Default Need help with Subwoofer brand choice

okay I am thinking of installing 2 8 in woofers in my 89. they will go in the stock rear locations. Another forum member did a rough volume measurement of the stock locations to be .516 cubic feet.

Now going by that what size 8" woofers would work the best. They will be powered off of 2 channels of my A/D/S PH12 amplifier.

How many watts from your amp to each sub and how much mounting depth and why kind of music do you listen to?

My amp is rated at around 25W per channel @ 4 ohms. I don't plan on using another amp since I have 2 channels open on this one. I actually have 6.5" there now, but think a 8 would be better suited.

As for music, I listen to 80s/90s Pop, Rock, classic rock and country

EDIT: I forgot to add that the Amp IS NOT Bridgeable, it is the PH12 by A/D/S

http://www.nuera-acoustic.ca/products.html W8-740C is the one you are looking for...seems like the datasheet is down currently...but they are by far the best $30 woofers you are going to find. :cheers:

I found some data on them but they don't mention enclosure size. if they will work int he space I have I might give them a shot, they are a good price
