you can make 8's do anything that any other install of larger woofers can do...

I did it because nobody said I could.... and then the 8 boner took off, so I ripped it out...

8 RL-i 8s with about 2000 watts would be schweet!

Just b/c its an 8" doesn't mean it can't get low:fyi:

Install>sub

Only thing is you have to tune very low to get good low end extention. I'm running my 8 at 28Hz, and it drops as low as my 12LI used to. With such a low tuning you tend to lose the higher freq's so it won't be as loud though. Hope this helps..

Oh and by the way 8 rl- i's would be sick!!!

As far as positives all I'm hearing is this "WOW factor." What about a smaller woofer responding quicker to the imput because you have less cone area to move. Is WOW factor SLP talk for "hey look he's not running 2 12's? It seems that is almost the standard as far as car audio is concerned (not sure why). As it has been said many times before, its more important about the install. Larger speakers like the 15 sounds too boomy for me and lets EVERYONE know "hey look guys I have a very loud system, come steal all my stuff when I'm not around." I like the idea my installer has worked out for me, 2 8" maybe a third (because I hate being like everyone else) or a 10" with a very thoughout install, lots of dynamat and proper amplification. That way it will be as loud as I want it to be without letting everyone else know I've got humps. Just my 2 cents.
