best bang for the buck 8"

[leonsv 10+ year member]

i'm giving each of my 10's 400 clean watts...
chad said that the assassins should be able to take up to 600 each if you're not distorting it...

i'm guessing the 8 should be able to take 400 daily easily...

for what you got, i'd try the tb neo 8's just for fun...

what are some advantages of the neo 8" compared to the rest?

Less weight really...
If your only giving them around 170, I would probably go with the TBs. I wouldnt give the assassins any less than 200 each. Ive given mine 600 though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i hear ya, but the assassins have a reccomended power of 150 watts and a 300 rms... and weight in a truck is basically meaningless so paying $5 extra persub just for weight is useless...so the neo is out

and as of now the tb and the assassins are tied... but that 3 year warrenty looks really good...

also the amp i'm using now is temporary, it's a 2 channel thats going to be replaced by a mono that'll do 1500 rms...

I think what they are saying is: You dont have enough power for the Assasins So you would be under powering them. The neo's will actually be louder than the assasins because you would be giving them the proper power.

If your replacing your amp, Assassins for sure. Run them each in their reccomended .4 cubes sealed and youll get the SQ you want out of them with descent SPL..
