Just thinking about all the talk show host that are doing the shows from home and it feels awkward to them, then I watch you and how professional you are without an audience in the room and it makes me think that you're better on camera than they are. I don't know it's just an observation. Thanks Derek that's a sweet-looking amp.
If this thing runs up to 750 watts per ch in certified mode, the power is fairly clean. Class A / A/B are tough to beat sq wise if you have the ears tho.
Looks like the amp can do 800+ watts per channel. That would put it well over 3k!! Most of the tests were done well under rated voltage. Video should reflect that. Awesome job Sundown.
All I can say is HOLY SHIT.!.!.!.!.!! Think I found my new amp, there is so many different applications for this amp with this power, 4 channels, and the bridging...... I was gonna go all SKAR but this new SFB line has me reconsidering my choice.
wow that's alot of power for a 4 channel amp, I would just want a good amp to push (2) 6x9s and (2) 6.5s. I wonder which would be better, the SAE-100.4 or the SFB-200.4D to push (2) SA-6.5CS v.3 and (2) SA-69CX
I wonder what 40hz numbers look like since this was all 1khz tests. If you want to know what 1ohm, 2ohms and 4 ohms looks like fully loaded, divide the bridged numbers by 2 and that will tell you what all channels driven looks like.
How did it handle the heat steer the tests? And for external fusing what size fuse would you recommend? Already bought one, planning to install in a motorcycle fairing. Thanks.
@@menard79 it went very well. Puts out good power and runs cool in my trunk. I upgraded to the 1000.4 because I wanted more headroom for my 6 8" mids and 4 super tweeters. I also have a SFB 5k and will probably add a second 5k in the spring.
@Kevyn Wilson Thats awesome man. I have 4 DS18 PRO6×9's that are 250 watt RMS. I have a Stetsom 2000 watt 4 channel on it now but my amp and subs are all sundown. I didn't know if the SFB 500.4 put out a total of 500 watts or if it was per channel. My sub amp is the SFB-8000D. I'd like all my stuff to be Sundown. Thats all the info I need. I am going to order it right now. Thanks for the info.
Well, I just got my SFB-500.4. I am going to the glass shop in the morning to get plexiglass cut for this 500.4. I already did one for my 8k and i love it. I am getting ready to install it in 2 minutes. Hey, thanks for the info. Because of you, is why I bought it. And because I like to have all the same brand stuff in a system.
Back in 2014 on my first system i ran my mtx terminaters (2 ohm) bridged on amy alpine 4 channel. It ran fine and never broke. But my amp would get INSAINELY hot. Iike you couldve cooked a steak on it.
I got the surfboard still lol. Now needs some work so I bought the SFB 1000.4 to replace it while it’s being fixed. I’ll decide later if I like it better or not
Can you give me an idea what may cause the protect light to flash and the clip light to stay on solid and the the power light to flash on every few seconds. Dose this with or without speakers and rca's hooked up. Bought used like this trying to get it up and running. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Almost all class d 4 channels from good companies can do 1 ohm. The "Phillips" board as used in the NVX jad 800.4, soundstream 900.4 and polk pad4000.4 can do 1 ohm no problem. Another example is pioneer 8604,9604 and 8704
@@bigirb2002 I asked via email and they responded that the knobs should be here in April. I'm sure Derrick will mention it in a video or keep an eye out on the site. Stay tuned.
Can I run this as a 3 channel? 2 channels for my front door and 2 channels bridged for a small sub? I wanna put something in my cargo van. I already have 3 way components in the doors 4ohm and I wanna run 1ohm to 2 6.5 subs 1ohm.
Is there a SFB 1000.4 amp or 1000x4 channel amp.coming out? I saw it on the down4sound website and says its out of stock, but I don't see it on Sundown website.
Hits one of these amps with a low ohm test a lot of people are having these amps just quit and every video I see on it they just bashing it saying it just burned up for no reason... would that be cause of going below the rated impedance cause I wanna but one for my doors but now idk I just need to know these amps are golden and they gonna hang in there I see you abusing it right here so I don’t know why people are having problems with these amps... does anyone else have problems out of them
@@Corblea I just stayed with crescendo… I’ve heard to many stories already so I stayed away from the SFB amps… I run the Concerto c2000.4 and it’s been a monster… crescendo makes a really good amp and they half ohm rated and even warrantied for another 100 bucks for 2 years on the half ohm…
Hey guys can we stop requesting gut shots of full bridge. There just not sexy like a half bridge . I almost feel like I am cheating using the full bridge amps I have but man it saves so much space . My sfb 8k is .25 the size of a Korean 8k but definitely different way to make power
Finally some good quality inputs in a "full bridge". Those shitty Chinesium pot metal terminals that even hertz/focal are using SUCK! Rockville uses them exclusively, that tells you everything you need to know. Taramps are even worse as they don't fit standard wire sizes they're meant forj unkyard thhn home wire ripped out of the wall as found in 3rd world Brazil
It’s a 4 channel we want to see the power on all 4 channels
I could do all 4 doors with that! but Im waiting for the 5 channel sfb test one of these weeks
Them tests on that dyno dont surprise me. Those amps do very well no matter how they are wired.
Why don't you guys update your website with all of these new products?
They are working on a new website. All products and stuff will be uploaded and updated there.
Just go to down4soundshop.com, they already have them and shipping
@@clinthernandez9393 yea but not enough info. They need to put the ratings
@@daymianaydrian8469 I feel you. So many of the pages on Sundown say coming soon without any product info. Sucks.

