what is ur opinion ???

there r pretty cheap & have a rather amazing 22.8hz fs so i expect some nice clean lows from these , at least in theory

was thinking about buying 4 just to play the fool with it since i have never owned or worked with any 8s b4 .....

Ok subs...at least the old version was. From what I have seen, the newer RE stuff just doesn't hold a candle to what they did 'back in the day'.

Even the old ones wouldn't handle all that much power.

i was wanting to do the same thing a few years back rovin.
bought one from chaunceybrown and he packaged it terribly. all it had was a single, very thin layer of bubble wrap around it. needless to say the magnet was really messed up when i got it. tried to get him to help with the insurance claim and he wouldnt. wouldnt even consider returning my money either.
so i just bit the loss on that one and never pursued it again

Seriously though a good set of 8's will do you justice. Given they are only 8's.

Dear god....wolfman's 8s...um yea...um
I built that box, and sold him the 8s.


Originally got them in a trade w/ Kevin.





On a side note, I did my shop-use DD510a in a 45min build box on a 150w @ 4ohm old MTX amp for one of my customers for alittle SPL comp we hosted this week at a local car show. One of the guys from the local Kicker dealer saw a 2 CVX12 on ~1500w system run and only hit 135.5dB in a suburban (crap install form traders village in TX)....The DD510a ran earlier that day and did 138.1dB....on the 150w amp, in an accord. Talked to the guy from the kicker dealer at the show (he is a nice guy). Got a call this morning from him....He had to be 100% sure that 1-10" on 150w really beat 2-CVX12 on 1500w. (i'm pretty sure I was on speaker phone during that call, heard echos pretty clearly...???)

nobody ?????


last night i got a demo of 3 RE RE 8s tuned 35 hz but bandpass to play between only 32-40hz , they hit hard for just about 600-700wrms , the output was impressive for that limited range they were playing but the owner said its a temp set up & he will be doing a new box

im going to call the local RE dealer in my country to arrange for a demo of his 3 8s & then i will know if im taking the 4 for sure ...

I dont think youll be impressed with them Rovin....I have a re 12 of that series and put it in a 1 cf sealed box it didnt get very loud but was clean enough to use as an sq sub in that box (I kid you not)
