Daddy_ Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Let me start by saying I'm going to putting this in a Acura RDX SUV and gonna run 500rms. I'm looking for more sound quality than output. I want a nice sq ported box for a single SA8v3. I'm want less peaky but a nice smoother response. I'm not experert but I'm guessing around .60 to .75 net ft3 tuned around 33hertz? Could someone come up with a box for 20wide 10 high 10 deep. Also as I said before I'm looking for nice sound quality. Would I be better off going with a sundown 8" SD4 sealed or even a JL 8w3v3?

Joe X Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 If you want output but you don't want to be peaky you go with a higher diameter sub and do sealed, box would still be 1 cubic feet or less, just a little taller, you can use your own 12W7 in a 1.375 cubic feet net box or pick a 12" that works in a smaller box. The SA8 will still be peaky in a 0.6 net box and will give very little output in sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy_ Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I don't have that set up anymore I sold everything now I'm starting fresh in a new car. So go ported on a single SA8v3. Could you give me a outline of cutout sheet. I prefer 33 Hertz If I go sealed I'll probably go with the SD4 Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy_ Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 How would this box do. Could you tweak it and make it more sound quality oriented? https://subbox.pro/en/b/dVFV5ZFeJ Or this one but prefer first one https://subbox.pro/en/b/Sp2ufH06v Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 That sub would work great sealed and that’s kinda what your talking about that you want for sound. I’ve ran SA’s in a sealed box they sound great. 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...

So these boxes seeing work for a single ported SA8? The plan is to keep one for now and then later add another 8" Could you design me a ported box for a single SA8v3 tuned to 33 Hertz. 20wide 10high 10deep. The less space you can use the better Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I ran SA 10’s in a sealed box , 3-10’s 1 box all separate chambers at probably .65 cubes each before displacement. 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...

The less space you can use the better Two 8s have similar cone area as a single 12", not much of a point on owning them unless they are used in an under seat enclosure like you see in ext cabs and such, anyways here are two enclosure, one small and one average sized, the small is kind of choked and difficult to build so I recommend the average sized one, neither can meet 10x20x10 size but close: Figures are just assembly guides. Small: Average sized: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
