Mikesmith0890 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 As listed in the for sale section, I have a 12" BTL N2. I've been offered a trade for it, 3 sa8s v1.5. What are your personal thoughts on the trade? Buying another sa8 would be an option to make it 4 total. Vehicle is a 2007 civic si sedan. Would like to retain as much trunk as possible and be loud as possible. Listening to mainly rap and country. The 12 fits well space wise.

Joe X Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 To power 4 SA-8 you would need a 3.5K+ watts amp + electrical, hope that's not an issue.
n8ball2013 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 I wouldn't trade regardless of how much cone area you gain.

Mikesmith0890 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 Only missing link is the alternator. Which is coming soon. Xs d3400 in rear, plan on changing front yellow top to another d3400. 2 runs 1/0 and big 3 done. Amp is a crunch ground pounder 3k. So I have the power for either setup. Just unsure as to which would be the preferred option. AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever! I'd hit that so fucking hard whoever pulled me out would be King of England.

Mikesmith0890 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks for the opinion Nate. The sa8s would gain more cone area but at the expense of a bigger box. With having no experience with the sa8s I'm just not sure which is better. Your thoughts are helpful. Do you think the n2 would overall play louder and lower, or at least be more reliable? I enjoy the n2 on all of the maybe 800 watts it sees currently AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever!

n8ball2013 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Give it rated and wake it up. The sa8s are an ok woofer but if you are trying to conserve trunk space that box is going to be a good bit bigger then. I don't think you'll be any louder with the 8s.

JesseyMclame Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 I had 2 SA-8s in a simple ported enclosure, and they sounded good and got pretty low. I think they'd need a little more power than that crunch amp though. Current setup in my 96 Hoe Hu - Pioneer DEH-80prs. Amps - (4) Crossfire C5 1700D's, MTX Thunder 5604(mids), PPI Art 300.2 (tweets) Batts - 4 91ah rear batts, 50ah batt up front. Subs - 2 Crossfire XSv2 18's Alt - Singer 330A Front stage - Random JL & Eclipse mids, Eclipse tweets
hdorre Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 I had 2 SA-8s in a simple ported enclosure, and they sounded good and got pretty low. I think they'd need a little more power than that crunch amp though. I ran my pair of SA8v1.5s on a Rockford T1500-1bdCP. They took it for like a year and a half all day every day, until I sold the setup. They sure take power. Do they need the power though? Ehh.. But OP, if I were you.. Id keep the BTL and treat her right (bigger/better amp) with electrical upgrades obviously. Good luck with whatever route you go with.
