Sundown Audio SFB-8000D Amp Dyno *Amp Test Tuesday* 

Lololol, awe man where's the clamp meter!!! I was sitting here ready! Got my cleanup towl and my coco butter in hand. I even turned the lights off and lit candles! Got Barry white playing too! Not having the clamp has made me more disappointed than when my mum got me the wrong power rangers costume for my birthday.. and I pee'd myself in front of everyone in protest! Wicked amp there D man xx

Crazy power in small packages nowadays I remember when amps be as wide as your trunk and do half of what this does 4 ohm lol

For those that ask as of 01/14/2020 D4S has the SFB8K listed for $639.99. Crazy world, you'll need to spend half that just on power wire and 4 times that on electrical upgrades just to run it. 🤔

I clamped 7819 watts with this amp, wired at 1.33 rising to 1.9ohm, 75ah of cmax, 3 psi 18’s, JS 300, fired off at 15.4 dropping to 15v....Too say I’m impressed is an understatement 7 months strong, now I just need 3, dual 2 U 18s for finals, I’m now in love with sundown, thanks Nathan at Apex Audio for the great customer service, the hype is real🤙

3900 4 ohm 5400 2 ohm 8140 1ohm dynamic 8400 1 ohm.

I fucking love the channel! It gives the company more character to see every one and what all goes on. Keep it up, man!!!

You guys are awesome man 3 months ago I didn't know heads or tails about car audio now I have definitely have a good foundation 😀 thanks a million

The quality looks fantastic. I've had 11 Taramps amps and loved them all but the quality looks much better on these SFB.

I don't even got a RU-vid channel but I just caught one on fire 🤣🤣 sent it in on a warranty and got one coming back in 3 days

I like that you showed your charging/power set up. Btw you were spot on with seeing the guts of the amp, looks pretty but I don’t have a clue what I should be seeing. Also I never watch the clamp I don’t know why dudes get fired up to see that.

Reminds me of the old school TARGA amps.

You keep asking us what we want to see but you dont give it to us. PART 2 OF THE NIGHTSHADE TEST..its pretty simple or at least a reason why you dont show us.

Looking at dollars per watt this might be the best deal in car audio history 8000 Watts under 700 bucks RMS certified shout out to sundown Wilson audio Labs that you need to check this out are so budget gem or budget bust it might be over for every company how fair seeing this video I know I'm buying one or two amps for sure

I thought that shit was going over 9k!!! Lol Either way, I need this amp in my life. Let's get an uncertified to clip test at 1ohm and I bet it hits 9k

you should build an alternator test bench so you can run an alt off an electric motor and belt, actually pretty reasonable to do.

“Some of you guys going crazy to get your decals” 😂

Run it again at 1 ohm please and thank you love the amp dyno videos keep them coming

I'm in love. 😍😍😍. I need that amp asap!!!!

I have a way that you can keep your power up on your bench test unit ... purchase a 5 horse electric motor at 3600 rpm and get a pulley to be 1-1 onto a 320 mechman alternator or one of your choice ... build a bracket to hold the motor and alternator in line with each other and make sure they are not grounded together because it will give a 60 hertz hum from the wall socket ... you will be guaranteed the full 320 amps with ease and be able to keep the bank voltage up ... I have built one for a back up charger for solar and it does phenomenally well for charging the bank quickly

Lmao, he said all the people bitching probably don’t even know what they are looking at. That had me cracking up because it’s soo true 🤣

If you run this at one on it’s going to take about 1200 A. That’s 4 300 amp alternator. That’s about $2000 in alternators minimal. I run something like this that does more watt power. And yes, I have to have 4 alternators. Cost me $10,000 for power just to power my amplifiers. I am in the serious spl. I really hope people don’t buy this thinking they’re going to play music with it. You’ll be able to get about 20 minutes of music before it dies at best on a stock system. This is not for beginners or the average person. Because of the amp draw you’re going to have 1200 amp draw before you run your meds and Highs. Please everyone do your research before you buy something like this. Research is one of the most important things before you buy something. I see way too many people buy something like this not realizing what they’re getting into dollarwise. Don’t misunderstand me these are great guys do you handle their warrantee is good. Derricks a great person. This amplifier is just not for everyone. I want people to know also alternators run for about 10 minutes and then they shut off to cool down. There is alternators that just run about 320 A and don’t shut off. These are the high dollar ones. This is why I have $10,000 in my charging system. I can play my music full blast for about half a day. Before it gets hot. I am in the 10,000 watt class. When I started I was in 100W class. That’s how much this is changed for me.This is been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Highly recommend anyone and everyone to get into it. Start small figure to build a good system you’re looking at two to $5000. When you get into SPL you’re going to have $30-$40,000 in your system to do it right. Not to say you can’t build junk and make it loud it just doesn’t last. I still have my first amplifier I bought. Good quality last forever. I would highly recommend sundown for your audio needs. They’re really good people and they care.

depends on if you have it hooked right

Noice .I was the one that asked if you could use the dd1 to tune these..I know some people were having issues using the dd1 with some of the Brazilian amps

Damn!! That's definitely great power for the price. That amp is what I'll be running with the 4 SA v2 15's I'm putting in my car. Great video as always bro!!

