Tang Band or Tang Band?

Ok, this isn't one of those "which sub will give me more of teh deebeez" threads. I'm trying to figure out which one will work better for my application.

I'm looking at getting either the Tang Band W8-740P http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-854 or the W8-1363SB http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-833 . I plan on running two of them ported with around 150 watts each. This is for daily listening, and I listen to about everything. I don't plan on competing.

Assuming that installation is correct in both cases (or as close as I can get it :noob: ), from a technical standpoint, which sub would be a better choice? Or should I just flip a coin?

hmm the one rated for 30 more watts or the one 3db more efficient? i go for efficiency. you can always drive more power if you know what you are doing.

Tang Band W8-1363SB gets my vote.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I've read good things about them and they can be used in really small boxes (I'm trying to use as small of a footprint as possible).

The neo motor one. IH8PunkRok has 6 in his mustang and we played on them for about 2 hours straight then played 10-15 full tilt some low songs for his box and after words were still cold he runs his on a sundown 2000 and they take a beating for sure great little woofer.

btw that 150 rms rating is a joke on all of those neo woofers

i have to work to make mine warm. i had them stinky once and that was at a competition that was like 90 degrees so the subs started warm. not to mention the 3 hour drive before hand that i was beating on them like brandon said lol
