Which 8" Sub should I get?

[ace_800 5,000+ posts]

I know this has been asked before but I'm stuck since no one runs 8's where I'm at.

I'm looking at the DD1508's, SA-8 and I've seen a couple Critical Mass SS82's. What would be a better buy or another option for a good price to quality sub?

Probably going to be powering it with a Massive NX5 so 800rms total, or possibly something near 1000rms if I decide to go a little bigger with a sub and front channel amp. And it will be sealed more than likely. Also would like to stay around 300 for both or less.

Pretty much the same thing as the 1508 but way cheaper.

Yeah, but I see they only come in a single 4 config. The NX5 runs at 1ohm. Didn't mention it earlier but I'm looking for 2 8".

Tc sounds epic 8. The price is awesome and they pound

Haven't seen those TC's, they look nasty. How they compare to the 1508's or SA-8's? Anyone know? Also, the TC is a 2+2 ohm, thats dual 4 correct?

So if I could get 2 slightly used DD's for about same price of a set of NIB TC's which would be better?

 

[ace_800 5,000+ posts]

Bump for the DD's or TC's atm. Need a few opinions pretty quickly.

the TC's are dual 2
