sundown-e21 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Hey guys. I have an 12 inch sub in a huge box in my trunk and i was thinking about switching to two 8's because of the sale and size differences. have any of you guys done it? I need something that doesn't rip apart my trunk like the 12 lol but i want it still be somewhat loud. I also want it to be smaller and i think 8's will be able to do that. Inputs? Thoughts?

SnowDrifter Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Put the 12 in a smaller box, tune higher and put a limit on your sub 30hz addiction Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sps1989 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 i went from a dc level 4 12 to 3 dc 8s. not much of a smaller box but i think it was worth it. the 8s were actually louder than 12 with less of power...800 watts at 2 ohms for the 12 and about 670 total at 2.67 ohms for the 8s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
