Nice...

I am looking at somes 8s as well.

I am looking at ID, ED, Alumapro, or Arc. Now I have to consider these. What kind of box are you going to put them in?

I'd rather see an RTA...but I look forward to any results. Just another sub to consider. I'll make my purchase on the 20th.

I saw you posting in the soundsplinter forum. What sent you away from teh rli-8s?

The Price. It's the exact same sub brotha. TC makes the SS subs. $100 compared to 160. Which would you choose? lol

Same things that;'s leading me to ID, ED...subs are a bit cheaper. The ID IDs are $400 shipped (qty = 4)through sound domain. The others are roughly the same.

The TC and AQ charge too much shipping and make it closer to $300. But less power handling as well.

Send one of those ID's 500W and see how well it takes it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Probably not to good in a 4th order bandpass box. I would just have to heave-ho the whole box on the pavement so I won't have a truck fire.

BUT....do you think they can play flat from 20-80. The ID can.

i highly doubt the ed and id can hold a candle to these bad boys in terms of output, sq may be equivalent...

anyways, i'm really thinking bout picking up a pair of these beast too...

TC only recommended a 3 inch port on them, don't you guys think a 4 would work better?

i'm thinking about putting a 6" on two of them...
