It comes in three baffle configurations to match the generation of driver you own, because the SA 12 changed across revisions and a cutout sized for one will not seat the other correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Version Do You Have\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the model number on the frame or the badge on the motor before ordering. If you are unsure, send us a photo and we will tell you which baffle you need. Getting this wrong means a driver that either will not drop in or will not seal properly against the baffle, and neither is worth the return shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNot Listed? We Cut to Spec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSundown builds a deep catalogue and we do not have a listing for every driver in it. That is a catalogue gap rather than a capability gap.

Sealed or ported, single or dual, and the maximum external dimensions the vehicle will take. From there we calculate net volume from the driver's published Thiele Small parameters and cut a cabinet to suit rather than selling you the nearest thing on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNote that we build enclosures for Sundown drivers but do not stock the drivers themselves.

Enclosure fitment is a matter of geometry and Thiele Small parameters, and is separate from which brands we carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich SA 12 version do I have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model number is on the frame and the badge on the motor identifies the revision. If you cannot tell, send us a photo and we will identify it. The baffle cutout differs between versions, so ordering the wrong one means the driver will not seat correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you build for the X Series or other Sundown drivers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. We have built for the SA and X Series before and can cut for other models. Give us the exact driver, the alignment you want and your maximum external dimensions, and we will quote it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSealed or ported for a Sundown driver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDivide the driver's free air resonance by its electrical Q to get the efficiency bandwidth product. Below 50 generally suits sealed, above 100 favors ported, and 50 to 100 works either way. Most Sundown drivers land in territory where ported makes sense, but run the numbers on your specific model rather than assuming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the lead time on a custom build?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Proline X enclosure is cut to order rather than pulled from a shelf, including the listed ones. A one off adds design time on top of that. Call and we will give you a realistic date rather than an optimistic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Series enclosures carry a 2 year limited warranty on craftsmanship and materials. The Sundown driver carries its own manufacturer warranty separately, and you would claim that through Sundown rather than through us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"professional-series-12-inch-ported-box-sundown-sa-series","title":"12 inch Ported Box for Sundown SA 12","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaximize Your Sundown SA 12: Custom Box, Epic Bass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ain't your basic box!

It was meticulously crafted through extensive testing and prototyping to exceed all expectations and goals set by the manufacturer. The series has garnered immense popularity among consumers for its exceptional performance and quality, making it a highly sought-after choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe price range of Sundown SA 12 is one of the best in the market. It provides good value for money and is highly recommended for those looking for a subwoofer priced at $200 or less. The quality and performance of this subwoofer make it stand out in its price range, making it a popular choice among customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sundown SA 12 subwoofer has a highly optimized voice coil that ensures efficient cooling and prevents overheating, even when used close to its rated power level. This advanced system allows the 2.5\" coil to outperform many competing 3\" coil drivers on the market without needing a heavier voice coil than necessary for the design. This feature enhances the overall performance and durability of the SA 12 subwoofer, making it a top choice for audio enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sundown SA 12 subwoofer features an SPL competition grade paper cone designed for optimal sound performance.

Available in 10s and 12s, the Classic SA is essentially the SA v.1 Rev.3 but with a black motor finish. Additionally, an upgrade has been included - the motor is bolted together for enhanced long-term durability, making it a cost-effective yet reliable choice for audio applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping Information for your new Sundown SA 12 Ported Enclosure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen ordering a custom ported box for your Sundown SA 12, enjoy FREE shipping within the USA (Lower 48).

The ported design allows for efficient air movement within the enclosure, amplifying the sound output and creating a more pronounced low-frequency response. This enhanced bass experience is favored by audio enthusiasts and music lovers seeking a powerful and immersive listening experience. Additionally, ported boxes are known for producing louder volumes without compromising on clarity, making them a popular choice for those looking to elevate their audio setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill a ported box hit harder?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorted boxes are popular for those looking to enhance their audio experience with powerful bass. These enclosures are designed to emphasize lower frequencies, delivering a deep and resonant sound that can make your chest thump. The port in these boxes acts as a sound tunnel, allowing the air to move in and out more freely, resulting in louder and more impactful bass notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design is particularly effective for genres of music that rely heavily on bass, such as hip-hop, electronic dance music, and rock. However, it's important to note that while ported boxes excel at producing low-frequency sounds, they may not offer the same level of precision and accuracy as sealed enclosures for mid-range and high-frequency tones. When choosing a ported box for your sound system, ensure it is well-designed to maximize the benefits of this type of enclosure and complement your listening preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much power can a Sundown SA 12 Classic handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its impressive specifications, the Sundown Audio SA series 12 is a popular choice for car audio enthusiasts. With a peak power rating of 1500 watts and an RMS power rating of 750 watts for the classic version, this subwoofer delivers powerful and clear bass performance. To make the most out of this subwoofer, it is recommended to pair it with an amplifier that matches its RMS rating. This ensures optimal performance, prevents distortion, and prolongs the lifespan of your audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the Sundown Audio SA series 12 is known for its robust construction and high-quality materials, making it a durable option for long-term use. Its versatile design allows for customization and tuning to achieve the desired sound quality in your vehicle. Whether you enjoy deep bass tones or crisp sound details, this subwoofer can enhance your overall audio experience on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper wiring and enclosure setup are crucial when installing the Sundown Audio SA series 12. Ensuring correct impedance matching and adequate ventilation for the subwoofer is essential for maximizing its performance capabilities. With careful installation and setup, you can enjoy the immersive sound quality and bass response that elevates your car audio system to new heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"8:5-8:166\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"6:5-6:175\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Proline X","offers":[{"title":"Classic","offer_id":40987989540953,"sku":"Pro12-P SD Classic","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"V.2","offer_id":40987989573721,"sku":"Pro12-P SD V2","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V.3","offer_id":43244051824729,"sku":"Pro12-P SD","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/1389\/products\/12-inch-ported-box-for-sundown-sa-12subwoofer-enclosuresproline-x-850136.jpg?v=1761970121"}],"url":"https:\/\/audiointensity.com\/collections\/sundown-subwoofer-box.oembed","provider":"Audio Intensity","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
