dual 10' s or quad 8's

[DCdakota]

Put 2 sa-8s in that box tuned to around 32-34Hz and I'm pretty sure you'll be happy, they may be 8s but they get loud and low

[LsChevy]

is there any 8" sub thats better than the sa8 in the same price range?

Two tens would be the way to go.

2 Sa-10 (in a custom enclosure) would be a good start. (2 fi SSD 10's would be a better choice in my opinion.)

what make the ssd's better if you dont mind me asking

Their response suits my taste more, they play a little flatter.(better sounding in my opinion.)

Just model both subwoofers and you'll see which you'll want more.

They can handle more power (daily).

I wouldn't do 4 8's compared to 2 10's, you need to spend much more money to only get a little louder. (and it will probably be unnoticeable)

4 8's also need more room on the face which could mean you need to sacrifice port area.

The motor's would take up more room in the box and so on...

8's are pretty useless if you think rationally, I can barely find any applications where multiple 8's would be better then bigger subwoofers.

@LsChevy

What do you mean by better then the SA-8?

Better at what?

It all depends on your system as a whole. We can't really tell you. But as far as 8's vs 10's ( I just said "vs" haha) just remember cone area is king. The sa-8's are an insane woofer. I remember some girl on here that had 2 of them and did something like a 50, let me find and post the log before you quote me on that. But 8's take less space and can still get way down and loud, so that would be my vote.

.if i go with the four 8's it will sundown sa 8v2's and the dual 10 option would be dc lvl 4,FI Bl or ssa icon

- FWIW: I was always told, years & years ago, that it was all about the "cone space", therefore I would, personally, go with the four 8's.

thats what i thought but i heard some people say a couple high excursion 10's with a lot of power would be a different story

SSD 10 in 1.25 each on 1k. So if you could fit two of them in a 2.4, run them off of a Crescendo BC2k, do that. Then, later down the road, sell the SSD's, pick up a pair of BL10's and another BC2k, and you'll be set

There is no doubt in my mind that is likely a true statement with the products available these days. Only thing I had to go on was info that I was told when I was introduced to car audio in 1991 as a Sr. in high school ... And probably in most situations, cone area likely is still the rule of thumb.
