    Built this for a Atomic AP/SPL. Sub is getting built with FI parts. Sub parts should be here tuesday and box is ready. This is going to be powered with an audiopipe 1500d and is going in a 2010 honda accord sedan. About 3.3 cubes tuned to 35hz with a single 6" aeroport. I'll be adding some polyfill to see how much better it would sound for the owner. Maybe about 3 lbs worth.

    First off, to those who have helped me with my mid bass thread. I'm still planning/ listening as time allows. Thank you, to those that have offered help , you know who you are, it's greatly appreciated and I should have some updates soon. O.K., I figured I'd better get off my ass now that i have some time and get the subwoofer box on its way. This is an enclosure for 4 sa-8's, 3.6 c.f. (net) tuned to 33 hertz with 52.875" of port. It will be driven by a sundown saz-2000d @ 1 ohm. This is going in my 2000 ranger extended cab pickup. Everybody has seen enclosures with kerfed ports, but not like this one I'd bet. I was originally going to do a double kerfed port, but in the…

    Words cannot explain the satisfaction of having a box that is built exactly to a sub's liking! lol I hate that we didn't just do this first! lol My teammate Anthony threw this together for me with what used to be the 3rd row wall box. All birch.....S port ....double baffled box....4.5 net tuned to 28hz! This thing is sex!!!!!

    Well, since Fraze(CNC) disappeared with my door panels, 6.5, tweeter, and crossover. Decided to get started myself. Started off slacking on the pics (was anxious and in a hurry lol) I was outta town with work, and showed my dad what I wanted done before I left. He started with this Good thing I made it home before he did any fiberglassing. Now looks like this.

    Well haven't posted up here in a while so i thought id post up what I'm doing lately. I already have 2 SA-8's on the way and I'm going to pair it up with a SAE 1000d amp or an SAZ 1000d amp (not really sure what to get at the moment). I will be wiring both of them down to 1 ohm. It's all going in a 1992 toyota pickup extended cab. Here are the specs of the box I'm designing at 32 hrtz. In the 3D photos the length should be 40" not 36". Any comments, help, or info would be appreciated. Thanks-Blake