This will be my next amp allows for upgrading. 1 12in then later 2 12s then down the road 3 12s . Your AMPs are incredible!! And awesome at producing power without overworking the electricle system!!

4. 3895w (3410w) 2 5050w (6149w) 1.3 8005w (8332w) 1 10'569w (8553w) Ohms and watts lets go Crazy strong amp i need one

Wow that Amplifier is a beast great dyno testing keep up the good work Sir 👍 🙏

Great video dereck . The amp is amazing. Just a suggestion. You might want to get a microphone for your camera. When your not close to it the volume level on the video really goes down .

Can you use it for straight bass on 2 zv5 15's?

Remote knob from my e class 7500.1d granite audio works fine on my 8k. Factory sundown remote knob crackles and scratcheies. Awesome amp! Im pushing 4 nvx vc3 15" nvx. IT POUNDS!!!

the funny part is the way he says that most people don't know what they're looking at and it turns out it seems like he has no idea what he's looking at either LOL

Wow that is crazy if you did still cover a warranty if the seal is broken 😬 no one does that. That the first thing thats looked for to get out of having to warranty your items. 🤔 love your stuff as a owner already and I subscribe after watching your warranty video was great to see a USA company has came back again. I didn't know if this would help any but if you used a 120v to 14.5v transformer 149$ each there for a motor home rated at 150amp so use too of then use a battery disconnect for a off switch then hook up a stinger cap and run it to that lithium batterys set up you have. It would be great it's real similar to a vehicle set up. I run this set up on a 3amps set up in my garage thats wired to my home theater pre amp and Lc7 from that I go to the amps then to my 7.2 theater system in my living room. Works great. Love your stuff would buy if I didn't have something already but if I do it next specially after hearing your great warranty service. Till the next one great stuff 👍✌️👌😎👍 go sundown yeah

I just bought and received from D4S my X18 v3 last friday and I didn't get a sticker or decal and it might seem petty to some but I was really looking forward to it since the x18 was my very first sundown product purchase and even owned so I was really disappointed with that

Looks like a very nice amplifier

So much power still at 2ohms is oh so real

I would love to see the gain knob hooked up so we can compare the dd1 to the knobs clip light.

You're doing an awesome job Derrick, I buy all my sundown subwoofers from you guys💕🔊🔊🔊🔊

I remember when everybody used to talk shit about Brazilian full bridge amps, now everybody wants to be them.

The Only Thing I Hate About The SFB Line Is The Low Pass Filter Only Goes Down To 80. Call Me Stupid But I Need A Low Pass That Goes Down To 20Hz lol. If I'm Gonna Go Full Bridge And Lack A Low Range Low Pass Filter I'll Save Some Money And Go Taramps... Maybe... I Could Just Use A SFB With And External RCA Inline Low Pass Filter That Goes Down To What I Want But That's Not Really Clean Looking.

that extra remote is a nice touch, overall very nice amp

Would I better off running this or two rp 4500s electrical wise? I already have one rp 4500 and I plan on using the amps for two sundown zv5 12s

Im thinking on buying one do they last long?

I know it's Chinese but $639 is still a fair price. I love Sundown but I've never purchased an amp because they're so expensive. I like the pricing on these though. Edit: my first thought was not enough cooling area but then you showed the fans. I'm super impressed with this amp.

So if I’m doing one sub at 1ohm this amp will be just fine vs a salt6 for half the price? Or am I missing something?

Are full bridge amps like this usually lacking the low’s(20’s -30’s) compared to a half bridge of the same equivalent? I just watched the video explaining this and I wanted to see how true it was. Any input from somebody with experience or knowledge will be appreciated.

Nice! If my trinity 8k ever screws up imma throw one of these in that spot! No one ever dynos that trinity which I assume is because it probably doesn't do rated & they wanna sell a few before someone dynos it & finds out it's closer to boss power than taramps power...😂

Nice!! Peace and Bass

amazing, welp found my next amp! thanx

Why couldn’t you run an electric motor from wall outlet and pulley it to turn alternators to run the dyno? Is there something I’m missing that would keep that from becoming a simply built setup?

What level of rca input voltage will these amplifiers perform best at? Will they do well with 4-5v input voltage?

How much longer for the salt amps? Excited for those. Are this SFB amps any good for mids and tweeters ??

Do you have to hook up both power inputs and what is the benefit? What about fusing?

Any ideas what this thing would push at 6ohm? Im running 2 w12 gtis and want to hit about 2000w RMS @ 6ohm.

Part 2 of the nightshade video please.

Even with dual power and ground inputs on the amp. . Do you need to have the dual 0 gauge adapters to run 2 hots and 2 grounds per input per side?

I’m hopefully about to get one of these today and putting it on my 2 db drive g5 15s

What about dual "2" ohm subs that are actually something like 1.4 ohms? Is that okay? That'd be .7ohms and I'd like to run this.

I wonder if would work well on my setup my voltage peaks at 14.5 dips to 12.8 sometimes . Trying to get it fixed but 🤷‍♂️

What's sundown speakers would you pair with this amp. Looking for two 15s

Love the new catch phrase!!!! "JUST CHILL A LITTLE BIT" !!!!!!!!

