Sorry to dig up an old thread, I was just running some numbers for the TB 8". Anyone know if this sounds like a decent design? .9 cubic feet, tuned to 35hz? Here are the T/S parameters: http://www.tb-speaker.com/detail/1208_03/w8-740c.asp

The Vent Velocity peaks at around 13.5 m/s at 32hz, shouldn't be noisy, that is with a slot port, 4" high, 2" wide, and 14.9" long. Anyone else have some input? Thanks!!

Or, as has been suggested time and time again in similar discussions, go with a basic 10-inch sub in the same size or smaller enclosure, should work fine and offer a lot more efficiency with the same amount of power.

You can get an entry level Kenwood, Clarion, Pioneer or Alpine for well under $100... and have an easy to deal with waranty.
Hmmm, alright thanks!
