So right now I have a built by me 18 that is a rockford rsx2 magnet with a cast 12 spoke basket and a team psi recone that is dual 1 ohm coils. I run it off a pioneer mrp 500 at 2 ohms. It is getting about 350-400 watts daily in a 9.5 cu ft box with a slot port tuned for 34 htz. It literally takes up the entire back of my 04 Subaru forester. It has served me well for over 5 years but I think I want actual cargo space. I was contemplating replacing it with 4 sundown sa8 but have several concerns...the biggest concern I have is that I will lose my low end extension. My 18 is sloppy above 100 htz but it handles the lows like a champ. If I get 4 sa8 and build the correct box can I achieve the low end extension I have grown so used to having? I know there is going to be some trade offs like I wont have perfect lows but will gain a lot higher extension. I was planning on running the 4 sa8 on 2000 rms daily. Also is 2000 rms daily too much power? My buddy has a single sa8 and have burned the tinsels on it twice in the past year and he was running 300 watts rms.
