Any low ebp (under 50ish) sub suited for a sealed enclsoure.

I would request a low Fs as well. You can play lows at high power with the sealed if you have to make it huge. So look for a lower Fs 8 if you can. I had some of elemental designs 8's that worked great in a 4th. A lot of 8's resonate really high in 4ths.

You'll need more of an sq oriented design to get a lower fs (ideally below 40hz for an 8) which inherently will have lower power handling.

I own 2 cerwin vega v series 8s with the red surround, never hooked them up but they have a fs of 34, I also have some old Infinity REF860w's, those are good for 4th orders, I dont remember the specs off the top of my head but something with comparable numbers to either of those models would be a decent starting point.

What about the new Sundown Nightshades? What are the specs on those?

Couldn’t find anything on them but they are prob more than I’m willing to spend

Contact Apex Audio they should have them and a price since they are in that building. And they get right back to you within a day sometimes within a hour or two. Just for the heck of it kinda thing, be nice to know what those are going for in case others want to know.

Am I missing something here? You're going to do a 4th order in a single cab truck?

It’s a thought if possible. I am aware that they require a big enclosure but I was thinking maybe I would have enough room for an 8 or two. I’ve bucket seats and think I may have some decent space. Not possible?

I mean anything is possible maybe a center console build. If you're wanting to experiment I would do a 1 12" t line before a 2 8 4th order in a single cab

Something with a lower fs just like the 4th order Something around 35. The fi xv3 were perfect but i.tbink they dc'd em
