    Box design for SA-8V2 in a regular cab truck

    I've got abut 27 inches or port length which puts the tuning frequency near 33hz. Just wondering if the curves in the port will be ok.

    Box design for SA-8V2 in a regular cab truck

    I have a 2001 Ram 2500 regular cab and have been trying to get some good bass out of it with the limited space I have. I was running a 10" P3 in a ported box tuned to about 34 Hz and it sounded awesome, the lows were incredible, you wouldn't believe a single 10" sub was making all that noise...

    Sundown SA-8 V2 or 10" RF P3 in a truck?

    The box looks kinda crappy but its behind the seat so who cares. I didn't wanna dig out the dremel so I did kind of a half *** job on rounding the port with a file. The port noise isn't loud so I think digging out the dremel and doing it right will be enough to clear it up.

    Sundown SA-8 V2 or 10" RF P3 in a truck?

    In case anyone is following this I built the ported box for my 10" P3 tuned to about 34 HZ using a port made of 3" PVC pipe. The box fits behind the passenger seat and lets it go all the way back and recline unlike the box I made for my SA-8. This new setup is definitely louder than the SA-8...

    Sundown SA-8 V2 or 10" RF P3 in a truck?

    Anybody have some input on this? The P3 has more cone area obviously but a less excursion as well.

    Sundown SA-8 V2 or 10" RF P3 in a truck?

    Over the weekend I built a ported box and threw my sundown 8 in the truck. I am very impressed by the sub overall, couldnt be happier with the sound but the box is a little too big and its hard to go smaller considering the port area needed. I have an older P310D4 and half a sheet of mdf left...

    Boston Acoustics GT-22 or KAC-9105D to power my sundown 8"

    I was listening to the sub pretty loud on the highway last night and decided to check the amp when I got home. It was so hot I couldn't leave my hand on it for even a second, the kenwood is definitely going in when I get the chance.

    Boston Acoustics GT-22 or KAC-9105D to power my sundown 8"

    I have a sundown audio SA-8 V2 in a box built to the specs on their website. I have the sub hooked up to an old Boston Acoustics GT-22 at 2 ohms so the sub is getting about 500 watts. The sub sounds really impressive for an 8" but I'm wondering if my 900 watt RMS Kenwood amp would be a better...

    Building a box for SA-8 V2 in regular cab ram

    It was a tight fit but I think it'll do for now. The passenger seat sits back just as far as my seat normally does so I think its alright.

    Building a box for SA-8 V2 in regular cab ram

    I built the box on the sundown website and had both the sub and port facing the drivers side, it sounded good in the drivers seat but awful on the passenger side. I pointed the sub and port upwards next and it sounds awesome in both seats. I cant believe the noise that this little 8 makes. I...

    Would it sound worse with the sub facing up? With the mounting depth and amount of excursion from this sub I would need to have the passenger seat pretty far forward if I wanted the sub facing forward.

    Building a box for SA-8 V2 in regular cab ram

    Did a little more reading and decided that a sealed box it out of the question, my biggest question now is which way should the sub face and which way should the port face? Just looking at doing a simple L port box.

    Building a box for SA-8 V2 in regular cab ram

    Hey guys, I've done a lot of reading on here but this is my first time posting. I've always had room for one or two 12's in previous cars so it wasn't hard to get good bass but in a regular cab I'm short on space already so its hard to justify more room for a subwoofer. I have a sundown audio...
