WTB: Good used 8" sub - taking suggestions

[bcramsey 10+ year member]

I have been out of car audio for a few years and looking to get up to speed. This sub will be in a 2000 GMC ext cab under the rear seat and will complete my budget buildup. I am currently looking for an 8" sub and will build a small sealed box for it with 150 watts of power. I am looking for a sub that will sound good but not overtake the system. I'm open to ideas or suggestions and interested in a quality used sub around $50 more or less. What do you think?

Here are some ideas I have been kicking around and have considered. I listed in order of my current preference.

JBL GTO804 (very efficient in a small box)

Infinity Reference

RF P2

Kicker CVR

- Current setup

Clarion DB285USB

6.5 comps up front Sony GTX1620S (not a lot of sony love, but I like em and got a good price)

4x6 plates in rear Pioneer TS-P462 (on the way thanks to Ridinhi)

Old school Cadence Q-400 amp (50 to the comps & 150 bridged to sub ???)

I don't know much about the massive pw8 and need to do a little research. Have you used it in a small sealed box? How does it compare to the other subs?

I don't doubt a kicker L7 8 would thump. I just don't think I have enough power for it in my setup. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

That is a real good price on a new 8"sub. I couldn't find any info on the watts. Do you think 150 watts would do this one justice?

dunno

its rated at 200 so 150 should be good.

I need it to run off a bridged 4ohms mono. So a dvc 4 won't work for me. I need a regular 4ohm sub. I just want one 8" at this time.

Maybe the pro tech xo-8 is the best choice.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif I edited my previous post, I meant to say I need a single 4ohm sub.

What are the specs on the concept 8? Does it work well in a small sealed box?
