Currently looking at 2 Dayton HO 8 @ 300W eacg. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-rss210ho-4-8-reference-ho-subwoofer-4-ohm--295-458.

Any other recommendations around that price range?

Yup...

That's the m3 8 in a t-line enclosure.

That box is gigantic for an 8

It's a t-line enclosure.....it takes up more internal space because of the lengthness of the port, which is very long!! Reg ported enclosure would be about 1/3-1/2 that size.

Hard to beat that 5 year warranty on the Daytons, and the HO series sound really nice. I have a pair of 10s that did very well in 2.6 sealed.Still have them too

Only one I have experienced is the VFL 8 inch

It's a monster of a sub. Local box builder uses them for pretty much every single truck build he does. Most AB subs are slightly above average but there higher end subs (HD and VFL series) are amazing products.

I considered one of those subs. The sexyness of the yellow carbon fiber cone really draws the naked eye to it.

Btw....I see Tahoe emblem/sign on your wall //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yeah I like the yellow. Good subs for the money, really good for music since they pop in the 34 to 50hz range. There overbuilt as well (if I remember correctly there close to 20lbs each). I'm considering downsizing and wouldn't mind running 3 of them in a mid sized box

You can contact him and he can tell you. He's the one who did the two boxes I posted along with my personal box in my Civic https://www.facebook.com/thumpinsounddesigns/
