sundownz Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 SAE-1200D Renderings: Added 5mm cooling fins under the face of the amp, similar to the SAX / SAZ heatsink (10mm for these). --- This amp will actually replace the SAZ-1500D at the consumer level. It will produce around 1500 watts actual output in a regular vehicle at 1 ohm and the price will be between the current SAE-1000D and SAZ-1500D - so it is a better deal for most folks running at 1 ohm at 14.4 volts. It has great protection - over-current kicks in at around 1600 watts at 1 ohm (clipping), the amp will simply shut off for a few seconds so you know you are well into clipping. Abuse testing for over a month has shown NO issues with this model even with severe voltage drop. Other amps will be following to finally fill out the SAE line - including an updated SAE-1000D model (name changed to 800D, but will produce 1000 watts just like the 1000D does now). It will cost LESS than the current SAE-1000D does. The new SAE amps are not strappable, but do have line-outs to daisy chain - you could also still strap them with an external device such as a Maxx-Link. Also looking at 50x4 and a 75x2 models... perhaps even an SAE-1600D or SAE-1800D to really give the "consumer level" products some punch. So, why the SAE line ? They will perform just as well as an SAZ at 1 ohm and 14.4 volts or less - they will not have 1/2 ohm stability or high voltage stability. Most people don't need that and they add cost even for those who will never use their amps in that manner. Those customers that DO want those things will still look to the SAZ line which will be getting a 2000D model and possibly a 5000D model - most SPL guys that want such features want larger than the 1500D anyway.

banginAltima Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The SAE-1200D is a good looking amp. Will the SAZ-2000 have built in fuses or external? Quote If you build it, db's will come...

The 2000D will require an external fuse @ 200 amps.

sundownz Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 How do you make these amp so powerful and run so cool with no fan? Even the old heat-sink was fairly heavy duty - with adequate thermal mass and surface area a fan is not really necessary. The Class-D models are also quite efficient, so that helps. I've been testing the proto in a MUCH lighter case and it's never had a thermal issue - so it should run very very cool in the newly tooled SAE case!

sundownz Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 i like that all black look. it's sexy That will be the look for all SAE models - until now it has only been the SAE-1000D but that'll be changing in the coming months Quote - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Production will begin on these soon - I'm pretty excited about these. Multi-Channel SAE amps will follow later in the year!
