Can 8’s get loud?

another problem with 8's is port area. some of these 8 need like18-20 in^2 per cube and your port can easily be 40 inches long.

That takes up a ton of box space. Like the sa-8's back years ago; even though programs said I wouldn't get noise, customer were saying they were getting a little at 16 in^2 per cube with square ports. That's wild to me. Only time that happens with larger woofer is when they are like 3000w+ plus woofers.

That's not how effective communication works, but it explains why you spend so much time on the internet.

I haven't been on the internet in almost two days bro.

Be like "yeah, I'm going to put all of these in a geo metro."

Funny you say that. My build from 2010. 8-sa8's on atomic 7k in a metro. 151@28hz

Funny I remember watching those videos way back then too. I had two SA8s at the time.

Lost my hatch at that show. Busted the welds on the 2 hinges and had to roll back on a 2 hr ride with bunge cords holding the hatch on! Good ole days! Now im old and prefer quality over quantity.
