AA 8 or American Bass XD8 or RE8 or DAD KMH8

[Bassin Brandon]

OK, I have narrowed my choices down to 4 subwoofer choices for the new system for my car.

Ascendant Audio Assassin 8

American Bass XD8

RE Audio 8

DAD KMH 8

I haven't heard much about the DAD's, so if anyone knows more please clue me in.

Other than that please tell me which sub you think I should go with, I will be putting 4 of them into the build, I am looking to move some air....they won't have anything infront of them so xmax won't be an issue.

I would also like to know if you could suggest an amp for whichever sub you think is best.

Thank you all!

so you dont have room for a couple 12s but you want to run 4 8s? where are you going to fit them ha ha? if it was me i would probably go with the xd8 or the DAD 8

ok, yeah I am leaning towards the xd8s tbh, the others a pretty pricey.....

Once I have the box plan made you will see how they are gonna fit haha

If you're looking to save a few bucks, the AB's are solid. I did some testing with them. They couldn't keep up with the SA's or the Atomics, but they're a good sub.

I wouldn't give em more than 500 apiece though, so look for a clean 2k. An AB 120.1 would be a good match if you can find one used and you're into matching gear.

hehe.

Nope. All gone. Only one I have left is a single that I blew the triple joint on by beating on it with 2k for an hour. Lol.

Which one was louder, the SA or the Atomics in your testing? Which one sounded better? Thanks in advance. Sorry for the hijack, OP. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

In MY testing, the Atomic was louder on the same power and same enclosures. Would be a more fair fight with the SPL coil in the SA though. They both sound great and hit the lows really well. You really can't go wrong with either. They're at the top of the 8" food chain as far as I'm concerned.
