Another 8" Thread

Well I'm doing it again I'm changing my setup to something smaller. I currently have 2 12" SI BM's currently running 500watts a piece. Anyways I want to downgrade to something smaller, 8inches to be exact.

This is gonna be setup for my S2K. I currently am running Rainbow CAL27's Tweets and Hertz HV165L Drivers, I'm gonna downgrade the tweets to CAL25. I need an 8" subwoofer to compliment my comps up front. Mind you I don't want in your face hard pounding bass. Just some added bass to my nice front stage. This is a convertible so that factor that in too.

Here are my choices from what I read and I search around the forums:

Image Dynamics ID8V.3

AA Assassin 8"

Soundsplinter RL-i8

Audiopulse Epic 8"

I'm more then likely to run just 1 of these since I want the trunk space in my car. I need opinions of which you would choose and why. I would go preview them but most shops around here don't carry any of those brands (only cheap kenwood/pioneer/audiobahn crap). And I would have to drive far just to listen to one of them if they have any setup to preview.

Which would would be good to run with my setup. I'm into SQ as you can tell thats why I didn't put the DD1508's in there because the SPL orientation. Are there any others that you would recommend? Also, I might be getting a new amp to power them so first I need a sub, then I'll choose an amp. Any input would be helpful.

I DID DO A SEARCH but everything is vague so thats why I made a new topic.

 
I have ran the old Assassin 8's and they were nice drivers. I can only imagine that the newer AA subs are even better... If price is an issue, I say go for an old AA 8, if not the RL-i's are very nice looking drivers. And I've heard nothing but good reviews on those also.
