DreamAutoInteriors Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi, I'm new to sundown audio but not so new to car audio Essentially we do car upholstery , audio and electronics in the UK. I built a budget system for a friend a couple years back - 2 12" pioneer subs 2.5 cuft sealed box- an 1800 Kenwood amp all that stuff. Output and quality was there aswell as being pretty damn clean But he's switching to a new car, an Astra sporthatch (google it ) And ideally wants the same kinda output but less space used up. I decided on sundown after hearing a good things and reading good reviews- Problem is I only have an 1800W max amp for the system. So I need your help to chose either a SA 8 or an SA 10 both seem to give brilliant output for size. So enclosure suggestions and oh I will definitely pull down the gains accordingly to suggestions Thanks! Oh btw only a SINGLE sub system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylorpro Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 do a 10. uses a 2.5" coil rather than the 2" on the 8. SET THE AMP GAIN CORRECTLY, and you'll have no issues.

ghettobasshead Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Id go with the 10 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamAutoInteriors Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 That's all settled then a 10" it is, thanks for that. Also what sort of enclosure do you recommened for the sub and that power? 1.25 cuft tuned to say around 38 hz? The sub will be used for music and show off the output on music rather than pure SPL numbers Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamAutoInteriors Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 It's a decent Kenwood 900w RMS or 1800W peak monoblock amp. It's stable to 1 ohm too. It's a KAC-9104D, but thinking to maybe sell it with the old car and buy a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
