[QUOTE="dragonrage, post: 7238172, member: 574321"] You can push 100000 of them if you want. The more you push, the less of their total capacity you will be using, but you WILL be putting out more bass with more subwoofers, even with the same power. It's more efficient to have your sound coming from more cone area. Going for 8s because of lack of power is... well, stupid. You will get FAR less output from them, even if you're using relatively more of their power capacity. Look at the sensitivity of 8s... way lower. Way less cone area, way less efficient. For output capability, you want: a) Make sure what you pick can handle your amp b) Look for the most displacement (Vd) c) Look for the highest sensitivity, make sure it's measured in the same unit as some are 1W/1m and some are 2.83v/1m (which is 1w at 8 ohms, 2w at 4 ohms, 4w at 2 ohms...) Stick your box requirement wherever in there that it should go to you. [/QUOTE]
