Looking to do 4 8s SQ

[Based]

So I decided I want to sell my 4 15s and do a small under the seat thing in my truck. I'm thinking 4 8s is the most cone area I can fit under there and seeing that 4 8s aren't even as loud as 2 12s I might as well go for SQ. I'm looking to spend up to 800$ on subs alone. What are some good subs I can do in that price range? I know SQ is not 100% about what you buy but I just am asking because I don't want to go and buy what I think is good and then find out I could've gotten better. Thanks.

Oh and the amp I currently have is a Taramps HD3K 1ohm.

Max. Output Power @ 13,8 VDC - 1 OHM: 3598W RMS

Max. Output Power @ 13,8 VDC - 2 OHMS: 2446W RMS

Max. Output Power @ 13,8 VDC - 4 OHMS: 1403W RMS

Max. Output Power @ 12,6 VDC - 1 OHM: 3000W RMS

Max. Output Power @ 12,6 VDC - 2 OHMS: 2040W RMS

Max. Output Power @ 12,6 VDC - 4 OHMS: 1170W RMS

I'm looking towards the SA-8 but like I said I'm not sure.

Depends on what 8s and what 12s .. we did 4 sa8s in my buddies ranger and it was as loud as his zv3 15 ..both were ran on a saz3500

Yeah I know I'm just going by cone area as that's a good way to estimate loudness.

yeah I know it depends on a lot of things but cone area is king.

I'm thinking about just doing sealed because i've never had a sealed set up and for my first box it'd be a good place to start. For all I know I could like sealed a lot more than ported. What do you all think of the ID 8?

ok this can be closed. I decided I'm doing 4 Image Dynamics ID 8s sealed. Thanks.

How do I calculate internal volume when I have a chassis hump in the middle of it?

 

[mylows10 5,000+ posts]

Depends on how big that hump is. My z71 hump is about 3" high. I built 3 different boxes til I got what I wanted sound wise. One of the boxes I built has a flat bottom. The others are done to fit a bit better and have optimal airspace You might have to measure it in sections. Then combine all the areas together
