HELP ME! I'm new to this. I was thinking of powering one of these BEASTS with a fosgate prime R500-1 500 watt mono amp (coz I already have one) and I was wondering what would be more appropriate, the 2-ohm or 4-ohm sa-8? (sorry, I'm upgrading from my last heap system and i wanted all the right stuff this time)
@screamineagles91, I had the same idea as u, but I said fck it, then took off the back seat and put in 4 12s.. It pounds hard as hell... This is a 94 sierra ext cab
I hope you're not running those like that for long periods of time. You're giving them waaaay too much power with an unclean signal. Say bye-bye to those subs quick man. They'll take a beating but that's not a good idea. Voids the warranty too.
@Pker592 the first problem I had was not enough port area. It was tuned to the right frequence but still sounded funny, then I went up to 30 square inches of port area and it made a huge difference in sound. It has to do with the port velocity matching the subs velocity I was told. IM not sure if thats ur problem but might help
Hey, Gotta love EM,Jacob can built SUB'S.I've got 2 in a ported box in a 1996 Honda Civic dual 4'S wired to 1ohm being pushed by a Hifonic's BXI 1208D older version and I play them at my friend audio shop and people crap when they see only 8's back there movin. They swear I had 12's. These subs beat down period! Nice vid! maybe I'll post 1 later on.
@trnfan1 The 2nd box(in my other video which sounded better imo) is 2.03 cube tuned to 33hz with 30 sq inches of port, this box was right at 1.0 tuned the same with 24 sq inch of port if I remember right. I have gotten rid of this setup and went to a single Nightshade V.2 12 d1, the NS is a beast.
@blazinloud, as long as your able to hold voltages above 12 volts you should be more than fine with that electrical. I have heard people runnin @ 1/2 ohm with that very amp(ver.1) on all stock electrical(Batt + alternator) and 4ga wire and had no issues. Just don't be a volume happy idiot like me and you should be fine.
In my opionion, it's not worth the inefficiency, heat and current draw. You gain very little wiring down to 1/2 ohm... OR... are you at 2 ohms now?
@blazinloud, if you looking for that edge, droppin to .5 will give you a bit more power. You'd be doing the better part of 2K @ .5. Just watch for voltage drops and turn it down when you sag to 11.5v. Otherwise the power supply in your amp will hate it. Knowing how well built that amp is, it will likely hang anyway as long as your voltage stays above 11v.

@cdythms 1ft^3 with 24 sq inches of port? sounds like wayy too much. in a 2ft^3 at 33hz you could do 2 sa-8s on 24 sq inches of port.
