Thanks for the response, that's just what I was wondering...whether I'd see any benefit in swapping them out. I would be putting the Orphans in a small box, so I'm not sure how the output would be. I know the Orphans sure look beefy, and that rubber roll is just ungodly for an 8" sub! Anybody else have anything to offer regarding this?

I currently have 2 Hertz EBX-200R's running off of an ARC audio KS300.4 bridged to 350w rms per sub @4 ohms. I was wondering if it would benefit me at all to go to an Orphan 8? I'm not sure I can run the ARC's bridged @ 3 ohms, though, so I would have to check that (I know they DON'T recommend 2ohms bridged). These are in the trunk of my 2007 Maxima. I don't have a lot of space, as I didn't want to chew up my whole trunk with a sub box, that's why I went with the Hertz subs, because of the small box. How small of a box can I run the Orphan 8 in efficiently? Am I better off keeping the Hertz's, or is the Orphan a better sub? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I was thinking 6.5" to 8" deep. Anything more kind of defeats the idea of using a false floor.

I'm going to be doing an install in a freind's 08 Suburban, and he wants a "false floor" built for the rear cargo area. The false floor will house the amplifier (Rockford 25 to life power 1000) and wiring. He wants either a single 12", dual 10", or dual/triple 8" subs, but he wants the false floor to be used as the sub box. He doesn't want to have to deal with a massive sub box in the cargo area. My question is, if the false floor is built 6-8" high, will it be "thick" enough for a proper sub enclosure. I have plenty of space to work with length/width-wise, but the depth is going to be the problem. I guess I'm trying to ask if a shallow box will work ok, as long as I have the needed volume (make up the difference with the length and width)? He's also still undecided on the subs, so I'm open to any recommendations there also. The sub channel on the amp will be putting out 650-700w rms x 1 @ 2ohms, and 925-1000w rms x 1 @ 1ohm.
