Best Sundown subwoofer for a variety of music?


Recommended Posts

As the title states, what is the best Sundown subwoofer for a variety of music? I've heard the SA 8" v1 in a ported box and was pretty impressed by its ability to handle all types of music and get plenty low doing it. Is that as good as it gets for Sundown?

Thanks in advance for anyone's input.

No matter how you look at it.. there isnt a clear cut "best" Sundown driver. I do know however, that my SA8v1.5s do a damn good job playing all different types of music. If you dont cut corners on the install, I believe that any of their drivers will sound great.

Ive heard SA8 v1s, v2, E8s, and Nightshades (I think v2s).. and they all sounded awesome. Then again, Im sure they were in good boxes.

The reason the SA series hasn't undergone a transformation like the other lines is because Jacob hasn't been able to improve on the output of the SA without sacrificing it's SQ and musical abilities. Don't get me wrong, all the other Sundown series probably sound great, but I know the SA series is the one Jacob won't sacrifice sq for spl

Interesting. That's good to know.

I've owned several Nightshades with many different custom options that Jake wanted me to try out and see how they performed. I've also owned a couple variety of sa woofers. Imo the sa is the better sounding out of the two. To be specific the sa with the higher roll surround and stitched surround is the best sounding Sundown woofer that I've owned. However, as its been previously stated 95% of the sq comes out of the box. The current box I have for two sa12s happens to sound better than all of my previous. One reason is because of the grade of birch I used and the other is a very good ratio of port area to box volume.
