I don't think he like the port length of the ed box

I've got some 8" focal polyglass subs.(Focal-21V2) While the 9mm Xmax seems pretty small, I can say with confidence that they safely can handle 300+ watts each in a 13 liter sealed box. While they are a bit more expensive than the eD8A, I can highly recomend them for SQ.

Have fun!

I would say go with an eD sub if you can afford it.
I had the 10 in a ported box and it sounded awesome. I'm sure the 8's would sound good as well. (I originally wanted to try the 8a myself, but decided to go with the 10)

I thought more port area was a good thing?

Anyways I think the 8a would be awesome to do and if you get creative why not get an ABC box built?

Well, today I got my Zapco AG750.
Now I am waiting to pick up the AG350...
Once I get it, I will install them,then I'd like to try soem 8" subs in my crx to see if they do teh job...

I am leaning towards Kicker 8L7. They are lighter than the 8a Or the JLW7...and still produce a ton of sub power ! Remember, I have a crx which doesnt require a ton of power to get some nice BOOOOOOM !

One 8 inch sub I've always loved is the JL Audio 8W6. Nice, tight sounding, but has great low end as well..

The Elemental enclosure is for 0.5 cubes tuned around 34 or 35.. Check out that port length!! ACK!

As for that Kicker enclosure, get the vent on the same plane as the driver, less headaches.
