Yes I finally got my RE8s

[james33440 10+ year member]

i didnt mean "with" my tens. i was planning on taking them out, and putting the 8s in. I dont know if i should go with kodas, treos, re8's or what. I want to be loud with 0.4ft^3 each and 200w rms each.

Do you mean 200 each or 200 total? I don't think I would put more than 125 watts on a single RE8. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

well i do not kno about loud but re8s work well in a .4cuft eclosure. I think re has some info on thre site. But they are great i mean u got 2 of them then get like an 300 watt amp. They will really surpise u.

Put it this way they like spud webb in an dunk contest. They may might not be awsome but u got to respect the fact he can jump that high.

they will definitely surprise you in terms of output.

of course, I have 8 of them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I have better SQ than my single XXX 18 had in both ported and sealed boxes. I have better SPL than my SEALED XXX 18. However, the XXX 18 was so much louder in my 9.5 cu ft box.

However, the gain of having space in my trunk with only a 4.0 cu ft box now, not to mention the AWWWW factor of having 8's, is unbelievable. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

These 8's having great output for their size. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i just order some last week and re told me to give them 200rms a piece. in a .9ft^3 common chamber box.

well, you best be easy on the gain. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

let me know how they sound.

I may have to rewire my setup to a 1-ohm load then on a larger amp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

do u think any other brands of 8's would be better? Like koda, treo? the treo has 22mm xmax which seems like a **** lot...

 

[squeak9798 5,000+ posts]

Well, there are plenty of other 8's that will perform just as good if not better than the RE8 if that's what you are asking......though most of them are more expensive than the RE8.

Dupuis, do you happen to have a video clip of your setup?

How does your RE8's sound with that power?
