That box is very nice, a little on the small side and tuned high but if your happy that's all that matters.

For daily about 12 in^2 each "Port Area" or "Port Area Per Foot"? Couple more Questions: 1. Being that there's no pole vent, very little space needs to be left behind sub and thus allowing the build of a little shallower enclosure? 2. What's the displacement? Area per woofer of 12 in^2 1) That is correct -- little to no space needed behind it. 2) 0.1 Just to clarify that's 12 sq. in. per woofer in the recommended .5 to .75 correct?

Well he has clearly already worked something out with FI since he said he has already talked to them and they took it. Defiantly seems like a user error situation. I've met a lot of people that think there amp does it's rated power at full tilt on the gain lol.

That's too much port area, I'd try 16-18 per cu. ft. for an sa8 and you have to enter the number of common port walls to get the proper box specs. The box you drew has 3 common port walls.

I got a re sx 10 that needs a re-cone, so I was thinking about re-coning it to a 12 with the FI kit but before I pull the trigger I wanted to know what options to choose and what kind of difference can I expect going from a stock re sx to a fi re-coned sx.

I could be wrong but I think your talking about the basket and cooling options are done to the motor.

Only the gasket got damaged? That's pretty lucky that the cone or surround weren't damaged but it defiantly sucks to get something new a find shit like this.

Interesting read, I never saw this before.

I'd go with the sa-8 if it's gonna be a single sub. I've owned two so far, used both in single sub systems and they were killer. Many people were surprised that it was just one 8.

bump for my question.

Okay, how much of a difference does the compression plug make and it's just a plug I can install my self correct?

I found a decent deal on some dd 1508's locally but they're s4 voice coils and I noticed on dd's website they are now only offered as d2 or d4 so I was wondering if there's any difference in between the two other than the voice coil configurations.

email Sundown.

I loved my sa-12, it got real loud and sounded good.

Very nice.

I use USPS since I live in Hawaii and all 3 of my sundown subs arrived in battered boxes with the Styrofoam all broken but luckily none of the subs were damaged. I figure in the shipping process it goes through so many hands that it's destined to get beat up. On another note that's a very good looking sub.

Damn I wish shipping to Hawaii wasn't so expensive.

From what I've read power handling will be the same, box sizes will be the same but they will do better in larger enclosers and they will be noticeably louder watt for watt .

I can't wait for these to come out, my v1 sa-8's were killer.

It will be fine and making the box bigger will help with efficiency, although you might want to put more power to it down the road to see it's true potential. What kind of car do you have?

Are your gains set correctly?

it is free. He asked for the time not price.

Audiopipe isn't that bad for the price and I haven't had any bad experience with them.

Welcome. What side of the island are you located?

How can you say that without knowing what kind of power he is using? My mistake, I just figured he was gonna feed them at least rated power.
