Hey all, new to here
So I have managed (I think) to nail down a few subwoofers that I am going to consider. I have been racking my brain trying to decide. I am going to be ordering online and won't be able to hear them first. I would love to get some input from some pro's out there on what they might think may be the best. I am trying to go small, I used to have a 12 but took up too much space. I am not looking for a sub to blow my ears out, just a nice complete sound.
What do you think from these choices?
Audio Bahn - AW105IT 10" Dual 4 ohm300/600 2khz - I kh 91 db
JL - 8W3V2 8" Dual 4 ohm 125
Image Dynamics- ID8D4V3 8" Dual 4 ohm 150/300 22.8 85.6db
Rockford Fosgate - RFP3208 8"Dual 4 ohm 250/500 35 - 200 hz 84
RE - RE series 8" Dual 4 ohm 175/250 81.2 db
Kicker- CVR8 8" Dual 4 ohm 200 30 - 500 hz 83db
I am thinking about the Image Dynamics from what I read and the RE sounds nice ( I cannot find a dealer though).
Thanks for any help

All are 8's except the audiobahn because I just happen to see and audiobahn at a store in a box that was pretty small. I want to go small because I want as much trunk space as possible. I may be considering some tens but not sure yet. So many choices!

Take a look at the 11kv2 (its really a 10 inch) but it will work in .4 - .6 cubes sealed and .8 - 1.0 cubes vented. Almost no space at all. [img]smile.gif[/img]
The canadian dealer for eD is www.genuinecanadianaudio.com

the ea design look nice but the recommended width is 16", i am hoping to stay 13"or under. That is why I thought a 8" would best suit me. I think I am leaning towards an RE (still trying to find out how to get one) or a kicker. The 10" CVR10 kicker has a recommended width of 13.5 while the CVR8 has only 11" width.
Still trying to investigate before the final choice.
Thanks for the input anymore is apreciated

Okay so I have changed my mind ( I know I know) I have decided to go with a 10". I have been told/read that 8" do not go that low and act as more a mid bass. My problem is still size as I want a small enclosure and see that sealed is the best for me.
I was considering the kicker CVR10 because Kicker on their manual give and enclosure with a 13.5" width ( the width is really what I am worried about). My question now is other subs like the Rockford Fosgate say an 15" width is ideal for their enclosure. Can you take measurements off from dimensions and add them elsewhere to make up the difference? Like 15 x 10x 12 and make it a 13 x 12 x 12?
My head is spinning and I am trying toget the best ideas before I nail down a sub. Prefer to stay under the $150 range too.
Thanks for allthe help guys!
