What is the best SQ 8" subwoofer (or midbass speaker I guess) on the market? They are generally pretty cheap, but I'll put a limit of $150 anyways. Thanks for the help...it's appreciated!
Why are you going so cheap on the sub? What is your goal? Before you diss JL, listen to JL 10W7 in a HO box. It's a bit costly, but worth the investment.
Are u using this as a subwoofer or a midbass driver? Between those choices, I would take the SS. It handles 125 watts more then the RE. The re re has 12.7 mm of one way excursion, the SS has 18.3 mm of one way excursion. That means the SS moves 50% more air at full power. The SS is a more efficient driver and has a stronger motor. I would also dare to say it sounds better then the RE, but i have heard niether.
I wasn't dissing the JL...I just don't want to spend that much for midbass. I will be doing a 15" Q or equivalent as well, but I would like to put in 2 8"s to add some punch after I cut the Q off at 80hz or whatever.
I honestly don't know to much about midbass drivers. The subs I mentioned would, IMO be overkill/misused in that application. Look at tangband drivers, I have heard good things about those.
I am leaning towards Assassins. They are upgradig them and they are CHEAP too. Any idea of the frequencies those will hit? A lot of 8" say like 30hz-300hz...any ideas? I didn't see that on the site. Thanks
OK...I will look into it, but I certainly don't need them to pound or anything...just add a little midrange thump. I will probably go with the Assassin. Unless someone has an amazing idea, it would be hard to beat $50 for the AA.