Do you have to use both sides of the power connections or can you just use one power one ground and one remote ? I have the 3000 right now just bought the 5000 but the 3000 only has one power and ground connection

Could this push 2 Sundown 12” ZV5 ? If No... What do you recommend to play two 12” Sundown ZV’5?

Does this amp need a load to tune it? I set my power with a multimeter usually but someone told me that the sfb 8k needs a load to work or it'll break if there isn't one. I would love to tune this amp but I am not comfortable hooking up the speakers and then hooking the multimeter while the speakers are hooked up in order to tune it, even though I know I won't overpower my speakers or distort since I have a liumy oscilloscope+DMM.

I wanna run 8 sa 12s on sfb-8000d. What alternator and battery should I run? What do you suggest?

I love that they added the clip light on the bass knobs! That makes the SFB amplifiers the best budget amplifiers on the market! Great job sundown!

Im curious on the ratings at 14.4.why dont they do a 13.6 and 12.8 rating also.i have a 165 amp alt and a 50 ah lifepo4 im going to run.i know with my smart 3 on it i cant get the voltage to move.i guess if i have to ill add a battery but we will see

So is Sundown discontinuing the SCV, SAE and the SALT line for these SFB

Hi I have a 3000 that I got use the clip lite is on and stays on why is that and what do I need to do to fix it thanks Eric

Can these be run on the Z/NS series subs even though they techically would wire to 0.7 roughly?

Wow. Super impressed Derrick

I just ordered three stereo integrity SQL 12s rated at 1,000 Watts RMS would this amp over power them on a 2.67 load nominal they're in small sealed cabinets but still probably be around 4,500 Watts not sure they would be safe lol

It will out perform the ratings. Its gonna be hard to guess them Derek. I if had to guess 3000 4ohm 6000 2ohm 8000 1.3 ohm 8000 or more 1ohm.

So this is like a Brazilian amp?

What do s the difference between this, and a salt amp? The salt 8k is going for 1200ish and the sfb8k is going for less than half the price….. so just wondering is the salt worth saving the extra money for? Or will this sfb do just fine

i got one of these that need to be repaired do you know any one that can fix it

Do you need to upgrade your whole power setup to run this amp?

What’s the going rate for one of these in fair condition?

So what's the difference between this amps and the salt series

Numbers are better than what I've seen on the deaf bonce 7900.1...... which I bought months ago 🤦‍♂️ I'd so have snagged this one over the no manufacturing video/dyno on it. How I missed this almost same price sob I haven't a freaking clue 😑 Wondering if I really screwed up... frick. Still have it sitting NIB waiting on me too. I was thinking amp prices were going to go way up so I jumped on it playing it safe 😑 welllllll crap..

Longevity???? Is allways on my mind.. but I no you guys stuff is top notch..

Will 2 d3400 xs power batteries and a 370 high output alternator be good enough for this amp not gonna be pushing the full 8k watts only gonna be on 2ohm 5k watts

Need to catch up with with taramps smart 8 bass .5 ohm is what matters...

I thought you guys prefer Phillips screw instead of hex key?

How loud is the amp idling with the fans running

That little amp is a beast, I don't need that much power but I am interested in the 5k, I do like the small form factor that would fit perfectly on my back seat. when is the 5k coming out?

I'd like to see some Dyno at dynamic power

I know you said these aren’t “brazilian amps” but they sure look very very similar....🤔🤔

Hey i have a nsv3 now on this sfb 8000d wired to 2ohm its sick but i want more. I want a team sundown. Ive found a 15 ferrite team sundown .5ohm. Is it safe to wire that half ohm in series to my sfb

Question!?!?? Can you run 2 subs wired down to 1ohm on one side and 2 subs wired down to 1ohm on the other? Or would they be bridged to .5ohms??

So to run this amp you gotta run 2 power 2 ground and 2 remote wires??

🤔 Neither one of my SFB8k amps came with a sticker. Someone else must have needed them

Would anyone know if dipping into the 11s being ok? Im working on my charging and banks but high 11s is thr best i can do

Thank for doing sound test using music by dj magic Mike you rock homie

It's good that an amp does it's rated power on certified but I don't really care for certified because that's mostly sq builds most people clip a little bit so uncertified is what I like to see. Also the amp draw you see on a dyno is not the same as a vehicle set up. I can already see someone replying saying certified is absolute.

Is it a Chinese, Korean , or Brazilian board?

I see 3 of these 8ks and 3 12"s or 15" nightshade in my future for a trunk build in a 2018 Genesis G80 Sport

At 2ohns would I still get the 6100watts out of this amp using a xspower D3100 and big 3 upgrade?

I accidentally bought 2 ohm option of my fav brand of sub and was worried they may not preform well with the SFB 8k I had cause at 2 ohm the subs will be limited to 5000 watts from this 8k amp but if it can peak 6000 at 2 ohm it may still slap pretty hard.

Can I run 4 sundown x 15 v2 D4s on this Amplifier?

Or how many watts would it push out at 2ohm 12-13V?
