You should be fine on 500 for the group Id think as long as its clean and the enclosure is done correctly.

Id say give it a shot and let us know. If you really want to do this and need a design, PM me. Id be more than happy to get you one for this project granted you keep us updated on results.

dont tune 8s so low, idk why your so set in that

Have you modeled them up to check excursion on that power? That would be my concern.

i had a pair of 8's on ~ 350wrms tuned to 31 hz with no problems.

Tuning all depends on the sub. 31hz is too low for some 15s. At the same time its too high for some 8s. You can't generalize based on cone size alone.

True, tuning frequency is entirely dependent on the sub and what kind of response curve your're looking for.

well 28-32 would b what im looking for. 4 8s would work cuz of my lack of space. i dont wana make another thread but what 4 8s tune low would u guys use? keep in mind there is a lack of monies.

i still think you should try the MB RWE 8's on sale at woofersetc. Mine looks beasty , i have yet to hear it though.

You are probably looking at incompatible goals. I don't know of an 8 on the cheap that is going to like a tuning that low. Your best bet is to compile a list of drivers that meet your budget and then model them up in WinISD to figure out which ones will let you tune low in an enclosure that will fit without the response curve going to hell.

ok thanks,tbh if i sell my 4 12s and box and wait for 3 months or so get threw the snow etc mayb 4 of those sundown 8's . there is the new line lower rms and less money .lol

instead of 4 8's, just get 1 15" or 18" at RMS, take up less space probably and hit even harder.

a couple sa8s would get way louder than those daytons and you wouldnt be out a ton of money, I tune mine to 30-34 all the time and they wang, but because of port area you might lose some of your high end, they do wang at 30ish though
