Bumpin the TWP Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 What would be better 4 SA-8's or 2 SA-15's. If i get the 8's then ill have a lot of room to work with in my small car to build a amazing box, or if i get the 15's I wont have much room at all to work but its still do able, just very hard with the space i have. I wanna buy the 15's soon if thats what i choose because their still on pre order and i can get them for a lot better price now than later.

And 4 8s would look sexy no the 15's would be louder because there is way more cone area but yes i do agree that the 8's would be sexy as hell Quote My Car Audio Setup: Sub: 1 RE Audio HC 15 Dual 2 ohm(soon to get a psi recone) Daily Sub Box: 1.62 cubes net with 2 dayton audio 8 inch passive radiators tuned to 34.35 hz, 141.9 @ 48 hz sealed on the dash with termlab Competition Sub Box: 3.10 cubic ft. net tuned to 50.58 hz with 2 6 inch aeroports, 147.9 @ 62 hz sealed on the dash with termlab Amp: Powerbass ASA 1000.1 Dx(eventually gonna get a planet audio bb2400.1) Big 3: Phoenix Gold 1/0 Gauge Amp Wire: Knukoncepts 1/0 gauge Alternator: Stock 90 amp Battery Under the hood: Autocraft Gold Top Battery Battery In Back: None for now but I am looking for one so pm me if you have one for sale HU: Pioneer DEH-2900MP Front/Rear Amp: Hifonics Txi-4408 4 channel amp Front Speakers: Orion Cobalt 6.5 coaxial Rear Deck Speakers: Orion Cobalt 6x9 coaxial Home Audio Setup: Speakers:2 Cerwin Vega D-3's (10" Woofer,5 1/4" mid-range,1" Bullet Dome Tweeter) 2 Cerwin Vega D-5's (12" Directed Audio Xtreme 124SX Subwoofer,5 1/4 mid-range,1" Bullet Dome Tweeter)Kenwood center channel and rears.

Yeah thats one of the reasons i wanted the 8's but each 15 is 600w RMS and both would have 1200w each so i'm good on the power. I already have a 15" sub that is crazy alone in my car so im interested on how 2 higher powered 15's would sound.

Chamois Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) 4 8" = 32" of cone area? 2 15" = 30" of cone area? maybe I don't understand how cone area works? I'm assuming it has to do with the radius of the cone? If that's the case, then yes the 2 15s would have more area Edited August 28, 2010 by Chamois Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im Not trying to be a dick, maybe I don't understand how cone area works? radius times the radius x 3.14 gives you the cone area Two 15" = 353.43 Four 8" = 201.06 Edited August 28, 2010 by memphisbasshead Quote My Car Audio Setup: Sub: 1 RE Audio HC 15 Dual 2 ohm(soon to get a psi recone) Daily Sub Box: 1.62 cubes net with 2 dayton audio 8 inch passive radiators tuned to 34.35 hz, 141.9 @ 48 hz sealed on the dash with termlab Competition Sub Box: 3.10 cubic ft. net tuned to 50.58 hz with 2 6 inch aeroports, 147.9 @ 62 hz sealed on the dash with termlab Amp: Powerbass ASA 1000.1 Dx(eventually gonna get a planet audio bb2400.1) Big 3: Phoenix Gold 1/0 Gauge Amp Wire: Knukoncepts 1/0 gauge Alternator: Stock 90 amp Battery Under the hood: Autocraft Gold Top Battery Battery In Back: None for now but I am looking for one so pm me if you have one for sale HU: Pioneer DEH-2900MP Front/Rear Amp: Hifonics Txi-4408 4 channel amp Front Speakers: Orion Cobalt 6.5 coaxial Rear Deck Speakers: Orion Cobalt 6x9 coaxial Home Audio Setup: Speakers:2 Cerwin Vega D-3's (10" Woofer,5 1/4" mid-range,1" Bullet Dome Tweeter) 2 Cerwin Vega D-5's (12" Directed Audio Xtreme 124SX Subwoofer,5 1/4 mid-range,1" Bullet Dome Tweeter)Kenwood center channel and rears.

Chamois Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 You shouldn't design it that way, unless their far apart, you might get cancellation from the cones being so close Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
