2 RE 8's? 3....

[js1 10+ year member]

So far Im planning on running a single 10" with a 600 watt amp @ 4 ohms.

I plan on getting an amp that will do 600 RMS @ 4 ohms/ 1100+ @ 2 ohms so that if the one 10" isn't enough I can grab another 10" and run them both together at 2 ohm.

I've heard some good things about RE 8's and was wondering what would sound better? One or two 10" subs or 2 - 4 RE 8's? With all the amp choices out there, i'd be looking for one that's RMS is around the same as whatever sub/subs could handle. 4 RE's are around $200 and one L7 10" is on sale for $200 at zeb.com.

I was just curious because of some room constraints. I think I can fit 2 RE 8's into the panel that used to hold the stock mach 8" sub. Stealth is a good thing in Los Angeles. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

teg,

Do you have any pics of your install? Are all four run in series? 8 Ohm or?

How compared to a 600 watt L7 10" or 12" sub at 750 watts, does it hit as hard?

If I can squeeze in 2 where the stock sub went and run 2 more under the seats....

Or maybe built a couple into trunk lid... Maybe all four in there.

Not sure what I'm going to do, just kickin around ideas.

Look in my gallery for pictures of 2 under the rear seat. I would think you could get them under there.

I have to do some research. If I can get them for $200 shipped and figure out how/where to mount all four......

I keep looking at my expedition and wonder what four 8's would look like sitting back in the rear hatch. I wonder if it could support the subs and whatever enclosure I'd have to build and the vibrations.

No box + no visable wires + good bass + 8's = //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If I cant work it out Im just going to grab 10" and see what happens.
