I hope so, 2 8's with a 1200 watt amp and my 0 gauge is all that's left i make my batt box and got my new alt. in today plus did a little carpet on some exposed metal in the hatch area.

Still not complete it is missing the subs and my amp for them but all you will see is the amp and the front of the subs. and you may not even see the amp depending on how it looks when get it this weekend. And thanks for all the feed back

All my carpet is now done. Just have to cut out for my subs mount my amps one on the top of the box the other on the side panel and run my 0 gauge to my batt.

So i did just a little bit more tonight. Starting putting on some of the carpet and ran out of glue.(oh don't use the crap i got) So here's some of the panels out side the car. The box before its covered. The box after all the panels and stuff The top still need carpet. Almost done just have to get the subs and amp + wiring and the batt.

Thanks! Does any one know where i can get a sundown decal about 25-30 in's wide i want to do a trace and cut a card board lay out for under my carpet to give a stand out.

It all got jacked when i owned my shop back in Nc. lucky for me i was a dd and massive audio dealer and all the gear i had was given to me for shows.

Ya its my 89 grand wagoneer. Getting a nice system in it after i finish with this one.

So i got a little more work done tonight. The box is built and and sealed up. The front face plate painted with blue sound dampening going to get carpeted later. (Any one know a good place to buy carpet) Just sitting in the back of the car with the top plate/amp rack on. I also made side trim parts but did not have time to take pics of them had to liquid nails them up a little. Now just have to wait for my subs and amp to get ordered next Fri. and get them cut into the car.

This is the after math from when my 2 dd 1500 8's were stolen and my massive audio 3000.1 and where i am going to stick the new sundown audio sa-8's. My massive audio amp on my components. And the back of my jeep audio system to come. Something big and loud not too sure yet.

So i started on my box today not too big. Its 30"w X 12"h X 13"d it comes out too 1.47 cubic feet with the port. Its a 2.5"w X 10.5"h X 37.75" of port length tuned to right around 35hz. (pics of the box parts just sitting together no glue or screw's yet) (view's down the port) (and my hand sanded edge for the inside of the port) There will be corner's made just have not gotten to that yet.

So i just started my build this weekend(tue-wed)for me. The build is simple, not to much to it. 2 Sundown Audio SA-8's Dual 4 ohm 1 hifonics brutus 1200.1 1 xs power d1200 batt. That's all the new stuff i am getting. I already have 1 d1200 under the hood and a 300amp custom built alt. This is going to go with my 2 sets of massive audio rk6 component's and my massive audio 4 channel with a pioneer touch screen dvd3100.

Ya i would have given it more time but tue wed are my weekends and i have to get the box built. But its ok i can still go back and build the other one and just have 2 diff box's no big deal. Almost done building the standard ported box now, took less then a full sheet of mdf so its going to have a double face for extra support and the rest of the mdf will make a nice amp rack. The way this box is going i can't wait to start on the one in my jeep. Just have to wait on the funds and maybe find a few sponsors. 1989 jeep grand wagoneer with the back seat taken out gives me a 40in wide by 6 feet deep to play with and a height of 35in. Was looking at doing 4 Fi btl n2 15's in a wall. But don't know just yet.

Using a slot port not round port the port is 2.5in wide by 10.5in tall and 36.75 in long total. It will do just fine same box i used for 2 dd1500 8's

kk so not much help here oh well then just going with a plain box thats 30in wide by 12in high by 13in deep came out to 1.47 cube with a 34.9hz tune on a 2.5in port with a 36.75 in port length.

All i am really looking for is the formula to figure out the volume of the box, and port tuning for a 6th order. I have looked all over the place online and no sign of any thing.

Well to tell you the truth i am tired of the same old box every time i have a system i want something new. And the box it's self like that matches the bottom of my cars hatch just right so i can still use the top as a floor for my work stuff and such.

So guys i am new to sundown audio. A friend told me about the SA-8 so i thought i would give them a try. I just ordered 2 dual 4 ohm for a 1 ohm load on my hifonics brutus 1200.1. But any ways long story short i had a cool box design i wanted to try but not to sure on how to calc. the box volume and needed port length for a 35hz tune. So i put together a little paint shop quick drawing to get some input. Plz no bad comments about the drawing i know its crap but its just an idea of what i am looking for.

Thanks guys. Not to sure about the AZ thing a little hot for my taste but oh well. After i get my 2 systems set up i am going to have to get together with some of you az guys.

Just wanted to drop a line in and say hey. New member from mohave valley az.
