sundownz Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I got the sample of my v.2 SAE-1200D in... testing is going quite well. Honestly... I need to change the part number to SAE-1500D on these *laughs* TEST 1: 1 ohm nominal @ 60 Hz 1440 Watts 54.6 V 26.4 A 2.07 ohms ** Over rated power at 1 ohm nominal with 2x rise TEST 2: 1/2 Nominal @ 45 Hz 1750 Watts 49.6 V 35.3 A 1.4 ohms TEST 3: 1/2 Nominal @ 50 Hz 1840 Watts Popped Fuses (too much current draw) Replaced fuses amp is okay -- I don't suggest 1/2 ohm daily but to get power testing somewhere close to 1 ohm actual I wired it that way with a known rise. Some pictures vs. the v.1 SAE-1200D : NEW on the LEFT OLD on the RIGHT 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...

Decaf Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 tested voltage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) looks like alot less internals and great power output Internals are actually almost identical... the old board just looks crowded from the black lines on it and the extra raised bars (single sided board needed them). Many of the small parts were also centralized to the one corner (upper left of new board) instead of being spread around the board. The BIG difference is the new board is double sided -- almost all of the problems with the v.1 models that came back related to vibration breaking solder connections. The double sided board has solder all the way through the eyelets and not just on one side -- much more rugged.

sundownz Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 tested voltage? 14.4v w/ 80-amp power supplies on board and 4 awg power wire. I didn't measure drop but I'd expect it to be into the mid 12s on the 1 ohm test and mid 11s on the 0.5 ohm test. based on prior testing I've done on my bench.

Boon Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Still the mysterious black box in there, presumably the output drive? Nice power out of it Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E a r t h Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 i like how v.2 board is layed out much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Still the mysterious black box in there, presumably the output drive?Nice power out of it Yah, it's the driver card -- these guys encase it in epoxy. It's very rugged... I never had one fail on a v.1 SAE-1200D model regardless of what happened to the amp. Has large discrete parts in it vs. smaller SMD components.

ROCKSOLID84 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 how clean is the power compared to the saz line??.. Quote JAMES SAID.. you dont need 1500 for a WOOFER people just love overpowering rather then building for the power recommended THATS A SMART GUY...

sundownz Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 As long as your are playing this amp @ 1 ohm it will sound very much like the SAZ line.
