NEW SUNDOWN AUDIO FACTORY TOUR. A day in the life of Sundown, An Audio Fanatics Paradise.

- This is an Eat Sleep BASS Repeat exclusive! We flew from California to North Carolina and filmed the daily processes of the Sundown Audio factory, plus added in some bonus interview material with some of the key employees that make it all happen. This facility is amazingly huge and I filmed almost 2 hours of footage. I managed to condense it down to some of the exciting points of the day for this tour video. I hope you enjoy this film as is it was a great trip that allowed us to answer a few of the Long asked historical questions about Sundown Audio, plus give a good representation of where the company is in 2022 with their growing process. There are some parts of the filming which I didn’t show, and that would be the other half of the facility which is concentrated on new products that are ready to ship. Special Thank You to Jacob Fuller and his staff for having us at the factory!
Please stay tuned and subscribe as we will be adding more and more content as time goes on!
Thank you for tuning in to…

This may be my best video yet, hope you like it. Cheers 🍻
Cheers 🍻
@Hamburgers Hope it turned out ok :)
@@Guerito4life cheers 🍻
My warranty experience was positive. Great company to deal with. Same with Woofers Etc.
And that's why I love sundown audio you guys are amazingly awesome I never met a subwoofer company that was willing to do that much and go that far I love you guys you are so awesome 💯 PERCENT perfect
Right on!
I did the suprise me from Sundown right as i started getting into bass. I did the 99. 00 one just to see what happens. They sent me a sa15 rev3 d4. 249.00 for 99 bucks and all that was wrong with it was a tiny little bit of glue was on the frame. Sundown Audio is the best in my opinion. Many equal companies like db or fi or pride and so many more. Imma Sundown Audio guy for life.
Been running two SA 10 classic for 8 years now in a walled off trunk build. Currently wired to .5 ohm taking 1000w per sub. Amazing subwoofers and company.
As Jacob had stated the SA series has been mostly unchanged for 9 years… that’s a testament to the design for sure 👍
@@eatsleepbassrepeat I believe the only change they did on them was the tinsel leads. I got my classics back when they were rated at 600watts rms. Had em on a kicker 1500w amp at 2ohms tuned at -5db with a dd1 and some how the tinsel leads burnt but after paying sundown to fix them they beefed up the leads and after that 7 years later still bumping in a daily but yea those tinsel leads were weak in the beginning.
By far best video of sundow shop to date. Prototype and all. Thanks for the awsome video and thank you Sundown for allowing it and showing us what we wanted to see.
Thanks 🙏 for the feedback… I travelled cross country to be able to do this video. Please make sure to be subscribed and refer your friends ✊🏻
Thank you for the tour! Lot of us enjoyed that for sure
Glad you liked it! Please share it ✊🏻
Mind blowing video audio commentary demo editing thanks ESBR
Awesome behind the seens footage
Sundown pretty transparent business
research & development in house & many products built in house in the great USA. It takes dedication & fortitude to run a business, but to do
in the USA at this level & still be " consumer people friendly " unheard of
in today's economy. My next system will be a Sundown system thanks to
Jacob, Brandon, Derek.
Great to read your review, you are right. Sundown is raising up to the level of the original great OG USA companies. It’s a beautiful thing to watch that growth, especially when the trend has been counter this direction for so long.
love my zv6's !!! can't wait for a massive zv7 lol
I'm sure Jacob appreciates your loyalty! If ZV7's turn out as rad as the NSV6's - then they will be impressive for sure!
What was the “my speaker” sight where jacobs wife sells speakers?
Thanks for taking me on the Sundown tour!!!!🫶🏾
You’re Welcome ✊🏻
Killer coverage. Dynamite video! Just awesome man, just flippin' awesome.
Thanks! That’s motivating enough to keep me making more.
@@eatsleepbassrepeat This deserves to go viral & if only I had the reach I'd certainly take it there.
