Are there good 8" SQ Woofers?

[wilsman00 10+ year member]

Been looking around and haven't found much. I will most likely have to go up to a 10 but I am wondering if people have heard anything good that they would recommend. My research and searching hasn't shown too much. Heard a good thing or two about the CDT line but the 8" is like 380 or something like that and is far too pricey to me.

I just have a small space to use in a small car and I really don't need that much output. Just some quality lows.

Thanks

Soundsplinter RL-i, JL 8w6, Audiopulse EPIC (pretty much the same as the RL-i)

check out the CMass SS82, it's a 2ohm driver. I have them and they are amazing. Retail is $199. I don't even use the 12's when listening daily. You will need about 300+ watts though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I have mine in about .3 cu. sealed by the way

Yeah right now I have 250 watts but I would be willing to get a better amp is I found an 8 that fit the bill.

Budget for sub would be like 200-250 tops.

For now if I can't find an 8 I'll go for a IDQ10...I think heh.

I wasn't aware JL made a 8w6. Current model run they only have a 10" in the 6. The 8" is in the W7 or the W3 which I don't want.

They used to make the 8w6. Good luck finding a pair if you want 2.

Id have to say the Premier shallowmounts, rms is like 300 peaks 500, a couple of those and your car should sound really good!

I meant the 8w7, but yeah, as someone mentioned, they used to make the w6.

I really only looking into getting 1 8". Don't plan on more than that.

The mount space is not small enough where I require a shallow mount. I'd rather not sacrifice any quality for that much space reduction, but I am just assuming there would be some.

I heard the first run of JL 6's arn't nearly as good as the v2/v3 breed in terms of SQ, but I could be mistaken.

A Rainbow Vanadium would be my choice, but it might be out of your price range...

Kicker L7 8" if sealed can take plenty of power and sound great.

Jl 8" w7 my brother is running this is a n extra cab tacoma, it fills the bottom end, plenty for most people.

Image dynamics makes a 8" ID woofer.

KIcker CVR comes in an 8" gets good reviews ( on larger sizes) and would work with the power you already have.
