SA-8 Power Handling?

4-layer copper.
Most likely an 8-layer flat aluminum would fit the gap... have not tried yet but it will in the SA-10,12,15 motor.

That aluminum you sold me for my SA 12 motor was a 8 layer wasnt it.

i understand if not using ca glue. there is only a 1/8 lip to glue the 6" spider down. have you tried putting ca or epoxy over what is there to see if it holds better?

When I re-build them I use CA glue. Future runs will simply be bolted rather than dumping a bunch of glue on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif More elegant.

Yep.

That should work in the SA 10 and 8 then too right, or are the gaps different in those?

^ sa8 uses a 2" coil not a 2.5.

are you gonna go with a metal or plastic ring on this woofer?

Recommended box size is 0.6ft net volume ported for an sa-8. There isn't any need to go larger. Even going to 0.8ft, it may not seem like much but that's 33% more volume than recommended.

i got about 600 -700 at 2 ohm on 1 with a .8 with 4 in port

How long is your port?

Steel. I cannot bolt from the top or the cone will hit the bolts so I have to bolt from the back and thread into the bolt down ring.

just need to slap the chinnese and have them use better glue. pay them a extra $0.01 a hr and they will be happy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You know we actually popped them off when I re-built some prototypes with CA glue when we went past 2500 watt burps. The bolt-down is more for me than anyone else I guess //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yea come on 2500rms for burps on a 8" subs how many people have tried that, ummmmmm, YOU!

i like the spider retainers too but what will break next surrond or leadwires,lol...

Probably the leads - as they were not made for 2500 watts of power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
