[QUOTE="Hintzyboy, post: 3431547, member: 566521"] [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif[/IMG] I have a single cab s10 and I can fit ~2 cubes ported plus an amp rack on top of the enclosure without losing legroom. There is a lot more space in trucks than you seem to think, especially if you're not like 6 feet tall. And the recommended ported volume for most 8s isn't very large (.5 cubes a piece for an ED 9kv.2 for example). So, the OP should easily be able to fit 3 or 4 decent 8"s ported, which should easily outperform most setups with 2 sealed tens that are in a fairly small box. And since you like comparing subs of the same model, let's have an example. 4 ED 9kv.2s = $220 plus shipping (with forum discount) Sd: 924 sq cm total xmax:14.1 mm 2 ED 11kv.2s = $180 plus shipping Sd: 700 sq sm total xmax: 15.1 mm Not that these specs REALLY tell us anything, but it does show that the 8"s have roughly 32% more surface area than the tens, while only losing 1 mm of xmax. The 8s also have a 1.8 Hz lower Fs. So all your favorite specs come back and bite you in the *** here. But you can't really pick a sub based on that stuff. I pretty much did that for fun, to show you that your own flawed arguments don't even agree with you. The point is that there are a large variety of 8" woofers out there that are easier to get good performance out of than comprable 10" woofers, especially in a volume empaired environment like a truck [/QUOTE]
