single sa-8 in ported box?

[npcout 10+ year member]

I was going to do 2 sa-8s, but I don't have enough space in my small scion xa. Then I looked into a 10in single.. but I have decided to do, or at least I think 1, 8in SA-8 in a ported enclosure however big it needs to be to make this sound best. Biggest can be 11hX21wX14d.

I am really looking for clean, accurate, crisp, deep bass.. SQ basically haha. I have a small scion xa hatchback and my single kicker l5 in a TINY sealed box is still way to loud for my ears. I am big into home theatre/surround sound, so I like quality sound, not BOOMY bass.

I would give this 430RMS.. how does that sound? I really want to make a purchase soon, so what do you guys think? I hate how high pitched my l5 sounds in small sealed box!! it was very deep in the large ported kicker made box, but that doesn't fit in my scion and my ears would be damaged if it did haha.

Tc sounds epic 8 for another choice? 500 rms and a Fs of 28

That would be a better choice than the SA-8 for what I am looking for? Have you heard one? Will 430RMS underpower it by to much?

or you could do some Sundown E8 v.2s they're better sealed than the sa's and in my opinion sound a little better, don't get near as loud though

I will be listing my TC 1000 8" dual 2 ohm very soon for sale if your interested. That thing can get down low and loud for a little 8.

The sa-8's sound good on low notes hell we put 2 in my buddies geo tuned to 28hz on a rockford T500 and it sounds amazing but when tuned that low it rolls off at like 42 and isn't happy with any higher notes than that.
