Thanks for all the info folks, I was looking into the 8" Kickers and also Image Dynamic ID8v.3,MA Audio MA800XL,and the JL Audio 8W6 which really kinda caught my eye. Any thoughts?

 

Elemental Designs 9Kv2.

 

the ID and JL, as well as the kicker, will all things being equal destroy the MA Audio. MA is a decent 'low end' brand, basically. JL and ID are mid-to-high, depending on who you ask. However you SHOULD be able to get like 4 MA 8's for less than 200 I would imagine.

However, I dunno if you can GET the JL or the Kicker for that price....MAYBE the ID, but I am not sure.

the ED is a good choice of a lot of people 'round here also...and might be a BIT cheaper.

Maybe you can connect with some of the BC guys off here that work/run shops and see what they have to offer so you can listen to them first, perhaps.

 

Kicker dosent have much on MAaudio if you ask me...

The L5 or L7 8s are alright but I dont think you are going to find them for $200 a pair.... On the other hand XE 8s will easily compair to the CompVR 8s and if thats not good enough you could go for the XLs...

Not saying Id necassarily buy MA either... but if you can find it dirt cheap thats always a bonus...

Edit: those tangband 8s Exmax mentioned are pretty kick ***, with a decent price too... Although I remember seeing them for $32US each ???
