Sundown SAZ 3000D Question!

[Chevyboy10 10+ year member]

will this sundown be stable for a long period of time at .6 ohms? even with impedance drop? if so about how long would you say is it worth buying and saving money or should i stick with my JLs i have listed below?!?!

no one has a comment on this?

Independence drop?

You mean rise?

All depends on your electrical, but also, there isn't a warranty on them below 1ohm, which is something to think about.

i know but if i did i would do everything necessary for the electrical upgrade to pump im just concerned about buying one and running it at .6 ohms ...? will it last?

I run mine on a pair of memphis mojo 12s which are dual 2, so wired to .5.. Sundown amplifiers are overbuilt in every way.. I have the older heatsink and it never gets more than slightly warm which i assume is due to the florida heat.

What do you mean will it last?

a 1 year, sure.

3 years, maybe.

forever? Shoot who knows really.

well then i think i should just stick with my 3 a1800 to be more efficient?

personally, i think the amp can handle it. but, for warranty purposes, you shouldn't go below 1 ohm.

You could, but then you would have the same thing that everyone else that walks out out HIFI BUYS has, more JL, or you dance to the beat of a different drum. but as stated, it is your call.

And the amp will handle it.

have you metered your subs to see what they actually are sitting at?

I ran my SAZ 1500D's at 0.5 daily for a good 6 months with 0 problems... Never got even warm to the touch, and they gave my Soundstream SPLX-12" and a MTX 9500 12" complete hell..

I've got the 3000D's now and I ran them at 0.5ohm a piece daily on 1 Memphis Madd Maxx 15" Quad 1 ohm coils, and for the 2 weeks I did it, it ran awesome. No warmth, no nothing. Performed flawlessly...

Like someone mentioned...no warranty under 1 ohm, but they will do it all day long... as long as you be true and dont go AWOL with your gains and bass boost settings..

They are over-built in every way....and the hew heatseak designs are a very nice mod in my opinion by Jacob...I love my Sundowns...so much I'm going to 18" Sundown Audio Nightshades...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Maybe im missing something but how does quad 1 ohm wire to .5ohm?

And OP Isnt your final load .67? After imp rise it will be near or at 1 ohm anyways.

 

[Chevyboy10 10+ year member]

yes what will my ohm load be after rise roughly?

 

[Slikk]

like he said....if you wire it down to .67 your imp rise will be roughly 1-1.5 ohms depending on ur box theres no way to give u exact without you clamping your amp

Keep your voltage above I would say 12.5 and you will do just find!
