I read through the thread and couldnt find it, but what is the displacement of one of these subs? I want to try a box at 2.0 ft tuned in the mid 30s

I made a temp box for my two and just threw it on the back seat of my truck. All I can say is damn these things are awesome. I have them in 1.2 cubes slot ported at 34hz wired at 2 ohm on my 1500d and they can easily handle more. My port is 15 sq inches, is that enough for 2 or do I need more or less? Once my video is done uploading I'll post it hear.

I ordered mine as dual 2 to run 2 ohm on a saz1500 that should be good for them, or should I see if Jacob can change my order to dual 4 ohm so I can run 1 ohm? also what port length calculator are you guys using, they all give something different it seems?

Stop already

dumb question. but what and when is sbn?

Customs ain't that fast. I'm just hoping they ship sometime next week.

Any word on what the replacement will be yet?

How long after the subs arrive before they start shipping to us?

I really like the way you vented your door pod. I may have to borrow that technique for my own build.

I was wondering what I should do as far as port style and location. Right now I'm leaning towards a slot port at the moment, but not dead set on it. Would putting both of my woofers on the passenger side with the port/ports on the drivers side. be a good or bad idea? Also what port style and location would get the most out of the box and subs. I dont have much experience with box design, so any help would be appreciated. this is a rough sketch(not correct in shape or to scale but close) of what the box would look like. The whole bottom has various curves and dips, so using it as a port wall is kinda out of the question.

They sound decent, but the install take a lot away from them. I can tell they have some potential, little details in songs show up nice and clean. Once I get the amp installed Ill give a more accurate account of thier sound.

$500 shipped on ebay from salectronics

Weather has was shitty today so I was unable to get anything done on the box. But I did install my Head Unit today. I like it so far, I figured I would since I owned it in a prior vehicle. Couple pics

yea you are right. I'll run a single 1/0 to start, I doubt it will be an issue since I plan to run the 1500 at 2 ohm. If I see I need more power then Ill run some 4 ga that I have laying around to run the 50.4 oh and the big 3 is going to be done in 2/0 so that should cover the grounds pretty well.

haha yea. but that for my truck and another friends truck who will basically be doing the same install in an 08 crew cab gmc, He's on here to I think rgncjn is his screen name. all Im waiting on now is my 1500 to come in and the 8s do arrive in the US.

the man in brown has been busy lately. I got just a little done seat lift and face of box cut and fit, but Ive been sick and it slowed me down a bit.

No real progress on the box but UPS dropped off my hertz hsk165s and dash kit today. I decided that I would do a basic install since both my factory front door speakers are blown. I will definetly redo all of this once I deaden/seal the doors and install the Sundown SAX50.4. I must say I am very impressed with the sound of the hertz, I can't wait to hear them in a proper install. anyway here are some pics of the temp install. I also installed a eclipse cd 5000 that I had laying around so I could listen to mp3s until the Kenwood arrives. btw im a pic freak as you guys will soon learn.

Thanks guys, I will definetly check out that tap plastics resin. I stumbled upon there site a few days ago and it seems like a good place to buy from. Im guessing you are talking about the roller that tap plastic sells here Bubble Buster Rollers: TAP Plastics As far as resin not needing heat, I was always under the impression that the hardener must hit a certain temp before it starts working like it should. I could be wrong though. I'll continue using the my method as it is working well for me.

This is my first time attempting any real fiberglass work, but im not scared to try it. Running the truck with the heater is working awesome, my first layer is setup nice. I will probably put another couple of layers on tonight and call it quits.

Im still new to the forum, but I decided I would post a build log of my truck. The Truck: 2006 Schevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab, 5.3 2wd. As it sits the truck is stock, when things start coming in I will start the install. Hopefully I will start with the deadening and running all the wires. Almost current pic, before clearing the headlights and tinting the windows They components being used: Head Unit: Kenwood DDX 812 Mid Amp: Sundown SAX50.4 Sub Amp: Sundown SAZ1500D Subs: Sundown SA-8 (2) Mids: Hertz HSK165 Deadner: Raamat and Ensolite Progress: 2/19 Started on fiberglassing the floor of the box, its going to be hard to squeeze out the airspace I need. My goal is to have 2.0ft^3 so I think Im going to jack the seat up 1-2" and that will help. I plan have box sides front and top made of mdf with just the floor being fiberglass. I also plan on facing the 8's foward and the ports forward unless that is a bad idea, any opinions would be nice. Taped up First layer of mat Right now the truck is running with the heater on high to cure the glass and that seems to be working really well. Also this is my first time doing a project like this with fiberglass so any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

thanks man, Im ready to start the install on all this stuff, cant wait for the boat with the sa8s to get here!!

Came out good on my budget so far, I just need a midrange amp, wiring, and to glass a box. $515 for Kenwood DDX812 and dash kit and wiring $218 for the Preorder on 2 SA-8's $340 for a SAZ1500D $240 for Hertz HSK 165's

ordered my 2 cant wait for that boat to get here.

thanks, im surprised it took that long for someone to say leave out the rear fill. I have had one truck with frontstage only and i liked it at higher volumes, but most of my listening is a low to mid levels and i found it just sounds funny without rear fill. or atleast it did in my truck crew cab taco. It may be different in this truck, but ill find out soon enough.

i checked new, and they were out of 1/0 as far as I could tell. Im in New Iberia, or 15minutes south of lafayette.
