ISO Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Would it be anymore cost effective to offer a second version of the SAZ-3000D to be .5 ohm stable so you could strap them at 1 ohm to get the 6,000 watts someone might need? You could call it the SAZ-3000D.5 Could it fit in the same chasis/heatsink? How many changes would need to be made to accomplish that with the already existing SAZ-3000D? I would guess you might sell more of those than building a vary large amp right off the bat. and I don't want anyone coming back saying I run mine at .5 ohm all the time becuase I'm talking about one that was intended to be used officially at .5 ohms per amp and strapped at 1 ohm. any thoughts or facts?

sundownz Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I don't see it paying off to offer two versions of the same amp, to be honest. Especially since if it was 1/2 ohm stable everyone would want to run it at 1/4 ohm The market seems to want a massive 5-7k amp, so we'll see how it goes. If this deal doesn't go through Sundown won't be making an amp bigger than the 3k in 2008. Simply responding to requests by giving those interested, if there are enough, the opportunity to make it happen.

andym85 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 just keeping all up to date in case you arent a member over at *** "Okay, my estimate was about right on the 7k amp. Roughly $2499 MSRP price tag. Pre-Sale pricing would weigh in around 1600 (exact number pending) or so each for the 7k making it cheaper per watt than the 3000 or 1500 for those that pre-order. This amp would be producing anywhere from 9 - 10k on a strong 16-18 volt bank. Team members would need to contact me about their pricing. --- As for the warranty on the 7k. This would be it: 1) Fully tested before shipment to not be DOA. 2) No guarantee beyond that if ran under 1 ohm, period. 3) 90-day regular warranty. 4) 1-year discounted replacement warranty. --- Quite an expensive unit here - how many would still be interested? --------- The 5k would weigh in around 1250 on the pre-sale. Being a slightly more "rational" amplifier I would be comfortably offering a 6 month warranty on it and 2-years discounted replacement. --------- Why the short warranty? If the amp works for 3-6 months it's pretty well not a manufacturing problem - it comes down to abuse or mis-use. I have been VERY reluctant to offer a larger amp than the 3000D for the simple fact that almost nobody can supply the needed current to properly run such an amp. These are the terms necessary for me to do so - if there is interest, I'll do it. If there is not, I won't. "-Jacob Quote i likes me some audio stuff...

I got the spl dynamic amps, and was looking at getting two saz 3000s, i think a 7k amp would be nice, but as there are a few other companies that offer the 5 and 7k range, but no one offers a 8k. 4k per woofer would be nice!!!
