Sundown E v.2 Drop-in Recones

It will take on average, 2-14 days for a drop-in re-cone to be completed. Drop-in kits DO NOT include shims or glue. White paper trimmed / stacked to spec works perfectly for shimming -- use enough where it is snug but not so tight you can barely get the coil in the gap. For glue, we suggest Loc-Tite 5-minute epoxy with mixing tubes to glue the spider to the frame (MAKE SURE to sand it first) and we suggest E6000 for the surround and dust cap (sand frame for surround and rough up the glue surface of the dust cap with sand paper as well). WE CANNOT WARRANTY DIY RE-CONE ASSEMBLY ISSUES. If you are not 100% sure about re-coning, please ask us or send it in. We can ONLY stand behind labor that we perform. Manufacturing defects in the kit itself are of course our responsibility but installation is 100% the customer responsibility. This includes ticking, broken parts, etc. Thank you for understanding.

Refurbished Sundown SA-8" v.1 & v.1.5 Subwoofer

It will take on average, 2-14 days for a subwoofer to be built and shipped. The SA8 v.1 and v.1.5 use the same motor and coil, but the change to v.1.5 brought on a new cone, spider, and basket. Because the v.1.5 has far superior parts, all motors will be built up with v.1.5 parts. All you'll need to pick is the impedance of the coil. Dual 2ohm or Dual 4ohm. **Please understand that this is a refurbished subwoofer.** Explanation of a refurbished subwoofer: Sub may have scratches, blemishes and not look 100% brand new since we are re-using a working motor and frame (unless a new frame is requested upon purchase), and installing brand new parts inside i.e. cone, coil, spider, triple joint ring, and dust cap. This subwoofer will function just as new and comes with a 30-day guarantee against build defects. INFORMATION BELOW IS TAKEN FROM THE SUNDOWN WEBSITE Several versions of the SA-8 v.1 exist -- you can CLICK HERE to help determine which one you have. The SA-8 v.1 features a heavy duty 2" copper voice coil and a double layer sandwich spider pack to support it's high level of excursion and to facilitate it's tremendous output potential. It features the same unique voice coil ventilation system seen on the SA-10/12/15 woofers to help it achieve industry leading thermal power handling. As with all Sundown Audio woofers the SA-8 is made to work in SMALL enclosures. By small we mean 0.5-0.6 cubic foot ported boxes. Due to the VERY strong motor of the SA-8 we DO NOT suggest using them in large enclosures.

Refurbished Sundown SA-8" v.2 Subwoofer

It will take on average, 2-14 days for a subwoofer to be built and shipped. **Please understand that this is a refurbished subwoofer.** Explanation of a refurbished subwoofer: Sub may have scratches, blemishes and not look 100% brand new since we are re-using a working motor and frame (unless a new frame is requested upon purchase), and installing brand new parts inside i.e. cone, coil, spider, triple joint ring, and dust cap. This subwoofer will function just as new and comes with a 30-day guarantee against build defects. INFORMATION PULLED FROM SUNDOWN WEBSITE The SA-8 v.2 represents the pinnacle of low distortion, ported box 8 inch subwoofer technology. Every piece of the SA-8 v.2 has been custom tooled with the utmost performance and lowest distortion in mind. We started with a proprietary FEA optimized motor design made just for the SA-8 v.2 which features double farady rings just like it's bigger brothers. This motor is mated to a custom tooled and patented (US Patent D691595) frame which allows for a larger spider and superior clearances to nearly any other 8" woofer on the market today. The spider itself was custom tooled to achieve a very even compliance curve and also features double, tied down tinsel leads to handle incredible amounts of power. The SA-8 v.2 also features a full 16mm of Klippel verified one-way linear excursion and mechanical capacity in excess of double the linear limits to ensure that mechanical failures are nearly impossible at any reasonable power level. The SA-8 v.2 takes a departure from it's larger cone diameter siblings in terms of the voice coil ventilation. We still use our "trademark" vented spacer ring but the SA-8 v.2 features a solid pole piece to allow the maximum level of magnetic flux to pass through it. As the SA-8 v.2 uses a 2" coil there is less steel in the pole than with a larger diameter coil so we preserved all of it. We still took great care to fully test and optimize the ventilation in the SA-8 v.2 to ensure thermal reliability even under the most punishing conditions. As with our SD-2 series the solid pole also allows mounting directly against or very close to the enclosure back-wall; thus reducing the effective depth requirement of the woofer. As the SA-8 v.2 is already very deep for an 8" woofer this is a very important feature when presented with tight mounting requirements. The standard SA-8 v.2 features a 4-layer copper voice coil for the most possible low-end extension. We do offer SPL models with lighter coils and even "extreme SPL" models with harder spider packs and other impedance configurations (these must be custom built). We can use anywhere from 2 to 6 spider layers on SPL versions to tailor the FS where it needs to be for a given SPL application.

