Been out the game for awhile (help with subs)

[sthib 10+ year member]

How's it going. I been out of car audio for a most 4 years now and I am seeing a bunch of new stuff coming out. I have a 08 silverado crew cab and wanted advise on some subs I just don't know what is good nowadays since they have so much new stuff on the market. I seen the sa 8s and they are looking promising but I am worried about them getting low enough. My power range is 1000-2000+ watts any suggestions?

Kinda want to keep it under rear seat and am willing to make seat lifting block.

Thanks

What kind of budget are you on?

Ab vfl 8 I think it is?

B2 AS 8

DD 1508 or DD 2508

SA 8 gets my vote tho.

Also, don't worry about SA-8s getting low, they will do it. A couple of them on about 1500 watts or so of clean power would be nice

the vfl 8's get low as well , but that will be all in the box

Budget isn't really an issue and yes I have confidence in my boxes I build. Just what you think would be a good tuning for the sa 8s I never messed with 8s before.

Probably will be aero ports

Also needs to sound good not in it just to get loud.

I always said I would never buy a prefab box but this look kinda convincing. I use to have a ssd 12 back when they were still just 800wrms and I loved it this makes me think about that.
