I have one 3500D on the pair.

Setup is pretty simple -- here are a few still pictures : The platform for the box consists of some random wood scraps... I didn't want the subs firing into the amp rack / amps so I raised it up a bit to about 0.75" under the window line. Could probably gain a few tenths taking the wires out of my port... but I haven't gotten to the optimizing phase yet. We just built the box today and dropped it in!

Outlaw Video : 150.4 in the kick panel also at 53 Hz.

I rate it so low because no matter what I say people put double that on it

They are SUB woofers -- I suggest an LPF no higher than 200 Hz.

Sealed on the dash video : Outlaw score best... 150.4 dB as of now. Same frequency, 53 Hz. Uploading Outlaw video shortly.

One 3500D @ 1/2 ohm :hairtrick:

So far in my testing... I've gotten 149.0 dB from my pair of SA-8s @ 53 Hz in my Jeep. New box layout that I've never tested before... sub forward / port back

Oldest e-mails in my box are from the 23rd... so I am getting closer to caught up !

Of course.

Coil winding is 33% longer than the E8 was : SA-8 Coil on the left and E8 on the right.

Yes ! Some pictures vs the SA-12. This thing is MEAN... cannot wait to get it in a box. VIDEO ! We had a 1500D @ 1 ohm on it... not using all the power, but we got on it pretty hard.

Sorry guys - backed up again. I am going to let everyone in on why that is : 1) My e-mail volume in 2009 *so far* is two times higher than what I got in 2008 all year long. 2) I have been in the process of buying a new home for several weeks now, this takes up alot of time. 3) As many of you know I have a son - he is now 8 months old - so I can't do much e-mail at home these days. 4) Flu season came through... I got sick after MECA finals, that took me out of work completely for a day and slowed me down for a few more. 5) We are busier than ever - and I do alot of other things besides e-mails. Lots of new things in development... uses up alot of my attention and time. All in all... sorry for the delays ! Today won't help much... I have to head out early to take care of some business and my e-mail box already has well over 100 messages that need replies. I will do as many as possible this morning !

Looks great as always !

Glad you had a good time meeting the Team !
