Comparing 2 x8's with 2 DD 2508's with esp

[SuperRed]

To start, this isn't a vs thread. It's a simple comparison between a buddy and myself. It's not meant to be a competition. Just an eye opener on 2 drivers that are at our disposal currently. He is running 2 DD 2508's with esp and I'll be running the 2 x8's. They'll both be in vented enclosures. Both running off of similar power. And both in Ford Escape's. His, an '04 escape, is one that we dynamat'd awhile back and is running a second battery, with a kenwood double din. Mine, will be installed in my' 14 Escape. Stock electrical, with the stock MyFord Touch system using a lc2i level converter.

It's going to be a build with a few different compared aspects.

1) space used.

2) sq

3) spl

4) design

This will be a build post so if I'm in the wrong area, please correct me on that. And we will be updating with pics of the builds and installs as we make progress.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what shall happen? Let the games begin ?

my x8s are nasty although ive never heard DDs should be comparable i have a feeling the x8s will be able to get louder at lower notes

I'm interested to see what we get. I'm his buddy with the two 2508s.

You can compare apples to oranges if you want, still reads like a verses thread to me ...

You can have identical vehicles with identical setups and they will still have differences ... just saying

[SuperRed]

Please elaborate on how 2 identical setups in identical vehicles, would perform differently? Also, yes I knew someone would still take this as a vs thread. But they would also be the ones missing the point. The educational, informative, differences between them.

[Yellow1000]

this is not a normal versus scenario that normally pops up on here saying which is better brand do I buy brand X or brand Y, and that's what gets locked I understand that. Think of this as more of a comparison between two of what we see as some of the best 8 inch woofers on the market. We already have two of each. So we thought somebody might like to see just what the differences are between them on a term lab on the same power in the same vehicle , in two seperate vehicles.

This is ok they both own each. It's not really a fair comparison but so be it.

[Yellow1000]

What doesn't seem fair between the two?

[SuperRed]

Yes. What isn't fair about the comparison? They're very similar woofer, as far as I can find...?

would be cool to swap enclosures in each vehicle.

Run the x8's in their box in his car, record results vs 2508s.

same with the DD's in your car.
