looking for a 8" sub for my buddies s-10

[dontbeaprix 10+ year member]

My buddy is trying to save space and go more stealth in his truck. Currently he has a older precision power 12" sub in a sealed box .(the ones with the flat front and the red bolt on them.) Anyways he is wanting to put a smaller sub downfiring , but still have pretty good blend of spl and sq. He wants to go ported this time. So One that takes a small enclosure is ideal and the hight of the box cant be any taller than 6-6 1/2 inches. He has 500w rms @ 2 ohms to feed it although the gain knob works well. We thought about an 8 . Options?

Also he is trying to keep cost down and wants to sell the ppi sub.

I thought about these but idk.

Just be careful not to overpower that TC too much, I have heard that their soft parts leave something to be desired, from more than one person.

That's dual 2 ohm it won't work.

If your friend is feeling adventurous, he could try one of those new skar 8" woofers.

He will buy whatever I tell him as he values my opinion and have built his entire system and has been happy thus far. I don't want him to be disappointed in output or sq of the new sub. He is going from a 12 to an 8, but being in a better box and ported should help. Granted it likely won't have the same output, but the sa8 might be close, just I know that they are designed for spl not sq. Trying to get a good mix of both for him. Also trying to get on a budget as he has the old sub to get rid of.

How much power can the id's and the re's handle daily? The description on the re's say they handle plenty more.
