No 8" driver is going to handle that application, and if you find one that does, it won't easily fit in your door. Why do you think you need to throw that much power at them?

no 8" driver will be able to use that power in the midbass 50hz~400hz range effectively, but overhead never hurt anything. dynamic power you wont be seeing anything near those numbers, epically when you level them out with the gain, but the amp will not even bat an eyelash at putting out less than those power numbers all day without warming up.

is it necessary? no. is it overkill? yes. but our stereos are all overkill and unnecessary. so if he has the money to burn, let him buy those huge amps for his midbass where 150~200w will be more than enough.

honestly? these so far would be great;

Hybrid audio tech

Seas

Morel

dynaudio

Peerless

dayton

hi-vi

focal

rainbow

image dynamics idq (if you can find them like me)

illusion audio (super rare)

B&C

thers tons out there. head to http://www.diymobileaudio.com - 8" for your front stage is the boner of all boners.

Tirefryr,

I really am into live music and live recordings,I go to live show's at least once a week. Replicating live music is a must for me and a Beeoooootch to get to sound authentic in a car/truck. So far I've found the more power given to the midbass region really helps with the live experience.

Req,

Great list, Seas, Peerless,Scan Speak are on my shortlist.

BTW are'nt most of those 8ohm drivers? If so It's 170 watts @ 8ohm with an Re of around 5.5 to 6ohm for most of those?it would be around 200watts, well within your stated power range not to just burn money?I've already done that with the amp's

These would be on my very very short list.

Hybrid Audio L8-These will handle a ton of power

Peerless SLS

The new JL ZR800 or JL Audio 8IB4 if you can find them

This will be a good read for you on the 8".

The mid from the Rainbow Powerline CS can handle it. It is only a 7" though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'd love for those that claim none of those drivers can handle that type of power to list the 8" drivers they've used and the power (actual, tested real world power) they've used. I find those statements to be quite amusing.

If you really think that amp puts out 340 watts all the time, you need to brush up on what an amplifier really does. No offense, it's just kind of a silly question IMHO/IME.

I do love my powerline CS 7" woofers...they're getting ~340w per side from my 4150xxk. Though they are also playing from ~50hz-2500hz or so. I expect real world i'm looking at more like max of 300w per side even though 340 is on tap. I was going to suggest them, but then i considered that it'd be a real shame to relegate them only to midbass duty //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif They are incredibly capable mids.

My ZX850.4 bridged is "supposed to do somewhere in the range of 425x2. I often wonder what I am actually seeing.

Either way, I think I feel confortable saying these mids will handle it w/o issue.
