresh charge on the bats with the awesome XS Power HF1215 intellicharger) we shot some vids for fun

and then we had some business to take care of - test some NS-1s that just came in before shipping them out to teammates outside of Moscow

and we knew NS-1s are some strong ass amps from a previous testing and competitions with the prototypes, but the results of this drop-in test were a surprise to us...pretty much right out of the box we gained 0.2 dbs over the best score of the other amp :runaround:

and the best part?

less voltage drop

Me being happy

Sundown Audio FTW!! :thumbsup:

Looks and sounds violent.

For the look of your car, what do you think about 2 white stripes.

Found no better pics, i mean a nice shiny mother of pearl whithe not to broad, and the small wing on the first picture looks good on the RAM.

Heriy V can photoshop that for you.

Haha, thanks man that was shot and edited by one of our teamates, he does incredible work with the camera (look at his youtube channel for other vids)

that is me in the avatar and the same truck, I used to rock some hair, yeah, but then global warming hit and I decided to get a shave to stay cool during summer

this is me like 3-4 years ago

and this is me (and my wife) this summer

[sundownz]

We had guts in a few of the early intro threads -- but they are here :

NS-1 on top and 4500D on bottom. The results Greg and his guys has shown speak for themselves I think
