i need a lot more power. i'm talking like 2,000 watts per 8. i built and installed a 4.5 cu ft box with a 120 sq in port that was tuned to 55 hz, so it peaked at 58 hz, with three 8's installed. well, 58 was the loudest above the tuned freq. but they just laughed at me and begged for more power they were barely moving. i want them to be at full excursion at 58 hz i know they needed more power, cause i hit louder at 48 hz, the resonant freq of my car.
142.7 isn't bad for three 8's on a term lab, especially since it would be about 149 on an audio control meter, but i can do so much better. at 58 hz it was barely 142.2 i definitely need more power for them. with 4 i did the 139.2 in an SQ oriented box. it's possible that i built too big of a box, and had too big of a port, but i think the main problem lies with too little power i'm thinking about playing around with a single 8 for a while, since the box will be WAY smaller, and lighter lifting these boxes in and out of my car isn't so great for my back one 8 with 1100 watts could do some damage
