      Yes because he's a trusted name in car audio amp dyno videos, not sure about Ryan Blankenship, I feel he's been paid or given something from wolfram, not saying he rigged the videos, im saying not sure I trust him for an honest review is all..

    This Salt 8k is real. It's the most expensive and efficient amplifier that I have ever bought. Going into my 2021 Frontier Crew Cab with 2)ZV6 10"S @ 1ohm. Every speaker in the truck was already swapped out with SKAR TX series the day after purchasing the truck. Now I have all SA series components to swap before the Salt 500.4 goes in.
    Thanks for taking the time to post this and the rest of the unofficial videos. After 3-4 years just watching inventory movement I rolled the dice and landed on snake eyes 👀. 👀 I got one of the Salt 8ks that Derrick Haddock personally played with. It was probably in Project SPL at 1point. THANK YOU to Sundown audio and everyone who makes the team what it is. Pure Dynamite

    the best amps are always rated at lower more realistic average voltage like 12.6 to 13.5 most people cant afford 16 v or 14 v systems. most people dont see 14.4 . glad to see sundown starting to make properly rated amps like orion

      That's why you can run a Taramps at 12.6 volts battery power and its very efficient their just the opposite of Korean amplifiers? Korean amplifiers like alternator voltage Taramps like battery voltage? I rather deal with the Brazilian amplifiers for now?

    Would love to here a serious discussion on the technology involved with the amp. Power supply design, all the way down to deciding which FETs you choose and why, etc. I know, maybe too geeky but would love to here what yall felt you can share with us.

    • @steve390gold
      @steve390gold 5 років тому

      Agreed!! I notice the massive increase in heatsink surface area which suggests MUCH beefier mosfet being employed. Perhaps the same insane FETS that the brazilian amps are using.

    • @steve390gold
      @steve390gold 5 років тому

      What IC chips yall using on the driver card? The IR21844s or something else? Hopefully also using a decent set of buffer transistors betqeen the IC and the output fets as well.
      (Im repairing a hifonics Golaith 5kW that did NOT employ any buffer transistors at all....so of course all the IR21844s ICs smoked when the output side died....lol)

      @@SacredTanakh regardless they should be able to give us a basic brief on the design - I doubt they took it on faith so they would want a full rundown on its design and manufacturing process. It is carrying their name. I know I would damn sure want to know it. I also suspect they had to make choices along the way - I know when ever I had something built for my company back when I was a project manager for a broadcast network we did a full design review. Especially when millions are involved.

      Down for sound is a good place to buy but not on the amplifiers orion all day long for composition power .

This was my first experience with sundown and so far am pleased with it. He has 3 sundown e15 d2 subs on a sundown sax 1200d at 1.3 ohms. We did the big three, optima battery, and rockford 10 farad cap and all 0 gauge ofc. What is a realistic power number he should get. NC born and raised.
