Well they currently aren't making the Rl-i8's right now, you will have to wait till atleast September to pick up a new one.

Ok....well most people wouldn't want to wait that long. I'm pretty sure that most people that have the Rl-i8 would not want to part with it either. There is one for sale in the for sale section though....

I really don't want to wait that long. But I have some other projects I need to finish first. I also have to buy amps for my system also. So it may be a month or so before I have all the components for the install. I have heard alot of good things about the 8's.

Well, my vote was for the (2) 8's, but why are they not making the RL-I 8's right now??

Re-tooling them, updating the design. They were little beasties before; the new ones are going to be insane.

I think I am with you B. That is going to be awsome!! I emailed them to see when they expect to have them ready. Will let you know what they say.

Last I heard from Mike, it was early September/beginning of Fall, like what cpierce said earlier on in this thread...

Isn't the main difference between teh 8s and 10's is that the 10's can hit slightly lower frequencies and get louder?

Isn't the SQ betweent he 2 the same?

I dont think size relates to how low it can go, just air movement.. and the 2 8's will move more air.. and in the end you have 2 little sexy beasts that will amaze (so ive heard)

Thats not what the soundsplinter rep told me, he told me 10's will have the advantage because they have ore cone area.

Also I beleive larger subs hit harder than smaller subs at lower frequencies as smaller subs have a harder time producing more audiable sound at lower frequencies.

don't forget we're talking about 2 8's to 1 10, so your cone area argument goes right out the window...

one 10 has more cone area than one eight

one 10 has less cone area than two eights
