Box and power for a AA Assassin 8

[80INCHES 5,000+ posts]

if you did a 6th order i think the slopes on the upper and lower end would be steep enough that you wouldn't need any filters (but i could be wrong)

depending on how the box is tuned..he still needs ssf filters because a 6thorder is like a ported box..when playing a few frequencies below tuning it will unload badly

80

i think thats the fastest ive ever built a box took like an hour tops. Had to do the cuts by hand on warped wood. It should work though. Good thing its only temporary. Also i accidentally put the top on with the box of screws in there. Oops

is that mdf? why is it green?

that port looks tiny! hopefully AA knows what they're doing with that design. i think they just made the port skinny so it didn't have to be as long and they could make an L-shaped port.

let us know how it sounds (i'm sure it'll be dissapointing compared to the 18", though).

the mdf is just painted green from its previous application. I just made it from scraps i had lying around. Ill tell you how it sounds 2marrow. I know ittl be dissapointing but ittl work and probably get pretty loud but going from an 18" sub that cost me 310 to an 8" sub that cost me 45 i dont expect it to be up to par with my 18

yeah the ports only 1.25 which will probably create some port noise but its not moving much air so it wont make that much of a difference

 

[PESteele 10+ year member]

i think i might change it in to a 8" BTL for shits and giggles plus i know ittl add at least 13 db

also i might do a quick drop in with my dads RL-i for a small comparison if im motivated enough which i probably wont be

also lets see the vas of the 18 is 268 compared to 7.3 on the 8. I expect it to keep up fine
