8's arent nice to me.

Dont have a budget

 

[quest51210 10+ year member]

thats because you obviously have no clue what you are doing....and no budget? then why stop at $30 subs? if there is no budget then a dozen high end subs would fit the bill

Oh I see your an internet commando tough guy.

Sorry I didnt like your idea. Get over it

well you first claim you want to stick to $30 subs and then you have no budget. i believe if you knew how to properly set up and power 8's you would not only "shock" others but yourself, but i see that your abilities and knowledge are limited.

You put them in the right box and two SA8s will hit 150s. They go for like 100ish each. Thats where my brother and I are headed. I like the 12 wall Idea though. Dude has a point is all Im sayin. Tiny Guys blowing your doors down seems more impressive than a wall that everyone's seen before

I had a pair in 4 cubes tuned to 32, they do get pretty loud surprising enough but the lows seriously lack, they wont take more than rated at all. Maybe 100 over if you are lucky and watch them really close. If it was me I would do some 15s or 18s if you want to get loud. I really think you will spend a bunch on some crap subs, wood, wiring etc. and be happier with some quality subs and power.

Just a kind of comparison, I let my buddy borrow the subs and box in his G cherokee, and Im running 1 Konaki 12 and my stereo smashes his on lows and volume, and I have a 4dr trunk car with a non fold down seat. He was like I thought mine was loud and how come your seems so much louder? lol

I'd have to get on board with the don't bother with cheap subs. For the price of a wall of cheap ones you could get 1 or 2 really nice ones to do everything they'd do and more and sound better doing it. I don't mind a dozen 12's in a wall...but look for something half decent.

Hell my 2 cents, if you're going to do it, do it old school since that's what SPL cars did 20 years ago, get some 20 year old subs and some good old school amps. Credence speakers has some dirt cheap Lanzar and Sabere (sp?) subs from 1990ish. Do that on a couple Orion HCCA's or something?

they still makee the old kicker competitions and solobarics (the good ones) as they were the build house. But for the money they arent worth it.

With the space you would have for 8 of those 12s ported you can go 4 15s easily and smash them. Dont believe me? Hell give it a whirl! Throw 8 of those 12s in and then listen to someone's stereo running some 15s or 18s on comparable power and Im pretty sure you will see you wasted alot of time and money

my 3- Soundsplinter 8's in 2.4cu tuned to 33hz, off of 2400rms was doing low 140's...144.3

had beefed up electrical, no deadening, and used as a daily driver setup for over a year...to listen to country, blues, and some rap.

didn't compete, just picked up the TL #'s from a shop i used to work at. if i had been serious as i was when i was an installer i would have projected at least 150's off of some other variables including maybe slightly more power, a high tuned box, and deadening etc. this was just something for me to cruise to while on my commutes and training.

Jensen JPW124 - 12" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronixjensen 12s...19$

shipping on those is just as much as the sub itself haha

lol, the hifi is a better deal then, $60 a pair shipped, they work well in a girls car who has about $100 to spend on a pair of 12s and a box lol
