Any problems with your saz 1500v2 ?

[BossBeimer 10+ year member]

I had my saz1500v2 from sundown audio installed at Sound Innovations They created an amazing enclosure and it played great for a few hours then the amp went into protection. When I opened the trunk the amplifier had smoke coming from it. I was kinda embarrased actually After doing tons of research on here i was sure this was a quality amplifier so i bought it....Now lets see what how this can be resolved...anyone else have this issue ? Is this common ?

check with the shop too...

something tells me installer error...like impedance...

SAZ amps dont just blow....

First off, where did you by the amp from?

Second, your tone is that there Sundown has sent you an inferior amp.

third, what were the rest of the details of the system. As with a thread like this, in the public eye, I am sure all would love to kow what the details are. As yes typically we do hang on Sundown balls

doubt he knows if he had to pay a shop to install it....

its either been ran at far too low of imp. or, considering he was running it on a factory electrical system, his voltage dropped to 10-11 and he cooked it like i told him he would in a different thread.

hey dont tell Haunz he cooked it with low voltage it will start a huge argument where he swears low voltage cant possibly hurt an amplifier....

that will do it

the op was dead set on keeping the factory electrical in his BMW because its a 185 amp alt from the factory and that the car being a bmw will magically make that cover a amp that will draw ~150 amps and all of the current draw that the car its self needs.

From the looks of the installs on the homepage, I highly doubt anything was done with the electrical, besides perhaps a capacitor.

Edit- Above poster beat me to it.
