02Explorer Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Is this a sub that will shake your car? Is it worth getting one of these or do they not perform that well. I've heard many good things about these and would like to know if it is worth getting one, and how many watts they can really take. Is it a good SPL sub could i take it competitions and have any chance whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Is one of the loudest 8" subs you can get, but if wanting to get loud I would still go for proper higher diameter subs given that there's enough space for them, you can get an array of SA-8s but it turns too expensive, not only because of the subs but the amplification and electrical that it would take to move them.

Alvi45 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 they do perform very well for being an 8 but if you have room to put 12's go that direction.. i went with 2 sa-8v2's in my silverado only because i don't have much room and I'm not taking the seat out because i have kids and my only vehicle.. don't very me wrong these subs sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revoracing247 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 they are a beefy 8" sub and sound good. but i mean an 8" is still just an 8". i got one cause boxes don't take nearly as much wood as they would for a 15" or something. so i can play around with cool box designs easily.
