I doubt you would notice the difference between any $50 woofer. Get the one you want to run. Never Skar

if youre looking at 1.2 cu/ft sealed, why go with 8"s? you could get a very good 12 for around 200 and blow the 8s out of the water

4 8s would smash a 12. That’s more then 2x the cone area.
I would do 6.5s sealed in 1.2

I myself would run these or look at some Polks or Infinity.Maybe even Dayton if they make 8s

I’ll have 1.6 cubes for all 4. Why not skar? Are they that bad? I’d be interested in the MB’s if they weren’t shallow. The subs will be under the seat down firing but don’t need to be shallow. Ive got over 5” of mounting depth to work with so full size subs will work. I feel like the shallows won’t have the excursion to hit the lows.

why are you running a single 12 then?

It fits the install and for SQ a single cone is better.
Less is more. I was going to do 3 10s.

gotcha. its not quite double tho, 3.14*36= 113.04 and (3.14*16)*4=200.96

Never ordered anything there. Looks like they ship from Walmart? Looks like they're sold out anyway. For that price and 25% off, I'd jump all over that.

2x 4 ohm coils can be wired parallel to 2 ohms or series to 8 ohms. There's many amps with 2 ohm power you can use.
