So I got the amp I was wanting and with my tax refund I'm lookin to put a sub in my truck. A little about what I know so far, I have a hifonics hfi1000d and I only have room for 1 8". Box dimension are 50"Wx10Hx7d1x4d2. It's goin behind my rear seat and I think I only have 6" of mounting depth. It might be a little less but not much less. I listen to a lot of different music so I want a sub that'll sound good but be kinda loud. I know a single 8" won't be anything close to the 2 12's that are in my wifes beetle but I need bass. Lol. I miss it too much.

Here's some of the 8's I was thinking about:

- SA-8

- Skar

- DC

- DD

I don't know of any others that would give me the output I'm wanting so I'm still open for other ideas. I have roughly $400 to put my system together so price isn't that big of a deal but I need to get a box so I need a little left over. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Haven't heard of them so i'll look into it.

Dayton shallow 8's a pair of em. Should work in the space ya have.
Not a fan of shallow subs. Thanks though.

Or find some eclipse ti 8's, there not easy to find though. Theres a single 8808 on ebay now with box
i really want a pair
I have time to look but i've heard some eclipse stuff and it wasn't bad so I may try and find some.

May sell my custom 8's hahaha
Details?

This one haha
Yes. Mounting depth might be an issue though. lol

 
DD 2508's just got released if I am correct, I'm not sure how easy they are to find though.. They look like quite the beast.

I hear good thing about the tang band 8's..

My old school RE 8 does pretty well for its age.

 
I guess what i'm looking for is a sub that can take close to 750/1000w daily and mounting depth shorter that 5 7/16.

Sundown is looking like the best option because I can't find much on the DC but I haven't talked to pro-rabbit yet so I may wait and see what he says.

I love RE (old school). I had an older RE SE 12 but I never got to use it cause I didn't have a box and ended up selling it a couple of months ago for like $50. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

 
sorry to hear that man, ****, I got my RE 8 for 50 bucks.. makes me jelly lol.

but seriously that monster of an 8 posted earlier looked **** nice... I thought it was a joke but it apparently isn't.

What is your budget? With being exposed to Rain.. I would recommend looking at a marine grade SAS Bazooka for the sub stage

Don't forget Hoffman's Iron Law. You can have 2 of the 3: low end, efficiency/sensitivity or small enclosure size...

I've been a fan of the JL shallow mounts, and have actually heard a decent box with some Pioneers but the Focal are pretty darn good. The JL TW's...

One or two, they are still subwoofer outs and are mono summed signals from both left and right. Even the 2 RCA subwoofer pre-outs on the 2nd one...

Be sure to see the sub specs. It should tell you the ideal sealed enclosure size.
