And it's proven to gain efficiency with more airspace as long as the xmax isn't exceeded.

2 x8s would still hammer on ~2k

Talked to sundown today, there suggestion was 2 SA-10's with a SAE-1500 amp.

SA-10 ported 1.0-1.25cuft 35htz 6" mounting depth

X-8's ported .75-1.0 cuft 35htz 7" mounting depth

i know the SA-10 s will fit but unsure if i can fit the X's. Fox box shows 2.0cu/ft tuned to 36htz 7.5 " mounting depth with 6.5" magnet . X-8 magnet is 6.93"width with 7" mounting depth. Will have to order and mount box and take measurements to see if X's would fit. Any other 8'S to consider

Keep in mind if you add a 8 baffle that will increase the depth 3/4 of a inch. DD 8s are on point. Cost will depend on your local dealer.

Being a downfire box it could also hurt me. what is the front and rear clearances on an X8 woofer?

The X-8 doesn't have a pole vent so no rear clearance is necessary.

nope I gained when i shrank my box airspace for my old setup. Didnt lose any low end either just more output overall. Xmax wasnt even close to being reached.

Like I said it all depends in sub and design some subs like smaller boxes tc9 my old mb quart pwe 15 1.5 cube sealed was amazing

Fox box shipped today,probably see late next week. pretty sure X-8's are going to fit so advice on power for these 2 X-8D4. Ive come up with so far:

Ampere AA-2000.1

Sundown SVC-2000 Bstock

Twisted 1.8K

Synergy 15.1 WFO

Budget is 500 any one of these over the other or better suggestions welcome

The CT Meso 8s are solid too. And half the price of the X8 if I recal.

Just a heads up. I recently built an under seat box for 2 x8s and it wasn't easy getting the motors to fit. The angle of the top of the box makes it tight. I cutout clearance holes in the top and used 1/8 inch birch ply to seal it up giving me an extra 3/4 inch of room and still cleared it by just 1/8 inch.

Thamks for the heads up they should fit according to fox i needed a 5/8" seat lift for the box i went with 2 1/2 so if i have to make a baffle hopefully it works out

thanks for another option with the CT Meso 8"
