need bumps in the bonneville!!!!

[ifly 10+ year member]

Ok, heres the situation, im currently driving a old standard cab dodge ram with 6 re 8's in a 3.5 cu ported box ran off a hifo 1000d at ~ 1.3 ohms tuned to 32 hz

the box is a shallow triangle shape with 2 4" ports

Well very soon I'll pay the insurence and get my 1992 ssei supercharged bonneville on the road

so i'm stuck with the delema, what would be the cheapest way to get very good sq while still getting rediculously loud.

my 8's get desent sq while getting mildly loud(blurs vision) and i already have 6 of them, so i was thinking get 2 more

my idea for the box is .75 cu foot per each 8 (6 cu internal total) and tune the whole thing to 28~30 hz, i dont mind the 32 hz tuning, but on some songs i feel that the low end is a bit lacking, might be due to the 8" drivers

I would like to keep my 1000d, however in my truck I'm not sure if its getting all the amps it needs, my amp gage dances around ALOT!! at high volume, and the alternator on my car doesn't look any bigger than my trucks...

I like the pepy feeling of 8's and from the people that i talk to, the bigger the sub, the less pepy it feels due to the heavy cone.

is there any kind of special box i can make that would make my current system hit harder and sound better in my car?

what do you think?

u did the 8s, i say try sumthin else, 2 12s or single 15. wit ya power look into some CVRs or even single 15R

true i did the 8's, but, they get good and loud....

im not convinced a single 15 will beable to keep up with the 8's on quick punchy bass

the song by megadeth, sweating bullets comes to mind....

from what i hear the type r's are the shit...

i looked at one at bestbuy, single 12 in a prefab box...weird surround on them punks, it was out done by the 2 12's type s's , however i know that in the store they sound nothing like real application

the 15 keeps up,dont get it twisted, but i do like the 12s better.

It's not the size of the cone, it's the strength of the motor to mass ratio. You can have a 15" hit pretty quick done in the right setup. Check out the RL-s subs on soundsplinter.com.

ho hum, type r, yay. Okay I'm done.

If the bass was bluring your vision then I dont know how that is putting it mildly lol! I would do the 8 8" for the wow factor. I forget does the seat fold down in that or have a hole in the middle of it. My buddy has a ssei and I swear his seat folds down. He might of made something for it to come down though. Anyway good luck on your decision. Peace!
