Yes I already have one. My SA12 was stolen so I thought I would Try the U series. I have it in the old SA 12 box now. Still waiting for it to break in be cause so far it doesnt hit as hard or as low as the SA.

may need more break in time and power.. it should sound like a SA with the low end of a X (or that's kinda what they said anyway) that thing may need 1500-2k

Im running an Orion XR2500.1D. Its birth sheet was 2977 watts at 12.6 volts so power isnt a problem. The box is exact specs off sundowns skethup blueprint.

Looks to me like between the extra displacements due to driver size, and extra port area... the box probably needs to be a bit bigger... idk exactly what would work without sitting down and modeling it up but with that much power and excursion you'll probably need 16-17in2^ft3 of port minimum.... maybe more.

That Sa-12 box is .06ft3 smaller due to driver displacement differences right off the bat and the port is IDK how much undersized in port area... should be a totally different beast once boxed properly.

Not sure how much extra port area you'll need but I'll look at it if you want... probably need a ton of extra port area with all the power you got.

You should be able to tell the difference, not significant going from 12 to 12... but easily noticable ... I agree with @shredder2 more port area

 

[mattshady]

Yes please and thank you.

This one has around 37in2 of port and is almost 17in2^ft3... probably do a lot better than the box you've currently got, that's 2.21ft3 net tuned to 32hz or so.

hmu if you think that is one that'll fit your vehicle.
