@@oclaothug69 they do last actually I've had mine over a year with no issues whatsoever.

one of the main things that the full bridge design (aka H bridge) eliminates is the need for a negative voltage rail since the operation of the PWM of the H bridge basically constantly flips the polarity of the modulated square wave across the output filter and speaker, this simplifies power supply design mainly, nothing new, it's just has a bit more complicated PWM and requires more FETs

3 yrs ago i bought my first sundown setup and it was like yep im hooked! My SFB 2k is powered back up because i bought two U.6.5's!!!! And i want two more!!! The performance while retaining trunk space is sick!!!

Hey Dude thanks for explaining about these amp. really appreciated

These are good amps as long as you don't try to run them on less than 1 ohm. Good for saving space!

Great job man.. YA why people keep.asking the same ?'s is beyond me.. but u are doing a awesome job..

I just want to know one thing Derick can I run it below1ohm,.. just kidding man great video LOL. LMAO....

How do the crossovers work since there is a low pass and high pass but no switch to turn either on/off on the mono amps? I assume it works like a band pass crossover? Crank your high pass all the way down or to be your subsonic filter level and then crank the low pass to the high end of what you want to play your subs at?

Derrick should win an award for his unbelievable amounts of patience lol I have heard him say all of this, in videos at least 10 times.. not counting in the comments. Surprised dude hasn't completely bitten his tongue off dealing with this shit. Probably lots of jaw clenching and giving himself a minute to calm down...deep breaths! WooooSaaaaa

My question is for my setup. I have four hcca 15.2 on a 12k splx amp with three 320 amp alternators and 120 ah lithium Bank. I blew my splx and I just ordered your 13k sfb to replace it. My charging is around 14.7 volts. Is that sfb 13k going to have less of a current draw than the splx?

Bravo excellent good video topic of choice for discussion you are the man brother

I just got a sundown sfb 2000d and I am powering a sa 12 version 2 wired to 2 ohm in a custom box tuned to 35 hz. what hz test tone should I set the low pass and high pass too?

Currently running korean 4500.1 and a 250.1 class d amps. They are beasts but take up a ton of space and heavy. I would really like to see that output section that ur speaking of and compare the component differences in one of ur koreans and full bridge to fully help alot of us understand the differences and pros and cons. Always been told the full bridge run very hot. Being in Texas reducing heat is a must. Can u elaborate as two why they would or do run hotter. This video was helpful but a more in depth on the difference would be great.

Do you have to use a RCA Y splitter to just connect to the top Input of the RCA's on the Amplifier ?

Sundown - Can the internal crossovers be used as a bandpass for output to a subwoofer? Can the high-pass be set at 15hz/ 20hz (shallow subsonic filter) and still use the low-pass crossover at 80hz and down for the output to the subwoofers? Or does the HP crossover just control the filter for the RCA output jack to a separate amp? Thanks!

Bring the SA-12 woofer test part 2 already!!

Can I run one those on 2 Sa 15s d4 or would it be overkill? I'm running the sae 2000d on them now in a qbomb ported box.

Cant find any wattage numbers anywhere for the SFB 1800.5D 5 channel amp. Any word on those? I'd love to use one to replace my ppi 4 channel and sundown sae2000.

Man. The power that comes out of the amps is like almost to good to be true! Your making me feel fake thinking this is real? Ok. I'm gonna buy one. Lets see what happens?

I have the sundown sfb 1500 on two mojo 8's, running on 4 gauge power and ground,do I need to upgrade my wiring to get the full power out of this amp?

What frequency you tune at and would they be able to produce the power between lowmid to highs

DEREK Question... i just purchased the SFB 1000 and i want a matching amp. Will the SFB 200.4 work good with Focal Es165 K2 components? I have 2 sets. Or should i wait to save for the SAE 100.4?

I just received one of these amps. This may be a stupid question, but from the few amps I have ever owned there were always fuses on the amp. I see no fuses. I have a fuse at the battery. Am I supposed to wire fuses myself near the amp also? Sorry but I did not get an owners manual in the box.

Can a SFB 2000D can handle u12 without clipping using stock altanator & update XS battery? Also so these amps burn up like what others say?

I have a SFB 1500 I just turned the car on, and now both my blue and red on the amp blinks, no music..but have highs..what do u think? Duff from N Philly..

Man I want me one of those sfb1000's... those things looks awesome... finally some sundown amps that won't break my wallet lol don't get me wrong your Korean boards are some of the best out there for sure :)

Plugging both RCAs is ok? Even though it says output… I’m running 5000 sfb and was wondering about that. Does it make a difference running single amp?

What fuse do you recommend using on a 500.4 sfb?

Good looks bruh watched it in whole lol

Hey if I just run 1 sub woofer do I just hook it up to one of the outputs or hook it up like a normal bridge?

Serious question what's the power ratings on the 200X4? Is it 100 at 4 ohm per channel? 400X2 bridged? Also why is DOWN4SOUND showing them available already?

Do you need both positives and negative to get full power from the sfb 600d or can you run a single positive and single negative? I have two 4ohm dvc subs

How come I grabbed one of the first sfb 3k’s and got all stoked bout the new bass knob and it came wit a plain Jane one wit no clip light or anything special? I looked like a Toolbag talking trash to my dealer bout how these come with the new hotness and we open it up and I got the hifonics (jk) basic a.. knob that boss amps come with. Lol. Let me know how I can perhaps scoop the knob that’s actually for these amps plz

I have an sfb 1000. I wired in a ds18 v2hl line out converter. Have a strong ground, 150amp fuse, and sky high remote wire ran to an ignition wire off my stock head unit. I hook the amp up with only power ground and remote and when i turn the car on its in protection mode (protect light blinking), clip light solid, and power light has a slow blink. Not sure why its doing it.

