sundownz Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Sundown Audio SA-12 Prototype 600-watts RMS / 2.5" Coil / D4 configuration Estimated MSRP - $200 USD ETA - Don't have one yet, will be testing prototype in a few weeks Yes, it will have "Sundown Audio" on the dust cap by the time it reaches production. Designed to be used as a pair with the SAE-1200D. Will first be available in 12s when production is ready, then other sizes later (no 8s or 18s). May see some changes before production but you get the idea 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...
Forevrbumpn Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Now thats a nice sub, a VERY solid entry level sub for Sundown Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

sundownz Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 So far so good in testing. I used the old test box from the VW in the Jeep... which is ~2 cubes tuned around 30-35 Hz or so, port nearly touching the hatch (eg: very poor setup for getting numbers). Peak still @ 50 Hz -- 138.3 dB with ~720 watts or so. I played music with constant power from 500 - 720 watts clamped in this box for 5-10 minutes. Woofer did not display any mechanical stress except on 720-watt peaks -- will probably make the magnet stack taller for production to avoid that as the coil can contact the back plate at 26.25mm of excursion, which I was able to achieve. I also played the 50 Hz tone for several minutes at the same power level as before - score stayed pretty constant. I then turned the frequency up to 60 Hz and let it play... didn't really clamp the power at first but about 20 seconds in I got curious. Sub was seeing 1800+ watts clamped power and by the time I hit pause was doing so for about 40 seconds or so. Sub is still just fine. So... probably 15 minutes or so of at least 500 watts and as much as 1800 watts on sine wave material and no issues at all. Design seems to be meeting it's goals so far. I want to make a top plate for my SPL box to see what it does in there as well just for kicks smile.gif PS: I made a mistake on my spec sheet for the factory... forgot to tell them to make the coils D4 so I got S8 coils... I have two 3000s strapped on it to get this power level smile.gif Oh yah... and most importantly the driver sounds pretty darn good to. This test box is tuned low so I was able to get a feel for the sound a typical customer will experience and I am pleased with it.

Forevrbumpn Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think thats a pretty good review, minus the single 8ohm config... lol But 500-1800watts on a 2.5" coil is damn good cant wait to see these bad boys Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme.
