best 8 subs ?

Sundown has several 8's in their lineup...just a matter of which one to choose.

SA8v.2 x8

Then you got DC Audio's m38

If you can stand to wait, a yardsale should open soon and can find some 8's far less than buying new.

 
Any reviews for vfls or hds8
The top box builder in my area has done over 50 boxes for the VFL 8 and he loves them (majority of which where compact truck designs). Heard four of them in a truck that was only putting out 900RMS and I couldn't believe how loud it was. Here's some pictures of some VFL 8s he's done

I heard a pair of the sq's. Very punchy, plenty of output. Low end was lacking. Sound signature was different than the sa 8v2's I ran. The sundowns were louder and had a lot more low end extension

 
Ive had 2 different pairs of Massive Audio Hippo 8's and Atomic Apocalypse 8's. Along with installing a few different Cadence 8's. All performed well. I have a love for the Massives which are nearly identical to the VFL 8's. I ran them in 1.5 cu box vented and on a Zapco Z2kd (2000w) and they rocked! So, I would say the VFL or Hippo's.

Here are some pics of the Hippos.