Can you do a video on the 1800.5 channel amp dont understand how it is rated for example 1-2 channel at 2 ohm - 300 w rms 3-4 channel at 4 ohms 200 w rms 5 channel, at 1 ohm: 1000w 5 Channel; at 2 & 4 ohm : 500 at 2 / 250 at 4 so for channel 1-2 does each speaker have to to a 4 ohm to get the 4 ohm power rating or will this bring it down to the 2 ohm not sure if it is bridged like a mono block

Will there be 2 ohm models available like other full bridge amp brands have?

hey I have a sfb 1000d and my clip light stays on and I'm also not getting any output to the subs now. any recommendations?

Are you planning to make a preorder option for sfb or salt amplifiers that are coming?

these sfb amps are they considered 2 channel amps stereo? Or would I use one amp per door speakers as like a mono set up??

What are the fuse ratings for the amps?

What does the remote knob with these units do??? I had an SFB2000.1 and the remote knob had “Bass Gain” printed on it, but I switched for the 5k version and the remote for it has “Bass Level” printed on it. Add all this to the fact that the screw on the unit itself that’s labeled “Level” is actually a bass boost adjustment and it’s pretty confusing. In the pdf manual that Sundown finally released this week for these amps, it just says the remote attenuates between the lowest setting and highest setting. WHAT SETTING IS IT ADJUSTING???

Ok my local shop pared that amp to a mojo mini 8 . The clip light stay lighting up is it the sub cant handle it or is the amp to small

I just picked up the sfb 2000 since I needed a small amp that puts out 2k at 1ohm. I had the sae 2000 but it's too big to mount to my back seats in my 2020 charger scat pack. Can't wait to get it wired up. It's powering 1 X10 v2 just waiting for down4sound to make my box.

The topology of these amplifiers only share the full bridge, in what they differ the most is in the type of rail they use, sundown uses a double rail, eg:+ - 70v and the Brazilian amps use a single rail, that is, a 160v rail, What if they seem to share is the use of a control chip that is in charge of source oscillation and amplification oscillation. In addition, they share the high frequency of oscillation in the amplification phase and this is what makes both amplifiers so efficient.

Hey Derek I want to switch over to a sundown woofer I have a Rockford 1500bdcp at 1ohm it's rms is 1803 what sub do u recommend I'm putting it in my work van thanks

What's up guy, I have a sundown audio sfb 3000D. My bass adjust makes noises when I adjust for more bass so I bought another one to replace. I hooked the new one up and now my amp is locked up in protection mode. Please please please help me!

I ordered a 1500 watt sundown amp I had it for 3 plus months I installed it yesterday I hook thr power,ground and remote wire. It went straight into clip light with no subs hooked up... I emailed the company already to see what to do

How do you gain match 2 SFB amps to a single d1 sub? Due to them being full bridge, don't they have to have a load on them when powered up?

Hi Derick, my question is can you control 2 sfb 5000d's with 1 bass knob? Thank's in advance.

What would the tune look like on the sfb 1500d if I'm running 2 Sundown Audio SA-12 D4 Classics at 1500 rms?

I think my rca on my sae 3000.1d went bad... would this be a better amplifier?

You talked about putting to much voltage to the SFB. What would be the lowest you would want your voltage to drop to while pushing it full tilt?

Do you have to use both grounds and positives to power it?

Can i use 1000 or 1500 on your shallow 10s for my harley ? Do not wanting to go with sound digital.

Can the sfb1000.4 have enough power to push 4 rcf 10 inch 700rms midrange at 8 ohms each

Which a better 1500.1 the SAEv3 or SFB?

are they good for phoenix gold elites 2-12s TI312D4X

and a full bridge design could technically push the same current as the SCV line's half bridge with the correct selection of FETs, i have noticed that the SFB uses the smaller TO-220 style FETs in the power supply rather than the bigger TO-247s like the output section uses, which I find interesting, the SCV line uses all TO-247 style... this may be part of why the amp shows high power at higher ohms, but hits a limit on power as you lower the impedance, as the power supply's rails collapse as more current is drawn from the amplifier section.... which isn't necessarily a bad thing as that allows more power as the impedance rises during play

will it run the sa 10 inch subs

Are the sfb lines just as reliable as the Korean built line . And how many amps does the 8k and 2k pull at 1 ohm load each how much electrical would you need to run the 8k on bass and 2 k on voice thanks

@wow1022

4 жыл бұрын

the korean line is built far more robust, especially in the power supply of the amp... if you want to figure out out the max possible current draw just use I = (P/0.9)/V, and V = ~14V, 0.9 is roughly the efficiency, music is very dynamic so the amount electrical you need really depends on the length of time you plan on blaring 10kW of power... first start with an upgraded alternator of around 300A rating as this will give you roughly 200A at idle for 2880W of continuous power as the engine is running, next would be the batteries, this is where you have many options depending on how long you want to blare 10kW of power... many single batteries can push the other 572A for short enough periods of time for music dynamics, it's just the longer you want to do it the more batteries you will have to stack... it's just up to you really... just MONITOR VOLTAGE is critical

You ever figure it out? On mine I just set both to the lowest setting. Low pass starts at 80hz according to the printing on the amp and the high pass starts at 15hz. So that drops anything below 15hz and above 80hz which is right in the range I want for my SA 12v2. I was scratching my head a minute from the lack of a crossover switch when I first got it but it sounds good this way which is good enough I suppose.
