[onewheelup]

i just got a SA 8 V.3 D4 and i got measurements from sun down themselves and this is the smallest box i ever built.after displacement for the little monster and a 3 inch PVC port thats 15 inches long it came to be right at 0.75 cft.thats a beautiful amp man.ive got that decaf song too, man that decaf shit will kill your speakers if your not really careful ya know.

[ECooks]

big difference over that ebay box, huh?

[awesomedaadi]

Wow that called bass <3
P.S I want sundown 😍

Box looks to be around 1.5 cubes (guessing as I can't see internals as to what the port is doing) and might be tuned around 25hz as it seems to be playing this song fine that goes to 27hz, however with the size of port (guessing it's 10"x1.5"?) there's going to be alot of port noise, but It might not even matter at the driver seat with the music playing, you most likely wont hear it.

Would be nice to get some clarification from the uploader with my guesstimates.


Song is "downtown decaf" in case anyone wants to know what song he's playing.

i have 4 sundown 8s the only problem i have is making people believe its only eights!!!! these things are special

[ss-kyvl]

HOLY FUCK DUDE. I think it's safe to say you met close to the limit of those fuckers.

[KountryKam]

I’m thinking bout getting one of these is it worth it

[MyTruckGetsLow]

How do you like the new box from high output enclosures?

[mattkazmir]

I feel safe enough to buy a Hifonics BRX1600.1D for my 1 x8 after watching this, thanks!

Have you tried using a normal class AB high current amp with that sub, something like an orion, ppi, mmats, etc, to see if it sounds better? Class "d" amps don't have a lot of damping ability and for some reason it seems (in my humble opinion) to take more dsp to get them to sound right. Maybe borrow something like a ppi pro mos 250 or larger and see what it sound like to you.

Also, do you have the subsonic filter turned on for that amp, or does it have one? I ran an earthquake phd2 on two mtx 7500 12s and it had an internal (top secret, lol) subsonic switch. When I defeated the filter, it played deeper and sounded better.

It sucks we can't actually hear it how your setup sounds in person.

I actually have a dual 8" version of this box coming soon, and will be running two image dynamics subs bridged on a mmats lm amp. Can't wait to see what it can do.

[michaelchildressjr]

how much RMS did you have it on in the ebay box?

[patrolmanmalik]

Can you please give me the details of the box and speakers . Thanks

[jeremywhittler]

The tuning port length is crazy ported for the X8. You can run 3 on the airspace of 2 with a big passive. PSI makes them up to 18'

[ScrizzDubb]

Do you still have this set-up? I noticed the Ontario plate, if you're near the GTA I'd love to get a demo as I am seriously considering this sub.

[sanj]

is ONE enough? or should i get two SA8's....will be powered by a Kicker Kx

[E.T.R_FITNESS]

What are you tuned at... can you tune this little guy to 32hrtz?

[davidstancu]

would ine if these 8 in sundowns kick harder than a cheaper 12?

[jasontaylor]

can I run a American Bass Ph4000 to a Sundown X8 D2?? amp is 2000 rms. Also how you like the sub? Does it sound good in/out of the car? And one last thing do you recommend this woofer??

[blazinbeaches]

That box is too big for that sub, that's why it doesn't hit the way it should. If you want one long box with one sub make it a t line and it will slam.
