pontiac g8 sa8 build


Recommended Posts

subs will be sa8 2ohm dvc v.1 (but not sure if to upgrade to v.2)

i will be running them off a kicker zx400.1 for awhile until i get more funds together

as these subs are worth a small fortune(not for people in us)

for me to buy and ship 2 sub

v.1 $515 us

v.2 $625 us

then i must pay tax on them bring the price to around

v.1 $567 us

v.2 $687 us

so 200rms each, then will be on either zx750.1 for v.1 or zx1000.1 for v.2

if i go the v.2

ill have to run a 1" spacers around sub (witch will increase net by 0.04 each sub retaining the same net and tune as below)

or redesign a new box

at least my country isnt the only getting bent over

Think have nothing realy with bent to do. The caraudioscene and aftermarket is much smaller in the rest of the world than in the US:

Vew weeks ago i quote SKAR for a shipping 2 subs to Europe and it was arround 260 $. Ok European distributor can get shippings cheaper

in container´s or so. We have a other structure of taxes and dues of buissnes, so it have his price. Did you can get DD in Australia

a DD 1508 is also a vey good 8 sub.

we can get dd here but they make sa look cheap

we only get mainstream brands

pretty much same as what sonic sell but with less options in each brand

From the brands looks a little bit better in Europe, still only a vew US brands to get and all in the price 2.5 times higher than in the US, only Kicker is not this much expensiver,. The best is that European brands like Hertz, Focal, Audison sell in the US 1/3 lower than here.

i brought the kicker qs65.2 for my last build, 399 + post, 450 at my door (from sonic)

aust shops wanted $2000au about $2160us,

so i contacted kicker direct in the us. and the aust rep rang me and i was offered them for $1250au $1350us

and they wondered why i laughed at them

this was feb last year,

when your buying 4 set thats a big difference
