shallow subs dont seem to be worth the space. I think 1 badass 8 would be better in like 1 cube with 1500 watts

 

1 cubic foot, for a 8? that's an awful lot.

my 12W6's only needed 1.25 in a sealed enclosure. the 8's i have, need something like .4 or .5 cubes.

the only big benifit of shallow subs is for really tight spaces, like the rear doors of my 'Burb. i have 10 that'll fit in the door with tons of room around them, but i couldn't fold down the middle seat if i put them in, since the seatback is sits pretty much flush with the door panel. so i have no choice but to buld an enclosure for a shallow sub there.

 

maybe someone could design a box to fit in the side storage in the back of a 2dr blazer or somethin like that

 

"badass 8's" also have huuge motors, and i just guestimated obviously

if I ever have space issues, like a reg. cab truck I think I would buy something like the Focal K2's and run them on a few hundred watts those things slam so hard lol

 

I did something similar to that... although it turned out to be a little bigger than I originally intended.

you can get a really nice 8 from Sundown Audio for $100 for 200 wrms (can take more) and the SA series for $150 400wrms (can take abuse) both of which only need a .5 foot ported box or .3 sealed. look into them, great customer service and great products

 

someone already has, way before nicky did.

nice fiberglass box, did a little write up on his box build.


those are nice subs, very tight.

 

didn't know they still made 8s in the K2. would be one clean (expensive but worth) system

 

i have a friend that fit 4 sundown audio sa-8s in the back of a jeep rangler behind the seats you could do that. subs up, port out. the box was tall and skinny, it worked great.

 

the new 8 sundown is working on, the motor is almost as big as the nightshades! hes comparing them to the almighty JL w7 for like half the cost
