Im looking to replace my factory 8" sub in my Acura TL with an aftermarket one. I'm not looking to shake the neighborhood or anything just looking for a good sub that can bump better than the factory one, which is pretty much anything.

I dont have an amp yet. Im gonna get it depending on how much wattage the sub i buy puts out. As of right now i have no money limit in mind, i mean i dont wanna spend tooooo much money but money really isnt an issue.

Ya, what the Fanatic said:-), JL and RE make the best 8's.

the jl 8w7 seems to put out a little more rms wattage it claims a little over 250 true? the Re claims 175, again, true? and as for quality you think the Re is better?

well...i cant say...jl is doing the whole "mass production" thing and could spend a little more time with products individually...dont get me wrong..still an amazing product...but wattage doesnt mean much when it comes to how it will perform...but RE...spends alot of time with each of there products individually i think....but...also...both companies seem to underrate themselves a bit..and ive never heard ANOYNE complaing about RE...i have about Jl...what is the price difference

new company, awesome sound quality sub. the 8 will be out in mid march i think. they use the xbl^2 motor which is hard to beat. i think that the 8 is going to be very inexspensive but of awesome quality. also look at the id8 i think they go for 59 on ebay or like something to that and that is also a great sub.

I haven't seen anyone mentioned Adire.
Adire makes great 8'' subs/midbasses. Check out their stuff.

are you going to be building a seperate enclosure or just using the stock Hole?

i was hoping on using the stock hole and sealing the trunk, think it will work? if not i mine as well just get a 10" or 12" and just build a box.
