f-150 sa-8 build

[tommelleo22 10+ year member]

what's up guys. currently working on a build for my friends 07 f150 extended cab. thinking about going 2 SA- 8's only thing is don't know too much about them and you guys all say they beat so i certainly take your word for it he just wants to know what 2 of them are going to sound like and what set up to run only using 2 woofers. ported or sealed the way to go for these? and he doesn't want to even build them if they're not going to be louder than our other friends f150 with his JL tw5 on a slash500. so just looking for some general info and advice on the 8's and this build thanks guys.

ported, they arent really designed for sealed.

if u build a 1.25 cubic foot box, and send at least 800 total watts to the subs, it will be louder than the JL 13tw5 off 500 watts sealed

why 8's?

if you can fit 8's you can fit 10's

unless you want 8's just to say you can blow the windows out with 8's, go with 10's

the mounting depth for the 10's is a lot bigger and we're working with limited space so it *****

plus its more entertaining to beat someone's setup with 8's lulz

I am going to slap a Stetsom 1k5 H on my pair of SA-8s. I just finished designing my enclosure, so hopefully I can get it built tomorrow!
