Best Subwoofer in the LEAST amount of space

4 SD8's $120 each for b-stocks
Sundown Audio SD2-8 dual 4 B-stock - EMF Car Audio formerly Sundown Only

2.3ft^3 for ported enclosure

4.75" mounting depth and they can be mounted directly against the enclosure wall eliminating the need for venting space behind the motor assembly

those handle 300 watts i WANT 2K the reason im saying 1500 is because im realizing it isnt going to happen haha thanks though =)

yeah not sure what amp you're running but 4 of those wired down would be 2ohms which I figured your amp would be around 1200 watts

just realized you said "4 of them" my my bad i was thinking 2 or 3 like suggested, but that dosnt sound half bad. it is INDEED another possibility... cause say there a lil under rated and can handle idk 500RMS that would be my 2k

and im not sure what i'm going to run either. i want something that has a matching highs and mids amp... as well as a small foot print for both and an even smaller for the highs and mids amp...would like some kind of sound quality out of my highs and mids.... so i dont want a company who makes beast sub amps and ****** highs and mid amps....ill have to see what i can find.....was considering Rockford Fosgate if im not mistaken they have a pretty decent sized under rated 1500 as well as a small highs and mids amp...

I have 2 VFL 8's that I could sell you. They are 5.5" deep and can take 1500-1600. Mylows10 was running his on that. They require .65cf ported. I'm asking $240 shipped for both of mine. Here is the link

What you're trying to do just ain't going to happen. The dimension you gave only nets you 2.8 cubic ft before any displacement. Subtract .3 to .5 for port displacement(around 35hz 20in port area, no way your getting to 30hz without sacrificing tons of airspace) and .2-.4 for subwoofer(s) and you have 2.0-2.2. A high powered single 10 is the best option. High power 8's could work as well. You just don't have the room for anything else that wouldn't be a waste of money. IMO.

'dont **** on my dreams son aint nobody got time for that. =) haha yea i know its gonna be a pain but when i figure it out its gonna be sick though! ALSO with aeroports partially in an coming out of the box wouldnt that save me port displacement giving me more box? cause i can pull a panel off and i got a 6" space going to the side to aero port into

not making any quick moves, thanks for the idea though! also was his box tuned to 40hz? cause subs can play higher notes easier then low ones... you lose power handling as you drop HZ if im not mistaken and i wanna go low

 

[tat2bass 10+ year member]

i think he said he had his box at like 30-32Hz and had them each receiving 700-800w

just look for a woofer with a low Vas and Cms. that will dictate whether or not it will work in a smaller enclosure.
