I Sold the Bug! 🥺, So, New Build

1 of them on 750 watts is a banging little system. 4 of those on 3000 would be something I would want to try for sure.

You’ll need a solid 2500 for sure. The Orion looks decent

I had one but sold it. Everybody told me that my Bug couldn't run it. It was over 2,980 on the birth sheet.

I've got two VFL8d4's on 900. It sounds good.

I put 2 in 1 cube at 35hz on 1400 rms, and they were quite impressive.

In hindsight, I would have brought that down to .75 cubes at 35hz and kept the port the same SQ Inches.

A 6 inch aero with flared ends would be what I would do, if it were my system, and I could fit it in. Ported to the passenger side, subs forward.

In a single cab amyway

In my suv, I would do subs back ports back, which would require bending the port somewhere. you may get away without bending the port in a single cab, which is an extra benefit with an aero.

You put two 8's in one cube? One cube each, right? How would you put 2-8's in 12"x12"x12"?

Aren’t you adding displacement for sub, bracing and port? Whose doing your math on this deal?

Behind the seat of a Doge Ram is fairly big. My current box for two-8's is 31"W X 16"H X 9-½"D. Outside dimensions.

It was .5 cubes per sub, but after displacement for sub, port and bracing it was obviously bigger than .5 overall. It changes for the size of the port in sq, inches, and tuning. Bracing is differen. Some guys use a ton of wood that takes up slot of displacement. Some guys use all thread, which takes up much less. It could be 1 cube per sub after displacement I suppose, but this is a custom box. It should be a pretty specific number. An aero port totally changes the overall box size compared to a slot port at the same tuning.

When I talk about making the sq inches of port a little oversized, that also lengthens the port at the same port tuning, making the box a bit larger also, and sometimes causes issues even fitting the port into the box.

I just had this issue doing a bandpass for my Dayton ultimax. I have an oversized port in under .5 cubes. Not easy.

American Bass sucks as far as specs for their subs. If I remember correctly, the VFL wants between .75 and 1.0 cubic feet net. So, I was thinking of a 4 cube box before port and speaker displacement. I probably wouldn't do any bracing, but a 1" MDF top.
