Really liking how this woofer specs out as a midbass, but the coil is 8 ohms. Will be crossing it over from 80 to 3500 hz in an active system, in door pods that are around .125 cubes. Ive never ran 8 ohms anything in my vehicle, so the amplifier I have will not provide the power I need at that ohm rating. On paper, it’s exactly what I want ( I realize real world isn’t always the same as my graphs tell me). Sometimes I will have to pull the sub out of my Jeep to make room for large loads I carry often, and they seem to be able to be crossed over a little lower then my normal 80hz when I do this. I can get an over sized amplifier to get my wattage, but wanted to run it by some of you who may have some better ideas to give me before I decide to do this.
 

 
Right. That was my second choice. when I’m running it through software, it doesn’t seem to graph out quite as well as the 8 ohm version In .125 cubes when I pull the subwoofer and try to extend it into the lower range. I’m probably over thinking it.
 
What are they crossed over at? I’m almost 100% sure that I will be running the same ones

I'm not sure. The Taramps DS800X4 doesn't have frequency points. So, you like the VFL's?

if you want loud, i'd highly recommend staying away from this driver. Its only loud enough to be a pair of desktop speakers.
