the dsc is a very solid amp, saw a bench test at one point where it clamped at 1800 no clip on 14.4 i had one on my single 12 setup and was doing 140 at 40hz.

Do the sa-8's hit the lows real well? I listen to a lot of hip hop

tune the sa-8s down to 30-32 hz and they will get as low as you want to.

Most of that has to do with the enclosure...

You don't NEED nearly 1kW for them either.

Alright. I'm really feelin the 8's cause if they move, it'll be cool to be runnin 8's that really do work. At the same time, I don't want to spend any money to be disappointed. Would you say these things will out do your standard "high school, 2 12's" set up; provided the enclosure and power source are there?

not sure about the size difference, but i got a box with 4 DD 1508's in my 98 accord coupe. those things ROCKED my car!

I ran a single DD1508 in my 97 Civic coupe with 1,000 watts RMS and it rocked that car pretty good. NO ONE believed I was running a single 8 until I showed them.

Doing the electrical properly was a royal PITA though. First I went with a ODBI ECU that had ELD programmed out of it and a ODBIIa to ODBI jumper harness. That allowed me to use my 175 amp alternator to its full potential without worrying about the ECU cutting charging voltage.

Edit: If you have your heart set on a 12, I would recommend the Phoenix Gold RSDc 12 as a solid budget choice. I'd also have no problems rocking the Sundown SA-12 in their recommended 1.75 cubic feet net tuned to 30 Hz. Sadly, the Civic coupe's peak transfer frequency is pretty high, so you are going to need to tune your enclosure fairly low to get some decent sub bass in that particular vehicle.

the sa-8s are almost with out question the baddest 8 on the market, ive seen 2 of them do 140.x on just over 1k, they will get loud, not to mention its really fun to see the look on peoples faces when you show them what your actually running. many laughs can be had.

I think if nothing else, I'm sold on the sa-8's. I think my next thing to do is worry more aboutthe enclosure. I'm going to have to get my hands on some good box plans that will accommodate the two subs
