(2) SA-8s ported, work in progress 02 Toyota Tacoma Xtended Cab

[30Hertz 10+ year member]

Alright, I know I recently put back in my 15" Brahma, but I wanted to try a dual 8 set up. Might go triple 8 but trying two for now to see how it'll sound.

(2) SA-8s

1.2^ft net after displacements at 25hz with 20 sq inch of port area (trying port pointing to the rear)

Got way more power than I need for two of them off a Orion 2500d

Onto the build thus far. Doesn't look like much yet, but we'll see...taking my time in between work.

Just for shits N giggles I'm going to paint the interior white and putting in a plexi window to see the motors. Also have my trim panel rings cut for the top, going to put a layer of glass to flush the subs and will be finished in Vinyl.

There's a separate internal wall that I had to put in so I could get the proper ^ft otherwise it would have been to large for only two of the 8's.

I should be doing more soon.

Thats going to sound good but give you some good low end as well.

Looks promising. The SA-8's are nasty "not so little" little subs

Should get some more progess pics today, hopefully my plexi comes in so I can put the top on and start my glassing

having played around with a lot of these subs that tuning is a bit too low. i did a design for them at 28hz and couldnt get much of anything out of them past 50.

but still in for the results.

Well if worse comes to worse, I can always shorten the port I suppose

My progress today thus far:

Painted inside of the box, routed out the plexi window, created lip to inset plexi panel for mounting (not finished), drilled hole for wire...mock up

Next up, round over the speaker flush rings, work on 1/2" MDF beauty panel for top, paint the top panel where speakers are

back to work

nice work, let me know how they do with low tuning. I've got mine tuned to 37hz and it plays down to 30hz strongly.

And I'm done for today

GREAT work. I would like to do something like this with plexiglass for my trunk install, but my subs and port will be firing back. It would be pretty much pointless unless I were to fire my sub into the rear deck where my factory 10 was. 2 questions. Which router bit did you use on the top baffle? It's a 45 something I know, but forgot the name of it. Also, Those rings you made, is it 3/4" MDF stacked on top of 1/2"?

1) I just used a 45 degree 1/4" shank bit, cheap *** one from Orchard does the trick

2) The flush rings are 3/4" MDF, they are just added on top of the original 3/4" baffle, the beauty panel is 1/2" MDF.

I'll fiberglass the inner portion of the top panel where the flush rings are when I get the plexi window in, its en-route so we'll see. I've got some Di-Noc white carbon fiber to go on the top glassed portion, the rest will be grey vinyl to match my interior.

Thanks for the comments, been taking my time on this one. Hopefully it'll sound good...who knows tho since they're recommended to be tuned to 30hz lol.

I might either 45 or round over the outside of the rings...ive got some MDF left over if anyone needs some rings cut

Re-tuned the port to to 30 Hertz. Decided I had it to low.

Waiting for my pexi to get here so I can get this **** thing finished..my Di-Noc is here along with my vinyl.
