How many 8" drivers needed?


Recommended Posts

Posted

K I've got one re xxx 12 on 2000 watts ported it gets relatively loud and I'm thinking bout adding 2 8" drivers to bring out the mid bass ... How many would compete with one 12 and how much power should I look to throw at them? It's in a 05 corolla and ima b making kick panels for them... Lol ima try at least

There's no real answer to your question bro. I would think a single set on 150 rms or so for the pair would keep up just fine, but all depends what u r looking to do. Start with a pair on low to mid power, if it's not enough than get something different. It's all trial and error in this hobby man. Just gotta be willing to have some trials.

Vehicle: 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD WT

Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-

Mids/Highs: Focal Integration ISC 165’s (front) 

Subs/Amps: TBD

Where are you thinking of putting the 8" drivers? I hope up front. And i would say 100-150 watts would be plenty depending on wattage of mids & highs and how bassy you like it.

8s upfront will have no issue keeping up with what you have! i know that for a fact! (placement is key) did a install a few weeks ago almost identical to What you have. cut bigger holes and add some deadner to those doors.

as far as time alignment i wouldn't worry to much.

if i were you id run a 4 channel channel one and two on the highs and 3&4 on your mids. run rear stage off deck power... waste of time unless your over 3k to run a amp to them.

cross your mids at 60hz and on 100w (less or more) a pop.. you'll be fine!btw look at the pvr mids for the price they are hard to touch.

Out of curiosity ... How does a person go about time aligning the sound stage in a veicle? Is it done with prossers or a specific device

Either a processor like a Rockford 360.3 or some decks have processors built in like the pioneer 80prs. Not all processors do time alignment and usually only the highest model of a brands decks will have time alignment. You gotta check the specs for it.
