Sundown SA-8 Prototype Factory Picture

[sundownz 197]

When I actually put the pre-order up I will provide an ETA -- and it is just that, ESTIMATED... I will make that clear again in the pre-sale post. They can be early and they can be late.

How tall are these?

Thinking maybe use 2 per door as my mids..................

They are DEEP... like I said, I will measure exactly to be sure I am 100% accurate when it arrives.

Damnit, those are awesome prices. I wished I didn't just buy a 10" iXL for the girlfriend. She would have loved these.

any more news on these??

[sundownz 197]

My prototype was delayed until some time after the 8th.

[draggnwagon 2]

wonder how 6 of those would do in the mazda.

[Estsound 7]

or in my crx still havent decided on new subs been looking at 15's and 8's

[2000LaDe 1]

Hmmm...

yum

[smullen 1]

wtf? that is an 8inch sub? wow nice!! so what kind a RMS can it handle and box recommendations!! lol wow

400 RMS

I suggest small ported... it's not as good sealed as the E8 was, but better ported.

0.4-0.6 ported tuned to 30-40 Hz will be sick.

Holy crap that thing looks sick for an 8... Its a Beast!!!

I'd almost pick one up one for a coffie table conversation piece...

Wow...

I suck at dealing with ports.. I could not even see how to do this...

According to the port calc on the 12 volt page,

With a Port Diameter 4", Box Volume of .70 cubic feet, Tunning Freq 30 Hz

= Port Length of 50.829

It will be hard to fit the port in the box for any less than two of these.

[CrazyKenKid 64]

4inch port..isn't that a little big? maybe step down to a 2inch port? or maybe 2 -2inch ports

[jcardin 2]

A 2" port is going to be too small of a size for the air this thing is going to move. I've had single crappy 8's over work a 2" precision port. Doubleing the number of ports basically doubles the length that the ports need to be. ie, (1) 2" port is 4 inches, 2 2" ports are 10 inches each. A single 3" precision port may do the trick, that has more cross section than a 2 2"s and the length is the same as what 2 2"'s would need to be. Without knowing the final specs, it's going to be hard to figure out what cross section of a port is going to be enough.

[CrazyKenKid 64]

ya good point there! jcardin

[350zspl 0]

I will install 6 each in my 350z

as soon as they are available

[w00tah 5]

When can we expect a test of one in car? I'd love to see what it's capable of ported, since the Mustang needs something in it.
