Best 8" subs for a truck

[Beermakesmehoppy 10+ year member]

Hello All, I just picked up a new 2022 Ford F250 CrewCab. The only room I have available is under the rear seats. I need to measure but I think I should have around ~2-3 cubic feet to play with. I thinking of getting 4x 8", but not sure which ones. I had my eye set on some B2 Aduio XM8s, but those are hard to come by. I was also thinking about something from DC or Sundown audio, but nothing specific. I'm a bass head so I want something that hits and I know 8s sounds clean also. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The CT Mesos look pretty nice. DD 2508's are nice but expensive. Deaf Bonce just came out with a 8" sub (2508). The AB HD8's are nice. The VFL 8's get down. Any of these subs would work for you.

Do they sell those Rampage 8s anywhere?

Are you limited by volume or depth? Just wondering why 8's are your only option.

@Bobbytwonames do you have personal experience with any of those subs or are you reading specs?

I've only ran the VFL 8's and the HD8's. I don't like the DC's because they only have a 2" coil. The DD's speak for themselves. I've seen some breakdown videos of the CT Mesos and B2 Rampage 8's. If you go to Mbe Enclosures on YouTube he reviews nothing but 8" subs.

I’ve always wondered about those but never seen anyone run them.

The mounting depth you have available is an important factor along with how much power you are looking to run.
