Just looking for a little advice. I've taken out the factory 8's in my front doors and so far have tried 2 replacements. Dayton Audio rs225-4. And pioneer shallow mount 8 inch subs. I like the sound of the Daytons much more they play lower and require less power. However they don't play down to 35hz @80watts like they are rated to do. They will play low at lower volunes. The Pioneers handle all the 150watts but don't sound quite as good as the daytons. I've decided to return the pioneers and try the Daytons again crossing over around 60hz to my subs. The first time I tried them I was not running my subs. So, what I'm looking for now is other alternatives to the Daytons. The Pioneers are out for sure. Trying to keep mounting depth as shallow as I can. Im pretty sure a JL 8w1v3 would fit, plus it's on sale at a local shop. But it has a really low sensitivity rating and I'm worried about that. However it should be able to move more air than the Dayton. People say to look at sensitivity, then when you compare ratings they say its not that simple. Lol. So I'm not sure what to think. Looking for help, advice and suggestions
