The L8's may be able too eek down to 40hz, but I don't think they will give you subwoofer-like output performance down there. I personally don't think you should go subless with them.

And, yes what JB was saying about putting the MR's in the kicks and MB's in the doors will yield better results then vice versa.

Also, there's a world of difference between a 6.5" dedicated MB and an 8." If you're looking for punch and dynamics, then I really don't think 6.5" will be worth a shit if you can fit an 8.

Kicks all day everyday and twice on Sunday's.

I couldn't get my 10" to fit there

If vented and installed correctly the L8's can and will play VERY low....Dave Brooks's truck made a believer of me on that...

As I said a sub would be optional, i forgot to say I'd still prefer one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Common dude, Brooks has A DOZEN of them! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I like the L8 and found it to be a very solid performer. But, the fact is that it's a simple paper cone driver with nothing really special in it's design. I know Scott has done what he could do to make the SRP on them more realistic, but for my money, he had better vent the VC or slap a neo magnet on them or something for their $500/pr price tag. Screw the trophies, that IB woofer is worth $250, IMHO. Yes I've used it and yes I put a lot of power on it and yes my doors are dead and yes I've used many other "top" midbasses on the market. FYI. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

not doubting you at all. Scott and me both agree that you should use a sub with any of our sets.

Optionally necessary? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I ran the L8 down to 40 hz second order and it just cannot do it like a champ. It's nice, it's plenty capable but it's not the holy grail. Also, when you start locating 40 cycles next to your legs the experience is ruined. You should feel those frequencies, not be able to point to them and say "hi there sub freq!" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wave.gif.002382ce7d7c19757ab945cc69819de1.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif IMHO.

i know what you mean. tRdoc said it was a waste for me to have 10"s in my doors and have them crossed high at 63hz... ^^that was basically my reason for doing so.

Geez, how much processing is involved in doing something like that and how close does he xover all of those drivers?

Gah...tis thread means no hope of subless front stage...was eyeing some cmass 8s in the doors, 6.5s in the kicks....but now seems like a moot point of the 8s in the doors are going to get me an additional 10-15 hertz tops.

sounds like a plan.

just add a slim sub or two behind your seats.

So the Bravox guy gets chastised for recommending Bravox, but when Dave Edwards recommends Hybrid everyone just agrees with him

In a McDonald's world, this thread would have looked like this;

I second the L8 or even the L6. Both can play very low with authority.

List some in addition to the brand you're repping? What you're doing is annoying and you look like a *******, fyi.

Hybrid = booms like so.

It apparently applies to Bavox, but not Holy Grail Audio....err, I mean, Hybrid Audio ?
