Winn Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Why not 3 ported.. Seems like a space issue? Quote You know how you avoid that?

Supercharged DCs Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 How do you know what you "need"? Are you going off of manufacture recommendations or have you actually made a design and graphed it to see the response? Also, IIRC Jacob recommends using smaller enclosures when using multiple SA-8s, as little as .3cubes per with a large amount of them... Quote Bassless once again.

kam311 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 You would definatly like 2 sa-8's in a ported box more than 4 in a sealed box if you want to hit hard! And don't be ignorant, those little 8's are bad ass!!! I have a sa-10 in a sealed box, and sa's definatly like the port, that's when they shine IMO throw those 8's in a ported box and slap a 2k amp on them and trick the hell out of people that don't know what 8's can do lol Quote so far...

kam311 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) 2k more or less haha set your gains and dont play them full tilt, after box rise and everything they won't be seeing 2k... But a 1.5k would do them fine Edited July 18, 2011 by kam311 Quote so far...
