photochrisb931 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 A friend of mine has four of the 8 ohm version behind the rear seat of his four door full size Chevy truck. He is running them parallel for a 2ohm load off of the sub channel of a JL HD 900/5. Also he has the Audio Control EQS to control equalization. The w36's are in a single chamber ported box I believe they are tuned to around 45hz. He has the big three and not sure which red Stinger bat up front but I know he has the SPP 680 under the back seat. He has Focal 2 ways in all four doors. They sound great on what he normally listens to which is Jazz classic rock and country. In my opinion if you are looking to add a good punch in a very small space these are great little woofers. I have heard them on the type of music described above not on rap. I would doubt they have the boom that most rap contains at least in the box he built. They do fill the low end very well and balance perfectly with his highs for a very well balanced sound. Quote Barstad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrot Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 well ive got a sundown sa8 as of now tuned to around 35hrz and pold 6.5" all around so im looking for something to bridge between the 6.5s and the 8"...you think a pair of these would do the trick?

photochrisb931 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I would say yes they would do the trick quite well. I am in the process of upgrading my highs and I am adding two pairs to fill the gap between my mids and my 13.5. My opinion of them is they are a top notch midbass woofer not really a sub. I am not familiar with the sa8's output. I am familiar with the sa12's and they would blend well and not overshadow it at all. But that is nothing some level adjustments could not fix.

photochrisb931 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I will be losing my map pockets on my front doors and glassing pods with them in. In the rear I will build them in to the 6x9 location and relocating my mids and tweets to another area of the deck. I looked at is a challenge to do something creative LOL. Have fun man those little buggers sound darn good. Edited July 20, 2011 by photochrisb931 Quote Barstad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
