I listen to rap and 80's hairband music . The box for the E8's is already the best box I could really build for them 2.6 cubic ported. I was also able to hit 139db at 36 Hz with the 2 of them. But I

Why do you think the E8's will break, are they showing signs of being close to failure?

well the one did start to break. the glue that holds the spyder to the basket started to come up so i had to use some superglue to redo it and it works fine now but i still worry about it when i turn it up.

How about an SSA ICON now that they're back in stock. A DVC2 model would love 740w.

Do you think the Icon would out perform the peerless xxls I will post the specs in a bit. I’m fairly sure it would but I have had very good experiences with peerless being built really rugged.

why are you considering that Peerless? With power on tap it's going to be wasted, and I don't know if they just don't list the ported size or not, but madisound only lists a sealed size recommendation. So it may not like ported. Icon would be much better. The box wouldn't need to be 3-4 cubes.
