[QUOTE="DaveVT, post: 7666332, member: 542737"] Ok so I have my SA-8's here awaiting an enclosure which will be around .66 cubes per sub after displacement tuned to around 35hz I believe. Ill be running a Xenon 1200.1 to the pair. At the moment I have the amp hooked up to the alpine in a prefab ported box that originally was made for a Boston Acoustic sub so its definitely not made to spec for the alpine. Im just wanting to know if the sundowns will get louder..... One odd thing though, the alpine is a dual 4 wired to 2 ohms but at the speaker terminals its showing 4ohm.....The amp gain is up higher than I think it should be and the bass boost is about 60% of the way up. Otherwise the sub barely makes a peep. It gets decently loud and the amp barely gets warm. I just think its a bit odd to have to turn the gain up so high AND actually use the bass boost.... Deck is an alpine with 2v preouts iirc and the sub gain on the deck is max. Any ideas why I would have to crank things so much? [/QUOTE]
