8" sub for sealed enclosure

[jolly_26 10+ year member]

Wanting to buy an 8" sub for a sealed enclosure; I only have 0.7cu.ft. to work with unfortunately. May be interested in a pair as I can do a box behind each seat that size, but probably just one as I am trying to keep weight down.

Would prefer something that hits the lows well even sealed, so a low fs is essential. Was planning for SQL, but decided I'd go lightweight, and keep full seat movement for my passenger so it'll be hard.

Shipping will be to New Zealand, and budget is flexible, not yet sure if it's even worth importing so lets see what comes up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Bump? Anyone got a pair of 8s for cheap that would do well sealed?

If your baffle is just a little over 8", you won't have room to mount the sub. I think a normal 12 spoke 8" has an outter diameter of 8.5"+ if I remember correctly. Matter of fact, all of the 8" subs I know of have an outter diameter of atleast 8.5".

Yeah... I only mentioned it because I had trouble fitting 4 8s on my baffle because of this. Had to angle the subs to get them all to fit. If you have a hair over 8.5 you could possibly make it work..

**** it I'm going to run the 1500 watt SPLaudio 12" sealed in 0.7cu.ft. for a while. Passenger will lose a fair bit of foot room but it'll give me some bass for a while until I sort something else out.
