10's or 8's...worried about low end.

to clear up some of the mounting hole/ohms misunderstanding...
mounting holes do not = ohms. if you are mechanically inclined, you can GENTLY open up the moving part of a woofer and extract some of the ohms, this is the reason why many people think that 8 ohm woofers are better than lower ohm woofers, because you can get whatever ohms you need out of them (but be careful not to lose them, otherwise it will be hard to sell a woofer with missing ohms when you are done with it...).

the old school Cerwin Vega strokers actually had an ohms adjuster in the middle of it, so that it could be eaiser to tune for your system, thus why many people liked them for SPL.

and one last //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif - the correct verbage is "ohms", so do not try to correct me and tell me its resistance or inductance. resistance and inductance are measurable units, ohms are nouns.

hopefully someone will learn something from this post //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yes you can get just as much low-end from 8's as 10's but it is gunna be easier to get the low bass performance from 10's...

it's just natural that the bigger the sub, the better it plays low... granted a ported box can minimize or eliminate the advantage, but since space seems such a restriction, i would say you are going to go sealed, in which case you are gunna have a hard time emphasizing any lows from 8's

whereas you could go 10's, and get more natural lows without sacraficing output or clarity at higher levels...

imo... just because you CAN get just as much performance out of a smaller sub doesn't mean you should if you don't have to...

i'd say normally if its a choice between sizes, go with the bigger...

it (most of the time) just makes more sence

also i have a single 10w6v2 in a sealed box in my mom's car's trunk and it slams the lows

 
oh my shit, Bill cracks me up:laugh:

And was this guy for real?? The ohms on the stroker were adjustable??

I'm at a loss for words. Is everyone that smart on this site or did I just miss this fact in my twelve years into car audio??
