So the single SA-8 v.2 has been doing great for quite a while with the PSI PR but now that production is in and all pre-orders have shipped I decided I wanted to step it up a bit to THREE of them. Derrick came up today and put together a nice box for me for the three 8s using a single 6" aero-port about 28" long or so tuning us in the low 30s.

Box is constructed of a single layer of 3/4" Russian Birch plywood.

* Yep... that is a LONG port.

* Inside view -- just a basic box with all the giant motors hanging out.

* Sealed with a bit of silicone. As we may be tweaking some more I just ran the wires through the port for the time being.

* In the car.

* Bit close to the side wall but still works out pretty well as we are trying to get a very low peak.

* Small risers for the parcel shelf.

* Box secured into the car with three small angle brackets

Initial impressions are that it is extremely loud and has GREAT low-end extension. Pretty much everything I wanted and more.

Output is much better with the windows down due to the low tuning and it moves a good bit of air. We'll work on videos, metering, etc at a later date but for now I'll just say it sounds GREAT.

Forgot to add -- I am powering them off the rear channels of my SAX-200.4 bridged at 1.33 ohm (I don't endorse it for anyone else but so far so good).

That's cool as hell.

It's on the back seats behind the box :)

I'll work on videos and whatnot later in the week.

It's making me want to add more power :)

Peak is right around 29-31 Hz with the windows down -- sounds the best this way. So far we are at 141.5 or so on music, slowed "Juice Box," with right at 950 watts or so clamped power.

We'll get a video up later on as it's just about lunch.
