Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 509 Registered: Sep-05 | I am looking into getting 2 SA 12 D2s and I am going to get a Sundown 2000 amp. Now, my questions is this: The guy that I was going to get the subs from had them listed as D4s and made a mistake, they are D2s. I told him I need D4s and he says this: "you can wire it up for .5 ohm and by the time you get the rise you'll be at 1 ohm" Is this true or will I be doing damage? Help ASAP, supposed to buy them tonight. Thanks all. |

Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass2 hifonics 2607s, 2dcSounds12xls SPL\idmax12SQ Post Number: 15389 Registered: Jun-04 | but your amp wont be as efficient at a half ohm which means it will be harder on your electrical so if thats an issue dont buy them |

Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 510 Registered: Sep-05 | Yea, that's what I thought also. I can't afford to upgrade my electrical anymore right now. Thanks sean |

Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 513 Registered: Sep-05 | Okay, what do you guys think about this one: http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/showthread.php?t=56625 Guy says it was only used for about 6 months and it used to be his buddies that was on Team Sundown. He has tons of references, so I'm not worried about that. Wondering about the 6 months of usage, is that a good deal. |

Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 1430 Registered: Sep-09 | daily setups should not count on box rise as much as you think, music is dynamic unlike a test tone. .67 ohm's is as low as i would go daily on a sundown amp without some hella electrical. |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 818 Registered: Jul-09 | Why are you buying a sundown amp,when i can give you a hell of a deal on a nine.1? |

Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass2 hifonics 2607s, 2dcSounds12xls SPL\idmax12SQ Post Number: 15417 Registered: Jun-04 | seems like a good deal for a sundown |
|
Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 522 Registered: Sep-05 | Oh yea Sean P? How much? LOL I'm going up to 2000 watts anyway. Everything okay with the amp? I got the Clarion installed, the only thing I don't like is the touch screen is hard to push when in the EQ menu. Oh well, I'll deal with it. LOL |

|
Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 819 Registered: Jul-09 | Yea,the amp is fine. I was a little supprised by how big an heavy it is compared to my aq1200d. Very nice amp though. You dont like the Clarion? I thought it was nice for the hour that i had it hooked up. lol Im sure you will notice quite a difference in sound compared to the P.A. too. |
|
Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 523 Registered: Sep-05 | Sean P, no I love the Clarion, the only thing I don't like about it is the touch screen when your on the EQ screen, it's like I almost need a stylus to hit the right button. I have figured out how to get past this though. Other than that, I love it. Kinda have to, I sold my PA. And yes, the sound quality difference is amazing. Glad you like the amp. Yea, that thing is huge, but my Sundown is going to be bigger than that one. LOL |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 821 Registered: Jul-09 | ^What he said. Pics? After having that amp hooked up for a couple days ive notice quite a difference in my Q. Seems louder, a little cleaner an hits the lows a little better too. Its wierd,maybe this has do to with the 1200wrms 12.5v rating? Idk,i came across this from a bench test on an old ecoustics thread. Thought it was interesting. Equipment used. 1 Nine.1 Installed in my 97 Nissan pickup. stock 60A alternator 2 old yellow tops My RF 8240 feeding a 2.1v None-Clipped input signal with the gains on the Nine.1 maxed out. Bass Boost at 0, crossover and subsonic filter turned to the highest and lowest settings respectively. 60Hz tone was used for all testing since this is where most Dmm's will read VAC most accurately. Test equipment used was: Fluke 31 True Rms Clamp AC Ammeter Craftsman Pro 82357 Tru Rms Dmm Craftsman cheapo Dmm for voltage and verification purposes. Leader O-Scope The amp surprised me in that it is nearly twice as heavy as my db1100's. I was not expecting that at all. The terminals are very classy, though i would prefer the speaker terminals were a little larger to make it easier to fit 8ga in. I was able to get 8ga in however, it just took a little work. A very minor complaint at best. The controls were fairly simple and i like the remote gain knob quite a bit with power and protection indicators included on the unit. The remote gain knob was NOT used for this test however. Install was very simple as i ran 2 1' sections of 8ga each for power and ground and used 8ga speaker wire to run the amp to 2 kicker 10L7d2s to a 1/2 ohm load rated. After about 3 dozen 1 sec burps to get the feel for the amp and the massive array of multimeter leads all over and how to read them all at once while working the radio etc and after warming the subs up quite considerably as well as draining my poor batteries. The test results are in. A 38.77Vac 30.27Amps 1.28 ohm load in box @60hz 1173.5 Watts RMS with the batteries at 10.9v B 37.8Vac 30.1A 1.2 ohms 1137wrms with batteries at 10.1V The numbers here unfortunately reflect greatly that the batteries had been toasted by this point. The best charger we had was a 6A charger and my little 60A alt was doing its best to recharge round after round of burps, but it was clearly not up to the job. I was quite impressed though that this amp took the low voltage with no trouble at all and still put out those numbers. It is clearly time for me to replace my 2 5yr old yellow tops however. So, calculate an average of 10% increase for each volt gained, and you will find that these numbers look much much better Test A at 13.7v would have read approx 1501w @ 1.28 ohms Test B at 13.7v would have read approx 1547w @ 1.2 ohms I am extremely pleased with this amplifier's performance. It never got hot, barely got warm at all as a matter of fact. It never once went into protect mode from low voltage or any other reason. The spl competitor in my appreciated that there was no protection hiccup, the amp had no trouble burping at all and was easily rolled up to max output without shutting off or popping or anything else for that matter. I didnt find a single flaw whatsoever in the performance of the amp. It had no turn on pop, no noise, nothing that shouldnt have been there. When compared to my db1100 on the exact same setup, the nine.1 was much stronger without a doubt, though i had no spl meter to do a heads up comparo with them. Overall I am quite surprised by how well this amplifier handled the test and all of the abuse i put it through and it passed all of them with flying colors. I give the Nine.1 an A+. Congrats Ben and the team at ED on one knockout product." |
