8" sub suggestion

[Jrobison918]

This is one of my first posts so I'll take this opportunity to say hi to everyone. I'm Josh. Anyway, I'm helping out with a project that will be for 2 8" subwoofers ported in around 1.5 cubes altogether. Looking for suggestions. The only ones I was able to offer was the DC M3 and the Sundown SA. They are just looking for old fashioned SQL. Wattage will be between 1500 and 2000 rms. Would love to hear about all your preferences and experiences with these 8's. Thanks in advance, guys!

You are in OK. Look at DDs if you can double that box size.

If not SAs or X if they are still out there.

I think DD's may be out of the price range. Are you talking Fi X? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I've been out of the game since like 2008 haha.

DD cost just as much as what you are looking at. The 608 would be very comparable.

Sundown X8 but they are hard to come by and priced high for what you get.

Alright, cool. I'll take a look. Maybe they'll like the idea of DD. I do.

this is the list... my fav. 8's are the american bass xd8.... they out performed the sa8 v1, v2's get down on them but at price point the xd's really shine... im currently running two xd8's on a aq1200... and have ran on a brutus 1700... they laugh at their 300w rating... the sa's have a better low end... as do a few subs he named in that list but over all xd 8s where my winners for a sq application...but they are in a member made custom enclosure....

TC-sounds Epic. Great driver, calls for .44 cu ft sealed per driver. Gets low and sounds great. $300 for the pair at parts express. They're dual 2 ohm woofers, so you'll run a final load of 2 ohms. So if you're thinking of an amp that does 2kW into 1 ohm, it'll be perfect for the setup.

just curious, does anyone know if the american bass xd-8 and the massive audio summo-8 are the same? They look identical but i can get the summo cheaper.

I think the cabs of the 04's are a little too different than the 11's. I think it runs 2007 to 2013 are the similar backseats. I appreciate the offer, though!
