SA8 Free air

[jhmeg2]

yo dude i think you need to rethink this DIY stuff. Maybe take it to a shop.

I work in a shop (part owner) its my personal car with my idea just wanted to see people opinion of the setup and if it would work that all

[mirosbee23]

He wants to keep it totally stock basically. The depth of the SA will never work in that stock location. The magnet is damn wide too. And no, the SA will not work in a free air environment, not well anyway.

that was my worry too I don't have the sa8 here with me to see fitment I figure the that sub has a big ass motor and didn't know if it would fit I have the specs but didn't see the point in checking if the setup its self wouldn't work free air

He's trying to put the sub in a cutout made for a factory alpine setup that wasn't an option. Dafuk. Just build a damn sealed or ported

it was an option decided to make my own setup since I always redo system in all the cars I buy

I can always build a sealed or ported box and be like everyone else im trying to do something different was trying to see if anyone has tried it or is also trying to do this and what route there going

It is a creative idea, but that cutout was most likely designed to work with the alpine subs they use

yeah I know

ive seen other subs installed like shallow mount subs in the dart forum but I wouldn't know how they sound ive ask but no response yet

trying to think out the box

I guess plan B it is 2 fi sd 10'' with custom box ......

thanks

Fi SSDs sound like a good plan. That box won't take up too much space either.

Would the sundown sd-2 8 work? They like seled boxes better..

I have never run the SD-2 8, but I am currently running a SD-2 10 in a sealed box and it sounds great.

"I work in a shop (part owner) its my personal car with my idea just wanted to see people opinion of the setup and if it would work that all"

Hopefully you just push paperwork or sell or something because anyone who has ever done an install would have told you to put it in a 5 gallon bucket.
