Daniel Shepard Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm not talking numbers, I'm talking everyday music, rap, rock, ect. I have yet to hear one but I know they are well talked about. What mainstream subwoofers will compare to a single sa8v2 on a ap15001d amp (turned down I'm sure)? I have read about what they can do but like I said the proof is in the sound, and no one around here has one that I can hear. I currently have two type r 10s in 2cubs net @38hrz on that audiopipe amp. It sounds alright, tuned to high for me, but how would a single little 8 in a recomeded enclosure compare? Sorry if this has been asked before but If you were to say that this 8 would be comparable to lets say a single type r 12 then I could better judge the output of it.

ChevyBoy95 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 in reality you can just say it will be louder or quieter. there are SO many factors playing that any judgement is essentially useless. all i can say is that they get loud for an 8, my loud is different from your thought of loud, and probably different from anyone else opinion of loud. i CAN tell you they dont sound like 8's with how much throw they have.

Daniel Shepard Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I know there are 1000 variables in my question.I'm just wanting testimonials on what one of these compare to a mainstream subwoofer so I can get a idea. I have heard alot of subs and owned a ton so I can judge off of what I already know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safiend Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Get on youtube and watch some videos. The 8 has less cone area than the 12, so the 12 already has the advantage. I couldn't tell you honestly which would be better. Only one way to find out :] Quote New build coming soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Testimonials of what? There are no verses threads and this can get into that category real quick As was pointed out yours, mine and everyone else's opinion on what loud means is different to everyone out there. You'll just have to go out and try to find the ones that in your opinion get loud to you, the biggest determining factor in any situation will be the enclosure. 1 Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notorious97200 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 One 8" won't be louder than your system. Maybe you should try another box ? Play with net volume, port area, lower tuning, subs & port placement, box palcement in the car,...etc If you want to test this sub, get at least 2, or 3 or 4 of them on your amplifier ! Usually I see pics with at least 2 SA8 per box. Quote black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200.

Crandis16 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I saw bass barbie did about 145 iirc on two SA-8 v2 subs. sooooooooo 72db give or take a few db Edit: but really, it all depends on your box, placement, your car, power.... etc it's too hard to tell. best way I would gather info would be to ask others who ran a single 8 Edited August 9, 2012 by Crandis16 Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
