Need a beefy 8" woofer for SPL

[RamenNoodles 10+ year member]

Well this past weekend, TEAM BK opened up the challenge of "crazy 8's" which is to take 1 8" woofer, 1 battery, and 1 amp and try and see how loud you can get it.

This will be strictly SPL tuned, I could care less how it sounds otherwise. I will be using my current GP3000D Pro but greatly turned down. Probably at 4ohms which will be about 8-900 rms or at 2 ohms at around 1500-1500 rms.

My car peaks at 52-53 hz so I want to tune the box around the upper 40's I do believe. Maybe even 50.

I dont want to spend much money at all on this 8" driver. So the dd1508 is out of the question unless I can get a used one. Im looking for something $100 or cheaper.

Anyone got some good insight into what I could use?

Exactly the company I had my eyes on. I found the direct number on the threads and I will be giving them a call tomorrow about the 8" ULTRA.
