CoryP0512 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Recently picked up a DC Level 2 8 D2. I have an Audiopipe Mini 1000rms amp for now. I Have a capacitor, upgraded alternator and second battery. (all were upgraded when I had Viair compressors for my bags before my engine driven compressor). I am getting ready to build my box this weekend hhopefully. I am looking to build one at 1cu/ft tuned to 38hz. From what I have researched my little amp does its rated power woth ease and especially with my electrical set up. I can wire the sub at 4ohm or 1ohm. Which would be best and what do you guys think I will see db wise? Ive played with systems before but always had 15's or 12's and nothing to pricey but I'm stepping up and plan on adding another 8 in the near future. If you see anything wrong with the box tuning also what would you recommend . Thanks Cory GOing in the s10 in my avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I would say smaller box and lower tune. .8cu ft at 35hz. As for wiring, what does the amp put out at 1 and 4 ohms? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassrace Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 170's Lol J/k There's no way to know without a termlab but if you do everything correctly high 130's or real low 40's imo Quote 145.9@40hz 145.3@34hz big 3 X2 group 34 Deka Group 31 All 0/1 awg jl meta wire Alpine CDA 7894 Orion HCCA D5000 2 AQ HDC312's Crunch gpv1100.2 (for 6.5"s only) AQ pro audio 6.5" - 3 sets AQ supertweeters - 2 sets 2000 Slamry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryP0512 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 1000 @ 1ohm and 300 @ 4ohm is what its rated and from what I read theyre pretty accurate. Budget amp for now. And I was thinking the box was a little big for a single eight. Ill redo it a lttle smaller. Do you think the sub will handle 1000 @ 1ohm or should I wire it at 4 for daily use and bump it up for fun? Hahaha i wish the little 8 would hit 170 haha that would be ideal. I'd be happy with 140. Thats louder then most my friends that have 12's and 15's. I can hurt their feelings with a little 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 It won't take 1000 watts for very long. Wire it to 4 ohms and look for a 4-500 rms amp. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatersGonnaHate Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Tommy McKinnie was running one small sub (can't remember 8 or 10) in his truck for a bit and putting out retarded numbers. How retarded were the numbers? Like 140's? Or did the TL just display 'Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr'?

Thats louder then most my friends that have 12's and 15's. I can hurt their feelings with a little 8. .8 cu ft @ 35hz sounds great. wire it to 1 ohm and be conservative on the gains. so u have clean power that the 8 will like.. i wouldnt count on a 140. look forward to like 132-135db @ 48hz? something like that.
