    So we finally finished glassing the box today, I got some 12G wire at a local shop(that will remain unmentioned due to them being horrible) made by QPower and it looks like 14G with thick insulation it claims AWG status and it is solid copper wire, not CCA so I guess I can't complain much. Wired the subs at 4 ohms each then ran them in parallel which gave me a 2 ohm load. Checked the finished product and it came out to 1.8 ohms.... Badass. Got the box in the car, wired to the amp and........ nothing. One of the wires inside the box came out of the connection, checked the resistance again and nada... Popped the sub over the terminals out and fixed the wiring. Threw them back in the car, wired them up and put on White Clouds by Decaf. At 24 seconds the skies parted and the hand of God covered my ears with the loudest bass my car has ever experienced. All at (rated, not clamped)150WRMS. Bass was at the middle like in the above video and judging by the feeling dyno I am pretty confident it was around 130db. Definitely impressed. Seems to hit best between 42-50 htz on my tester cd and I can not wait to get a new amp. I swear I will go deaf. Lol. Bumped it for about 30 minutes on the way home on some Decaf, the bass hit so hard when I got home I could feel it in my throat... Overall these are some mean motherfuckers and I was not prepared for what I experienced.

    I am loving it.

    No offense but if you think an 8th order is just 2 simple ported boxes firing at each other then you have MUCH to learn. And 48hz is REALLY high tuning for a daily box.

    When I posted that I was referring to this and using a 3" thick baffle:

    I also never said the subs fired at each other and I didn't realize they had a port between the chambers.

    Well how does it sound?

    Currently the one I have in my car in an old .35 cube sealed box on a RF Pbr300.1 sounds great, unfortunately we had to reverse mount it because the box was so small . I forgot to throw up my decaf vid:

    Cell phone camera sucks and doesn't do the sub justice. My pair of MA80xe's never hit like that and that is just one Skar in the same boxes the MA80xe's were in for a few months.

    That 4 th had way too small of a ratio.... hence why u cut it up

    Think 2 cubes ported to 1 sealed minimum.... pr 3 ported 1 sealed

    So you are saying basically a 2:1 ratio? So if I ever decide to make another .75 sealed and 1.5 ported would be more optimum?

    So what is the mounting depth? I have tore down my box and have already started rebuilding it, my MA80xe's have about an inch before one of them hit the port with the magnet. I would guess about a 6" depth is what I have going on now with a 1.22CF displacement (not including port dimensions which equal out to .25CF). Am I gonna clear with the Skars or should I rethink my port?
