Trying to choose my 8s

As far as notes will an 8 be capable of making some notes a 15 will or will not and visa versa?

Since this thread is about 8's, I got 2 RE8's with a lil 300 watt Jensen pushing them, and I must say I am quite impressed of what they will do.

Here's a vid i made of my eD e8a when i had it.

Seems to hit pretty good, sure they are hard to find. Now I just need vids of AA, DD, and TC so I can judge everything first hand, sorta.

Still thinking its gonna be either TC or RL-i.

Not to mention I still need an amp and head unit. The amp for these should what... be 1k Watts?

I think that amp was like 400wrms tops, it's in flakko's car.

The tc/RL-i's move way more than that thing.

Than the DD or AA?

I think they have the higest excursion from an 8 that ive seen.

If you want those low lows you need the excursion. Upper bass doesnt need 18mm.

The 8W7 has more but its retarded expensive.

Is the xmax the info im looking for here?

TC xmax 24 mm

Rl-i xmax18.3 mm

What exactly does that mean, does one get lower or higher notes than the other? Sorry I tried looking up all that info on Wiki and I got slightly confused, Im still a complete nub. Do any of these numbers have to do with what notes it can or can't hit?

I know I have said it alot but I wanna be sure to get the right sub. I want a sub that can hit every note every time. (Well for an 8 I guess I gotta be realistic.)

EDIT: Still wanna hear more about assasin 8s.

the RL-i and tc1000 8's should have the same x max.

I think TC just put 24 for all of them. That little 8" basket wont allow for that much excursion anyways.

Is xmax what determines what notes it can or cannot play?

 

[supa_c 5,000+ posts]
