Looking For A Badass 8" Subwoofer

Well this past weekend, TEAM BK opened up the challenge of "crazy 8's" which is to take 1 8" woofer, 1 battery, and 1 amp and try and see how loud you can get it.

This will be strictly SPL tuned, I could care less how it sounds otherwise. I will be using my current GP3000D Pro but greatly turned down. Probably at 4ohms which will be about 1k rms.

My car peaks at 52-53 hz so I want to tune the box around the upper 40's I do believe. Maybe even 50.

I dont want to spend much money at all on this 8" driver. So the dd1508 is out of the question. Im looking for something $70 or cheaper.

but the big difference will be the vehicle........ you know there will be some bad ass enclosures, and diffrent drivers, but if i'm in an envoy and you got a crx...... duh

Im in a 2000 Accord coupe. So its a trunk car. but yea I see what you mean about other peoples cars.

I've been pleased with my E8 sundown subs. The price is right and they seem to have good excursion potential. I'm running a mild amount of power so I don't know the exact limits.

Call Fi and ask them to make you an 8" BTL lol!

the motor is almost 12: diameter so that would be hard to put in a box lol

lol..

just mount the sub to the bottom side of the baffle and build the box around the sub. :)

what do you think that thing could do.... like a 151-152 even, http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif come on what would happen if you did put 400 watts to that thing, i think, it might just smoke...... but I have been wrong before, I believe it was a tuesday......FAIL
