Opinions needed on 8s

They use a 2.5 inch dual 4 ohm copper voice coil, a copper shorting ring, 2 layer foam surround with heavy duty pressed paper cone, a large 6.5 inch spider with integrated ribbon tinsel leads, and a double 1 inch thick stacked motor with a bumped back plate and pole venting.

Here are the t/s with both coils in series no break-in.

revc 8 ohms

fs 40hz

qes .44

qms 3.58

qts .39

vas .252 ft^3

bl 22.6

sens 82.8 1w1m

The low vas means these subs can work in a very small box with good results. The WMD8 will only really shine ported and sealed enclosures are not recommended. I recommend .5 to .75 per sub tuned to 40hz.

Get the 1508s i have 2 on only 600 watts and they are amazing!

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go ahead and go with the DD 1508's. When do the WMD 8's come out?

Do what you want, but the WMD8 looks like the new big thing

Well the WMD 8" shouldn't even compare to the DD 1508.. Different coil sizes, magnets and frames.. Overall I like the wmd 's. I may still try to do 20 of them walled if I can

why even compare each? the dd1508 smashes all other 8's. it's amazing purely amazing

i've heard it in person. definitely way more impressive than people mention it to be. i remember everyone was talking about the sounsplinter 8's. i heard those. did not compare to the 1508's. so 1508's will always have my vote.

Thats the response you'll get from people that haven't tried everything else out there before

OK then, when can I get a pair and how much is gonna cost me?

If they are only available in dual 4 ohm then its not an option for me. I want two and my amp is not 1 ohm stable.

you guys make me laugh...why don't you get a real 8 with a 3" by 3" voice coil...and a big enough motor where you have to run the sub inverted or build the box around the sub...wait till you see mine.
