Any Experience With CT Subs?

I couldn't find their box recommendation. Are you looking at the new 8 that they just released? The DB-SA2508. What does VAS mean? I'm dumb that way, but at least I know it.

I posted a screenshot of the box recommendation from the owners manual

I like the SSA F8L and Ampere recommendation personally. I’m not a fan of CT. Those DB’s look nice too.

These are the second version of the CT Meso 8. I think they came out in 2020 or 2021. I've watched some good videos of them.

Suit yourself. IMO they have a really bad track record but if you really feel they have got their shit together finally go ahead and send them your money.

My friend is trying to talk me into 4 VFL 10's in the same box. That would take the cone area from 200 sq. inches up to 312 sq. inches. The subs are also rated at 800 rms. whereas the 8's are rated at 600 rms.

What was your port tuning?

I'm pretty sure it was 33 hz.

I'd trust American Bass way farther than CT, but do you have enough volume and port area for those bigger cones?

Why even change things now? What are you hoping to gain?

I’d go with 10s. I’d bet you wouldn’t notice any audible difference with any other 8s… with the same box and amp anyway.

You're right. Saving the money would probably be best thing to do.
