Help with Decision - 8's

Recommended Posts

Little run down, in the last 5-6 years it was

1 JL 8w3v whatever

1 JL 8w7

2 eD 10o's

1 12-claw magnum

1 12 type R (just to try and torture)

1 12 ascendant av

1 12 Mag

1 Q12

1 Q15

I know I'm forgetting a few that I've owned, installed and sold

But it seems I've come full circle, back to 8(s)

I'm looking at either 2-sealed rl-i8 or 1 ported

The vehicle is a 2002 ford F-150 super crew and I want my seats back in it and I know I can stick 8's under the seat.

The AMP is an older model Memphis Belle, that will deliver 1100@1ohm or 600@2ohm or 400@4ohm.

So the question is, is SS the way to go and is it 1 ported or 2 sealed for me? I'm not sure exactly how much room is under my seat or how much I can squeeze by raising my seats a little and using glass as a bottom. Guessing I would say I could squeeze maybe 1.5 cubes gross.

the problem with porting just one is that the box is so small that the port ends up being huge (like much larger than the usable airspce)

but it can be made to work

In the same volume as my single ported rli8 you could actually fit 6 sealed. Since you have a Belle, I'd go with a pair sealed.

however, the rl-i 8 is a monster, not sure if it'll even fit under your seat. not without some work.
