[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8793824, member: 673702"] Looking for a pair of budget 8" subs to fill in the low end. They'll be going in a ~1cuft sealed enclosure (.5cuft/sub) under the rear seat of a Honda Ridgeline. I have 6.25" of depth to work with, but that's really ~5.25" to allow some clearance for the pole vent. Trying to stay around $100 or less per sub. Haven't decided on the amp yet ([URL='https://www.caraudio.com/threads/budget-5-channel-amp.610767/']see my other post regarding amps[/URL]), but figure on around 500wrms total for the subs. I listen to a wide variety of music and I'm not a bass head. I prefer "neutral" sounding systems. Right now I'm looking at these subs: [URL='https://cerwinvega.com/v84dv2-vega-series-8-750-watt-dvc-subwoofer-4-ohm.html']Cerwin Vega Vega series ~$85[/URL] [URL='http://www.imagedynamicsusa.net/_files/ugd/d53db0_e453f3cfeea34daebf016a2f1a57f0eb.pdf']Image Dynamics ID - $105[/URL] [URL='https://nvx.com/nvx-vsw84v2.html']NVX VSW84V2 - $60[/URL] Good choices? Is ID still a good brand? I know it's not the same company since Eric Stevens left, but they were still making decent products last I heard. I assume Cerwin Vega is still a solid company. NVX is a newer brand but they seem to get solid reviews and are known for delivering a good value, but will the sound quality be there? FWIW, I spoke to NVX tech support about the FS on the sub, 53hz as listed on NVX and other sites is incorrect - the correct FS is 36hz, which is the spec per the owner's manual. [/QUOTE]
