Testing all the Sundown SAZ amps

[roarzorz 10+ year member]

We did some comparative testing between all the Sundown Audio SAZ series amplifiers today.

The saz-1000d, saz-1500d, saz-2000d, and the saz-3000d.

Guts of the new saz-1000d. This thing is a lil powerhouse.

All testing was done in my '93 Explorer Sport on a single stock Sundown NightShade 15". The weather was very cold today down in the 30s. My peak frquency was off cause of the cold and overall I was down 0.8db with all amps but this test was only for comparison purposes anyways just to show the difference on the TL from one to the other.

Up first the lil saz-1000d. It's so cute!

Then the saz-1500d. 1.5db gain in a direct swap.

Next is the saz-2000d. Another 0.8db gain with it.

Last up was the saz-3000d. 0.7db up from there.

All scores were done with the vehicle sealed & the mic on the windshield.

Cool, nice family of amps there. Even the 1000d put up some good numbers. Impressive. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

I love my SAE-1000D, and the SAZ version is even beefier, a very sexy little amp for sure.

What ohm for all the amps?

The sub is a dual 1 wired to 0.5ohm for all tests.

So even the 1000d had no problem with the 0.5ohm load?

Impressive

That lil powerhouse is a tank just like the rest of the Sundown SAZ series amplifiers. My bro is currently using it to power four el cheapo Lightning Audio Bolt 15"s in a 10ft sealed box in his Excursion. It hits right at 140db @ 30hz. The saz-1000d is pushing the hell outta them without getting even slightly warm. It stays cold to the touch. Even @ 0.5ohm the current draw didn't phase my voltage at all in my Explorer. This is a great amp for guys who want decent power without all the electrical upgrades. I'm thinking of using one to power four Sundown E8s in a small daily setup.
