rockfordfosgate 8"

[malachi]

hey guys, Malachi here.

this is my first post, so i hope i dont noob it up to much.

anyway, iv been out of the sound game for a long time now. and im gettin gback into it.

im wondering what your opinions are on the rockford fosgate P2D48

i drive an 08 chevy silverado crew cab, and with the searching iv done, i havent found exatly what im looking for but did see how its possible.

i want to put them under the 40% folding seat. i have a 5 YO daughter with more stuff than me that i keep under the seat, along with all my stuff.

i want to put 2 farward facing eights. SEALED, ill have between .6 and .8 cubic ft.

would these, A) sound good, B) give good SPL, C) should i go with something different.

PS, ill post the exact amp im using later on.

thanks.

Two 8's sealed won't get loud, to be honest. If you have a TRUCK, why not store the stuff in the BED? My $0.02...

The amp I'll be using is a punch 500s

ID8D2V3's in 2.2 cubes net ported at 34Hz in a truck style box should sound perfect and give you enough output to enjoy them.

bump,

come on guys, no opinions on rockfordfosgate, or 8's?

i know last time i check RF was really good, but i heard that they fell off.

not a fan of the punch series or 8 in subs to be honest. the only thing i would run from rf would be their power series

Depends on the 8's. As with any size sub there is garbage and there is great stuff. Id put the RF 8's at the bottom of my list of items Id like to run.

LOL come on man, THATS what im asking

WHAT would you put at the top for 8's

its going to be eights, and its going to be THAT amp, 250 X2 @ 2 ohm... what the best speaker YOU would use?

The Image Dynamics ID8D2V3's would be perfect on that power and within those space requirements. You could go with a smaller box and some poly fill sealed up or you can go with a 2.25 net cube box ported and tuned at 34Hz for the pair on about 500wrms at 2 ohms.

the ID8s would work good or a pair of Sundown E8s

i cant find specs on the sundown,

but the ID only go up to 100 hz. now down to 10 is awesome, but i dont think 100 is high enough? :-/

 

[UMWDawg92 10+ year member]

100 should be about as high as you'd want it be crossed anyway... Google Sundown E8 v.2 and you'll get lots of info on them

 

[CL1CKCLACK 5,000+ posts]

run a single sa8 ported. youll be more then happy

Lulz. I ran my ID8's under 63Hz with a 24db slope. 100Hz is more than plenty for a sub stage if your front stage is up to snuff.

x2, a 100hz crossover point has the sub playing too much midbass...just doesn't sound right, at least in my install.
