Never mind I just saw he has 500rms going to each sub.

SHORTSTACK

Yeah that's quite a bit of power. I think I'll be happy with just 2 of the subs.

After watching that video, it changed my mind about going with 2 12's.. If those 8's hit that hard and have good sq then i'm biting the built on them.

I agree man. But keep I'm mind in lifting my rear seat 2.5". Those little subs aren't so little but worth every penny. I got a chance to hear four of them in person. It shook my eyeballs.

Why do you need to lift your seat 2.5"?

I havent got the tape measure out, but with a mounting depth of 4.75" that seems a bit much, no? Or are you planning on forward firing these?

SHORTSTACK

I believe the mounting depth on the v2's is 6.5/8.
Yes I'll be forward firing them. So in order to have room for the subs, I have to lift the seat.

those 4 8's probably will be louder than 2 12's. with 2 12's you only have 24 inchs of cone area with the 4 8's that 32 inchs of cone area so the 8's will sound louder due to them being more cone area

Your math is wrong. The formula for area of a circle is pi (3.14) x radius squared. For the 12" speakers it would be 3.14 x radius (6) squared
3.14 x 36= 113.04. for two 12s that would be 226.04 sq in

For the 8" speakers it would be 3.14 x 16= 50.24. Multiply that by the four speakers and you get 200.96 sq in.

Ahh you are correct on the mounting depth, I was looking at the SD-2 version.

SHORTSTACK

It's more then just cone area when it comes to an application such as our truck. We have no space. So the tuning of the box and actual box play a huge roll in weather the subs you choose will sound good or not. That's why I'm lifting my seat, do I can have 1.5 cubic feet per sub. The subs i chose work well with 1-1.78 cubes.