Power is great, but I'm curious as to the sound quality. Does it suffer from the same gritty harshness of the Brazilian amps ?

@@eatngoodtv True.
That's my thoughts too. like what kind of quality is it. Plus, full bridge, obviously, so tolerances are tighter.

Looks pretty good. Are these suitable for mounting behind the dash? Do they stay pretty cool?
How much of a difference would this class D vs a class A/B for pro mids & highs?
So you telling me I can have a MEAN 3 channel setup? Say no more 👍🏾
Imagine running supper tweeters off this amp. It would be a ear killer
What a powerful little beast of an amplifier!
Derek thank you! for putting out video's.
in before the thumbnail processed lol
Dame nice......but don't understand the thumbs down ppl put..if I could I'd put 2 thumbs up
Holy crap.. that's awesome. ... im.going to be ordering me one ..
So powerful I'm not sure if you really even need a 5 Channel
How did it handle the heat steer the tests? And for external fusing what size fuse would you recommend? Already bought one, planning to install in a motorcycle fairing. Thanks.
Wow . What a little beast👍👍👍
So I could get 2 of these. Run 1 for my doors and bridge the other one and run to each coil on a single sub sq setup? Say no more fam.
Derrick love the thumb nail . Good choice looks like you just smoked ya 1 🚬
I'm waiting on my SFB 500.4 to be delivered right now and can't wait to hear how my mids and highs sound with it.
How did it go? I want to order one that pushes at least 500 watts per channel

Badass! Shame we're all gonna die of Corona.. I would loved to have owned one lol xx
Is there a SFB 5ch amplifier
Would this be an upgrade to the Prius with 4 6.5s???👌
Make sure you get 4 6.5 that can take that much power
WOW found summing to replace my Alpine pdx 100.4...!!!
Back in 2014 on my first system i ran my mtx terminaters (2 ohm) bridged on amy alpine 4 channel. It ran fine and never broke. But my amp would get INSAINELY hot. Iike you couldve cooked a steak on it.
I'm gonna run this amp on 3 4ohm speakers bridged at 1.33 ohms. Will let u know how it does.
Derek what amp do you suggest if I want to power a 8v3 and 10 mids+tweeters the 200.4 or the 500.4?
I buy one Friday using it on my two RCF but they get hot quick can you tell me why they get hot so quick
My question is, does it outperform the "200.4" surfboard?
I got the surfboard still lol. Now needs some work so I bought the SFB 1000.4 to replace it while it’s being fixed. I’ll decide later if I like it better or not
The 200.4 was a let down, in my opinion

