hzsogood Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Been a long time since I've actually bought car audio, and there seems to be alot more options than I'm used to. I have an AQ1200d and am finally getting to throwing subs in the trans am. I have a DC lvl 3 , but with the weird Hatch area on the trans am, nothing seems like it will work right, while still being hidden below the tank. I can get about 2.2 cubic feet or so of enclosure, minus sub and port displacement, so hoping to have about 1.3 net area.. but will need to know if I should go slot port or aero? Where to buy:.... I know for the regulars this is a easy question.. But I just want to keep supporting the vendors, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hzsogood Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 If someone has a minute could you work with these dimentions.. 9" H - 36" L - 13" D Thats the max area I have in the back to work with. Im using the torres calculator, but cant remember where my numbers need to be for these 3 specs Port area Port area per foot Port ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToNasty Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 1.5 cubes net with 24" of port Quote ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzsogood Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks. Actually its just going to be one sa-8 for now. So .75 net tuned to 35. What numbers should I have for the 3 areas I listed above? I remember 16-18 cubic inches of port per cubic foot of box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLEXrifleman Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 are you building the box? I have a 98 and am going to squeeze out a little under 4 cubes for 1 Zv4. How much work are you willing to do? Quote Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzsogood Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I am building the box. But I want the cubby area open so I can mount the amp down there. Then I'm just going to put the box on top of the 2 side humps. And I want it lower than the top of the gas tank... I'm sure I could make a 4 cube enclosure but I want it all hidden. Behind the carpeted flap... Hope that all made sense lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTC360 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 these cars get loud with minimal equipment, my future build will be 2 X-8's on somewhere around 2.5-3k. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it man!

hzsogood Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks man. Should be a fun lil project. Makes it tough wanting everything hidden tho , really limits my space. I don't want anything crazy. But once I get the first one in there. I'm sure I'll want another. Can't wait to see his this little guy sounds in there. For now I'll be pushing it with my aq1200d at 2 ohm.. so should be around 700 RMS or so after voltage drop and rise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCS530 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I have a single sa-8 in the trunk of my civic right now. It is unbelievable how much sound and movement I get out of it. Shakes the sunroof even! My box is .75 cubes (after displacement). 2 3“ Aero ports tuned around 35. The problem with the aeros is that they are each 25“ long. Tough to have a tiny little box with crazy long pipes sticking out of it. For compact I would think slot port might be easier. Quote Several systems, several vehicles.
