Hmmm well I sort of got a new sub for now lol. 10" polk ex series II sounds better than my JL believe it or not. Still looking for some nice 8's though

Loved my 2 memphis 10's in my old zx2. Awesome sound! And they seem to last longer than anything out there! A coworker has a 12 in his wrx that's like 9 years old lol

Seriously I am shocked at this "new" polk my friend gave me(free!)

Best overall sound I've had in a sub

As for the 8's I've narrowed it down to the JBL gto's, the RE-8's, and memphis.

Sundown seems to have more excursion that what I'm looking for( keeping a sealed box)

Little torn though because I tested one of the shallow 13.5" jl's and it was just flippin awesome but for $500 for the woofer alone I'm hesitant. I can get the RE-8's for like $80 a pop and build my own box for half the price....

The RE-8 is a great sub! Put it in a small sealed enclosure and you won't be disappointed.
