Are There Any Decent 8" Subs

[s13_Skyline_inside]

reason im asking is that im oversea's at the moment and was thinking about buying them from HK (cheaper) before i come back to aus, ive got a 34 gtt and was thinking about putting an 8" or two if they would fit in a custom box that fills up that little space under the parcel tray as i dont really want them in the main space of the boot, got a 10" pioneer 600watt at the moment and would really want similar sound to what ive got, more punchy than anything else, just wondering if anyone has any experiences with this type of thing?

basicly just want to figure out if it would be better just to leave the single 10" bolted to the corner of the boot

i wouldnt go for a smaller sub for punchy bass, two 8inch subs will probably provide you with the same sound volume as your 10inch pioneer providing they are good quality 8inch subs, but in regards to SPL the 10inch would generate more and give you a more punchy bass,

if your after good decent punchy sounding bass upgrading to a bigger sub is the best way of achieving this, 12inch would blow the 10inch away

hmmm, might just leave the 10" in there as is then thanks, i really dont know too much about the sound department

I'm in a similar if not worse situation. I have two 10 inch Pioneer Premier subs 1500 watt each, two 1000 watt each Pioneer Mono Class D Amps and one 350 watt 4 channel Amp. I have absolutely no room for anything in my boot! I'm getting a custom fab project done sometime early next year. The focus is to maximize the trunk space while keeping all the same equipment and having a clean cut show quality appearance. I'll post pics when it's done so in the future if you want to change things around a bit you'll have an idea what it might look like.

too many people seem focused on the size of a sub and how it will sound. ive heard 8" subs that are louder that 15s, and 18" subs that are as quick and punchy and responsive as a 10"

generally, the more expensive a sub is, the better it will be. for good 8" subs look at Digital Designs, or JL Audio

Also the 8" Exact8 from Vibe.
