They'll get deep

The way they'll play has more to do with the box they're in rather than the sub itself.

[QUOTE=nedmac007;5443064]but wont the 8's just not be able to get as deep as the tens? i mean they are smaller
/[QUOTE]

very common misconception.

You have to know how to make a good enclosure and tune properly

Ive heard some crazy 8s this summer.

4 1508 DDs made me REALLY wanna run 8's in my car. The box was as big as it would of been for 2 10" subs but I was impressed.

It doesn't have to be for a g35, you can fit a pre made box in there. Can't you?

How they garbage? don't want to dump $350+ in a custom box.
I don't have 8's but you gave me an idea. Honestly, i think 2 10's in a ported would be better for me. I want deep low bass, with some spl and some sq, more spl though. Which 8's do you recommend? Or which 10's? I had RE audio and Sundown audio in mind.

box won't cost 350

More like 150-200

Sundown sa-12 would be fine

It's has the perfect blend of sq and spl. Works in smaller enclosures compared to most 12's too.

I was quoted 300 for a single 12 ported. So not sure how 3 8's ported would be cheaper.
I'm going with prefab, wouldn't 2 10's be better than a single 12?

a sub is only as good as the box it's in

If you wanna half *** it, go right ahead.

Whoever quoted you 300 for a 12" box is tryin' to rip you off

Box building material including glue, screws, and carpet is less than 70 bucks.

Alright, I don't believe I'm half a**ing it but thanks for your help.

Honestly running spl subs in a ported box listening to rap/techno will do fine with a pre fab. Thats fine if you have a different opinion.

Not really

Most prefabs are tuned too high and don't have enough port area

Sealed you can usually get away with.
