ModestDb Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hey guys, I've been looking at the Sundown X8 V2 for a few days now. I don't really need more subwoofers but...who can resist that beasty little monster? Every since I got my American Bass VFL 8" subs and saw people's reactions to them, I've fell in love with using predominantly 8 inch subs. I like trying them out and seeing how they all sound. I was actually about to pull the trigger on a set of PSI 8 inch subs until this Sundown sub caught my eye. This isn't a vs. thread, I'm just looking for some reviews from anyone who has ran, or does run the Sundown X8 V2 subs. I'd be running these with a VFL 2680.1D amp, a secondary XS D1200 battery and stinger isolator. They'd be in a ported box at 32hz. Can anyone tell me if these subs sound as mean as they look? What can I expect? Would the 2680.1D be enough power for them, or will they want more? I see they're rated for 750rms each and the VFL 2680.1D is supposed to provide 1300 RMS. I think that's a pretty close match, right? Any information is greatly appreciated. I'm not looking for anyone to bash all the other 8 inch subs, I just want to know specifically about the Sundown. Feel free to PM if you prefer.

Aaron Petrella Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'm no expert, but i know that when i set up the x8 in winISD no 'typical' box/port design works given the t/s parameters and rec. vol and port area. a 'labyrinth' design is nec. for these guys. 2 of them might end up eating a ot cargo cubes.

DTS909 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Just meet up with a friend of mine running a pair in a tapped horned box or something like that. Only on ampere 1000d sounded damn good for the amount of power! Your going to need a bigger amp. That American Bass VFL 2680.1D is only a 600 watt amp at best.
