bighossf150 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) I'm looking at replacing the 8 my gmc with a sa8 v2, box is a dcarcustoms box .6 cubes at 33hz. I know what the sub is rated at but how much power have people been throwing at them? Amp options are a ab vfl100.1 or a ab ph4000md, I have a ct sounds 500.1 too but would rather not use it. I'm thinking of getting a d2 and throwing the 100.1 at it and see how it likes it, vfl is 1500@1 and the 4000md is 2k@1 Edited August 14, 2014 by bighossf150 Quote Used to have a loud truck 2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq 2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I had a pair of SA8v1.5s.. A v1 with a different basket iirc I had them on a RF T1500-1bdCP. Birthsheet was 1908 @1 I had them for like a yr.. 11 months.. And could count on one hand how many times I smelled them. I was being stupid/careless those times. It took a lot to smell them. When I uninstalled them, EVERYTHING was on point.. Except a scratched motor lol I know, it's not a v2.. But I'd expect the v2s to be an upgrade to the v1.5s Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighossf150 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) No v2 motor, I do have 3 sa motors but they are getting 15" recones and gonna be in a 4th order blow through, the sa8 is just a temp set up. I'm guessing the vfl is around 750-800 at 2ohm so it should be a perfect match but I want to push the sub as far as I can without it popping Edited August 14, 2014 by bighossf150 Quote Used to have a loud truck 2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq 2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
