[QUOTE="blue*thunder, post: 8827897, member: 687956"] Out of more curiosity and having the extra wood. Figured I'd hear what these subs are really capable of, vs making a tube and wondering. I found plans for a slot ported, 53hz box, specifically for the svr 8. Couple hours later, built and installed, in my car, using rockford fosgate amp rated 300w rms at 4 ohm. Dvc sub wired for 4 ohm load. It's definitely peaky. My only experience with ported boxes, were loaded kicker 10" boxes, designed for behind seat reg cab truck. 30 yrs ago. They were not peaky that I recall. This svr 8 under normal music. Fills the lows as it should, nothing dramatic, or noticable. But play bass specific music or something like post malone. Wow or congratulations, it became a different animal. Incredible bass. Audibly, the single ported 8. 300w, seemed equally as loud or louder, than 2 of the same two 8s in sealed box, getting 800w. Not sure how the ohm load played a role. Single sub was 300w at 4 ohm. Where the 2 were getting 800w at 2 ohm. But the subs were wired for the appropriate load and the amps rated for that specific load. Both amps being well known and tested as having legit watt rating. Not inflated garbage. Interesting stuff. Glad I experimented. Appreciate the responses given. [/QUOTE]
