e8v1 as midbass

[Out There Customs 0]

I have a guy going to be building a sound quality system with alot of equipment he has had for years (he has more equipment then alot of shops---his last count 2.5 years ago was 68 amps, 45 subs, 42 sets of components, 27 coax sets, 84 decks, 7 different eqs, 8 diff crossovers, and more) he has added to this rapidly since. he also has a wall doing 159.4 peak outlaw, blow thru 154.3 outlaw, trunk doing 151.8, and trunk doing 147.6. these are all daily systems too! the guy is a little crazy! now he wants to do a sq system and has everything (dont no exact equipment but using 2 31 band crossfire eqs and 2 crossfire 4 way crossover-old school and audio control center channel driver and audio control 8v line drivers). he is using seperate amps for everything and will be using a pair of sundown e8v1 in his kick panels each running off a 500 watt amp (1ohm stable running at 2 ohm equaling 250 w rms each sub). the e8s will be used as more of a mid/front stage bass. he feels this may add a little difference overall from the norm. what do you guys think would be a good size for kick pod enclosures for these off 250 rms each?

Why not steer him towards the new NEO 8"?

Why not steer him towards the new NEO 8"? The E8v1 was designed as a subwoofer. A subwoofer is not designed to play up to 1K-2500hz.

lol............. 1k-2500hz??? that aint a midbass range. you might wanna check on that. hes talking about the 50-150hz range i believe.

Our guys in Russia do it fairly often -- I'd use around 0.2 cubes.

Apply some KISS otherwise you'll miss out on the SQ's

Im no sq expert but one thing I've known / learned is keeping it simple, as Sean said.

Throwing too much shit together just because you have it is a bad idea.

If you keep the crossover at 200-250hz, or lower, I'm sure it will be fine. I'm not sure how high those e8's can play, but you don't want a dedicated midbass playing much higher than that anyways.

if you know Jamie Basset out of Havre MT formally from Ipswitch SD then you know he has a sh!t ton of equipment and randomly throws stuff together and is always louder then he should be. he showed up to a show with 6 12s walled, 2 weeks later 4 15s walled, 3 weeks later a trunk system and the next weekend 2 18s walled. This was all in 1 vehicle. The guy is crazy and has a pretty good plan and just need a little with the question at hand. The e8s are for a low end midbass in his front stage. and thanks jacob.

Any ideas other then .2 jacob?

I wouldn't call it a good plan so far. Making it very hard on himself to be successful with his goals if they are truly SQ.