Dose this with or without speakers and rca's hooked up. Bought used like this trying to get it up and running. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
So the wattage in the beginning is only for 2ch and those #'s should be doubled to calculate all 4ch??
They didn't load all channels. The output of only two channels like in the test will be a bigger number. I wonder why they didn't load all 4 channels.
THERE IS NO OTHER 4CH AMP ON THE MARKET THAT DO 1 OHM DAMN AWESOME :)

rmblwgn I have the NVX 800.4 and I didn’t know this. Thanks
@@dvcsub I have polk pad 2000.2. Half of your amp. Same board design. Does like 900w at 2 ohm bridged
Also don't forget about the sax 200.4 V1 amp. Almost 500 watts per channel at 1ohm.
I have a prv 800.4 it's just like the 200.4 sfb
If I'm bridging channels do I change anything with the rcas or do I leave then as normal?. thx
Powered 4 rcf 8 ohms 10 inch midrange bridged n amp came up in smoke... what's the cause of this?
Why did you discontinue such a good mini amp
Dope thats a nice little amp. Might not need. A. second 4 ch amp
How is the sound it matters in the mids and heights
I ordered one. Itll be here tommorow!!!
Have you installed it yet? Drop a lil feedback if you dont mind, thanks.
Hello? Overheating mess?
Can you test the sfb 1800.5 soon, very interested in that amp for my wife
actually would like to know can i do the stb1000.4 at 16 ohm bridged stereo
Hey bud do we have an eta on the bass knob with clip light for the original sfb 3k owners? @sundownunofficial

Wow love this amp
My alpine r a60f is a dumpster fire! God god almighty i need love
A lot of power, but what about quality sound?
Would it hurt the amp if I only ran 2 channels @ 1ohm for a daily set up? As in leave the other 2 channels empty
No internal fan option?
Hey tht amp is perfect for my set up
hey big dog i have the 1000.4 can i run it at 8 ohm per channel
Real power
Where can I get one of those Sundown vinyl Banners u have on the back wall? NEED ONE ASAP!
Probably try calling?
Why is there so much extra space inside that? Heat dissipation?
Is there a SFB 1000.4 amp or 1000x4 channel amp.coming out? I saw it on the down4sound website and says its out of stock, but I don't see it on Sundown website.
Where is the 200.4 test?
I was completely on board to grab one. Was.
Was?
@@McRemmyBaby saw some videos of them failing after a year. Opted to pay more for less power, but korean reliability.
@@eversoul43 yup
@@McRemmyBaby yeah. I'm much more comfortable at 1 ohm with an amp that can handle .5 ohm than one that's sure to throw smoke if you go under 1 ohm.
WOW! Crazy Power!
I have a 2007 Tahoe. I’m trying to run 4 6.5 and 4 super tweeters. What ohm load should I by to run with this amp, 4ohm or 8ohm speakers
I just kept saying wow..
Same, when my alpine a60f overheats daily
What frequency was the test done at 40 Hz or 1K because you never said in the video and that makes a difference in power
He previously said he does all the tests at 40hz
That is crazy wow
How many 4 ohm mids can be hooked up to this amp. Rated at 200 each.
will you be doing a amp dyno test on the SFB 200.4??
I ordered me a 200.4. I hope it gets close to 100 at 4 ohm. I have Focals rated 100 rms
I figured each channel would play the same.
You answered my question.
Does it heat up quick ?
Can anyone say what will the sfb 1000.4 dow bridge at 2 ohms
What is max voltage can it do more then 15v
What frequency is that test
Would this amp be a good choice for 4 6.5 coaxials
Im using the 500.4 for 4 CS 6.5 mids. Bit overkill but works great
That is quality.