Refurbished Sundown SA-8" v.3 Subwoofer

It will take on average, 2-14 days for a subwoofer to be built and shipped. **Please understand that this is a refurbished subwoofer.** Explanation of a refurbished subwoofer: Sub may have scratches, blemishes and not look 100% brand new since we are re-using a working motor and frame (unless a new frame is requested upon purchase), and installing brand new parts inside i.e. cone, coil, spider, triple joint ring, and dust cap. This subwoofer will function just as new and comes with a 30-day guarantee against build defects. INFORMATION BELOW IS TAKEN FROM THE SUNDOWN WEBSITE SA-8 v.3: The SA-8 v.3 represents the pinnacle of low distortion, ported box 8 inch subwoofer technology. We built on our experience with the SA-8 series dating back to the original model which launched in 2010 to create something completely unique to the market. Every piece of the SA-8 v.3 has been custom tooled with the utmost performance and lowest distortion in mind. We started with a proprietary FEA optimized motor design engineered just for the SA-8 v.3 which features a large aluminum faraday right for low magnetic and inductive distortion levels. This motor is mated to a custom tooled and patented (US Patent D691595) frame which allows for a larger spider and superior clearances to nearly any other 8" woofer on the market today. The spider itself was custom tooled to achieve a very even compliance curve over its entire range of stroke and also features large tied down “XL” tinsel leads to handle incredible amounts of power and abuse. The SA-8 v.3 features a full 16mm of Klippel verified one-way linear excursion and mechanical capacity in excess of double the linear limits (around 2.5” peak-to-peak) to ensure that mechanical failures are nearly impossible. We also tooled an all new surround for the v.3 update with the same incredibly linear geometry as the Mega-Roll v.2 surrounds found on our larger woofers (X v.2 series and larger). The SA-8 v.3 takes a departure from its larger cone diameter siblings in terms of the voice coil ventilation. Just like its predecessor, the SA-8 v.2, we employed a solid pole-piece to maximum magnetic flux in the motor – but in order to reduce mounting depth we did not use a vented frame spacer and, instead, drilled vent holes around the basket base. In order to exceed the thermal performance of the v.2 model we added sixteen chamfered gap vents to the back plate to keep the high-velocity air flowing over the voice coil. In other words – the SA-8 v.3 will give you everything that you loved about the v.2 but with even more durability & even lower distortion. The standard SA-8 v.3 features a 4-layer copper voice coil wound on a black anodized aluminum former for the most possible low-end extension. We do offer SPL models with lighter coils and even "extreme SPL" models with harder spider packs and other impedance configurations (these must be custom built). We can use anywhere from 2 to 6 spider layers on SPL versions to tailor the FS where it needs to be for a given SPL application.

