EJ E. Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I am trying to decide on what set up I am going with. Tax returns are coming in and got the go ahead from the wife to build a system lol. I have been out of the car audio loop for some years now so looking forward to the buid. Have pretty much decided on two models, 4 sa 8's or 1 z12. Thought I would as here to get some info on some of you more experienced guys to help me narrow it down. Kind of want it all, clean bass, high output, low bass. I was also planning on going with a single sundown sae/scv 2000D...enough amp? Thanks in advance for the input.

What's the dimensions of your space? If you can fit four 8"s you can probably fit two 12"s. Two SA-12s would be great on 2,000 watts. There is no good reason to use 8" subs when larger subs will fit.

Must have calculated wrong when trying to figure ported set up, looks like 4 8's and 2 12's have the same requirements. My space available pretty much equates to 4 cu.ft.. Space available is 41"W x 21"H x 10"D. So yeah, 12's might be the way to go if I go with sa's. It's a family car as well so there will be a stroller back there and the 10"D is giving some room for excursion and any safety bars for the sub(s). If I was able to put that to 12"D anyone way i could fit a single top firing Zv5 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To fit that you are going to need a box at least 13.5" tall, and then surround of the sub is going to stick up another 1", at least, above that. Keep in mind that the output from two SA-12s is going to stomp all over one Zv5-12.

Ok, the reason I asked is because if its a trunk car, you don't want to fire the subs up anyway. Its just a recipe for trunk rattle.
