[QUOTE="slater, post: 8912541, member: 691295"] I totally agree.... Im not going to wing it & just grab the first box that I think looks cool if the specs/ air space dont make sense... Yes, im somewhat clueless but I get the basics... The big 8's I glanced lets say a sundown sa classic only calls for .65 cf ported. So I definitely get this box is too large.... Then again, the guys who build this specific box puts large 8" DB Drive subs in the box all day long.... Extensive / huge shop in Texas & pumping out nice systems... As I stated theres multiple reputable builders that can reasonably build a box specific to my specific subs.... Also reached out to a few, def within budget, it is what it is... I was just digging to see if a prefab checks all the boxes.... Even if its a prefab, if its built well & the correct dimensions / correct air space / specs per the woofers requirements, correct port tuned frequency / hz, 3/4" material, is it truly still "just a prefab" in your mind??????? Gathering info at this point as im getting all sorts of mixed info, & truly have no idea what I want from the feedback im getting.... Asking guys here that know more than me how they would paint this canvas.... Respectfully, You state front firing would produce the best sq.... But have also heard from almost a handful well respected individuals on this board behind the scenes that they would go with larger subs & go with either down or up firing...... & avoid the 8's all together.... 8's are intriguing solely cuz I wanted to try the CT Sound subs, not a budget thing but if I ca get by with a cheap sub that crushes it, why not.... But this is far from an SPL build, not at all actually. I [/QUOTE]
