i am using 3 hds208's off roughly the same power

they work great

I'd take surface area over excursion anyday.

You can't have much low bass in your situation. The lower you try to go the more output you will lose. I'd aim for slow rolloff around 40hz sealed or 35hz rolloff ported for more output than sealed if you can manage 2sq'

Excurrsion and cone area equal displacement. Displacement makes output

Yup, and i'd take a larger cone area with less excursion over a smaller cone that trys to make up for it with huge excursion.

You take the most displacement you can get in the space you want to give up. That's how my 8 can meter higher lower than a pair of cheap 12s

look into some of the DD 8's .....

I'm not saying that more displacement isn't better, but that getting it with a larger cone is easier, cheaper, and can be more reliable that attempting to get it with excursion alone.

An 8 inch driver with 16mm xmax gets 1037.7cc of displacement and a 12 driver with half the excursion still has more displacement with 1167.5cc.

All I'm tring to say is that the op shouldn't be trying to find a monster 8 if he can fit a 12, and the shallow 12 that I linked to should fit.

Now if he can fit a ported box for say Sundown's 6.5 sub firing out vs the 12 firing up, then i'll change my stance because of the port.

You're missing the point. I don't have room to mount something with a larger diameter...

Otherwise I'd be going for more cone area for sure.

What amp? I had two hds208's on a sq 2200 @.5 and they did well. But I doubt that clamped anywhere near 2200 after rise.

Using a b2 m1u now
