[QUOTE="Bass911, post: 8746509, member: 580057"] First thing you need to understand is that I'm not in love with 8 inch subs. I'm just experimenting and seeing if I can save trunk space. I understand your ssa recommendation, but I don't think the American Bass hd 8s that I went with are much of a downgrade. I already have plenty of bigger subs that I could have went with, but I just want to try these 8s out. The sa8v3 on some sites advertise it as having a 2.5" coil, and I understand that people run crazy power to them but I'd rather have a 2.5" coil. I'm not even that concerned with the high fs rating. I'm pretty sure the AB specs are off, and that the subs will play low enough for my expectations. They advertise them at 400 rms and 150oz magnet, but you can tell the 8 gauge direct leads handle more than 400 watts. The actual sticker on the magnet says 173oz, but it is probably 150oz? I know it might not be the best sub, but I decided to go with the best bang for my buck.[ATTACH type="full" alt="28872"]28872[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
