Need recommendations for 2 8" Subs

[Rodge 10+ year member]

If everything goes right for me financially, I should be purchasing a 06 Toyota Tundra, Extended Cab sometime before spring. I found a custom Q-Logic box that will fit perfectly under the rear passenger side seat. Here are the box's specs:

TYPE 1 DUAL 8" DUAL SUB ENCLOSURE

• Woofer mounts to MDF baffle

• Subs share one chamber- .7 cu. ft. sealed volume

• Spring loaded terminal cup with 5-way binding posts

• ABS plastic enclosure is lightweight and strong

• Includes woofer mounting screws, poly fill, speaker wire

• 4 5/8" mounting depth

I need speaker recommendations. I'm looking for more SQ then SPL, but loud would be nice as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

RE8.. except build your own box if you can. I dont know if i'd trust a box built of plastic to sound good and be sturdy

Where can I get RE8s? I guess it would be better just to build my own box, be a hell of a lot cheaper too.

If you want 8's, ID8v3's would be a better option.

If you can fit more depth, Soundsplinter Rl-i 8" and Crystal CMP8's would be excellent aswell.

Oh yeah, I'm not very familiar with the short names you guys throw around for Subs...so make and model would be great.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Thanks.

Unfortunately mounting depth is definitely an issue. Here's a picture of that box under the seat. Not much room to spare at all.

RE8 would be my choice if you're getting an 8'

Ive got 2 Kicker Solobarics I'd sell for $175 shipped to the lower 48. They are older, but have only seen power for about a month (200w). PM me if interested.

Anyone have links to a site that sells RE8s? Also what kind of power handling do they have? What would be a good amp to power them actually?

Thanks again.

^^ thats for RE subs

Also it looks like you might be able to squeeze two of these 10's in there.

RE8 have an rms of 175, their sealed volume is .2 i think and .5 for ported. I have 4 of them in a 2 cuft box and they took 1000rms like champs untill the amp blew //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

I would do the soundsplinters like squeak recommended. Cant lose on those. Also the re 8's are decent too.
