[Tyler Lee 10+ year member]

Ok I currently have a 15" dc lvl 4 XL 15" with an extra spider.. It's n my extended cab s10 and hit a 145 in the kick at scrapin the coast.. I wanna be in the 50's tho and really don't want another 15" bc I dnt want both of my seats basically all the way up so I thought about doing 6 sa 8's along the back wall ported and facing up.. My current amp is aq2200.. Lemme kno what y'all think.

Well...one thing I can tell you is your going to need more power to get up to a 150, switching sub might gain you some... but 5+ db no.

Them 8's are only rated at 400 rms tho.

Putting 3500 on a level 5 will get you a couple. Those 8s wont cut it. You need more cone area and power to get 5dbs

Your going to be burping anyway so it doesnt matter...

There are online allday where people hit high 40's or low 50's with 1 or 2.. If I dnt get these 8's in liking the hdc3's and the price

Is this for a daily set up or burps?

Those are ALL burps...and all tuned super high.

So you plan to swap boxes in and out?

For the 8's yea. The hdc3's no bc those will b tuned to 35 if I get em and they r a low end sub correct?

what is your width? I have a big ass toyota tundra and with port you won't have enough room unless you are making a 20"+ deep box... You will want more power also.. I have a 3k for 4 of them and will be wiring em to .5 will be up over 1 after rise.. will be sending em atleast 2200 will see what they like though..

They can handle more.. ATLEAST 500

the 8s will have more cone area than an 18.. but he needs more power than 2200 watts

i had a quad sa-8 setup on the same amp... they could take more. nateberrier was giving 1500 to 2 of them and they never bottomed out

I've always kinda wondered this and I think this would be a good time to ask but ASSUMING 5 8s had the same cone area as an 18. I think the 8s have a 2 inch throw and most 18s have atleast a 3" throw wouldn't the the 18 get louder GENERALLY based upon the fact the 18 has more throw therefore moving more air in the car?
