...lol

for my mini cooper. not much room, the stock harma kardon speakers are **** nice btw...

but im looking for decent loud bass inside and i want it to hit low as good as it can. i mean i want it to hit lows good.

im thinkin 4 8s tuned low.

what should i do? RE RE's?

keep in mind again, i have like no room to work with for the box lol.......

First off I dont think you can get that low with 8s, second if you dont have that much room a single 15 or 12 would suit your needs much better. Those would get way lower and save space. Look into a DD3500 or a TC3000 in a low ported box, that should work well.

i dont want to have to have alot of power and a bigger box...idk what ima do though yet

RL-i 8/TC-1000 8

Yes, im biased

I had one ported to 43hz, you can ask JAZN,ighettoboyi and Dalucifer how low and clean it was tuned so high

But i have one and i love it, it pounds off 100W.

8's will get as low as a 10, 12, or 15. Size does not determine how low a speaker will play.

ya thats what i want with this system, the explorer will be my ungodly loud spl system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

True, Fs determines how low a speaker will get. Heres an example.

AA Assasin 8: Fs=46.5 htz

AA Assasin 12: Fs=23.1 htz

See now?

nice

I'd say Tang Band Neo 8s from PE. While you're there pick up some aperiodic membranes and use those to compensate for enclosure space.

you're retarded

 

[Atimm693 10+ year member]

you're retarded

Let me clarify, a woofer with a lower Fs will produce lower frequencies easier than a woofer with a higher Fs, and because 8s tend to have a higher Fs than say a 15, they will not produce the lower notes as easily.

 

[maldecido33 10+ year member]

they tend to

you implied no that no 8 will ever get as low as a speaker of larger size

that is completely false
