***NEW*** Sundown Audio Salt-8 Amplifier Dyno Test *Amp Test Tuesday* 

Need to send one of each to big D whiz. You would sell more of them if you do.

Background music is annoying playing through the whole video..makes it hard to hear you when your farther from the mic..but nice amps!!

Is it called Salt because the Sundown haters are always acting so salty? 🤔

Only thing is, is it gonna be competitively priced with other 7500-8000 watt amps or is it gonna be priced as a "10k"???

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

Wow according to rockville you can label this amp as a 35k watt MAX amp

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.

My cows just went to church because, HOLY COWW!!

Man...i remember when amps were rated at 12.8 and 11.5was low. Now 13.8v is low. Were living in a time of plenty.

I'm loving the salt 8 and I can't wait to see the 12k

Video starts at 21:46

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

Are these CEA rated, lol! Just kidding. Don't wanna start that again.

Thank you for your awesome videos Sir. AWESOME POWER on the SALT 8K!!! Keep up the great work Sir. I cannot wait for you to fit the SALT 8Ks in Project SPL!!!

All hail the King!... Sundown MF audio. I'll take a 10k top of the line Korean everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. 2 would be perfect for my 4-Zv5 18 4th order.

Very nice amps. But your background music is annoying af man. Just don't add music anymore if you gonna put it to loud lol. Next time listen to your edited video first before posting it lol

Sundown said ok Orion...here we go. 11k out of a 8k. @ 13 volts. Geezus Krists that bad boy savage. I want one.

Holy Sh*t! What a serious beast that amp is. I thought my Vital Power VP 700.1 put out a lot of power and it does, but wow! Great looking amp and a serious power producing Monster!

HOLY SHIZNIT BROTHA THAT NUMBER EVEN StUNNED U I ALMOST FORGOT IT WAS AN 8k THAT IS SUPER UNDERRATED DAMN I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE 10ks DO 💯PERCENT VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE SUNDOWN AUDIO U GUYS NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE (✌🏼💪🏼🔈✌🏼💪🏼🔉✌🏼💪🏼🔊 )

Wow thats crazy. Almost 12k on a 8k amp. Damn cnt wait to get my system goin again. Been sum years but definitely gna get bak to it!

I'm curious why an amp would be considered an 8k when it clearly does far more than that. Why not call it an 11k amp?

Picking my jaw from the floor throwing fist full of cash,how much for one of those amps

My only criticism on the video is the music was kinda loud while you were speaking making you hard to hear. Other than that keep it up

Orion Splx numbers

So question. How much overlap do you guys run on your demo vehicles? I ask because I notice that Meade sets all his systems at -10db but I don't understand how at full tilt that isn't clipping like crazy especially on like DJ rebassed and modded music.

I think you guys have great products great videos very well informed you're very dedicated I think you're great Derek but this is ridiculous the only reason that pushed you guys to come out with these amplifiers for example that say 8K but push way over power because Orion spanked your SVC 3000 it barely made power orion hcca 3000 more than doubled even the orion xtr 2500 makes more power than the svc 3000 and its an older model and only cost 385$

Sounds like sundown was upset about the Orion 3000SPLX. So they rebranded a new 10k amp to a 8k.

What you said about dynamic could be said about uncertified. But why did the voltage go from 14.3 to 15.2?

Sum preorder sales or discount codes would be nice for the customers, because these aren't for the average everyday person and there are a couple other comparable amps.. these a awesome though, I'd like the 4 or 6k

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

My first thought was "not enough surface area to cool that much power." And then I seen the fin design. Very nice.

Keep talking while I watch the Dyno temp jump from 79*F to 89*F...90*F... 93*F... 94*F

I personally wish you wouldnt play the music in your long dialogue videos... dude just talk... its your thing no need for the music.

SALT series are basically beefed up Deaf Bonce AAK series???

I wanna see the 12k's in project SPL

Is it going to be priced under $999 to compete with the wolfram 7500 that does the same power?

military stealth series ....they do look bad azz

I love the new look. It's actually about time they changed it up. Very nice. I also love the Cat5 cable with all the new features. Can't wait to get one.

Thanks for clarifying the different tests. I know I'm going to run my amps to clipping. A little distortion adds character.. :D

I still like the look of the SCV Series

In terms of loudness and low bass is a taramps bass 8k comparable with this? I'm only asking because of the big price difference. Obviously, this is the better amp but for the given price, is it about the same real world power output?

@derrickhaddock These amps are Monsters! Haters are always gonna hate. Companies can under-rate as much as they can. The thing is the build quality of Sundown Audio. Can’t wait to see part-2 and especially the SALT-4 dyno results.

Omg an orion hcca is half price and makes the same power from a 3k amp. Smh sundown chineese junk and overpriced at that. Id laugh to see an hcca spl sub destroy a nightshade lmfao again half the price. Completely hate sundown because its just marked up china junk. Go to alibaba and have amps n subs built custom for a fraction of the price. Its sick to know your profit is well over 200 percent but yup whatever makes u sleep at night smh.

Do you guys have any of these amps in any vehicles torture testing them Wright now?

