Posted April 18, 201213 yr 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 bracketsInitial 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.
April 18, 201213 yr Author 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).

April 19, 201213 yr Author 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.
