Resonant Engineering 8" Subwoofer - RE8 - any experience here?

[kingrukus 10+ year member]

I purchased two Resonant Engineering 8" RE8 subwoofers and was hoping to build a relatively small sealed enclosure and add some bass to my car.

Does anyone know the specs on these things? How much space do they sound good with in a sealed enclosure? How much power do they like? Any other valuable info on them?

Thanks!

the old school ones or the new REX 8's?

Old school ones.

I remember back when they first came out the dudes in Termpro gave it a thumbs up in their reviews, said they're pretty efficient, sounds good and don't need a bunch of power. Kinda like what I feel about the older JL W0s.
