WhiteNastyCharger10 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm lookin to get 4 of these sundown sav2 8's. I really wanna drill the lows but wondering about cubic ft for all 4..? Any suggestions? Probably tuning Around 33 or 34 hz.

ds1919 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 My box is 2 cu ft for four SA8v.2 D2 subs. thats the internal box volume. I also have a slot port, dimensions are 9.5" x 3" x 22". Its all the room I had left in the trunk to get the port to work. My tuning is around 36hz. A 1.0 cu ft box for all 4 subs wont sound good. For a temporary sub system, before I finished my box, I had two Skar vvx8 subs in a tiny box, about .3cu ft per sub. They sounded horrible in there, and the subs didnt look healthy at larger volumes. Specs are similar for both brands, and so they do need a minimum of .5 per sub. Figure .1 cf for the displacement of the magnet and stuffing, so you want internal box dimensions to be a minimum of .6-.7cf. And ported is a must, they love ported. Sealed doesnt sound good. You may want to look into perhaps building a setup with two 8s and one or two 12s. You;ll get the snap from the 8s as well as some lows, and also some truly deep lows with the 12. that has always been my favority setup, and I may switch to that.

sundownz Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 A range from 0.5 to 1.0 works for the v.2 models depending on your power. I run closer to 0.5 in my VW golf on three tuned to ~30 Hz and it peaks at 29 in-car Quote - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_76 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 If they are going to be a lil over powered, should you stay on the small side of the suggested box size? Say between .5 and .6 per? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
