Did you read this review on SQ subs or are you an idiot just babbling?

lol.

im sorry my friend. i read that when it came out.

do your homework a bit more. all the speakers involved in that review had nothing to do with sq. they were intro line drivers. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

2) No deeper than 6" mounting depth

5) Can't cost more than $200

I would say JLaudio w7 or maybe the boston acoustics pro series.

if that is not your goal. then just buy something like a Fi, or a RLP, MAG, type arrgh, kicker l7, w6v2, or whatever makes your dick hard.

Many would disagree that some of those subs are not capable of sonic fidelity. Two of them don't apply, since he's looking for 8's or 10's. The W6v2, for example, is an excellent sounding driver...definitely top shelf performance when properly installed. And the L7 has been used to win World Championships in some of the toughest and most highly scrutinized (sound wise) classes in competition, as I'm sure you are well aware.

To the OP, depending on the output of the amplifier (I don't recall off hand what it is and at what impedances), but the Scanspeak 23W/4557T might be right up your alley;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First off I am a Semi Pro in IASCA SQ. So the questions that I am asking are not coming from a complete bone head. LOL!! Also, I do have some background in db drag, so I have bass in my veins as well.

To start off I'll give a little thought process background. In SQ you want all of the frequencies coming from the front of the vehicle. Secondly you obviously want everything to sound good. Because of enclosure size most subwoofers end up in the back of vehicles these days. If you study sound at all you know that you arent supposed to localize pure tones below 100 Hz. In music we rarely get pure tones, so there is some localization to the rear if that is were the subs are placed. So how do you get the bass up front? In the past a few guys have put subs on top of the dash. My two homies in Team Audionutz have subs under their arm rest in their Dodge's.

A little over a month ago I ripped out the cubby hole below my AC controls (2005 Altima 3.5SE). Below the controls is room for a 0.6 cube or smaller SEALED enclosure. The sub would be firing down at the ****** hump for a load. I have four amplification options; 270 @ 4, 340 @ 4, 520 @ 2, and 1050 @ 4.

Ok, so thats what I have, here is what I need. I need the 8 to play down to 20 Hz and up to at least 50 Hz. If you know the IASCA disc there are 4 tracks that get low, ask for tight bass, and ask for excellent output. I have to have the best SQ at all times!!

So far in my quest I have tested two very nice 8's; the Critical Mass SS82 and the Elemental Designs 9KV.3. The eD was by far one of the most musical subs I have ever listened to, it just lacked the needed output below 35 hz. The C-Mass is a beast and is exactly what I need.

So, why am I on here? I am on here because I was told the 1008 is the junk. Is it? Can I seal one up with the amplification that I have, and will it do what I need it to do?

I have experience installing a few focal models as well as most of the other "mainstream" brands mentioned here. Personally, i'm running jbl gto in one car set-up for a cheap daily driven sq type set-up, and stereo integrity bm's in my other. (i may as well also admit that i also own a car with 3 mtx 9500s in it and one with 2 L7 12s... not so sq there---- but it's hard to fight with myself over what sq is)

I can highly recommend giving one of the focals a try (not sure your price range here) if you don't care too much about your money- otherwise i'd really recommend just spending most of your money on the front stage and on quality processing and take your time experiementing with whatever woofer you do decide on- virtually anything decently "ok" can produce 30-90 hz linearly and cleanly in the right installation.

as far asthe diamond d6 which was recommended---- in a properly designed sealed encosure doesn't posess the sq of the $33 jbl gto series woofers i run in my A6.

Go with a 3" sub of any kind. I heard those are the quickest responding subs ever. Much more quick than 8's.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif
