Replacement 8" sub meeting these specs

[drwang 10+ year member]

My Dad's Ford Expo's Mach Audio subwoofer stopped working. I will be removing the stock 8" subwoofer and need some help finding a suitable replacement for the stock enclosure.

The only sub I've found so far that meets the requirements is the MTX Thunder4500 8" :

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-BPWdxhzxcW8/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=520&tab=essential_info&i=236T4508#Tab

And the spec requirements are:

# 8" 4-ohm subwoofer

# power range: 80-100 watts RMS (b/c stock amp is rated ~85rms)

# sensitivity: 86.6 dB

# top-mount depth: 3-3/4" (most important)

THANKS!

Found another option with this kicker comp 8" that might work:

Go with these if your looking to save your money:

or

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=264-854

Either one will make your jaw drop in how good they sound, and what you payed for. Both regardless are better than any Kicker 8" woofer, or Mach Audio 8" woofers.

The mach 5, and the parts express woofers all have mounting depths that won't fit in the stock enclosure.

Kicker isn't all that bad, I used the old black square 12" L7 back in the day, and it produced some loud bass but give up a little sound quality,still not all that bad.

I'm throwing in another option, the Fosgate Punch 8".

The rainbow x-line will fit in that space.

It is about 2.5" deep IIRC

You're absolutely right, the maw 8" doesn't...I just looked for the maw10 and that doesn't fit either.

I am hoping it does soon though....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have a kicker comp 8, sounds good but the low end definetely lacks. Mine has 100 watts going to it.

The rainbow speakers most likely are out of my budget. I won't have money to replace all of the speakers so I don't really see a point in getting an expensive woofer to match the stock speakers. But thanks for throwing out that option and that rainbow x-line depth of 2.5" is really thin.
