cbianco Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 I think I am going to take advantage of Skar's "trade" program and I am trying to decide what to get. I've never messed with any 8" subs before, figured I would start a little fun project. As well, this will be my first foray into Skar audio. What are the main differences between the MA 8 and the VVX 8? How do I know/figure out, which one to choose? Christopher

cbianco Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Posted July 6, 2012 http://www.skaraudio...ctscatalog.html ma8 is supposed to be a better sub than the vvx8 its like $85 more so that should say something More $$$ doesn't always mean better IMO. isnt the ma8 and spl sub Yeah. The MA8 is supposed to be SPL orientated. What does this mean in terms of real world performance? I was hoping that someone could tell me exactly what the differences are between the two subs. I've read Skar's site but both drivers seem pretty close to me. I know there has to be some difference. Skar wouldn't create 2 different lines of subs that do the same thing. 1
Smoove Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Is it really a VS thread if the subs are the same brand? And what kind of power are you planning on putting the 8's? 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/
cbianco Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Posted July 6, 2012 ...And what kind of power are you planning on putting the 8's? It would be 1 driver and I plan on putting ~500 watts to it.
Smoove Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Well since they are both rated at 400wrms I would go with the MA 8 because it looks cool and should have a little more boom to it 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/
cbianco Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Posted July 6, 2012 Well since they are both rated at 400wrms I would go with the MA 8 because it looks cool and should have a little more boom to it The MA8 is a good looking woofer. I am a bit concerned since Skar recommends a ported box of about .75cf for the MA8. Their directions said something about not going much larger. I was hoping to do something crazy like 2-2.5cf but I don't want to ruin a perfectly good woofer.
