Phoenix Gold Phorum

ok so ive never heard any 8inch woofers, let alone pg ones. but im looking at buying some for my convert. im looking at some trantrum 8's, some xs 8's and xmax 8's. i originally wanted to run 4, and i can get 4 tantrums, but only 2 xs or xmaxs. just looking for some input guys, any help and comments are appreciated! thanks.

I have 2 XS 8's sitting in my garage brand new in the box been sitting there for about 8 years. I am not sure how well they sound eventually I am gonna put them in my doors.

I was benching a system the other day:

Treo SX75.4 running PG Tantrum 6.5 CS
Alpine VR-300 (600RMS) bridged to 3x RF P2 10's in a ported box.
Sounded very good to excellent.

I have 2X Klipsch 8" woofs in a sealed box for my test bench. so I connected them bridged (150RMS) to the "other" side of the Treo.

Results were nothing short of outstanding. These 2 8" woofs gave the system that little extra fill in the 100-225 hz range and complimented the RF's seamlessly.

You sound like you are looking to use 8" woofs as your prime LF driver. I suggest they will be adequate, but don't expect them to beat your chest. Perhaps add a 12" or a pair of 10" in the trunk to drive those low notes.

i was actually thinking about a 12 or 15 ( prlly 12 for space reasons ) i just purchased 3 sapphire 12's off ebay. i thought about using one of those, or maybe a new rsdc 12. i can get a ti 15 that id really like to use but im worried about space. id like to lean towards sq but with it bein' a convert spl for loudness reasons may be to my advantage for hearing. so if i run a single woofer ( 12/15) should i still run 4 8's or just run a pair of 8's in the front kicks and still run my 5.25 comps in the doors/pillar pod?? what hz would be a good crossover point from the single woofer to the 8's then from the 8's to the comps?
