The Sundown Audio SA series, which includes the Sundown Audio SA12 v.2, is the best-selling series from Sundown Audio! The new v.2 version features a larger, more powerful motor to drive the bigger 2.75-inch coil and stronger centering – this maintains the perfect balance of the original SA series while increasing the power handling to 1000 Watts RMS.

The Sundown Audio SA12 v.2 has a linear excursion (XMAX) of 19 mm, which allows for slightly more than 35 mm x-mech. The motor also features a large magnet ID short-circuit ring (Faraday ring) to reduce distortions caused by inductance and inductance fluctuations over the stroke.

The 18-inch model features a larger motor than the SA-10/12/15 v2 with a diameter of 205 mm and a magnetic gap height of 60 mm. It has a large centering spider package with a diameter of 234 mm for a very high mechanical lift capacity. It uses the same 2.75" coil as the other subwoofers in the SA v.2 series for a rated power of 1000 watts RMS.

Features

  • 12" (30cm) Subwoofer
  • Xmax = 19mm one-way by 70% BL
  • RMS Power = 1000 Watt
  • Impedance: D2 or D4
  • Black 2.75-inch voice coil holder made of aluminum for excellent heat dissipation
  • High-temperature copper coil wire
  • Large Aluminum Faraday Ring (Magnet ID)
  • Spring-loaded terminals
  • High-strength aluminum die-cast frame
  • Optimized for small bass reflex enclosures, closed enclosures, and bandpass enclosures

The Sundown Audio SA12 v.2 subwoofer has a maximum power handling of 1000 watts RMS. The 2.75-inch voice coil is designed for high thermal capacity to ensure continuous power delivery. The use of an aluminum voice coil former contributes to optimal heat dissipation, allowing the subwoofer to deliver its performance consistently and safely. This makes it ideal for users who desire powerful audio output in their audio systems. Thanks to the high-quality materials and carefully designed construction, the performance remains intact even under intense operation.
The SA12 v.2 is designed for use in various enclosure types, including sealed enclosures, bass reflex enclosures, and bandpass enclosures. A volume of 28.2 liters is recommended for a sealed enclosure, while a bass reflex enclosure works optimally at 49.5 liters and a tuning of 35 Hz. The recommended port area is 167 cm². This versatility allows for the adjustment of bass output to individual sound preferences and room acoustics, enabling the subwoofer to be effectively used in different environments.
The Sundown Audio SA12 v.2 subwoofer is available in two different impedance options: D2 and D4. The D2 version has a Re value of 3.91 Ohms, while the D4 version has a Re value of 6.35 Ohms. These options provide the user with flexibility for adapting to different amplifier configurations to achieve optimal power flow. Perfect for customizations in complex audio installations and ensuring a compatible connection with various amplifier units.
The Sundown Audio SA12 v.2 is equipped with a large aluminum Faraday ring that is integrated into the drive system to minimize magnetic distortions. By reducing inductance fluctuations in the stroke area, this ring significantly improves sound quality. Specifically designed for audiophiles who desire clear and distortion-free bass, this technical addition allows for more precise reproduction. This aspect particularly highlights the SA12 v.2 when reproducing more complex sound spectra, where even minimal distortions could be perceived.
The Sundown Audio SA12 v.2 has a linear excursion (XMAX) of 19 mm, which allows for precise bass reproduction. An XMAX of 19 mm refers to the maximum linear movement of the diaphragm in one direction, resulting in deep yet controlled bass reproduction. This high excursion is particularly advantageous when it comes to producing powerful bass while minimizing distortion. This functionality is supported by the design, which is intended for very precise and powerful low-frequency reproduction.
The Thiele-Small parameters of the SA12 v.2 in the D2 variant are as follows: RE is 3.91 Ohm, FS is 38.8866 Hz, VAS is 26.2867 liters. The Qes value is 0.5070, Qms is 4.5133, and Qts is 0.4558. Furthermore, we have Le at 3.1785 mH, BL leads to 21.9903 NA, and Mms is 256.5545 grams. These parameters are crucial for designing the acoustic profile of the speaker and allow for determining the best enclosure design for individual sound preferences and installation requirements.
The Sundown Audio SA12 v.2 can be integrated into many vehicles as long as the correct installation dimensions are observed. The outer diameter is 32.6 cm, and the installation diameter is 28 cm. This allows for installation in vehicles that provide enough space in their trunks or interior compartments. Especially in larger vehicles or SUVs, these dimensions can be easily accommodated. There is no specific compatibility with certain car brands, so the availability of the required space should be checked before installation.
The SA12 v.2 from Sundown Audio uses a high-strength aluminum cast frame that enhances its structural integrity. Aluminum casting is known for its stability and light weight, which helps minimize vibrations and improve the overall performance of the subwoofer. Additionally, the robust nature of aluminum contributes to extending the lifespan of the subwoofer. Users looking for a reliable and powerful enclosure will benefit from this design, as it makes the SA12 v.2 ideal for transit and stationary installations.
A strong centering in the form of a large centering spider package with a diameter of 234 mm provides the SA12 v.2 with an exceptional mechanical lift capacity. This component contributes to the correct and stable alignment of the diaphragm during rapid movements and prevents distortions. Particularly important for users who enjoy listening to loud music and insist on clear bass enjoyment, this design offers an astonishing level of control and precision during operation. This ensures that sound quality is not compromised even at higher volumes.
The sensitivity of the Sundown Audio SA12 v.2 varies between the versions. The D2 version has a sensitivity of 86.59 dB at 1W/1m, while the D4 version has a sensitivity of 85.03 dB. This sensitivity indicates the ratio of input electrical power to output acoustic energy. Higher sensitivity results in louder playback at the same amplifier power. Therefore, the choice between the D2 and D4 versions is also partly a question of how much volume is desired with minimal energy input.
