Can't find them really anymore but I love the soundsplinter rli-8's

ran some for a while and they get super low and loud at the same time

I have dd 1508s and I heard cadence 8s and owned sa 8s. The sa 8s have a big motor but a paper thin cone the cadence 8s weren't that impressive love my dd 8s I beat 4 cvr 12s last week it was hillarious.

Nate and I did 143.2 @32 with 2 SA8s on 1500rms. Haven't had experience with anything else

The DDs have, like many out there, the ability to get loud. They are however very bandwidth limited if a significant enclosure volume is not readily available. With the site-recommended 0.5-0.9 cubic feet, you won't be spanning an entire octave using any combination of port area/ port length @ even +/- 5dB. It's not alone there.....most "bigger" 8s act that way. If you have somewhere close to 1.25-1.75 total cubic feet available, the proper waveguide can likely be built to yield a one octave bandwidth @ +/-3dB or less. Even that is a blanket statement because of possibly geometry conflictions of that volume.

sunfire hrsj8 is hands down best 8" on the market and no sub on par. BNIB price is around $200-250 depending if you buy through ebay or direct.
