Sa8's have proven to be pretty badass

SA8's, E8's, a pair of ID8's, Soundsplinter RL-i8, all much cheaper than JL.

None of those are remotely similar. The 8w7 is in a league of it's own.

If buy over priced then yes a league of its own. If your talking about SQ then the ID8's, SA8's, and the RLi8s are all in the same league for much cheaper.

im not talking SQ because i highly doubt an ID8 will get even close to the output of a jl8w7. Though i know if i wanted the best SQ i would deff go ID no questions asked.

everyone says great things about SA8s but will they get close in output? i have no experience with SA at all.

how would the Soundsplinter RL-i8 compare as far as output? 18.3 xmax looks nice but its only asking 300w rms so will it get as loud?

The woofers I listed are all SQ woofers. If you want SPL get a different woofer.

I'm guessing the sa8's should dominate a dubya 7 in output, jacob ids breaking 150 with a pair of them in his jeep and 1 beleive did a 154 with 4 of them out of his crx. DD1508's would be another option but for the price I would go with the sa8's

How many said woofers have you actually used? Without lying.... I've used every single one except the SA8, but I have used the 1508 which is very similar and it's definitely not a SQ woofer. The 8w7 will play lower/louder than any woofer mentioned. Oh, have you seen the price of an RLi8, yeah it's pricey.

I highly doubt you could hit 150 with a pair of 8w7's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I run 2 SA-8s and and I listened to a buddy's system that had similar power to JL 8w7 and SA no doubt has more output!

And? Who cares! Everything is not about SPL. I bet the 8w7 will win an SPL contest at 20hz, which is much more impressive IMO.
