Wow, those SA8's look BEEFY.

Love the Solid amp too, wish I would have had a chance to use mine.

Love me some SA-8's

Those 8's look real nice.

Thanks guys, the sa-8's are definitely solid. Heavier than a lot of 10's and 12's out there.

what kind of peerless mids u have?

 

[stangman67 10+ year member]

Cheapie sds 6.5's. This component setup was an experiment so see what kind of sound I could get for 100 bucks (amp/drivers/xovers) and I am extremely impressed with how it turned out. I will eventually put some ID ctx65's in, but these do the job for jow.

Nice equipment.. How much power is that amp going to put to the 8's?

 

[stangman67 10+ year member]

A alot //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif around 3k at .5 ohm (after I get the xs batts). For now I will have it tuned to put about 400 to each

can u get the sds to give any kind of mid bass? i kinda did the same thing, spent around $100 and they were cheap so it worked. i love my tweeters but those things have like 0 bass, but my install probably *****

Looks good, I sat in your car at the Lincoln City meca comp and it was loud with just 2 8's(I had the red Chevy with the Type R's) Good luck on the new build, looks loud.

 

[stangman67 10+ year member]

Yup yup I remember you. This should be a bit louder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif And cruzer, the midbass is decent but the simple fact is these drivers are not designed to work in an ib setup. They would work well in a small ported setup. For the price I cannot complain though.

We'll have to see if we can get some kind of meet/meter session going on up here in Wa, then you oregon guys can make the drive up. I'll be itching to meter when this is all in.
