    i wanted to do 4 sa-8's, thing about them is they will blow you away if you set it up correctly. Nice little setup

    Thanks, whenever i do a system, i always go for the shock and awe factor. I had a pair of 10s in my ranger that weighed 80lbs each that were rated for "4000 rms" but could take up to 6000 with good electrical. These 8s are rated for 600 rms each but the company owner plans on around 2000 rms per 8 in his crx for mid bass lol. These little 8s are also built with high roll surrounds so if i were to retune lower with a new box, they'd slam the lows like a 15 would which is what i'll do next with the 3.5k at around 900 rms to each 8 with perfect electrical.

    I had 4 v2 e8s in the car as a temporary system until these DCs arrived, they slammed good. Was thinking of the SA8s but these DCs have a better cooling setup for better daily setups at high power.

    36x14x14 tuned to 34 or 36 hz single chamber single port. It was custom built and north of $500 after powder coating, don't want to say the exact price just in case his prices change.

    Was it much of a tight squeeze?? I'm thinking of doing one that's close to 17 inch in depth 35x14x17.
