Posted May 2, 201114 yr Sorry i am just so excited like a kid on christmas, they were waiting for me on my door when i got home from the gym, mannnnn these things are soo beefy, i own some DD 1008's and thought nothing else could touch them until i opened these up, they are built like a brick shithouse! my wife couldnt even pick 1 of them up, i cant wait to break them in and then cause some chaos, btw im going with a sundown 1200D, but still need someone to build me a box im horrible with that stuff
May 2, 201114 yr Rofl. I love how you say your wife can't even pick one up lol.May I suggest Argent Audio for an enclosure, Andrew does great work, affordable, and he's in California too so shipping may not be as much.
May 2, 201114 yr woo! glad you like them. Gotta' post some pictures though. Check out Andrew at Argent audio for a box.
May 2, 201114 yr Author I bought 2, i got kind of worried when they were selling out so quick, so i bought them right away, how do you guys suggest breaking them in, im kind of a noob, my thought was to wire them in parallel (2) dvc 4's to 8 ohms each then wire in series to a 4 ohm mono load giving them 400 rms from the 1200d just to loosen up the cone and spiders etc, then after 2 weeks wire them to 1 ohms mono to get 1200 rms, what are your ideas, btw i wonder where in CA this argent audio is, i would love a cstom box built specifically for these beast but for now just a universale size, because im gonna sell my chrysler 300 and try and get a newe Audi a4 1.8t, then build a custom box once that car is mine, was thinking of building thema box for the audi where the vents would be lined up with the rear seat arm rest as a "blow through" thatd be sick,any ideas or suggestions are welcome,BTW when i figure out how to do pic uploads ill take some SA-8 vs. DD 1008 pics

They'll eventually soften a little, and possibly play a little lower / louder, but there is no need for breaking in like an engine...
May 3, 201114 yr Author what are you gonna do with those DD's nowIm selling 1 of them to my friend, but my other one is brand new, never used, if anyone wants to buy it lemme know its a DD 1000 series 8" svc 4, make me an offer
May 3, 201114 yr Wire to 1 ohm, set your gain, and let er rip!!Can understand your excitment. When I got mine I was impressed by their size as well. Wait till you hear them!!
