Switching From 8's to 10's

Do you think that’s enough airspace for those 10’s? Website recommends 1.5-1.75 per sub but as discussed, not sure how accurate their specs are.

1.1 cubes is tight. I looked at the SA10's and they only call for one cube ported per sub. My box builder says that the 10's will work in the box that I already have. 1,200 ounces of motor force and a 5K amp seem like a lot for a ¾" MDF box. The subs alone weigh 185 pounds.

I selected around all 4 subs, copied, then pasted back into the picture then moved them up, distorted the angle slightly, erased some stuff and BAM!!

What app or program?

Photoshop CS3. It's old but good.

I guess you could try it and then build a new box if you’re not satisfied. I like the SA idea since they require a smaller box.

the motor weight on the HD’s isn’t the ferrite weight but is the total weight of the ferrites along with the bottom and top plates. The suspension on those subs is on the stiff side and they will need some airspace or the low end and output is gonna be absolutely terrible.

New box... maybe 6" taller?

I was going ask if he could go taller above the window line

Interesting. Can you separate the two sets of 4 further to each side to make a gap in the middle?

Maybe. I will post it tomorrow if I can. I am getting sleepy..... Wow... I'm quoting myself. Anyway here is the pic I promised myself lol

There is two versions of the SA10. One is 750 rms and one is 900 rms. I was really thinking of just running 4 of these on a 5K. I like my VFL 8's a lot. Why wouldn't I just go with the 10's?

It's more airspace than anything else. You would want at least 6 cubes net for 8 - 8's. 4.4 cubes for 4 - 10's is tight but feasible.

That would most deff damage a windshield. Even the 4 extra 8s would get down on some power

Isn't there a rule about competing above the window line?

Nope. I want to have a loud standard cab. It freaks people out. They make me open my tonneau cover because they don't believe it. 150+ @ 35 hz. or less is my goal.

4.4 cubes isn't enough for 8- 8's IMO.
