[QUOTE="stevem5000, post: 1601651, member: 549909"] I would go straight to RE8... About 2 years ago I posted the same question on this forum...listed about 4-5 8" subs I was interested in...almost all the responses I got referred me to the RE8... I had never heard of them...but one of the guys gave me a link...they were about $50 each... I have a Nissan truck with little jump seats in the back that fold out from the side walls...I wanted to use that space for speakers...I built boxes to fit inside that space which gave me just under 1cu ft for the sub and about .4 cu ft for a 6x7 Boston speaker... I powered the subs with a small Sony amp...my Alpine HU powers the other speakers... I wasn't looking for high volume...no deep thumpa thumpa...I just wanted to fill out the lower end and put some "weight" on the floor... I have been VERY happy with the RE8's...my base is very solid all the way down... My amp low passes at 200 and I have the 6x9 in the rear highpass at 120... Most posters on this forum would say I don;t have it right...but for what I listen to and how I like my music, it's just right... Get the RE8's...I guarentee you won't be dissapointed... Good luck Steve [/QUOTE]
