That is sweet thank you for rating under wattage.
Thanks for the video
Can you do an in car test showing it on the power probe?
Wowwww. Size and the design that baby looks like the old school 40w x 2 amp 90s .. Nice performance
Outstanding!!!
Mine just blew with a skar15 SDR🤦
Sundown audio beast mode
BAM I called 3270 on the 1.3 test and y’all spit out a 3277 way to go Sundown Audio keep up the good work!!!! Love your products
Full clipping and distortion...hooked up to a actual sub without clipping or distortion thus only produces around 1600 watts
@@seankiesling2054 not certified clean power no distortion.
Maybe up to clipping uncertified test would distort.
Turn it up!
Amp dyno on the SIA 3500?
Damn that's awesome!!!!
HOLY SHIT
i wish i had a 6.5 subwoofer this coming christmas 👏🎁💖
Impressive.
Damn run that baby to clipping!!! Awesome amps
Looks like my new Amps !!
I have taramps and i got to say im ok with it. But I would definitely change them to those amps soon. I got sundown subs and they are a beast
Impressive very impressive
Would still like to see big D whiz test it!!!
@@zachjohnson1 because of the scv3000d. That amp was a deceitful, overpriced POS that barely mustered rated, and they got called out. Jacob popped in and made himself look stupid. Sent another to big d, and was identical. Since then, I don't recommend or run sundown.
Man i want some of this sundown stuff.
DAAAMN😱👍👍
Can I use one like this for my X12 V3 sundown subwoofer??
Dam what an amp
I want one, or two!
The average user doesnt drive around at 14.6v or above. Test the amps at 13.8 to 14.2v
I gotta have that 8k, those amps are bad ass
good power but, the efficiency is a seesaw, I don't know if the ammeter was not fast enough but I think 1ohm is the sweet spot of these amplifiers , 61%@4ohm, 57% @2ohm , 64% @1.3ohm, 87%@1ohm (certified).
Oh my lawrd
How well do they stay cool
Can u do the Sundown SIA 3500.1D?
I'd need to see at most 14.4V numbers
I like the long videoes
Very nice numbers!! If you have any need for some testing on the 8k in Nor Cal I could test it on a pair of 21s. :)
I just ordered this 3k for my 2
FI SSD 15"s.hopefully a great match
I just received the 2 X Fi xv3 12" subs and also running this 3K. It is getting installed this week. Any updates on yours?
i really really want to know what u guys think of this 3K on subs. about to pull the trigger myself on this thing
@@larry9729
No yet..i just ordered my h.o. alternator. I will have an update sometime in February
I finally got my SFB 3000D hooked up on my Fi xv3 12s, and only at 1/4 gain to wait till my breaking period, and this thing is sick. The custom box is tuned to 40hz. My 2018 GX 460 SUV is loving the power. Damn thing doesn't even rattle. NOTHING Rattles!! Only had to put a couple pieces of weather stripping on the plate, but that is it. Box has about 2.1 cu ft per sub, with the subs inverted in a V config. Can't wait till the break in period is over and subs get to really moving! So far, I'm impressed.
I like the longer videos ✅ whether new product testing/ torture tests /project SPL .. I think ppl may complain cuz you say part 2 coming soon then disappear for a week each time & it happens more now.
Wow .. these make power at 2-4 ohm that’s great for impedance rise ✅💪
“ A little small 270 amp alt “ hold up... 270 Amp alt is huge alt lol most ppl have 80-150 amp alts lol
I don’t think something labeled as Output should be used for input ... thanks for the vid...
How does the sound compare to a Korean half bridge? I’ve never heard a full bridge amp
Efficiency was 53% at 2 ohms, 64% at 1.33, and I think it had to pull more that 260 @ 1 ohm other wise it's 88% efficient at 1 ohm which seem way high especially for a full bridge. Thing is a power house though still planning on picking one up at tax time for my two 15's.
The true efficiency doesnt come across correctly in the video. Got a video coming soon to explain in more detail.
so did I see that right? It pulled 350amps to make 3200w give or take at 1.33 ohm and then only pulled 266amps to make 3400w at 1ohm?
