[WTF just happened?]

I hooked up a battery charger to my trucks battery and I went outside 30 minutes later to look for my cell phone and my amp was ON and it was flickering in and out of protection mode. It was soooo hot I couldn't hold it. I quickly disconnected the remote wire thinking I was getting a signal from my head unit since I've been getting a voltage leak lately and it didn't stop. Once I stopped the charger, the amp went off. All that was connected to the amp were power and ground wires and it was still on. I turned the charger back on the the amp stayed off. WTF HAPPENED? I think it fried my amp. I'm so pissed right now.

[WTB: Sundown SA-8 v.1]

Looking for a used Sundown SA-8 v.1 sub. One that is not in need of a recone or blown coil..

[UR ALL DOING IT WAY WRONG!!!!]

My phone tells me I do a 140.00 on the dash. lol.

There's an app for that!

I do not believe I'm doing 140.00db

Most all phone mics are only sensitive up to 130db..

[Free Air SA-8 v.1 Help]

I ordered an SA-8 v.1 and I don't want to wait for a few weeks for it to break in so how do I go about breaking it in via free air? I've never done it before. How much power? What frequencies and where can I get some of the tracks?

Thanks, Will

[Box Design needed for single SA-8]

Just design and build it yourself. You will feel so much more pride when showing it off knowing that you done it all. This is the perfect one to start with as well, small enclosure with a single driver. Just decide where you want it to go and do as chrislun said, L"xW"xH"/1728 don't forget to account for speaker and port displacement. I think Sundown is recommending 12"^2 for port area.

Yes, this X2!

If you have problems figuring something out with the Torres calculator, someone will help you. And that will still be considered your design. And he is right, it feels so good to come up w a design yourself, then build it, then see and hear the results. Now is the best time to learn, and like I say, if you need it, we will help!

I'll consider it. It does indeed sound satisfying!

[SA-8 on 1000w rms daily?]

I would get a d4 so you can run it at 2ohms. I'm sure it could take 1000 watts thermally but not mechanically.

Yea that's what I'm thinking. 600w rms is probably plenty for them daily anyway and then I have room for another D4 later on maybe

[SA-8 on 1000w rms daily?]

they could, but you need to be really careful and have a properly built enclosure

What would a properly built enclosure be for this? Smaller?

[SA-8 on 1000w rms daily?]

Can they safely handle 1000w rms daily? I'm buying an SA-8 and my amp does 600w rms @ 2 ohm and 1000w at 1 ohm so I need to know if I should order the D4 or D2 sub.

Yea definitely not paying >$8 for a design when there's a guy doin them for $1. I just can't seem to get a hold of him anymore. He's designed me a few boxes already for past systems.

.5 cube

Thanks for the design.

I need a ported enclosure for a single Sundown SA-8 preferably tuned around 32-33hz. I'll be using it daily with 500-600w rms. Anyone have a design for me?
