I'm impressed with my VFL8's. I have them on a Sundown SIA3500 and they take the power fine. I've never even smelled them once while playing music. I think that they are underrated subs. 148.9 @ 31 hz. isn't too bad for 4- 8's. The Mesos look nice to. I've just never ran them or heard them in person.
The 8” is a different animal compared to the 6.5”. You got a 2.5” coil which is pretty dang beefy for an 8” sub. Put those 6.5’s in your truck with the amp you have and you’ll blow the cones off if you push them hard lol.
