the hifonics hfi1000d at 2 ohms is rated for 750w. I will not tell you it's ok to run the sub above above SA recomendations. I will say proper tuning and good electrical is always a must. I personally am not a fan of $150-1000w amps.

Nice purchase on the SA 8.

Remember like the 90's where the 8inch subs had a magnet of a door speakers nowadays :P

I still can't get over 150.2@20hz. That's fucking insane, even for 8-8s

Oh my gosh dude that sub is beautiful and has got a nice weight to it. plus, i figure the hifonics has a good name i hear around a lot of the forums, its built in america, has some nice adjustability to it, and if i buy it from amazon i can return it no questions asked for a full refund or replacement. I dont really plan to turn it up all the way to 750, it will probably hover somewhere around 300-400 most of the time. Its kind of funny how i spent more on my subwoofer than my amplifier but atleast im not buying sony xplod. Plan to break in the sa-8 for two months untill i get a new car on 200w at home since my truck crapped out on me.

I'm sure any one of those subs will be a good choice but from my experience with the sa-8v2's they are just awesome I'm thinking of trying the m38 looks really good

I think 8" subs are the coolest things and when you can see an 8" outbeat a friends single/multiple 10 or 12s i think its definitely worth it. im in highschool so a lot of friends still dont know anything about subwoofers and they will buy like two pioneer 12s and a 800w pioneer amp and brag, but in reality they bought 2 cheapo 12s and have an amp that is only pushing something like 400w rms that cant touch mine. I think xmax on that sub is like 4.5mm lol. then dont get me started on pre built generic boxes.
