Sundown sa 8 v3 and x8? Any difference between these 2?

[Oregonguy]

I have heard alot about the sa 8v3 but not much about the x8. Is the sundown x8 not as good as the sa8 v3 for the money or what? Would it be comparing apples to apples or apples to monster trucks? Lol

So nobody has any experience with both these subs?

They are very different subs.

Most obviously... the X-8 is 750-watts RMS and the SA-8 v.3 is 500-watts RMS.

The X-8 uses a 2.5" coil and the SA-8 v.3 uses a 2" coil... and thus totally different spiders and cones. The surrounds are also shaped differently with the SA-8 v.3 being more linear like a "mini" Mega-Roll and the X-8 surround being shaped more for SPL.

The SA-8 v.3 is our lowest distortion ported box eight -- the X-8 is our highest output ported box eight.

Is the x8 a low end monster like the rest of the x series or does it play well all around?

In our line all of the 8s are unique to their line.

The X-8 is more of a "traditional" sounding subwoofer -- not an ultra high-excursion, linear, bottom-end monster like the rest of the X series.

Granted it can still play low but it's not going to sound like the rest of the X line.
