Yea flared aero ports are fine, just make sure you have enough port area. Which/what driver(s) are you using? box volume?

Digging the tabs and welded screws down, nothing beats simplicity. Really wish I could hear this when it's all done

I stopped by the second skin warehouse the other day and got 20squarefeet of the damplifier pro as well, good stuff But I think I need to get some more heh

Is the design calling for a common chamber or separated chambers?

I know I come across as being an ass, but your asking questions that are all relative to a persons idea of what sounds good or loud. It's not really going to help you. I saw you stated your vehicle type and your current enclosure size, how much room are you willing to give up for an enclosure? Are you planning on putting the box behind the center console? Under the rear seats?

Why is a ford gt40 SOOO much more then a mustang?

are you serious?? damn! what about with 1.6cuft tho? Playing the same notes does not mean it will have equal output... Both subwoofers can play the same frequency range... One has more cone area, thus more output.

Threads like these suck. As bassahaulic asked, how much airspace, volume do you have to work with in your vehicle? Installation is ultimately going to effect the end product. I've never had any experience with the sa8s, but I've owned a BL and loved it. So if the choice was mine, I'd get the 10" BL. 2 sa8s would have slightly more cone area then a single 10" bl though...

I've personally been needing to get a hold of DC Power for the last couple months. Sent them a PM and posted here on the forum and had no response for a while. Yesterday I sent them an email and Rob immediately replied, so yeah

Best I did was a 142.7 at 40hz. saz1500d at 1ohm 18" fi bl ~7.6cube enclosure tuned to 33hz. door open, mic at headrest. Edit, I see you said with music... not sure then.

SSA has a couple free enclosure designs: link If one of those don't work for your vehicle then you can get one through the ssa store. The designs are made / approved by SSA after all, so yes they would be optimal

Hey Stefan, I was the one helping at the Hooters show. Blue jeep with the Fi BL, right? My ride will not be done for some time but I might put the BTL back in for the Dec 4th show in Phx. Oh yeah I remember, Jason right? Did you get the btl in the show this weekend? I heard there was lots of cars!

^ or notecards. There's even some "professional" shims on ebay: shim link although there's nothing really to them

Well I listen to mostly rock with some rap and techno as well. What would you suggest that I do, I'm not sure which would be better for my particular application here. Your enclosure design and amp are fine. If you use your current plan and build your enclosure and don't like it, you can always build another. But I honestly doubt you won't like it

I would personally buy Fi over RE.

She said it only looked like 3 inches...

I understand DC Power is switching shops and all that jazz, but it's still no reason for not replying...

Sounds like you like to push your equipment to the limit...

Man you work fast. Fun build to follow. I'd cross over a little lower, especially if you have decent mids already.

Fit as much cone area as you can with optimal enclosure volume. Oh and lots of power

Nutz man

You clearly aren't our resident audiophile so the fi Qs aren't for you. RE? eh... Icons get loud and sound awesome doing it. BLs get loud (likely louder then icons ) and still sound good. But it's really going to come down to the install and enclosure.

Happy Birthday man! Age:

It would have to be pretty open for it to work ib, otherwise it'd sound like a leaky sealed box?

I'm not an average guy so I guess that explains it. There is more than enough average stuff being done. I like a challenge and try to be creative when I build stuff. Thanks. No ones average I'm interested in seeing how you mount and seal the mdf to the rear Should be cool in the end, Having plenty of storage but with bass