Great video, so interesting and informative can’t wait to see more
Thanks 🙏 for saying, I’ll keep working at bringing more cool content. 👍
Amazing vid homie. Can’t go wrong with sundown. Gnarly 🤙🏻
Awesome video!
Just found your channel. I'm digging it! Great content. Now time to binge watch your videos! Lol!
Thank You 🙏 I appreciate that
That's pretty cool. Looks like you had a blast.
Yup, find something you love and it’s never work 😊
Great video! I run one SA 10 and just happened to stumble on this! Thanks!
Love it. Great video
What a video... super lucky. I was only able to be there for the Sundown 2022 get together. It was definitely a bucket list item checked off my list. I'm the most biased individual when it comes to car audio.. Jacob Fuller is a absolute genius and continues to innovative the industry
Thanks 🙏 for the comment !
Yes, Jacob Has a Great Thing Going!
He is definitely on point ✊🏻

Nice video of the Sundown Audio assembly plant.
Thank You 🙏
great video great group of guys,thanks and i always wondered about where jake came up with the name sundown,very cool.thanks
Finally we know, The Outlaws “Hurry Sundown” 1977.
Dave is the man!!!!
Little surprised they let you guys in. But hell yeah!
OUCH! I knew I wasn't pretty, but I didn't know I was THAT ugly ROFL :)
@@eatsleepbassrepeat You should check out nicks stuff next door, at stereo integrity.
19:28 that test was pretty cool. Had my headphones in and it was actually moving air in my ear plug lol. I bet it sounded amazing in there while it was running.
Literally felt my eardrum pulse when it hit that tone drop
Very cool video
Thanks 🙏
I think I have found my new sub company 😅
Thank you for that!
You Got It ✊🏻
Wow man what an amzing walk threw of sundown..do they give everyone that kinda tour or was this a special occasion..this is one of the best detailed tour of the facility and all inside it..and I am with you on the tool room I didn't know that they had all there own brand of tools also..and that lazy Susan was it..did he mention if they will sell those to the public.
I think this was a special scheduling.
I flew from CA to NC.
Sundown Gordon light foot is that the song ❤
The Outlaws is what Jacob told me
Great video 👊🏼 I got the sa-12 v.2 1000w rms running on a JL audio JD 1000/1 amplifier 🔊
Keep it Pushin’
Nice nice...💯🔥
Thanks 🔥
Great video love seeing these types of videos. Love the transparency of Sundown. Jacob doesn't seem to be a snake oil salesman compared to other brands.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, my experience was that this was a group of audiophiles which happen to also know how to run a business. It's a rare find these days for sure!
This is the best tour I've seen so far. Thank you so much for sharing. I love my 2 zv6 12's 🥰
Thank you for saying that 🙏 I’m happy to hear my work paid off. Awesome to hear that you are a loyal Sundown Owner!
I got the same hitachi green and black electric screwdriver they are awesome that’s on the build room table
Maybe I Should Get One 🤔
@@eatsleepbassrepeat do u know whats cool about that electric screwdriver the battery is only a 18650 battery so in a few years You can replace the battery when it dies and not have to worry about exact battery replacement from hitachi I’ve had this tool since late 2016 or early 2017 the Panasonic version is good too but way more pricey
Would love to go to usa just to visit sundown audio and do a factory tour would be sick if i could Do a sub build too ive been designing up my own 6.5” midbass speakers and just got to finish up the Design of the neo motor I’ve got my own custom voice coils made and all other parts ready to go
Would be a dream come true if one day Icould go to sundown audio
I've been able to bottom out the EV. Version 2 :) Could make the coil slap hard lol
Talking about all of that weight, it's a good thing that the guy physically lifting every single subwoofer is wearing Crocs. That's a workman's comp case waiting to happen
Didn’t notice that until you mentioned it! He needs steel toe boots 🥾
Very seldom do subs fail. It’s people clipping them mostly. Most subs can handle way over rated rms IF you don’t clip it.
