SQ Review by "nismos14" on DIYMA:

Initially I was very impressed with the tonality and the output. It played various notes with authority. It's meant to be crossed (at least in my application) at 80 hz, anything higher and I recieved a lil breakup in the output. I am reallllly enjoying these subs with all kinds of music, rock/rap/country. They are doing a great job!

SQ: 8

Power handling: 9

LFE: 10

Output: 9

Build Quality: 10

Total: 46

These are just preliminary numbers, I will post more when I am done with a few weeks of listening time. They are DEFINATELY a competitor to the CMASS in overall sound and output! I am VERY impressed, especially at this price point.

Damn! Those are sweet. Silencer style.

Dang those look sexy. Are they 1.5" or 2" coil?

I don't know of a better 8" under $100 bucks.

They are 2" coil woofers.

Sweet. I'm guessing they'll handle more around 400rms......

Thermally they will handle alot - but they just don't need it. You can get them moving 1" p-p with the rated power in most enclosures.

Nice. I can't believe how much I like the high roll surround.

I foresee these selling like hotcakes.

How do you pre order these?

[audioxtremes 0]

Reminds me of the old DD 1008 but less brute looking.

If you have Paypal its just that easy

After the preorders are done will they still be the same price?

Are they single 4 ohm?

No - they will be more expensive after the pre-sale. This is the last chance to get them at this price.

And yes, they are all single 4 ohm.

You dont have a price on them once the sale is over do you?

[sundownz 197]

It will be around 100 dollars.

Awesome looking 8" moofaz!

Where can I find ts parameters for this thing? frequency range and rms power handling would be enough though. I wanna know how well this would work as a midbass driver in my front doors. Will it do well in a free air environment?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

[sundownz 197]

Full T/S specs are listed above - including the 200 RMS rating.

They will play up to ~200 Hz or so clean - so they will work as a midbass. We have two installed in a Bronco here for midbass and they do GREAT IB for that job

Hmmmmmmmm

Nevermind, sorry, I kepy skipping right over the t/s specs without even realizing.

I can make them fit.... muahaha

How would 6 of these sealed in a regular cab S10 do on a 1500d??? I've had a DD 3510d ported and most recently a pair of DD 1508's ported also. Sorry Jacob, I'm kinda thinking out loud.

My Dad has two in a regular cab Chevy 1500 (ported) behind the seats and he does 137.2 dB with the windows down (131 windows up) - in a very good sounding setup

Whats the driver displacement???? i need to get 4 of these. whats the shiping to ALASKA (99517)???

i was thinking about getting 4 of these for my friend. 1000W/4 subs these would be perfect!!!

4Ft^3@30Hz wired parallel to 1 Ohm. sound good??????

[sundownz 197]

Jason,

Shipping is an additional $35 per pair to your zip.

So add $70 to the price for four subs and thats it.
