Suggestions for 2-8" Sealed Subwoofers

[beanMR2 10+ year member]

I've got 2 sealed 8" JL Audio 8w3v2 - D4's in my car that I turned up a little to loud for a song that just hit a little too hard. So of course they are half blown. Looking to find some replacements that are around $250 or so for a pair. The enclosure I am using was designed for this specific sub so I would prefer a pretty close match if possible.

I have a Rockford Fosgate P5002 amp.

125w x 2 @ 4 ohm

250w x 2 @ 2 ohm

I'm open to either wattage rating as I do want something with a little more kick than my current setup while trying not to compromise sound quality, so please, throw me what you got. I've been looking at some 8w3v3 but am sure there are more options out there for less.

What about those Sundown E8s? I see quite a few people running those.

edit - looks like someone beat me to the punch. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

E8s now or wait for X8s. There are some CDT 8s on here right now. Those linked from PE would be good. Choices abound. Dont forget DD 1508Ts
