OP
well comparing a sundown 8" or w/e the sub above mentioned was against a jl 13tw5 i think the jl would take that competion cone area for one and can handle alot of power for a shallow mount.well we're talking about shallow mounts here so most 8s will be better.
power isnt everything...also the BM isnt even out yet. So pretty much you have 1 sub to argue with and it costs over 5 times as much as the e8...well comparing a sundown 8" or w/e the sub above mentioned was against a jl 13tw5 i think the jl would take that competion cone area for one and can handle alot of power for a shallow mount.
same with BM its a 12" and can handle 500rms per sub
