SPL-Sound Pressure Level-(Loudness)

And as for 8 and 10 inch subs, the only way I would have either of them is if I absolutely had no room for 12's. Just my opinion

Why is that? What 's the attraction to 12's everyone seems to have?

I wanted 8's or 10's because I listen to alot music with fast-super fast beats.

Besides my stereo can already handle the deep stuff.

All I want is my beats to sound full. My stereo will not hits fast beats in songs like

"Where's your head at"- Basement Jaxx and "Aint never learned"-Moby

Two of my most fav songs and my stereo can't handle them.

I'm to the point of buying the cheapest sub+amp out there...only to know I'll be disappointed. I'm not doing it for compitition..I just want to hear and feel the power

over the engine. I'm a freeway driver.

12's are just the way to go for everyday listening, and certain 12's are great for comps.if you have the room for a twelve or two then why not?

that the thing, I want a sub, but want it to take up little space, I just feel a 12 might be too big for me.

Originally posted by Jmac You would think with all the great 8" drivers scheduled to be released in the coming months, people would actually put away this crap.

 

Anyways, he said he wants quick bass and an 8s and 10s usually sound better in the upper octave than the 12 of the same model.

 

When do you plan on buying the sub ?

 

Also, PunchZ = horrible

I plan on buying a sub as soon a possible but that may not be till next month or March.

Resonant Engineering RE8 - Less than $99 (Also see this review)

Elemental Designs E8a - $underdetermined (Expected to be around $125)

JL Audio 8W7 - Expected to be around $400

Super eights?? hummm... I'll check'em out.

I just might wait, and just get an amp. So should they be out in March or April?

 

[CyberWolf 10+ year member]

So whar amp do you think will power that RE 8'' nicely. Sad there are no offical specs..

There are non-official specs in the review link I provided above //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

that's right I saw those...

300 watts, right? forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

 

[CyberWolf 10+ year member]

All right about a year later, I'm back and I'm ready to buy my setup.

How did these super 8's fair?

I still want an 8'' or 10'' sub, though.
