memphisBred Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Dad has two in his truck. He went from two 8" Kickers in a prefab box from Auto Radio to these woofers in a ported box that we both worked on. I don't remember the exact specs for the box we used but I'm pretty sure it's tuned to 34-35 hZ. I want to say they are in 1.0-1.2 cubic feet, but not for certain. He's powering it with a Kicker ZX750.1. He loves them and won't get rid of them. He listens to classic Rock some, but mostly old hip-hop/rap.

LT.Smoke Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Ok brother its official i now have the SA-8 in my car and its the new style of SA-8's its in a T-line running at 1 ohm and getting 600 watts...I did a 141.5 at 42 hz in my Impala this morning i did not tune anything i simply swapped subs..The highest i got with my MTX 5508 in there was a 137.9 @ 45 hz...So with all due respect if you dont buy an Sa8 then you are retarded lol.. MY Sa8 weighs more than my buddies SS 12 so if they tells you anything..I have no desire to need a bigger woofer this thing hits as hard as the setup taht i used to have with 2 10's ported Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeumtires Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Was able to do a 145 in a fart box after resining the spiders. also had a LOW tuned box (29hz) with two SA-8s powered by a saz1500d hit a 142 in a tacoma.. I LOVE these 8s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Don't forget that the SA-8 is also one of the few 8s that is re-coneable so if you do get a bit crazy with it, you can get parts You can also take advantage of new soft part upgrades as they become available on re-cones!
