My 8" Challenge is COMPLETE

[CAMSHAFT 10+ year member]

In early November I started my quest for an 8" sub that I could use as the lone sub for IASCA sound quality judging. I wanted this sub to be able to play all of the sub bass notes on the disc. If you know the IASCA disc there are a few Organ pedal tones that are insane low. So as I reviewed the subs I compiled the results on NissanClub. The link below contains those results.

First of all this is under my conditions using only a limited selection of different wattage amounts, a same sized (- eD) sealed box facing the front of the vehicle, and only my ears. I am a three season veteran of IASCA with two top four placings at IASCA Finals. The ears that I have arent golden, however I am a musician. So, am I qualified, probably not, however I think I know a thing or two.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Now this is my opinon so I am not going to argue with any of you. If you disagree, that's fine. I am just sharing with the masses.

Very interesting, would have loved to see how the SS Rl-i8 or TC 8 would have compared...

Yeah me too. I am just not made of money. I had to cut it short. I wanted to test one of those and also a CDT driver.....

How much do the DD 1008s run for?

Nice comparison there; I enjoyed reading it. Is space an issue that keeps you from running ported? I bet you could squeeze out the lows much better and still retain the SQ you want with the DD sub.

so, you put all the woofers in the incorrect size enclosure, and compared them like that?

or, was it the correct size for one woofer, and then incorrect for the rest?

Nice test, it seems like in every test that comes out the big name companies pwn the internet brands.

Nice read. Thanks

My only suggestion is if you could put the prices of each sub on there. Otherwise very informative!

Its a sealed enclosure. Much more forgiving that if he were to try to put them all in the same ported box.

If I'm not mistaken it was the correct size to fit his application...a .65 sealed enclousure for a custom kick install and then what sub would work best in that size.....

The enclosure size was kept within params for each driver.......

daym, i would really love to know how the SD208 stacks up with the 1008...

they look very similar and the SD even has a slightly bigger motor...but that'll be interesting matchup...

^^^ Designs are soooo similar, I cant see how there could be that big of a difference.........
