[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 7761414, member: 587645"] the reason im using an 8 inch for my HT is because my livingroom is **** near perfect for using a small sub. it is a small ish room with a sloped roof. and the slope is highest where the TV is. when i built the 6.5 tang band enclosure i had the sub behind the couch port facing along the floor sub facing up. but now i have the sub beside the TV. same port paralell to the floor sub facing up and i can make the windows rattle if i crank the power up. IF the price is right i might be able to get 2 8s for the home theater and another pair for the car. only problem is i dont want to take up the entire trunk with a box, and i am slightly limited on box size for the livingroom. and what should i use to model for a car? ive always heard to use Winisd. but given the current graphs i have, it doesnt seem to be too acurate considering everyone's reviews on the drivers i am modeling.... so far with the enclosure tuned to 28hz the American bass and the TC sounds seem to model the best. when i drop the tuning to 25 hz or lower the SA8 and W7 model the best. so looks like i need to find a new modeling program and test those woofers again. NONE of the subs model very well in a sealed box. Matt [/QUOTE]
