^ sealed box 8 better than the TC? W7 looks close but the TC looks a touch better.

Sundown SD8s I have 3 of them in about 1 cube net on 1400 watts and they are awesome. Very musical and keep up with just about any kind of music. They dig low and get reasonably loud for 8's. W7 may outperform them slightly but the SDs are way cheaper.

The IDQ is in my top 3. Epic, Q, W7

So are the SD's a definite no?

I saw you were looking at the sealed fiberglass enclosures. Why not do IB with something and lose no trunk space other than motor displacement?

I do like the SD but I don't think it fits here. These are 3 iconic 8s.

I think that corner will be the best acoustically in this case.

Depending on the woofer, couldn't you get a flatter low end response with IB than sealed? I'm assuming you're going for sound quality here, based on your choices

I'm not sure how the SD doesn't fit here, I've heard w7s and ID8's and I would take the SD over the ID. The w7 is extremely nice but the SD is not far behind it both in SQ and overall output but at about half the cost. As for the epic, I've never heard one.

Ms-8 will be handling the responce and powering the interior for now.

Not much love for the Alpine SWR-8D2s on here...They're no joke. Have two of them in a sealed box and they bring the ruckus. Love them.
