Pokey Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I wanna try out some 8's as my main sub set up. I already have one 12 that hits 143 on the TL. But I just wanna see how loud I could get maybe four-six 8's. Think it would be louder than 143db? The amp would be a Brutus 1606d. What do you think?

stratusrt01 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 All depends on the box and setup, but it's definately possible, since 6 8's has a lot more cone area than a single 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG-SEXY AUDIO Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Just remember you've just to work with your ohms there, 4 Dual 4 ohms 8" subs, you're looking around 0.5 ohms if not lower due to you RE ohms = 0.41 ohms. There's many wiring patterns you can go with. But run somewhat near what it's rated, cause I don't want you to fire a amp. 8" subs are great for the deepest of midbass, and they'll move some air, but don't think you'll be hitting high dB #'s on lower Freq.'s. Your test Freq is going to be very high. 55-60 Hz. What 8's did you have in mind.

Ray Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 not true, I have done a 150 with 6 aa 8's @ 40hz. did a 144 legal with 6 re 8's. and 4 dual 4ohm woofs is 2 ohm OR .5 ohm with your power i would go with 6 ascendant audio 8's Now it depends on what car you have to determine if this is a good set-up for you or not.

BIG-SEXY AUDIO Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ray I'm not downing anyone here, seemly meet it's hard to get a high number with 8's at lower Hz. But a 150dB run I got to give you some props on that one, really so @ 40Hz. I never wire anything in series, unless I have too.

Ray Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 ended up doing a 51 at 53hz. played 30hz great but its focus was at 40-50hz without a doubt.. rock was amazing in the car.

Pokey Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I was thinking 4 dual 2ohm 8's so I could wire them to 1ohm. With the Bxi 1606d that would be 1600watts. I didn't really have any in mind, that's why I was asking for opinions on which ones to use. I have an 02 Silverado single cab. I'm wanting to use the 8's, cause with the 12 I lost all the leg room on the passenger side. So when my wife, daughter, and I all go somewhere....my wife is all cramped in the middle and there's barely any room for the car seat. Kinda just an idea to see if I would like it better. How much would 6 AA 8's cost? How could I wire 6 subs to 1ohm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ok, nevermind about the wiring issue. I found the thread on wiring diagrams. I can wire 6 dual 4ohm subs in series/parallel to get 1.3ohms. Which is close enough for me. I don't wanna go under 1ohm with the amp and end up blowing it.
