All-Or-Nothing Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 This is my first post but I have lurked a long time. I recently was given an E8V3D2 as a gift from my wife. She knew I was looking at these and she surprised me with one out of the blue. I was looking at a Mobile Sound Works 8" ported box but didn't know if it will work well with this sub. Here is the box....http://www.ebay.com/itm/CUSTOM-SLOT-PORTED-MDF-ENCLOSURE-BOX-for-8-CAR-SUBWOOFER-0-75-ft-3-TUNED-34Hz-/200878352806?pt=US_Speaker_Sub_Enclosures&hash=item2ec54869a6&vxp=mtr and the specs.... Single 8" custom slot-ported enclosure Compatible with most 8" round woofers 0.75 ft^3 slot-port tuned @ 34Hz Solid 3/4" MDF construction Durable dark gray carpet Gold-plated binding post terminals Box volume: 0.75 cubic feet Tuned to: 34Hz Woofer cutout diameter: 7" round (oversized subs may require slight mod) Dimensions (W x H x D): 24" x 9" x 13" The dimensions are perfect as it will fit underneath the shelf when I lower the top. I have 35"x35"x10" to work with and the box will fit nicely. Will this box work well with this sub and should I point the port forward or towards the rear of the car. Also any suggestions on RMS watts to run to the sub and Amp suggestions would appreciated as well. Thanks in advance..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soBASED Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Someone on youtube did a dual e8v3 6th order.. id say go for it haha. I ran my e8v3 in a t-line tuned to 32hz that I messed up (the line ended up being tappered, no expierence on tappered t lines and this was my first tline) and it sounded awesome. Great freq response, and got down low, loud ans clean. It was on a soundstream tx1300.1d @ 4ohms, says "550" rms. Probably around 450-500 plus rise so go figure.If in a regular ported box id say run 400-500 rms on it. Theyll take it no problem as long as you know what your doing. Id say go for the 6th for the hell of it.

I was planning on running 600rms to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soBASED Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Audio technix 400.1 would do the trick or the CT 500.1 Great amps for the money!

All-Or-Nothing Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I ordered a Precision Power i450.1 Amp. Gonna run 450 watts to the sub @ 2 ohms. Should beat pretty nice i think plus I here they are pretty good amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
