Skar audio VVX15 8cft box buildness

I run a pair of Skar 15"s in 8.25 cubes and I was told it was on the big side... Is there physically enough room on the baffle to mount a second one?

Once I actually get the vvx from Kevin I'll measure a second 15 and make sure before hand if not I'll experiment a little.

Also I wouldn't out more than 600w to that subwoofer in 8ft^3 I think people on the forums are assuming you'll do almost twice that as SKARS are known to take 1k+. Even with the smallest box possible for that subwoofer I wouldn't put more than 800w to it daily lol. I like SKAR's but they're no SA.

Yes, it isn't really a smart thing to take woofers and go over their RMS rating when using boxes this big. That's the great thing about large enclosures, though. They get stupid loud, have a huge response window, and do it on less power than recommended boxes that are usually in the 3-4 cu. range.

Since its being built in my trunk, any recommendatiobs on gluing/caulking the lid on? And something heavy enough to apply decent pressure.

Updated post#1 with photo of the box in the car without the lid, has 3 1/4 of a circle of sonotube in the 3 corners.

Even though its only a 1500.1 but I should be ordering my Dual +/- inputs from Toolmaker in the next week, and ordered (regardless of it being half CCA/OFC) 2 Cadence 1/0 amp kits. I have 1 more thing planned nothing fancy but it will be mounted to the box, can't say if I'm getting it or not still talking to Toolmaker about it.

Interested in hearing this lol

seriously though, whats the explanation for 9 cubes on a single 15?

also ordered my VVX15 once they come in stock monday I'll get it asap and get this shiztnat banging.

Edit: and no the fuse boxes are not JUST ziptied, thats just to keep the cover more secure, its screwed and likely locktighted to the fuse box cover.
