the only one acting idiotic, and like you know everything, is you...
i said that if he went with 4 8's sealed he wasn't gunna get as low of a responce as with 2 10's
then you said he could do 2 8's ported, which still normally wouldn't do as good as the 10's of the same series...
seriously dude, i know it's cool to flame cotjones and all... but use your common sence, i know you have a little...
i was OBVIOUSLY talking about comparing 8's and 10's of the same series, if you couldn't understand that then you are dumber than you are trying to make me look...
the jl 8w7, the kicker 8" L7, and many other 8's could kill even some 15"s in output...
instead of nit-picking what i say with the aim of making people look like dumb-asses
why don't you just wake up and help this guy get the right thing....
so for the OP lets look at your options
3 er 4 8's sealed = really expensive, not very efficient
2 8''s ported = really in-expensive, hard to design, hard to build, not the best possible performance...
2 10's sealed = fairly in-expensive, easy to design, easy to build, great performance on both low and high end .... flexibility for future applications, better resale value... (who's gunna buy cheap second-hand 8"s?)
honeslty dude
