12 or 8s?

[Bobby322 10+ year member]

Thinking about going from my dd9512G to 4 E8s with a pretty bad ass truck box design. The DD is in 3 cubes @ 35hz and the E8s will be in about 3.5 cubes @ 32hz. The DD is on an AQ2200 @ 1 ohm and the e8s will be on 1 ohm as well.

Which will probally be louder for a daily driver? Not looking to put up number on the TL. I know the 8s have much more cone area. Isnt 4 8s about the same amount of cone area as a 15''?

If you can go soundless for a few then wait till the SA-8"s come out. Do it right the first time. = )

To quote Jacob:

"My ETA for these is mid to late February or so next year (2010). There are NO refunds on pre-orders whatsoever -- so please make sure you can afford to be without this money until they arrive before ordering.

TO ORDER PAYPAL ME AT sundownz@sundownaudio.com AND SPECIFY HOW MANY and D2 or D4 coils !!!

If you order before the end of November the price will be as follows :

1x SA-8 = $109

2x SA-8 = $99 each

4x or more SA-8 = $90 each

Shipped in continental 48 states cost.

If you order after November until the pre-order is over the price will be as follows :

you could do E8's for the time being, then when the SA-8's come out, you can use the same box

They are SA-8's, not E8's. And they are 100 times better.

Thats a good idea. he'll just have to make sure he gets ready for the extra depth.
