I am in need of a 8" sub that works well in a very small, sealed enclosure. I came across the E8v2 Sundown sub, and it looks promising. I wanted to get some insight/experience from people in the know. Space is at a premium in my vehicle. I have around .3 to .35 ft3 to work with. I would like for it to have good SQ with good output (I am aware that it's an 8", but I have heard some 8s with decent output in a sealed enclosure, so I know what to expect). I have not purchased an amp yet, but I plan to run 300-400 RMS to the sub. This will be going in an mid-sized suv. I plan to build a center console type enclosure that will fit in the second row. So, having said all this, do you believe that the E8v2 would be a viable sub for my application? If not, I am all ears to any and all options.

Thanks in advance!!

I have been experimenting with boxes in the last couple days and am going to settle on a sealed enclosure for a single E8V2. It will get built today and when it's done and playing I will let you know how it works out. I can say that the e8V2 in 0.6 tuned to 35Hz with a pair of 2'' ports has tons of port noise, too much to bear. I don't have the room for a 3 or 4 inch port, so sealed it is.
