I know this will go on def ears but...
It's like if you went on a tire forum and asked "16inch tires:summer or winter?".
And then you get vague responses.
Then you get frustrated, tell everyone off and as you leave you tell everyone "I don't know why you can't give me a answer, I already know 18inch tires are for summer, why don't you want to tell me what 16' are for?".
Because subwoofers arent all better in ported or sealed.
What your question should be is one of these 2:
1: You find the sub you want and usk us, knowledgable people, if it's design is best made for ported or sealed (or maybe even IB). Then you get an answer.
or
2: You make the descision that you want ported or sealed and then ask us which sub would be best for that situation. Then you get an answer.
Get it?

Lastly, getting another sub to play midbase is a bad idea.
I really don't know of a sub that can't play fine to 80hz... So why your current subs doesn't play well from 60 to 100 makes no sense to me.
Your 6.5's and your "by nines" should have no problems reaching down to 80hz at all.
I don't know who is feeding you your info or giving you tips... but you should stop listening to them.

1. u are all noobs
2. you should definately go with a bandpass sealed chamber bass reflex box for you 8 to get the frequency you want
3. ported doesnt mean low. it just means more air movement.
4. OP, whoever is telling you all this.........slap him/her.

Well i am probably gonna get this: LANZAR 8" MAX 8-400rms, for $60cad(after taxes, shipping and what not)'- MR2NR- i never said i want to spend fortune on the speaker- that's why the add was in classifieds, i was looking for some used cheapo speaker that will look decent.... driven by Visonik 800W rms at2ohm (600 of clean-ish power)... the reason i was asking without telling You what sub im gonna use is that cuz its a shitty sub and i cant even find advanced specs for it.... I don't want to use my speakers below 100hz since they don't give much dB around there, so i thought 8"will fit, my 12" is best at 60-20, so I have that gap there... and I have that visonik laying round so i thought i will try it out, (as you can see im not risking much), as for now I'm probably putting it in a sealed box since i have no space for other boxes... and I will work on that bandpass sealed chamber bass reflex box that Father Yuli suggested, its more advanced and might be tricky since its gonna be my second box.... (I made one ported before, tuned to 35, but it looked nasty and it was big and i need space for my setup now)... thnx for the help and all, cheers Luke.
P.s. I don't get frustrated that easy AAAAAAA :]', I treat it as consultations and not arguing.

60-100hz and you have 6.5's and 6x9's amplified?. Clearly there's other issues to resolve first. Primarily I would start by sound deadening your front doors. Also with the quality level of the equipment you are running you can't expect much out flea market brands. I've been an installer and doing car audio sales for the better part of 8 years and I see alot of younger guys buying as much possible equipment as they can, at as low a price as possible and swear that is the way to go. In reality keep it simple, Sound deaden the car a bit and just buy decent equipment and you'll be miles ahead of the game and in the long run save alot of money.
Changing cheap parts for other cheap parts that are shinier is just throwing money away. If you don't have a bigger budget. buy things in stages.

Just about any 6.5-10" will play 60 - 100hz range with ease. What Sikk is saying is just try to get what you have to sound it's best before trying to buy more equipment. Sound deadening the doors will greatly improve the midbass. Where are the 6x9's? Are the rears covered in any way? These small tricks greatly improve midbass. If you do all this and still don't like it, only then I'd think about changing or adding something.

i understand everything You guys are saying. the car is a concept and its my summer project so I'm just trying to make it as interesting as i can (less problems the a steady gf ;]). i was just trying to find a "perfect" speaker to play that range, that's why i wasn't going to invest $300 in this.... do it- see what happens deal... right now I'm working on getting a CDT ef-8, which was described as "mid bass" driver sooo that should fit this purpose nicely, shouldn't it?...
