i've seen his work.. and quite frankly.. i think he's CRAZY!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

but i must hand it to him.. very well done on his part.. i know i can't pull a project of that magnitude off.. much props to him..

could anyone give me some kind of input on ed8a?? and where are they selling them.. or any other 8 inch in which you think is a good driver...

i have one. its got ports, but it also as plugs for the ports. this way you can get really loud with a ported box, or you can plug the ports and get some better sq in most cases. ill probably never build a box witho pots and p[lugs again. lol/

how well is it holding??

do you think its possible for 4 re8 to be squeeze into such a box.. keep in mind my trunk space is limited..

do you have a picture of it?

 

[sleek_benzo 10+ year member]

guess not..

wondering.. would a MDF enclosure give me the best performance or would a fiberglass??

something like this: http://gallery.caraudio.com/pp/showphoto.php?photo=3850&sort=2&cat=501&page=4

or something like this: http://gallery.caraudio.com/pp/showphoto.php?photo=920&sort=2&cat=501&page=29

but with the re8 in the fiberglass instead..

pro/cons??

(sorry if i used your photo... hoping it would be okay)

i would imagine the with ported, they will get insanely loud.

and with sealed, you will get way less than you expected.

im planning on building a ported box for my SE 10"

imo- ported. just like that picture, maybe do 2 on each side or somthing cool instead of a rectangle =P

do you mean the fiberglass??

i'm not sure how it works but can i have a ported enclosure thats fiberglass? (stupid question??)

Get 6 even if you only use 4. For the extra 60 dollars, you get 2 subs. In case you have problems down the road with one of the Re's, you have 2 replacements.

wouldn't be a bad idea.. i'm not really in a rush though..

currently have JL w3 with rockford 800a2 in the trunk.. they're giving me decent sound right now.. but with all my buddies getting w7. i just want to do something different.. thats why i have my eyes set on some 8's..

thats brings me to a question: in comparsion... would the (4) 8's be louder than my current w3??

i'm still lingering on the question pertaining to fiberglass or mdf?? i really like the fiberglass look.. gives it a nice clean setup. but if the MDF enclosure will perform better.. i wouldn't mind..

money isn't a issue..

smackers... i just remember i have an old rockford fosgate 800a2 out back.. do you think it'll work on the re8???
