iceman1575 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 So, I'm in a bit of a predicament. I'm wanting to put a stereo in my crew cab Silverado, something simple, so I'm recycling my 4 SA-8v1's (following recone) and putting them in my truck. Took a look tonight though, there isn't a ton of room to play with though, it looks like...measurements I could grab work out to be about6.5" bottom side5.5" top side10" rearNot a lot of room. Of course, this isn't going to be for a huge SPL goal, just some bass to have in the truck (at least something that will destroy most of the junk Sony/Pioneer/JVC systems around here lol), doors aren't going to be a big goal to keep up with, replacing each door with components on an Alpine H/U and 45w x 4 power pack. I'm just more worried about how I'm going to build the enclosure to work with them. Any tips/suggestions? POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Here is a box I did for 4 RF 8"s in a customer's crew cab Silverado. Just an idea of what you can fit.

iceman1575 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Here is a box I did for 4 RF 8"s in a customer's crew cab Silverado. Just an idea of what you can fit. Looks about the same as my truck. Sealed only? I'm not sure how the SA-8's will work sealed, may be my only option though... POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah its sealed. That's what the customer wanted. You might be able to fit a ported box for two SA-8s, but there is no way you are going to fit a ported box for four of them back there.

Triticum Agricolam Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Just to give you an idea of how little that space is after you subtract out the thickness of your box material, those four 8"s only have .25 cubic feet of net volume each and there is only about a 1/8" of clearance between the magnets and the back of the box.

iceman1575 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well, looking after my measurements again, it looks like they may not even fit due to the depth...bah...this will be interesting to figure out... POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 You don't need that seat on the passenger side. You can put a big 'ole box there, tons of space.

Can't take the seats out, I do need it actually. Plus I'm trying not to modify this truck too much. POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do something like what JoeX posted here: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/180204-my-first-attempt-at-a-vented-enclosure/ If you used a quick disconnect on the wires to the box you could take it out pretty quickly when you needed to. I guess it depends on how much you need that extra seat.

iceman1575 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I may do something like that then, I'm not sure. After taking a look though, I may try selling mine for SD-2's which have the shallower mounting depth that may fit.. POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
