Help Me Choose 8s

My dimensions changed due to my wife said. I'm still going 8s. Would 37wide 15high 15 deep still work

Are they any assembled in USA with China parts

I doubt it. Maybe, Hutchinson or CT.

I would say so, just as long as the box doesn't need to be shrank too much for port orientation and clearance. That's about 3.7 cubes internally with 6 sides.

3- 8's should work great in those dimensions.

CT will not be assembled in USA. Most Chinese company you can find. SSA requires smaller boxes

Depends which 8s I go. The F8L and Crossfire C5 and Sundown SA8 and X all look good to me. Might not get the DD cuz there very expensive here in Canada

Just get the F8L or SA. I really do think those are the best for your application. Jacob at sundown had always said he loves 8’s and he builds good ones.

Just pick a Chinese sub and run with it.

Say I'm gonna choose between the sundown SA8 and X8 but power won't increase and will stay at 1200rms for the pair. Which would be louder?

SA8 will sound louder to your ear, but the X will be louder on a DB meter.

Just to really frazzle your decision a tad more......

Like how much more louder in db? Any numbers you expect? And even though power is same on both the x8 will be louder

So are you still deciding what 8s to buy?

Check out the date; I've never met an audio fiend that waits 4.5 years to get the "right" one.
