What size of box?

I had 8 Re8's in a 4 cu ft box tuned to 32hz awhile back on a DEI 2400d. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

The awww factor is priceless. Then again, I had 8 8's. LOL. However, the output was decent. It was honestly as loud as my 2 12L7's (6 cu ft box tuned to 35Hz) and KX1200.1 were previously (not when I had the 2 KX1200.1's strapped though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif ).

I only switched because I wanted something that got lower. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I sat in a truck that had 8 PG 8" subs behind the seat, it sounded really nice.

Power efficiency tends to be better with one big sub rather then several smaller subs though.

Get the dual 4's so its 8 ohms for each sub

Get the D4's and wire in series-parallel (each sub's individual coils in series, then parallel all the subs together).
