I am looking for a good set (2) of 8" subs. I want to stay with a 8" because im driving a super tiny geo metro and space is extremly limited, so if i want a proper enclosure the subs themselves have to be little. I really dont know brands that well, but im looking for somthing thats going to be cheap but not terribly poor quality. any ideas are welcom.

It al depends on how much you want to spend and what type of sound you are looking for. JL has a great 8" sub and I do beleive that it sells for over $300. http://www.jlaudio.com/subwoofers/8.html

MTX has the T5508-04, T5508-44, The first is a SVC and the second is a DVC

Crutchfeild has the T4508-04 MTX 8" woofer for $69.99

LIKE I said though, it really depends on what you expect out of your system.

You just give them a call and they will refer you to a dealer in your area, and if there is not one, they will sell to you direct.

thanks aneonrider, dont know why my google searches didnt come up with that site.. but anyway I'm also getting a new amp. how are the ones from Resonant Engineering? Or could someone again recommend one thats relativly inexpensive but not crap. Im not trying to be cheap, just on a budget. If it gives you any idea about the kind of sound im looking for... i am currently running 2 8" RadioShack subs on a 500w pyramid amp in an enclosure that is would be close to the right volume for a sealed, but have two big holes cut in the front. Makes you wanna cry right? So basicly anything will be an improvment. :D. I atleast have an ok HU. Its a sony cdx-650m...

I bet you could fit 2 10s in that car w/o giving up much space. Something you should look into, 10s sound worlds better then 8s.

You should look toward Blaupunkt OverDrive series http://www.blaupunktusa.com/BlaupunktUSA/Products/Speakers/Overdrive/Subwoofer/ODw1000.htm

The specs very conservatives and the take very little space...

If you can find a dealer in your area drop by and listen to them

those look cool but for $400ea i think its a bit outta my price range when i could get the set of RE's for about $120. im really trying to stay under $200 for the set.
