choose my 8s

[jeff45 10+ year member]

i have a box for 3 8's. .95 cubes total with a mounting depth of 4 1/2 inches, but i can get the depth down to 5 inches if i have to. i was going with TB's but they are out of stock at parts express. i am looking for a bit of bass but i want it loud. so help me out choosing 3 8s and an amp to match them up with.

thanks

jeff

You could go with 3 RE 8's ..they are dual 4's and wire them at 2.67 or .67 depending on amp....They'll like upto about 450 watts each...but work well with less power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif They are 4" mounting depth...they like sealed and that size box would be perfect....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Maybe a Kicker ZX750.1? Ive installed lots, and most do well over 900 @ 2 ohms, so since itll be seeing 2.67, you can expect a good 250w per moofer