Amp test Tusedays are back? Woofer test Wednesday? I would like to see 9-12 volt test. Will there not be a Salt 2k?

So I have two 12 sundown nightshade v5’ with 3000 watts rms would the sundown audio salt 8 series would be enough or how much power of an amplifier could I put on them

If you built 1k and 2k versions of the salt amps... you would sell alot more...just my 2 cents...

"What's up guys". I like the retro look of those amps.

I know this is an old video but doesn’t the salt series have clear acrylic bottom plates now anyone please. Thanks

BADASS im goin to run 3 zv5 15 and a 6k salt with a extra battery Can't wait for that pretty bitch to drop.

Second only to synergy wfo. Cheaper w/more power baby. The salt is just so much sexier

Sundown amplifiers are ridiculously over-priced. There are many options that are a fraction of the price.

That line of amps look dope!!!

The black amps look better IMO but these amps are ridiculous!

Ok so whats the power at 4 and 2 ohms? These numbers are ok for spl but for daily we dont care about the numbers at the lowest ohms so much but across the board... If its half at 2 and auarter at 4 then these are just another line of amps like 98% of the amps already out there

Get out orion has that amplifier beat big time that includes power output and in price do research and find out for yourself Orion's power just bitch slaps that amp and the same goes for the price.

Yes aggressive look an also the way the heat sink fins are , seem to be my favorite compared to just about any amp.

If you give it good voltage though around 15.3 at full tilt on a 6k(so far) you think itll be okay?

Thats crazy. Do you guys have a price range for these amps yet? Around same as tge scv line?

Nice to see apparently the amp has a built in limiting circuitry. 👍 Dynamic is relevant as it's an indicator of an amplifiers headroom but it's not a number to go by when buying an amp. Will there be matching multi channels ? Does SALT have any special meaning ?

Can you please set up the clamp meter on part-2 video. Or perhaps the salt-6 and salt-4 videos? Thank you.

Hoooooooollllly faaaaaaaaccckkkkkk. Gonna need an industrial genny in the box of the half ton but good lord lmao. Salt for the win

Sundown said heck with it let's compete with Orion

How much are the Salt8's Goong for?

Where are y’all located I’m in 910 I would love to come visit official

Holly molly. That is incredible. Once again sundown rising to the top. Hella good work guys.

I love that it actually has fins on the heatsink, unlike some other companies 😂🤷‍♂️

How about guess how much this bad boy gonna cost 8K for $2500

Ok now i need help cause i just bought this amp and i need hooking this mf up😂

Glad that I waited before I bought the older style. Great video

First..... Those are pretty nice. Can't wait to see the 12K.

Maaan that amp SALT 8 Sundown Audio series really blew my mind.

This is a lie there's a bigger Amp under the test bench tell me I'm lieing????🤔😂

Great in depth video, I'm seriously interested, I have 4 Zv5s but didn't go with sundown amps because I am a 12volt set up. This salt 8k makes me re thinking about going with matching sundown amps now

its 2020 and these amps are still not available at their website along with the sfb series

Did you say the price in here. I kept skipping forward lol.

I'm glad that you guys are adding all those extra features with these amps, that was one of the reasons why I ran the deaf bonce apocalypse series amps, the bass knob capabilities. Will be looking forward to the release of these for sure.

Skip to around 21mins to avoid alllll the talking

Why triple power inputs on the 6k but only single on 4K?

hopefully the salt 8 is priced under the SCV Line.

Seems to be some funny business @ 17:21,...Lolz

Price range? Will it be reasonable anyway

Has anyone here ever ran one of these at 0.5 ohm with no issues?

probably more than 12k @ 14.4

So something new comes out so the old amps will be cheep ahhh ya

Can I get a deal on yall old models then with yall high price ass

Sundown for the win

Let's get it 👍💪 can't wait to see the new building

Music is a little loud,,,sorry.

I think this guy is a closeted homosexual and that’s cool good for u man as long as ur happy but u make sundown look gay too so maybe a new sundown model would b better

There the best looking amplifiers ive seen. But of course with sundown everything is sort of over priced. Ive owned almost every sub they have from the X down. But cool wouldnt doubt if you spend a arm & a leg for these amps. Are they class a/b amps?

Where did this channel go? Is there no more content?

What's that song in the beginning of this video ?

Ok sundown people, I need some feedback. I'm an old school rockford man from the very early 90s. I just finished my 16 year old sons first system in a nissan titan. 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.

How much rms by CEA rating ??? Like 25k ?? Lmfao jk... Atleast one should have atleast 6 channels..

So if I buy 3 of the SUNDOWN AUDIO X Series v.2 12” and Salt 6 , should I get the 20HM or 40HM speakers

Love your equipment. Love it. That bring said, by you skipping the cert run it looks like your worried about #'s below 1% thd..... Just sayin.....

I'm getting one for my 4 vxf 12s

Sunset or Sunrise series instead of Salt...

What size alt do you got to have if you run 2 salt 8 amps plus sundown subwoofer 4’ zv5 15” plus how many alternatives how many lithium batteries
