[QUOTE="zako, post: 7857829, member: 629735"] If you want the best bang for buck SQ with 8 inch subs, check out Alpine's Type-R 8 driver. My understanding is that it's different from the regular Type-Rs, which are no sloth. It's an over-engineered subwoofer with ultra-low inductance, which is great for SQ. Moreover, it's very reasonably priced. Usually, a major online vendor has it on sale for like $120, add or subtract. So, you can get at least two R8s for the price of one JL W8. While the W8 maybe a better driver when compared one on one, having two subs is great for SPL _and_ SQ, as less stroke for a given SPL level, due to double cone area, results in less excursion, and lower distortion.