I just bought one of these things and I must say. In over 15 years of being into car audio I've never been more disappointed in a piece of car audio equipment than I am with this amp. This amp is a step above junk. One step...literally 1 step
1000x better than my last Alpine amp. I’ve literally used it daily @1ohm zero issues and it slams my 2 12s.
@@matt6951 yes... they had 100s of returns of these amps...the SFBs were an epic failure
@@seankiesling2054 100s, they sold hundreds of thousands.. this amp made them a fucking boat load of cash.
The reminder of the size reminds me of a saying my uncle would say to his wife he would say in Spanish but would say "little but hot" or " little bit packs a punch" an im assuming he was talking about his whang lol
@@chrisminjarez8508 yessss!!! Lmao he got her every time lol appreciate it couldn't remember it when i was writing this
3400 certified. 3500 uncertified at 1 ohm.
I just wished that if these amps require a dual 1/0 input that they would have designed it with dual inputs like Orion did on their 3000 watt amp.
I noticed that as well my man. Got two 3ks feeding 2 12” hccas but dual runs is a must just gotta get the reducers np
Trying to decide between this amp and the soundigital sd3000.1. I'm running 3 12" subs with a 2.66 ohm load. Gotta see which amp will give me more power at that load plus with imp rise. Price is similar and so is the size. And throw the Tiffany RCA on the 3000!
3750 @1ohm
That would be sweet if we could see the dynamic I have a sfb 2k I cant find another videos on a dyno other than on here but he dont test em on dynamic love yalls channel tho love sundown period
How is it hitting 350a when the amplifier and has 35a fuses for protection?
test it at 12.6 that's the real test
Looking forward for a test with 5 minutes full Power @ 1 Ohm :-)
I saw the guts from the other video. I don't think that it would hold up well, the power supply transformers weren't that beefy and there's no way they could withstand 150+ amps apiece continuous. I hope they have a good protection circuit in them.
Then again, music isn't a continuous sine wave bass tone. I'd definitely trust them at 2 ohms. Even at 2 ohms the power/price ratio blows everything else out of the water.
The orion xtr2500.1 puts out 3288watts at 13.64 volts at 1 ohm certified. So i would say its better. And its a 12v/14.4v amp
@@thorlancaster5641 So, you're saying Sundown made a 3,000 watt amp that can't be used daily at it's advertised 1ohm?
Well then this amp would be the first time I've seen something from Sundown not perform as advertised.
@@ThisGuyDrives I've built a few class D amps before and there's no way the number of FETs they used could handle rated power continuously. Even with state of the art FETs such as IRLB8743s. They get away with this because music is not a straight sine tone. If you tried to play a straight sine tone it would hopefully go into protect.
What a steal of a deal. As soon as I saw the price this got added to my shopping cart. Now to wait for tax return. I'm stoked.
Lmao.. it's that price for a reason... I thought the samething. Purchased this exact amp to push one 15 and the sub barely moves. In 15 years of being into car audio I've never been more dissapointed than I am with this
I need this lil amp in my life. But im poor.
No! Save your money. I bought this hunk of junk and never been more disappointed in something than I am with this amp
Honestly I watch Amp Dynos to see if the amp will do more than advertised. Without you not uncertified/dynamic test I feel like a lot of people are disappointed in your videos. It almost seems like Sundown is forcing not run any different kinds of runs.
I want to power this amp in a house, how many amps would the power supply have to be rated for? Can anyone help 😭😭
Epic. But those amp prices kill it man. Your speakers are definitely worth the premium. But those amp prices are cray cray. I still love and fully support you guys
Jacob Fuller
I know right? The price is great for the amount of TRUE power they put out.
My Stetsom is 3000 watt and cost me $450. So that Sundown amp is a small and well priced machine. 👍🏻
Please show me the long list of amps that are this powerful for cheaper.
The only other amp out there thay competes for price and power to this is Orion xtr 2500.1. I already have the xtr. I'm getting this little beast here in a couple weeks. Killer deal.
