[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 2472397, member: 560148"] I'd say keeping up's a pretty relative term in this case. Most 8's can keep up with just about any 2 way passive setup, unless by keeping up you mean 15db's louder for rap music, in which case, no they can't. In terms of just filling out your lower octave, you don't need $600 dollars in subbass. Especially since most of a subs response is enclosure dependent, most mids are simply placed IB,so the driver ends up beign the difference more often than not in a car sealed mids in car are too hard to do. Humans don't hear subbass distortion until near 5%, at midrange frequencies that drops to less than .5% Level matching and a proper sub enclosure will make just about any sub match up to a much more expensives set of components and still sound fine.
