Yea, Jacob said they like a good amount of port area. Sucky thing is port area adds length which takes up air space.. Which means bigger boxes.

the box i have design 21 in of port for 1.3 cubes box

so do you guys think i have enough space for these two 8's or should i do something different? if a saz1200 is too much i can just run it at 2ohms. if these wont sound good with the space im trying to use ill need to rethink my setup. i havent bought anything yet so if you guys think i can get better bass with these dimensions with something different id love to hear your ideas.

you can easily do 2 sa8s.

and for you people saying they cant take more than rated in a bigger box, im running a clean 2k to 2 of them in a 1.6 cube box. they like it, so kindly stfu.

Yea as mentioned before, tuning will be hard with the dimensions u got.. Power is not an issue.. they will take more power, they are little beasts. if not u can always do a single sa-10

i did some more measuring in my trunk and i have less room than i thought. i have 29'' width x 18'' deep x 9.5'' height using 3/4'' wood ill have 2.1 cubes to work with //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif i had to cut down on the width because the trunk torsion bars come down and are in the way. there will be a lot of room on each side of the box for ports though. maybe i could have ports sticking out the side and they can stick out 8'' on each side and maybe have a 90 degree elbow to make them point up.

they do lack in the suspention department when in bigger boxes, if you do a tone at 30hz on 2k they will not like it in a bigger than normal box

I honestly doubt it sounds as clean as it should, for that much power you should use a smaller box to compensate for move mechanical movement.

1.6 ft^3 would be perfect for a SAZ-1200D @ 1 ohm. With a single 4" aero

I suggest a single sa8 or maybe even a sa10.....I would have to see what the port displacement would be to be for sure which would be better. You could also do sealed if you wanted.

I've stuck with 1.25-1.5ft^3 for a pair, depending on the power available...seems to be working well. I wouldn't go any larger unless using less than ideal power.

 

[pro-rabbit 5,000+ posts]

Yea, but haveing 2.1 before any displacement will wind up fairly small. I have yet to check it out to see how small, but I'm sure it is to small for a set.

Yeah, it wouldn't leave enough room to use a properly sized port, unless he wanted to tune higher...like 35hz. I was just commenting on the box size for a pair of SA8's.
