CDetty Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 In your opinion, which do you think would be better? I'm leaning towards the SA-8s because the box would be smaller but they'd still get pretty loud.

pa-pa-platypus Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 it all depends on the application.... if you have enough space go with the 12's..if not the 8's...that or go with 2 12's and save yourself some cash..lotta options..whats the power and vehicle?

Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Trunk space is for pussies! Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

CDetty Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) It'll be going into a Honda Civic LX Sedan. I have enough room to mount 3 12's but the box would have to be built inside the trunk. As for the power, I don't have any amps powerful enough at the moment, but I was thinking a Bass Inferno BI2000DX, or 3 AutoTek Mean Machine M1600.2s. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears. As for application, I'm just a daily driver at the moment who wants a lot of bass. I do plan on going to Db Drags in the future though.

john253a Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Al comes down to box, and power If you do 4 8" it would be better, But idd say it all comes down to price, Myself idd say 2x12 and 4x 8" the 8" would be better But if you have space 3 12 anyday. But then again I love my 8's and my trunk, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semper Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm going for the same setup with 3 SA-12s. I just threw in my 2 12s yesterday and honestly they're more than enough. I'm running a BRZ2100.1D atm. My subs are D2 so they're being ran @ 2 ohms right now. SA-8s look sexy, but the 12s fucking slam. Never heard an 8 so I can't really give much opinion on them. But the cone area on the 12s will def be superior vs the 8s. Quote New Setup; H/U; Pioneer DEH-80prs. Wiring; 2 runs of 2/0 OFC & Big 3. Subs; 2 D1 DC Level 4s. Monoblock; DC 3.5k. 4 Channel; JBL GTO1004. Highs; Vifa NE25VTS-04. Mids; Aura NS6-255-8A. Alt; 160a. Batts; Optima, KHC1800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDetty Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well, I've seen 1 SA-8V2 in an SPL setup do around 150 Db. If the excursion is a lot further, then I guess the 8s would do more work. Quote 1999 Honda Civic- RIP 2003 Acura RSX Type-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
