so you're willing to shell out more cash, so that you get a lighter setup weight wise, that will only perform like a 'normal' 10"
curious, I dont get it...
(then, I think I am going with 8's in my truck, as well, so meh....)

Buffdaddy gets it..
OK, you guys are killing me.. I have four woofers to review for the mag over the next two days, but if I get those done, I will do an extra test for y'all on a really cheap ten that should kick ***!! If my math works out and the stories I have been told are true..

No, no, no.. The e8a is a great little woofer. Very capable and will crank like a banshee!
The criteria for the CRX was to save weight and to be 'loud enough'. So, something equivalent to an ported 8-inch in terms of output, but weighs less is a better answer.
I am all for you going with the e8a, it is one of the coolest woofers around, especially for it's size.
I won't say any more untill I can do my testing.. Don't want to run off at the mouth or anything, and end up being wrong..

well,t he e8's are roughly 250 each...
and for that much moolah, you could find a pretty sturdy 10, or two...
I know you dont want to weigh down the car, but 40 or so pounds shouldnt make a great deal of difference unless you are 1/4 miling it, in which case you shouldnt have any speakers anyhow...
as for space, like Dave is saying, a 10 can be found that would probably fill up just as much room as the e8 in a ported..
but to each his own, its just fun to discuss
and meh, like i said , i'm looking at those 8's too,
i guess its all for the

Well, I passed that stage of blowing the doors off my cars....lol I just wanted something that will give me some nice quality low frequencies.
I wanted something that will "Just do the job" and do it well... without blowing my eardrums, or my cars' doors
The e8a is not for every application, but fits mine quite well....I think..hehe
We shall see when I get it.

all good points, and you are right in your thinking...
but I am simply arguing that basically, if you put equal time and thought into the box, amp, etc.... and I assume you would obviously do this
then a relatively comparable 10 can be found cheaper than that 8....
the e8 is a dope woofer, but I cant justify to myself the cost, but again, thats just me
I'd rather spend the 300 or so on two rather than one, I suppose
