Default Looking for an alternate to a Kicker C8

I am thinking about getting a Kicker Comp 8" sub for my C3. i am going to build a box that fits in the jack compartment behind the passenger seat. The problem I am finding is that I can't find anybody up here in canada who sells them. The distributors listed on kickers site don't do it any more.

If anybody knows of an alternative (or a place to get one) let me know. My main requirement it that it has a .5 CU box size, as I have a really really limited hole to fit it in.

Thanks.

chris.

There are many many better 8" subs

if you have patience, get the E8A from edesignaudio.com
or an ID 8, if you can find one
or a JL 8...

Kale: I just took a look at the Elemental web site. That driver looks quit nice. I think I will get it.

Metal_Wulf: The fact that two people both give it a thumbs up is a good sign (at least to me). Plus the box it requires is tiny. that is all good. I can fit it in my jack compartment for sure.

battsup: No it is not the square ones. They are the solobaric (sp) models. I don't know of any place called Visions out here.

I think I will probally go with the E8A, it looks really really good. Plus My car won't really be on the road until april most likley any way :-) so the wait is not that bad. I think I will give them a call on monday and order it. Thanks for your help guys.

chris.
