Yeah I followed, I was saying that if I sell it all, it will be a package. Amp, subs, etc. I've found that here, for a plug and play package, you can get reasonable money for it. If I try to sell them 2 8s in a box, they're gonna try to give me $100 and tell me its not worth any more because...

I had thought of that, but I only have the one amp to sell currently, and it is way too much for just two of them. Since it is tax money time for the next couple months, I'm sure someone will snatch it all up if I put it together. But before I get to that, I have to figure out the box to make...

Yeah I got the amp and all 5 subs out of a car I bought. Car is long gone. I ran two of the Skars in my truck for a bit and then decided to try out the f8ls instead and stuck with those. The Skars were choked out big time in the fox box in my truck. Honestly, I probably will sell them, but I’d...

To be honest I'm not sure if that is gross or net. I just know that is what it says on the Skar site for recommended box volume.*Edit* - it does say on their site that it doesn't include sub, bracing, or port displacement. So I'd assume net. So your idea, do you basically mean splitting it into...

I have 5 Skar ZVX8's in my garage that I'm looking to do something with. I know, I know, everyone hates Skar. I get it. But I already have them, so I'm looking to use them. I am looking to build 2 enclosures. I have the tools and skills, just not the knowledge or understanding of how to...

Well good and bad news. The Skars started doing the same thing today. So that means the problem is either amp or wiring. I've checked all the wiring twice, so I'm guessing the amp is failing or my radio adapter. Not sure how to pinpoint which though. I do definitely prefer the sound from the...

Honestly I don't have anything to compare the Fox box to, so I can't say one way or another how it sounds. It is okay. It doesn't satiate my need for bass, but I don't know that without going extreme like you mentioned that I could. But I drive my truck for work. A LOT. I have put on almost...

Okay....so let me ramble for a minute here. I did a not so scientific comparison. Same box, same amp settings, same songs, same location of the db meter. Tried to keep everything as consistent as possible. End result first for those who care, more details following. Skar ZVX8's - peaked at...

I've been wanting to run my little test, but haven't wanted to push them too hard for fear of tearing them up since they're brand new. I've probably got 25-30 hours of just regular music time on them so far. Nothing crazy. Think maybe this weekend I may give it a shot.

Well didn't get them on sale, but got them. Put them in yesterday. How long you think I should let them break in before giving them a good run? My intent is to kinda compare them side by side. I played a couple songs at a specific volume with the two Skars and I'm planning to do the same with...

Amp came in. Got everything installed and hooked up...@THATpurpleKUSH was right. Waste of time. I mean it works, and is better than stock, but only at levels I will rarely listen to it at. I had unrealistic expectations. I don't know if it is the subs being in too small of a box or what. Tempted...

Added 1/2" spacers on top of the spacers provided by fox and it still doesn't fit. I'm going to remove the carpet tomorrow and try again. Probably just end up going to the steel yard and getting some 2" box steel and making my own spacers. Bought longer bolts - $60 worth for these stupid oddball...

Update - fought with it all last weekend. Got the cab ripped apart, laid the butyl and foam and found out I under ordered. Oh well. I did as much as I could. That is what I get for believing the internet on sq footage. I ran my power wires under the truck along the frame in corrugated tube...

I've got multiple threads running about this "build" trying to get answers so I wanted to update this one as things go, and try and ask questions here instead of starting a bunch of threads if I don't have to.  I bought a fox acoustics dual 12" ported box that I'm going to make adapters for 8"...
