IAK needs an "IHOP"

[mccleery3 166]

BTW Soapbox- you said the actual cutout diamater is 7 7/16" ?

[Soapbox 7]

Oh and I have the following available I could just use now.

All old school 92 and prior

MEI 200 (fully regulated does 100 per at 2 ohm)

Cadence (fully regulated does 100 per at 2 ohm)

The Crunch 200 (1 ohm stable and I've ran it at .5 for ever)

US amps HC 50 unregulated cheater amp stable to .5

[mccleery3 166]

20lbs for an 8" sub!!

[Soapbox 7]

Yes 7 and 7/16 is a snug fit. any bigger and you won't have enough meat for the screws and any smaller it won't drop in

Right on for the true measurment bro. I want to do a double baffle with the subs recessed for all 4 using the gaskets still.

[Soapbox 7]

ME too! I want to do a double baffle with the subs recessed for all 4 using the gaskets still. Even if you recess 3/4" the subs will still be exposed. I'll get the outside measurement with the gasket on and sub screwed in tomorrow.

Even though I made 3 boxes I'm not happy yet. The 3 cubes for 3 is big in my opinion. I'm going to figure out one that is .7 for each sub. But I'm probably spinning my wheels because I haven't heard any of them in the car yet. Nor on full power. But on half power 200 I can hear the bass at the mail box 8 houses down.

What didn't you like about the bigger box if you don't mind me asking?...boomy, sloppy, muddy? My design right now puts them in a larger box at 1.25 tuned to 33hz and I'm a little worried but obviously it isn't build yet.

[rattleboxIAK 1]

well i just smoked the back porch with my car backing up.... to dark to see sh*t and cant find a flash light ....

[Soapbox 7]

My main concern is power handling I got all d2's so I have the option of running .5 ohm. From reading all of Jacobs post on the various forums he narrows down his range to .7 as being optimum. I don't see the 8s getting muddy, boomy or even sloppy. It's not like there is enough mass to keep the suspension moving or a week motor to cause those types of problems. I don't see any issues with your design.

[mccleery3 166]

Damn son!

[mccleery3 166]

Schweet! I'm running the SAZ-1500D @ 1ohm so around 450rms or maybe a little more to each sub. I want it to really smash the lows so people can see what an 8 can do

[rattleboxIAK 1]

ok just the tail light cracked thank god ....

[Soapbox 7]
