sa-8 in 350z ?

[shadowm891 2]

has anyone ever heard just one of these subs in a 350z. i'm thinking about running one off a jl audio 300/2 amp at 2 ohm in my 08 350z.

i have 2 of these in my 350z.  struggling with frequency though.  not enough room for box or air space. Thinking of going with a sealed box.

 

 i had a single JL 12W7 first it was way worse, of course.

the SA-8s will not work well in a sealed box. dont do it!

[shadowm891 2]

i figure 2 8's would be way to much for a 350z that is why i figure i go with 1 8 but not sure if it be a good ideal ?

1 10"

The SA-10s are the same price, aren't they?  Just do that and put it in an appropriate box.

Box is sub-dependent; your car just presents you with limitations.

[shadowm891 2]

so with the limit amount of space i have to work with u think i could run 1 sa 10 in my car with 500 watts ?. 26 1/2" w x 20 1/2" d x 9 1/2" h

[shadowm891 2]

 26 1/2" w x 20 1/2" d x 9 1/2 Haha

 

Which equals 2.2 before displacements.

Tuning low, with port area, in a small box is a waste...and what you are stuck with when using a single 8".

Say no to the ported 8" sub idea.

Your port will take up more space than the net space of your box. 

 

ie, choose differently

[shadowm891 2]

I figure I will go with a single 10 I will just need to figure out what size of a box I will need to build for the sub .

[wannabang 13]

You could do a decent sized sealed box and stuff it with polyfil.  I'm doing a sealed box, currently.  Should be much better than any stock sub I've ever heard, and loud in your small car.

[shadowm891 2]

Is that with a 10 or 8 ?

[shadowm891 2]

Sorry double post

^^ yeah, one ten. 

[shadowm891 2]

well let me know how it sounds man 

[wannabang 13]

Holy crap, I had no idea you were talking about the box I was building!  ...Mine's for a fifteen.  I was saying your ten in a sealed should get loud in your small car.  Upon rereading, I see where my sentence is awful. lol
