Ok guys i run 8in subs. I keep seeing people post that its useless. Better off running larger subs. I run 8's simply because it fits my application. Am i expecting to hit like i had 18's. Nope. But i know what i have is pretty damn good. I keep hearing only reason for companies to sell 8's its strictly for marketing and making money. Do i think its COOL cause i have 8's and it surprises people.. HELL YEAH. but i have a single cab truck and it works for me to run 8's. could i run 12's. probably but my nutsakk would get steering wheel burn.

rockford did a demo car that my buddy helped build that had 16 8's in it and it gets down pretty dam good. i will agree that for the money it is easier to get bigger numbers from bigger subs but hey if you can only fit 8's or love 8's i dont see what all the fuss is about

There's nothing wrong with 8's. I've seen SA-8's do a fair amount of damage and flex... Granted it was multiple 8's with plenty of power. But the people that are saying that 8's are pointless, are the same people that are saying that 18's can't play punchy notes without being sloppy.

I believe there's always a woofer size for every application

If it fits your application and it sounds great doing it, there is no need to make an 18 fit, just to have it sound like shit.

Fuck the haters.

Yup.... Fukkem till they bleed. Im still amazed what these 8's can do. This one guy was saying 8's where just pointless. And it wouldn't perform like other larger drivers. Unless it was the jlw8 or whatever its called