Refurbished Sundown SA v.1 (Original Black Motor) Subwoofer

It will take on average, 2-14 days for a subwoofer to be built and shipped. **Please understand that this is a refurbished subwoofer.** Explanation of a refurbished subwoofer: Sub may have scratches, blemishes and not look 100% brand new since we are re-using a working motor and frame (unless a new frame is requested upon purchase), and installing brand new parts inside i.e. cone, coil, spider, triple joint ring, and dust cap. This subwoofer will function just as new and comes with a 30-day guarantee against build defects. INFORMATION BELOW IS TAKEN FROM THE SUNDOWN WEBSITE SA-10/12/15 Original Black Motor: The Sundown SA series has been our most popular product line since the introduction of the SA-12 in 2009. It was the result of over a year of testing and prototyping until all of our goals and expectations were blown away. The SA series has continually evolved over the years thanks to extensive testing and feedback from our SPL competition Team and our customers but still stays true to its legendary design heritage. It has never failed to prove itself year-in and year-out in every application ranging from daily musical builds to all-out SPL competition vehicles. When designing the SA series we started out with an FEA optimized motor & coil design capable of 19mm of one-way Klippel verified excursion and just over 33mm of x-mech. This motor & coil setup was then mated up to an extremely robust double-layer Nomex spider with fully tied-on “XL” tinsel leads (84-Strands of Conductor), an SPL competition grade paper cone, and a strong foam surround. The motor also features a large magnet ID shorting ring (faraday ring) to reduce distortion causes by inductance & inductance variation over stroke. We realized that this still was not enough to meet our goal of delivering the best driver on market in this price range to our customers. To that end we designed a highly optimized voice coil cooling system that has since found its way into almost every other subwoofer we make to this day. This system allows our 2.5" coil to match and exceed the thermal performance of many competing 3" coil drivers on the market without requiring the usage of a much heavier voice coil than required for the design. The result is that the SA features the ideal mix of mass & stiffness to give you the best performance in nearly every type of enclosure.All of this hard work and engineering has led to the incredible reputation now enjoyed by the SA series worldwide. We are very proud of what these woofers are capable of and we believe that they are one of the best woofers on the market today hands down for the money.

Refurbished Sundown U Series Subwoofer

It will take on average, 2-14 days for a subwoofer to be built and shipped. **Please understand that this is a refurbished subwoofer.** Explanation of a refurbished subwoofer: Sub may have scratches, blemishes and not look 100% brand new since we are re-using a working motor and frame (unless a new frame is requested upon purchase), and installing brand new parts inside i.e. cone, coil, spider, triple joint ring, and dust cap. This subwoofer will function just as new and comes with a 30-day guarantee against build defects. INFORMATION BELOW IS TAKEN FROM THE SUNDOWN WEBSITE The Sundown U Series is our premier “standard suspension” woofer series. It is the most direct replacement for the world famous Z v.3 woofer line which we produced from 2011 to 2016 before launching the “new platform” Z v.4 series. Due to numerous advancements in our design process the U Series is able to deliver performance on-par with the Z v.3 series but at a much lower cost. We start with a double-stacked / 8.66” wide Y35 grade ferrite magnet system coupled to a one-piece, bumped T-Yoke and a 0.6” thick top-plate. Just as with the Z v.3 before it and our other high-end subwoofers we also add a very thick (5mm thickness) aluminum shorting ring inside the magnets to reduce static inductance and level out inductance over stroke. The U series motor also features a 0.6” long pole-extension to keep the coil under control at high levels of excursion. The voice coil is a 2.36” long / 3” diameter 4-layer aluminum winding / aluminum former unit – which is the same coil we use in our X v.2 series and, thus, the U series has the same 1500-watt RMS ratings. The coil temperature is kept in check by a heavily smoothed / high-velocity pole-vent and a series of ten direct air-gap vents in the back plate. The U series also features newly tooled cast aluminum vent rings in between the frame and top plate to effectively exchange air at a high velocity over the voice coil beneath the spider landing. The U series features an all-new cast aluminum frame series to the Sundown line which allows for taller cones than the older frames used on the Z v.3 series. The taller cones provide enhanced coil stability and increased mechanical excursion capability. We also tooled matching cast-aluminum surround clamps for the U series to ensure durability in the most demanding situations. The surrounds and cone bodies have been fully custom tooled especially for the U series and are stronger / support more excursion than the Z v.3 series cones and surrounds. The new cone bodies also feature an indentation for the same wide-flange, ultra-strong dust caps as our new platform subwoofers. If you are looking for a woofer that sounds similar to the SA series but handles significantly more power… the U series is exactly what you need. It has been designed to live up to the reputation earned by our Z v.3 series both in terms of every-day music enjoyment and SPL competition. Features & Technology: Xmax = 30mm one-way by 70% BL RMS Power = 1500-watts * Heavily vented magnetic gap * Optimized high-velocity pole vent * Innovative high-velocity vented frame spacer ring Black Aluminum 3” voice coil former for superior heat dissipation High Temperature 4-Layer Round Wire Coil Large aluminum Faraday Ring (Magnet ID) Spring Loaded Terminals Stitched-On Double-XL Tinsel Leads to prevent fatigue and failure Bolted-On Surrounds Bolted-On 100% Nomex Spiders High-Strength Cast Aluminum Frame Optimized for small ported & band-pass enclosures”
