Sundown Audio SD-4 8" D2 Neo Shallow Mount Subwoofer | 400W RMS
The Sundown Audio SD-4 8" D2 Neo Shallow Mount Subwoofer is part of the latest SD v.4 Neo Series, built as the next evolution of the legendary SD-3. Designed for today’s sealed box applications where depth is limited, the SD-4 combines compact mounting depth, rugged construction, and world-class sound quality. With 400 watts RMS power handling, it’s the perfect shallow-mount subwoofer for daily drivers and enthusiasts looking for big bass in small enclosures.
Shallow Design – Maximum Performance
Unlike many “ultra-shallow” subs, the SD-4 prioritizes both sound quality and durability while still fitting tight spaces. Sundown eliminated the pole vent, allowing the motor to mount completely flush against the enclosure back wall. Combined with the all-new computer-optimized “W” foam surround, the SD-4 reduces required clearance by nearly 2 inches compared to most shallow subs, making it one of the most space-efficient designs available.
Advanced Cooling & Neo Motor Technology
-
Lightweight Neodymium Motor – Reduces angled depth requirements and overall weight compared to ferrite motors.
-
Side-Firing Gap Venting & OD Pole Channels – Provides efficient airflow for superior cooling.
-
Shorting Ring & Aluminum Faraday Ring – Smooths frequency response, lowers distortion, and improves linearity.
Engineered for Sound Quality
The SD-4 uses an under-hung motor topology, meaning the voice coil stays fully within the magnetic gap during excursion. This ensures an extremely flat BL curve and ultra-low distortion. With 14.5mm of linear excursion (one-way), the SD-4 delivers deep, accurate bass with superb sound quality in compact sealed enclosures.