💯
Agreed.
Are they really coming out with a nightshade 8" sub? I would really love to have one or a 10"!
Don’t rule it out though
If they're destroying coils with abuse not warranted and you have good frames and motors left, maybe offer them the option to pay for the repair, or you'll provide a small dollar amount to them to buy back the woofer to refurb and resell as a refurb. Better than storing.
Great Idea 👍 Core credit, Return.
@@eatsleepbassrepeat waste not want not. And a pile of stuff that will likely never move is a problem that needs resolving.
I'm pretty sure if my job was to recone subwoofers every day I probably could do 50 a day after 5 years I'm pretty fast after I learn how to do something?
Sounds like you better apply for the Job 👌🏻
I subscribed now Im waiting for my chances to win
cool warehouse lol
Man this is a cool video😅😅f
Thanks 🙏
Show top manda 4 desses pra Brasil e meu fusca branca de neve brincar ve em virando...
Sundown top in recone.they should make that a sticker
I've been to many speaker facilities over the years, the percentage amount ratio of recones incoming is pretty consistent with total volume going out. I've seen some of the best subs on earth by many famous brands destroyed by guys who thought the gain knob was "additional volume" sure doesn't work that way. I didn't film too much of the new finished goods in the warehouse area, but the stock was immense. The amount of recones wasn't bad compared to the amount of sheer volume they are sending out.
Fml I’ve seen Kicker, Rockford Fosgate and now Sundown Audio..
If anyone’s got Links to other car audio Factory vids please hit Like then add a Link 🫡💯💯💯💯💯💯
I’ll be visiting more companies soon, stay tuned.
I noticed that the zv6 in the video had the assembled in USA sticker on the basket but the (2) zv6 12s dual 2ohm I got from down4sound don’t have that badges is there a reasoning?
Unfortunately the zv6's without usa stickers have the china coils vs. Usa sticker ones have PE coils(made in USA)
Actually yes there is a reasoning. Joseph is correct about X v.3s in what he said.
BUT the Z v.6 have not had any China production as of now - It's likely that D4S just ran out of the stickers. They have their own assembly crew for Z v.6s =)
I ordered 2 2500 Rockford power amps 3 months ago I'm going to yard sale walt the ac guy😅
Call them up and see if there’s anything not listed.
Had issues with subs was my fault was sent in then told wasn't going to be covered under warranty then offered to rebuild it and send it back for 500 dollars
but for me to buy new was 600 was hoping they'd help just once when asked for help then they offered to send back for 200 dollars 💸 rebuild them yourself or makes no sense to send back to them so they can keep em rebuild and resell
Have you thought about ordering a drop in kit from Apex or Directronix?
@@eatsleepbassrepeat they want 200 dollars to send back the blown subs not worth it can buy new ones for less than 100 more
I need a few of those dust cap weights!! I called Sundown Audio and the lady on the phone was really short with me and told me no they don’t sell the weights or the glue kits 😢
I will look into it for you.
Ever time I checked yard sell website nothing there please help
It must have become more popular since I posted this 😅
Also whay is the rim of the frame so small .its a poor anchoring point and a danger in car crashes especiall with their weght and especially with MDF or HDF cabinets .the screws wont hold and will oull through .Add 1/2 inch to the outer diameter rim for mounting.What abou neodymium magnets
How would two 10 inch sa perform in a sealed enclosure?🤔
Great if put in the correct sized enclosure. SQ bass !
@@eatsleepbassrepeat i have 3cf in gross volume to work with. Sundown website recommends .5 to each sub is that accurate?
Just talking shit before yall lose yall minds but if one of yall Sundown fans want that smoke.
