What would you compare the output to 1 12, 2 12's, 1 15 (all on same power ~1500 rms)? I know this is install dependent but just curious as too a rough estimate what 4 SA-8's on 1500 rms would be comparable to in output. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Four SA-8s in my Jeep on a 2500D was doing 145s on music at 35 Hz in a rigged up box -- so there is good potential !

Thanks for the response Jacob. Was considering doing 3K to the 4 but thought it might be overkill and maybe I could get what I was lookin for with just the 1500. I think I will plan for the 1500 and if needed I can always upgrade later. Thanks.

i run three in a sealed box d2 subs wired to 1.33 running off a sae1200 hits pretty hard -- i cant really compare my first system

Cool, thanks for the reply. Got any vids?

Chicagofan posted up some scores with 4

Steve Mead ran 4 off a 3500

I've ran several configurations and am working on a crx box for 3 currently.

I hit 137.5 on the thermlab @ 55 in my Honda Fit with 1 SA - 8 SAZ 1500 @ 1 ohm

I found the magic db formula for my car and the sa 8 hopefully I can get 2-3 db each with the addition of 2 more.

Same car with a 15" Cascade omega @ 1ohm = 144

Install dependent for sure. I've fabricated ed up some crappy designs too.

3 in a 1.8 with 2 aeros= 134.5

2 in a t-line = 135

1 in a .8 = 137 aero

2 in a kerf port 2.4= 135

From my testing I have found out .8 works best for me; with the 1500.

I wouldn't have any reservations on trying 3500.

My Next Install will be 5 SA-8's off a 3000D

Thanks guys. I'm lookin to do 4 in 2.4^3 net tuned @ 32Hz subs up port back in the trunk of my 03 Mazda Protege. Port will be kerfed and be along the bottom of the box. Like this, but obviously much smaller:

Lookin like it's going to be a new Audiopipe AQX2500.1 for power. Not bad for $330 shipped brand new.
