Any Recommendations for an 8 inch Sub?
I am doing an experiment in another car and am beefing up the sound system ever so slightly. I want to bring the bass up just a touch more. It is definitely the end that is missing. I only have about 9" of surface to work with, so an 8" sub would be a perfect fit.
Looking around they are priced all over the place form $40 to 250.
I don't need a monster blow the windows out sub, just a decent one that give me a decent sound. It doesn't have to be new, if someone has a decent source for used. It won't be driven very hard at all.

I am really happy with my JL8w7 in my truck, you would never guess that it is an 8" sub if I didn't tell you 
It is rather deep and requires around .86cu^3 IIRC. I would throw around 400w RMS to it and I think you would be quite happy, although they are not cheap. I can second the Peerless XLS series as well as a good recommendation.

Thanks everyone. I was just out taking a look and I need to make sure I also have the required depth needed. Originally I didn't think it would be a problem, but studying it a bit further tells me I might be a bit cramped. For those posting a sub for sale... hang on let me check the depth dimensions.

JL 8w3v3 would be nice, but check the depth out first.
Surface area means nothing for comparisons. Square frames are merely cosmetic. All that matters is performance in the enclosure you use.