I'm watching more of your videos and more whiskey tasting videos both are pleasant Making me want to RIP out my skar amp
So 266 amp draw. 15ft run of #2 welding wire should be good? It’s rated for 300 amps
Play a complete song at 1 ohm, test out the heat sink build up and heat dissipation. Thats were it will prove it self from the rest. Nice amps. Az summer heat in a trunk is the test.
I have one it is all U say it is, one problem it did not come with manual, can U tell were i can get a manual.
That amp is about 65% efficiency at 1 ohm.....not bad, but that other 35% will be shed as heat through the heatsink. With such a small heatsink, are you confident it can radiate enough of that excess heat to provide reliable play over a long period of time?
This is why I want to get the 8k and run it at 2 ohms on my 2 18s. Stay efficient
20yrs ago if I saw an amp this size and it said 3000 watts I would expect it to put out around 30-40 watts and have an IC amp chip lol
Well, I just purchased this amp and had it installed..it most certainly does nootttt put out 3k watts like it says. In 15 years of car audio I've never been more disappointed with a piece of car audio equipment as I am with this box of junk... don't buy
@@seankiesling2054 Did you clamp what you actually hit? very interested in seeing real world results on this amp.
I have a Skar SD8 make one of these with about 750watts 4ohm please
love the videos, keep them coming. The 1 ohm test seemed to shut off prematurely or was I imagining things??? lets see that test again with one camera on the protect light of the amp and one camera on the dyno. Not trying to debunk your results, just curiosity.
I would love to see what the 8000d does at 2 ohms. I need a clean 5k out of it. Hope it will do that atleast.
If the trend shown here holds through the series you'll def get 5,000w if you can feed it the voltage/amps it wants.
2500 @ 2 ohm and 4200 @ 1
What's the recommended fuse rating for this 3000d amp.
I said it before but I am in complete shock and awe seeing a Brazilian style amp with 1/0 terminals. you may have just destroyed the space time continuum
Brazilian amps are known for being extremely powerful how ever its dirty power not clean power. Absolute best boards you can get for clean power are Korean boards. Why you think you wont catch hardly any Brazilian builds in the us the world records are all done on Korea boards.
@@ColdVenom159 Lookin at the inside of those things they almost look industrial, like a power inverter. Not pleasing to the eye. These seem to make power the "cheap" way by operating at insane voltage levels. They must clip really easily which is why i'm not surprised to see the brazillian companies going way out of their way to include dash mounted clip indicators which many dedicated sub amps don't feel the need to ship with.
@@rmblwgn oh I believe it with me if it's not a Korean board I will not buy it. In person I've seen to many fails with amps and subs all sundown. I refuse to spend the insane cost they charge.
@@ColdVenom159 im a budget amp fiend, i spend hours looking for deals online. I got a DUAL da6001 on amazon which does almost 1400w for $70(one night sale). I look on the bottom... made in korea.... in 2013 LOL
@@rmblwgn if that dual does a real 1400w which i highly doubt damn good deal. The amp take 3 30 amp fuses which in total is 90amps 90 amps at 13 volts is only 1170.00watts if you are actually able to hold a solid 13 volts at 12 volts it would put out 1080.00watts. next time you have system cranked feel your subs specially your amp if its a bit warm youre clipping it aka you have distortion which hurts your power alot. a properly tuned amp on decent power will hardly get warm. you say youre on stock which im assuming electrical which means you charge at 12 volts so youre only getting 1080.00watts long as you arent clipping the amp. sorry to break it to you man.
I need that amp.........
I have a question i don't know what to set my high and low frequencies at i have 2 Sundown sa d2's 1000 watts each and i have the Sundown sfb 3000d amp. The high and low fqs are confusing me. Please help
Sundown X18 on sfb3000 what should low crossover be set at
So how does this allow you to daisy chain those inputs, is there a switch to make it a pass though or to allow stereo operation? If not then you're basically putting one input into to another causing the preamp to fight its self...
That's so totally amazingly impressive
Why the amplifier efficiency is so low for 4ohm and 2ohm tests??
