Need4Bass Unregistered guest | I like it clean & I like it loud. I only have room for 8s. I can fit 4 sealed or 2 ported. What 8s would you use and in what enclosure. I'll power them with whatever I need. Thanks |

Need4Bass Unregistered guest | Interesting reading. The biggest thing I came away with is " the JL w7 8s aren't worth the extra cash! |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1193 Registered: Aug-05 | theoreticall if you have 2 subs, and port them you gain 3db if you have 2 subs and add two more with full power to each you will gain 12db(twice as loud) |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4767 Registered: May-04 | The only problem with the test is that they used only two enclosures: .5 cu ft sealed, 1 cu ft ported. Too big for many of those 8s, too small for something like an 8W7. I do realize they had tons of woofers to test, and I wouldn't build that many enclosures either, but it just skews the results. Anywho, I was surprised how well the 8W3v2 did, being an older design. I'm considering that or an ID for my truck. .35 cu ft box volume is easy to accomodate  |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4768 Registered: May-04 | The 8W7 is just for bragging rights IMO. Most people looking at 8s are looking for either upfront subwoofers for a kickpanel or doorside, or they are squeezing them behind the seat of a regular cab truck. The thing is nearly 7" deep, needs a .875 cu ft sealed box for good all around performance, plus the room needed for the subs excursion. It just isn't practical for pretty much anyone that is limited to an 8" sub. |

Need4Bass Unregistered guest | Anyone have any experience with these, MA Audio HK80XC 8 ? I have 4 Momo's in .35 each and powering them with a Momo C.300.2. I tried running 2 Ohm Stereo and 4 Ohm mono and just when it starts to sound right the damned thing clips (shows low impedance). Is it the amp or the subs? |
