aculous Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 You could model it to figure that out. You build the box for the subs you are running usually not the other way around. But Gately's stuff is super nice so I get it. I would see what other people have run in that enclosure or maybe give them a call. I would bet they would be able to give you recommendations for using their product. I think meade demo'ed some B2s in that type of box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 That box is 2cubic feet , 2 Sundown X-8’s would be perfect, if you up your budget 2 DD SW2508 super 8. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron36 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Don’t think they sell online try to find a dealer close and ask him if he ships. DD has always been weird about that. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1point21gigawatts Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 That enclosure is too small and tuned too high for x8s. You have to factor in subwoofer displacements. Plus it doesn’t have enough port area either. It doesn’t meet any expectations for x8s. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator1873 Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Not sure, that will prob depend on what woofer I choose, rms etc for the woofer, any input is welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1point21gigawatts Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 You need to find out the subwoofer(s) and amp out before you worry about the enclosure. It’s not ideal to build a system just for a certain enclosure. Once you find the subwoofers and amp then the enclosure specs come into play. When it comes to the subwoofer, that’s what mainly defines the enclosures specs. Then the amp defines the port area and the velocity in unison, along with the tuning. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
