Price kicks those right out the window. Thanks anyway though. BTW assassin 8's are a NOGO due to basket retooling, so I'm hunting again.

Best bang for the buck comes from Tang-band. Either thier Neo 8 or standard motor 8. They run well under $100 a pop on Parts Express. the standard motor 8s are on sale often for around $50.

I would be willing to bet they would beat 1/2 the 8s already reccomended on this thread on everything but looks...

One thing though, determaining power handling needed without modeling the driver in a chosen alignmnet is both meaningless and, well, just dumb. This type of logic is why BS power ratings are silk-screened on dustcaps...

And this is coming from someone who has installed more than 50 RE8s, a ton of Rockford, Kicker, and so many other 8s I can't even count in my head....

Funny, I just PM'd him this morning and told him to use the standard motor TB-8's. Awesome little drivers.

Well, ok I dont have the software, so could you do a quick model at .25 cu ft a piece, and which would be better the standard or neo? I've seen them both, and they both fall in my price range.

I think someone is selling some E8s on DIYmobileaudio...

If you use the Tang bands sealed, you might not feel they have enough low end. They both are low Q drivers designed for ported alignments. But, they also both have very small Vas, so small boxes are still very possible.

Here is a box I built for my dad, each Tang band Neo 8" gets .3ft3 and each pair is tuned to 33Hz with a 3" I.D. port... They absolutley hammer like this...

You may get away sealed just find depending on cabin gain of your vehicle....

You need to download WINISD, Boxplot 2.0 or something similar and run the numbers yourself, that is the only way you will learn about this stuff...

The search is over, I'm going to bite the bullet and hunt for the sundowns that I wanted in the first place. I have 4 purchased, I need 4 more.

Thanks for the opinions, and help from you all.
