MA-8 looks nice!
I like the stitching best, great touch IMO.
-
sounds good to me and after all it will only be an 8 it may be shocking....
Ha ha.
I'm only running a single DD1512 D4 right now and as much as I love bass I'll never be a ground pounder. However, I like to experiment but I've never had the oppurtunity to truly play around with car audio beyond basic installations. Who know's what will come of this foray.
-
really like any audio decision is what do you want out of the sub what do you want it to do?
Very true.
My main goal is to see how loud I can get off of 1 8" driver and learn how to build my first box using this woofer.

Rent a Mod moment: No vs. threads.
Please do not report this thread as a VS thread guys.
This user is asking the Vender Skar Audio (in their section) for the differences between 2 of their model woofers he is deciding on getting and wondering which would suit his needs better.
This is why these vender sections are here.
In no ways is he trying to compare a Skar woofer with another brands woofer, he is just wondering the differences..
Thanks

Thank you Brian. Up until now, I ignored the previous post.
Anyone else out there that can help influence my descision?
-
with those solo X's the bass hits so hard they knock your teeth out. Thats why they also included two mouthpieces.
LOL! That too.

there are 2 skar vvx8 on sale at floridaspl for 220 shipped, you might be interested
I appreciate the offer but I'm looking for a single driver, dual 4. Thanks.
-
WTF? Funny, I lol'd my donkey off!

sundown sa-8...but in this case ma-8
Ha Ha. I considered the SA8 but how could I resist Skar's trade in offer.
-
Well since they are both rated at 400wrms I would go with the MA 8 because it looks cool and should have a little more boom to it
The MA8 is a good looking woofer.
I am a bit concerned since Skar recommends a ported box of about .75cf for the MA8. Their directions said something about not going much larger. I was hoping to do something crazy like 2-2.5cf but I don't want to ruin a perfectly good woofer.
-
...And what kind of power are you planning on putting the 8's?
It would be 1 driver and I plan on putting ~500 watts to it.

ma8 is supposed to be a better sub than the vvx8
its like $85 more so that should say something
More $$$ doesn't always mean better IMO.
isnt the ma8 and spl sub
Yeah. The MA8 is supposed to be SPL orientated. What does this mean in terms of real world performance?
I was hoping that someone could tell me exactly what the differences are between the two subs. I've read Skar's site but both drivers seem pretty close to me. I know there has to be some difference. Skar wouldn't create 2 different lines of subs that do the same thing.

I think I am going to take advantage of Skar's "trade" program and I am trying to decide what to get. I've never messed with any 8" subs before, figured I would start a little fun project. As well, this will be my first foray into Skar audio.
What are the main differences between the MA 8 and the VVX 8?
How do I know/figure out, which one to choose?

Run them at 8 ohms
That's what I was thinking, however I'm not sure that the amp puts out rated, he may not be in any danger running the subs lower.

Even though it says 420 @ 2ohms it puts around 505rms at 2ohms.
Solid amp, perfect for around $400
What amplifier?
This is what I use for my daily driver. It's works great and I have ran it at full tilt for quite a while and it barely gets warm.
Btw, you can find them for around 350-400.
Nice amp but I'm looking for a bit more from the 5th channel.
-
The DB Drive-Okur A3 2200.5 is 4 x 75W + 1 x 750W RMS.
Cool. Where did you find this info?
-
Can I ask why you don't just get seperate amps? That way you can get a A/B class amp for you mids and highs and a class D for your Subwoofer.
Simplicity of design and only a small budget to work with. Alot of 5 channels offer a/b for mids and highs and d for the sub.
ALpine PDX v9
It's a bit out of my price range but dully noted.
Here are some other options:

But it would be less expensive and better performing to go for a 4 channel AB and a Sub amp.
I can't agree to this expecially once you add in distribution blocks, most likely an extra battery, and additional wiring.
five channels are the way to go for a simple daily driver install i think
I'd agree. Simplicity of design and an oppurtunity to get my feet wet.
5 channel amps are great for "listening" systems ...
But if you plan to beat the shit out of it ... My suggestion yould be to go with multiple amps (2 2 channels and 1 mono block) for maximum power supply setup ...
one power supply just wont be able to handle the punishment ...
just my suggestion here ...
For now, $ are a factor. With a multiple amplifier setup there are many additional costs.
audison lrx 5.1 is a 5 channel that has plenty of balls. \
class a /ab/ and d
LRX 5.1 is a sweet amplifier but too rich for my blood.
Anyone have opinions on the two amplifiers I've posted at the beginning?
-
I'm looking at 5 channel amps for my car. My budget is $300-$400. I would like the sub channel to put out atleast 500 watts @ 2ohm. I've narrowed it down to these two.
My sub is a DD 1512D4a.
JBL-GTO 5EZ
@14.4V
F/R 4 x 50 Watts @ 4 Ohm
Sub 1 x 500 Watts @ 2 Ohm
DB Drive-Okur A3 2200.5
@14.4V
F/R 4 x 150 Watts @ 4 Ohm
Sub 1 x 1000 Watts @ 1 Ohm (1 x 500 Watts @ Ohm)
I'm skeptical that the DB Drive puts out the power it says it does.
I have no experience with either brand, at all.
Any opinions? Other options?
