Single 8"

SKD Gold Member Username: Skdooley Roanoke, VA Usa Post Number: 1200 Registered: Oct-09	Posted on Sunday, September 12, 2010 - 12:04 GMT Not expecting miracles from a single 8, but if you guys had to choose, which sub would perform best: SA-8, RL-i8, or a DD 1508? No one has bought the 500/1 so I'll be running 500 rms one of these drivers.

Post Number: 8243 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Sunday, September 12, 2010 - 20:00 GMT I'm a little bias, but I have seen and built some sick setups w/ the DD1508's. So my vote goes to DD1508d4 w/ your amp. (they are available in D2 now also) I like to match them up w/ the DD C2b (500w+) @ 2ohm. They are pretty picky when it comes to box design and loading though.

SKD Gold Member Username: Skdooley Roanoke, VA Usa Post Number: 1203 Registered: Oct-09	Posted on Monday, September 13, 2010 - 02:33 GMT Does AQ make an 8" sub? I saw a video of an 8" sdc, yet can't find one on their site. Anyone know anything about that sub?

Post Number: 8248 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Monday, September 13, 2010 - 05:29 GMT AQ did offer an 8" for awhile...it was the old SD series, back when they offered 3 lines (SD, SD2.5, HD3) They dropped the US-made subs and have all motors built in China now. Thus the "C" in their current lines.
