The coil of the Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1 consists of copper windings on a black aluminum carrier and has a diameter of 1.5 inches. These materials were chosen for their efficiency and durability to maximize thermal resilience while ensuring high audio output quality. The copper coil provides excellent electrical properties, while the aluminum carrier contributes to cooling. This combination allows the subwoofer to deliver consistently high performance even under heavy load, keeping the sound image clean and precise.
The installation of the Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1 is relatively simple due to its installation depth of less than 10 cm, provided that the enclosure specifications are observed. This compact design allows the subwoofer to be used in vehicles with limited space. It is important to perfectly match the enclosure to the 40 Hz tuning and suitable enclosure volumes (sealed: 4.2 liters, bass reflex: 8.5 liters). This maximizes sound performance. A careful measurement of the installation space in the vehicle before installation is essential to ensure that the back plate of the subwoofer is flush against the back wall of the enclosure.
The SA6.5 v.1 is the latest model in the Sundown Audio SA series and is known for its compact design and high performance. Its mounting depth of less than 10 cm is particularly space-saving compared to the SLD and SD-4 models, while the solid pole design of the subwoofer offers innovative solutions for reducing the installation depth. The SA6.5 v.1 still maintains the high sound quality that is typical of Sundown Audio products. Additionally, the magnet ID Faraday ring and optimized x-max contribute to clearer sound reproduction, making it stand out in technical aspects.
The enclosure plays a critical role in the performance of the Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1. The recommended enclosure sizes – 4.2 liters for a sealed enclosure and 8.5 liters for a bass reflex enclosure – are optimal for the subwoofer's performance. These recommendations are based on the physical parameters of the SA6.5 v.1 to ensure the best resonance frequency (40 Hz in a bass reflex enclosure). A correctly tuned enclosure ensures that the subwoofer reaches its full capacity in terms of bass reproduction and power without sacrificing sound quality.

Unique deep bass performance with 200 watts RMS

The 6.5 subwoofer from Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1 impresses with an RMS power rating of 200 watts. This power ensures that powerful bass is always produced, even at high loads, without losing clarity or precision. The 200 watts RMS give the subwoofer the ability to confidently reproduce even the lowest frequencies, making it an ideal candidate for music genres that require powerful bass. While a higher RMS rating would allow for even louder volume, it also increases the power supply requirements and can increase the thermal load on the subwoofer.

Impedance options for maximum flexibility

The Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1 subwoofer is available with a dual coil in the D2 or D4 versions. With an impedance of 4 ohms (D2) or 7.1 ohms (D4), you have the flexibility to tailor the system to your needs. A lower impedance, such as the D2 version, allows for greater current consumption and thus higher volume levels, but requires a corresponding amplifier power. The D4 version, on the other hand, offers a lower current load for the amplifier but may have limitations in terms of maximum volume.

Unparalleled deflection with 10 mm Xmax

Sundown Audio achieved an impressive linear excursion of 10 mm per direction in the SA6.5 v.1. This excursion reflects the subwoofer's ability to move air, thus producing powerful, distortion-free bass. A lower Xmax would result in the subwoofer clipping more quickly at high volumes and not delivering the full bass dynamics. With the X-mech, more than twice the size of the Xmax, it is also resistant to mechanical overload, increasing its durability.

Top-class technology through magnetic ID Faraday ring

The Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1's built-in Magnetic ID Faraday Ring effectively reduces inductive distortion generated in the voice coil. This technology not only improves sound fidelity but also contributes to a more stable and cleaner bass response. The absence of such elements would result in higher distortion, especially at high frequencies, which could lead to a less precise soundstage.

Thiele-Small Parameters: A Detailed Analysis

The Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1 impresses with precise Thiele-Small parameters. Particularly noteworthy is the resonance frequency of 48.9 Hz (D2) and 51.8 Hz (D4), which creates the perfect foundation for deep bass frequencies. The equivalent volume (VaS) of 4.1 L (D2) and 3.6 L (D4) indicates the optimal cabinet size, with a higher VaS value requiring larger cabinets. The efficiency of 81.6 dB (D2) and 81.5 dB (D4) is average for this class, but still ensures decent levels with manageable amplifier power.

Recommended case design for maximum performance

For the Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1, a 4.2-liter sealed enclosure or an 8.5-liter bass-reflex enclosure is recommended, with a 40 Hz tuning frequency being ideal. The recommended port area of ​​25.8 cm² for the bass-reflex enclosure ensures consistent airflow and maximum bass output without disruptive airflow noise. Deviations from this recommendation could compromise the subwoofer's efficiency, particularly its low-frequency reproduction and the overall acoustics in the vehicle.

Economical construction with black aluminum

The 1.5 coil of the Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1 consists of copper windings on black aluminum. This combination is ideal for high thermal conductivity and mechanical robustness. The choice of aluminum as the winding base reduces the coil's weight, allowing for faster response to audio signals. Switching to a different material could negatively impact thermal capacity, frequency response, and overall service life.

Optimized Q-factors for a balanced sound

With a Qes of 0.50 (D2) and 0.54 (D4), a Qms of 4.82 (D2) and 4.65 (D4), and an overall Qts of 0.46 (D2) and 0.49 (D4), the Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1 demonstrates balanced acoustic performance. These values ​​support effective subwoofer integration into various vehicle acoustics and are optimized for hybrid enclosure designs. Any deviation here could result in resonance peaks or flat bass reproduction. Overall, the Sundown Audio SA6.5 v.1 offers a sophisticated package of technical specifications that are second to none.
