just1moreamp Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 I would tune somewhere in the 35-38hz range with the sa8,,,,,,,,,but thats just me,
Crandis16 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 honestly, i think your box is tuned to high, what is your box tuned to right now? 30hz, tuned too low if anything for standard music My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL
Neckbeard Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 OP, go get some decaf and play it on your system. Also, how is your low pass filter? could be the problem Build log, Super slow!!: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/168096-slow-neckbeards-1970-opel-gt/
caskinsro Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 Right now its tuned 25hz subsonic, 80 lpf, 20% boosted clean. Is it possible a shitty head unit could cause bad sounding? Mine is quite old (just got the car, sold my good one with my old car) and have no replaced it. Older JVC, hate it a lot. what type of box would you say these would work best in? Right now they are in an S shaped port, subs and port facing forward. Seen a lot of people say a T line would work well, or an aero port (however its spelled)
Neckbeard Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 wait...your box is tuned to 25hz? Build log, Super slow!!: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/168096-slow-neckbeards-1970-opel-gt/
caskinsro Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 No, subsonic is down to 25. Box is right around 30
Joe X Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Those subs were likely designed for burps, had very high Fs from some early version I looked at. OP do you have parameters of yours?

CleanSierra Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 I agree with Joe. I don't believe those version of the SA8 were designed to be super dynamic. they were made for SPL applications, ie one note wonder burp boxes. get the regular V2 version of the subs, tune to 35 Hz with about 1.25-1.50 cubes after displacements and your good to go. Those subs are likely not gonna do great on really wide range of music listening. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
caskinsro Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 Well, that kinds sucks. O well. Ill just build a new box and see what I can end up with. Would adding a few more help at all? Give me a bit more all around sound, or just go with the NS in a larger size?
