2 sundown sa-8's , a few questions

Recommended Posts

I am dying to buy these lil' monsters , i have a large trunk (chrysler 300) and am wanting an optimal vented box for these bad boys, can a pro or guru chime in and offer any suggestions or tuning freq. suggestions,an box size, i plan on running probably a sundown 1000D amp @ 1 ohm mono so the 2 8's will split 1k rms, im looking for a box to really make these subs sing yet still play music, not just pure spl, thanks in advance

.6-.75^3ft tuned somewhere around 32-35 hz should yield what you are looking for. 1^3ft would yield a more efficient box but power handling will drop.

^^^This!!! I have 2 of these little beasts (about .7 each tuned to 33hz) on a 1200D and they are very impressive for an 8". Have received many comments from people thinking they were a larger sub.

Do you guys have suggestions for box building, etc, im horrible at buidling sub boxes, is there anywhere i can buy a box, or have one custom made here, besides a local car audio shop, my local shops are total losers and think kicker and rf still rule the world

Check out this section: Argent Audio You will be able to see the work he does and he can give you a quote on the enclosure and the shipping. It will be custom built for you and your needs. Not a prefab that fits many applications.

Check with Andrew at Argent Audio or Quentin at Audible Customs. They have sections under fabricators.
