howelr Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I need to find a sub or 2 that gets loud but box size is an issue. i have a max of 1.7 cubes so im thinking a 10 or 2 8's? 10 is the max i can go in diameter. im going to be upgrading amps depending on the subs i get, my current amp is a Alpine MRP-500 500rms @ 2ohm im welcome to any suggestions just nothing ridiculous.

Maybe a DC Level 3 10" in a 4th order? You most likely wouldn't get a 2:1 ratio, but a smaller ratio would make it more musical if I'm remembering correctly.

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Also, what are your actual dimensions? You wouldn't want to have the sub firing from the sealed section directly into the port. That would cause unloading issues from what I've read Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack_e89 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 No budget? Were you wanting ported or sealed on the 1.7 cubes? Get an SA 10 1.0 ft^3 @ 35hz Quote 97 Suburban 8 custom PSI Platform 3 18's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howelr Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 so budget i wanna keep the sub under or close to $200 dems: 34 w 9 h 12 d it will probably be ported if i have the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) so budget i wanna keep the sub under or close to $200 dems: 34 w 9 h 12 d it will probably be ported if i have the room So basically 32.5W x 7.5H x 10.5D after .75 MDF displacement? If so that'd leave just under 1.5 cubes net so scratch my 4th order idea You could actually do the 2 SA 8's in their recommended .6 ft^3 per sub ported box @ 30Hz EDIT: Anybody notice the typo of .8 ft^3 displacement per SA-8?

howelr Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 im thinking about the sa-8's and the sa-10. so should i go 2 8's or 1 10? and ive seen the sa-8v2 is coming out. would that be a good investment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Skyrim Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'd personally do the 2 8s as to maximize cone area and fully utilize all the available space you have Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howelr Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 ok only thing is getting 2 of the 8's will put me at 270 plus i would need a bigger amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
