[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8746414, member: 591582"] If you do a ton of power, you can go smaller on the box size, to an extent. Usually AB's subs do good in about 1 cubic feet per 8 for ported. Don't go too small though, you'll keep the woofer from moving too much at certain resonances and it'll kill some frequency ranges. That's quite a large motor for an 8", I bet they could probably take 800 watts on music if it's clean, maybe above 30-35 hz or so. But you'd have to be very mindful if you're overpowering woofers that much, especially on low notes. That's one reason I like putting woofers in 6th orders, you can use all of the power and both the front and rear wave can be absolutely controlled for massive bass. I swear 6th orders are awesome for overpowering stuff, because you can like extract all of the power into sound because the woofer isn't pressurizing the cabin at all, it's pressurizing the box first, completely basically, before it even touches the cabin. Concentrated and tuned bass. [/QUOTE]
