8" Sub choices?
Hey gang, I am looking for a pair of high quality 8" subs to add to the system I am currently installing. I want them small so I can still fit my T-tops in the car when weather permits. My system so far consists of 4 5" components in the doors, a Kenwood headunit, and a Phoenix Gold Tantrum amp. Anyone want to offer suggestions? I am leaning towards a pair of Eclipse 8"ers right now, but am up for anything people might suggest. Thanks!

Re: 8" Sub choices?
Hey gang, Will any of the above-mentioned subs be good for small sealed boxes? That is what made the Eclipses so appealing. Ellis, your setup looks good, but the box looks too large for what I want to do. With the Eclipse subs, I planned on just making a false rear wall and sticking both subs along the rear. Does JL Audio of Boston have a similar sub for such a small enclosure? Where should I look? Thanks again.

Indy-
The shop doing the install said that the Phoenix Gold XS subs would work (they sell them too), but would benefit from a larger box than what I have said I wanted to go. Obviously, I am not looking for earth-shaking bass, but even so, I would like to keep the box as small as possible. I am sure the PG subs sound great, but I don't want to give up that much room! Who knows, maybe I am getting sold on this, but in reviewing their work and speaking with the shop owner and his references, I will trust their judgement on this one! Glad to see you had no problems selling the subs! :cheers:
