As stated i just bought an 8" RE audio REX series subwoofer, this will be going into a .37cft sealed box. I will be powering it with an Alpine mrp350 mono channel amp.

what should i expect? how does the sub hit? will it pick up the lows?

for instance i have an MA 8" that sounds like poop below like 60hz

the only other set up i will have to compare it to in my truck was a pioneer tssw251 in a tiny box.

any info or opinions are appriciated

 

.37 sealed box sounds smallish to me

 

according to the RE site, they say .3 minimum .35 optimal

build a ported box, sealed boxes are gay

 

i will eventually, just trying to find the subs i want to run before i drop all of that money. plus its gonna take a good bit of careful planning being as i want two 8s ported in a reg cab..

 

should of gotten a older re not the new X line. they are crap now

 

sundown SA8s are good

 

Yea the sundown sa 8s get loud and low.

 

ok, so just got my new REX8.. huge huge step up from the MA.. what a waste.. anyway just threw it in my lil .37 sealed box they sound pretty damn good for being cheap. So if i get paid tomm (which i should) i will be building a box to specs, im going sealed for now to see how i like it im also ordering another REX8 and a new amp.. pretty stoked on this as of now ..

i would run the SA8s but they are to deep to run without loosing leg room.

 

i have 2 kicker l7 8's in a 1 cuft ported box,they share the same chamber and i have a kicker zx750.1 amp pushing them and these speakers hit really hard and low.everyone i know flips out when they see i have 8's.i have a single cab.im watching my back window flexing,door skins flexing and the rear view mirror vibrates off the windshield.also i have the tuning pretty dead on so it sounds good too.they do put out alot of bass.probably the only others 8's i would go with are dd1508.but its just a ranger so i didnt see the point of really dumping tons of money into the stereo.

 

ok, so not that i have a term-lab at my disposal but i did get a little favor from the guys at the dmv. Background: Delaware has pretty strict inspection, in tagged in Florida being as im active duty air force, so anyway i go to the dmv, ask the guy in the inspection lane if i can use his DB meter that they use for exhaust, he was bored and decided to run it for me .. a single 8 in .35 overall box it hit 103. so its not to shabby. im really impressed after i get my second sub and my new amp i wanna put it on a term lab just to see..