Thinking about switching from deaf bounce to sundown audio
Go for it ✊🏻
Thats funny I ran across this. I watch sundown after dark all the time. I run all sundown. 4 12s on salt 6k. The 12s are the x's. Little under power but that amp cost a lot
So happy you found the chanel! please subscribe and share the link with other Sundown Heads! make sure to watch that Yard Sale, maybe a SALT8 will pop in there... I know I would like to have 4 SALT12's... I run a 3500 Dually and have space for a 8-18" 6th order. But that's spendy so I have to build that one piece at a time :)
did he say all x v3 subs are built in house? 16:43 in the video
I’ll go back and review
I gotta try sundown subs some people say they got some good low notes
They also currently have the record for “loudest on earth” (that’s many of them in a armored van with a lot of power)
My buddy has the xv3-12” in a buick 2 of them on a 5k amp and his shit is heavy
you see this yet ?
Good Evening Sundown Fans!
We have a huge announcement to make! As of December 1st, 2022 Sundown Audio will begin the process of being acquired by Systematic Audio (a sister company to XS Power, Ioxus, Turbostart, and Showtime Electronics). What does this mean to you guys? It means that I, Jacob Fuller, will continue to do what I do best in product development BUT with Scottie Johnson in charge of the company, running the business-end of things. I’m sure many of you know that Scottie and I are friends - BUT you may not know that we’ve known each other since well before Sundown Audio or XS Power were founded. We’re excited to be working together finally to take things up another notch!
What about customer service, warranty, etc, etc? Not to worry! Systematic Audio will honor all warranties and continue to provide customer service using the same current Sundown Audio team that you all know and love. There will be no significant interruption in anything; ordering, warranty, sales, etc.
I cannot think of a better person to deal with than Scottie Johnson. We share the same personal and business values. We share the same appreciation for our employees and customers. We also share the same passion for absolutely cutting-edge product development that has made both of our separate businesses leaders in their respective segments. As for me - stepping back from the day-to-day concerns of running a company will allow me to really explore my full potential in product development, product testing, and vision for the future of mobile audio.
I hope that you are all as excited as I am about this! Rest assured that I am not going anywhere! I’ll still be here to answer questions on social media, talk tech with you guys, and all of that good stuff - in fact; I will be able to do MORE of all these things having my table cleared of administrative tasks. It will still take some time to fully complete the acquisition but stay tuned for a lot of great things to come!facebook.com/sundownusa/photos/a.114485271940286/5470746352980791/
Sure Did! Big things on the way!!!
How bout a new store policy. You have 45 days to make contact with the company. If not. You lose your product.
Goes into the garage sale 👌🏻
So they letting people go now I tried to bring my 6 xv3 18 s there for a swap last year and they said no because of the vid
Possibly they were in the middle of some new product development. There are things there I did not share in this film which are new and proprietary.
Are they hiring lol
No Kidding Right? LOL
That seems to be a substantial pile of failed subs, he's obviously going to blame the failures on customers like burnt coils vs defective products yes it's easy to burn a coil up with clipping I know I've done it, but maybe it's a hint to stop using 4 layer 3" coils on the big boy subs seems typically if cooling is sufficient beefier coils will take bit more abuse. My advice to reconing your sub is save yourself hundreds with labor and shipping and do your own recone, drop ins are simple the hardest part is done for you and full custom build isn't hard once you know what to do main part is correct part selection but its not hard if ypu have any clue but there is some poke n hope like spider choice well mainly how many because even tho there rated by compliance it still can be a hit or miss.
I think we’re looking at a numbers ratio, the sheer number of subs they ship is immense. In comparison, it’s a small fraction. I’m sure there are always to improve. I’ve seen them make revisions over the years.
90 percent user error 😂
this kid is so distractive lol
You all see that little twelve-year-old Chinese worker or Asian worker in the background with long hair look at them he looks tired from lifting all those subwoofers you better give that kid some benefits
That’s my son 😂
That coil didn't look that burnt to me he was pretty quick with that response probably because their products are thousand times over priced
There not the loudest