Really Niiiiice!!!
My electrical system can’t support 360 amp draw. My alternator is all together 150 amps.
Yes but your car also has a battery. Your electrical can put up more than 150 amps in bursts. To run 3,000w+ you're always going to need some kind of electrical upgrade to get the full benefit.
At 2 ohms I’m thinking 2150 and 1 ohm 3600. 😳
Awesome, the 3k is more than I need, but I find myself wanting the 5 or 8kw!! I'm guessing the 8k should do nearly 9kw! I'm gonna need more subs!! I have always heard you are more likely to blow a sub with a undersize amp than over! Clipping kills! Man doi want one of these, I guess it will be the 3k or 5k, can these amps get any cheaper, back in the day this would be about $3+ grand,
Absolutely amazing power from such a small amp👍
It would be nice to know who the select dealers are. D4S has this listed and sold out. Google says, what is a Sundown Audio SFB-3000d? I feel like I'm chasing unicorns these days. Not just Sundown, other companies too.
We brought in 100 pcs by Express to get them out into some peoples hands. The majority went to Down4Sound, WoofersEtc, VexPro, and The Wholesale House.
They'll be available everywhere when the ocean freight portion comes in around 10/14/19
@@jacobfuller9893 That sir, is what I am talking about. Now I know, thank you.
Holy hell. $350 2 ohm 2k+ ... buying 1 later today if there are any available.
New to Sundown... let's see how you push my 10" CT MESO D1 DVC SUB which handles 1500 rms & 3k peak... Christmas in January.
These similiar too mmats
I wonder if anyone knows what power it will do at 8ohms?
So how much current did it pull at 1ohm certified? Also what was the power dynamically at 1ohm?
We love long vids do more long vids
When is the sundown sfb 5000d comes out
that sounds like the power supply is undersized for the capability of the amp section, the rail voltage is dropping as the amp draws more power, so much so that you got only 3200W @ 1 yet get 2500W @ 2, instead of a linear 1250W @ 4, 2500W @ 2, 5000W @ 1
Yes, of course, with a higher cost power supply it could push out more at the lower impedance. These are made to be ran at 1-ohm nominal where you generally have decent reactive impedance "rise" -- they are NOT made to be ran below 1-ohm (where you would need that beefier power supply).
Our more expensive stuff, on the other hand, is happy at the lower loads.
@@jacobfuller9893 i do enjoy my SCV2000D my dude, kinda sad it was discontinued
@@jacobfuller9893 but my concerns are in the life expectancy of the power supply transformer, if the amp is pulling so much current to collapse the rail voltage so much, V^2/R says you are dishing a lot of power out of that transformer (assuming the transformer is the highest impedance path between the power supply fets and the amp itself)
@@wow1022 We may end up with a SALT-2 in our line (a Korean successor to the SCV-2000D). With the tariffs on China hitting 30% it is likely the SAE line will phase out and return to Korea in the SALT series.
@@wow1022 On the transformers: If we see any longevity issues we will upgrade them down the line. In our testing so far they are holding up well and don't appear to be getting unusually hot. But we do take reports from our repair center into consideration when updating amps =) These do carry our full 2-year warranty as well.
The sia 3500d could I run it on a 300 amp js alt and stock battery I hold 14.9 volts when no amp is hooked up I'm powering a x15v3 with it
Which amp is better this one or the sfb 5000 for a zv5 15
I have 2 Sundown SA-10 V.2 D2 would this amp be a good fit
Would this be good on 2 kicker L7 Q-class 12s? 900 RMS a piece
Super super good amp the price is the only thing that hurts everyone sorry I meant me I don't know everybody...
what is the efficiency at 1 ohm certified?
Just set the clamp meter to peak hold.
Damn...that’s 87% efficiency???? At 1 ohm?!?
So if you use the output to another 3k would you have to use 2 bass knobs or would they match up with the input amp?
so.... this would need a electric car dedicated just for that one amp! to the the car show then strait home to recharge!
So I’m guessing this amp performs poorly at 12.6volts?
thanks for putting up the clamp!!!
