look at the sticky for generic enclosures that would be the free option or hit up nightmareaudio.com he could whip out something for you custom

I was hoping for a faster turn around time. The reason I haven't built one from the sticky section is because I wanted a square port. Thank you for the info

If you can wait until tomorrow I can draw you one if someone else doesn't do it first.

I decided to go with a basic box from the roe sticky section. I picked up a fresh slab of birch just now. off to the garage I go.

box turned out good, sa sounds great and gets lower/louder than my previous setup. 500rms is not enough for this sub.

Depending on the size of the enclosure, it'll take up to double the 500. They are a very good sub for the money, as are most sa products.

the shop i bought the sa from has agreed to let me put a saz1500 on layaway.

Pick up a second sub. A pair on the 1500 will do very well.

It's d4...to the other poster, i dont want to run a dual setup. a single sub with lots of Power is the idea

yeah that be a good match then the 1500 is rated at 930 at 2ohms not for sure what it will really do but by adding a second sub your double your cone area PLUS get more Power out of the amp being able to run at 1ohm.

this SA sounds amazing on the alpine, however I can tell that it's severely underpowered. I'm not a huge fan of dual sub setups in trunk vehicles such as my alero. just not enough room.


single sub, optimum box, big clean power. in fact i may just pull the d4sa and make it a garage sub and order a d2sa to run on the saz
