Trying to decide on an 8" sub

[AcidicDreams 10+ year member]

Well I've sold the 2 TC2+'s I had and my Memphis belle. I just purchsed a next Q.55 that has a 5th channel pushing 200w. So I'm looking for an 8" sub that I could pack away in the cargo area. Here are my list now and I'm looking for people who've had experience with these for use as subs:

AA Assasian 8 - 50 + ship

CDT EF-8 - 2 - 90 shipped

Dayton 8" Quattro - 50 + ship

ID ID8v3 - 95 + ship

I'm looking for subs, not mids. They have to pull sub duty ALL the way down. They need to wire up to 4ohms and I'd also look into 2 6.5 or 7" subs, partsexpress has a few that look interesting.... Any ideas? Experiences?

EDIT: Add a goldwood 8" that I could get two for 60+ shipping from PE http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=290-314

That's 2 CDTs for that price?? Never heard those but that's a good price if they're any good...

Of those, I believe the Assassin is still the best bang for the buck at the $50 range...they'd be a good pick even at $75 each.

My brother in law ran a single Memphis MClass 8" sealed in his truck and it got surprisingly loud, but it won't be near the deal that the Assassin is....

I'm still loving my two Atlas 12s....

Does SS make an RL-i 8"?? If so, that might be a good option too....

Well I'm not really too worried about volume, just SQ. I'm thinking the CDT's would be more along the lines of midbasses that can pull double duty but not quite as well as a purpose built sub....

IDQ10 also looks interesting if I can find a good used one for well under 100
