where to buy 8" high excursion sub in EU ? - Click HERE for Original Thread
wingman
Hi all

Iīm looking for 8-10 8" high excursion subīs.
iīm planing to use them in my car in a sealed cabinet. It will give the WOW efekt :D and i hope i can make it sound nice :att'n:

But every time i find a good wofer it is in US. And it will cost my far to must in shipping and taxīs.

Thank you for helping me

will HI-VI D8G 8" WOOFER from partexpress be a good choice ? and where to buy in EU ?
SkinnyBoy
ported box would be WAY better.... you can get the "wow" effect with two 8's in a ported box... lol that can be quite easily heard form half a block away..... :D
wingman
I know but i like the sound af seald better and i can have the space for more woffers !

yes, and you'll need more woofer to even get the same dB output at lower frequencies.... and more power.. :p

it will also depend very much on the woofers as to if they are really suited to a sealed box....

my friend has two of these:



the box was sealed before he had time to go buy a port, the bass was there, BUT IT SUCKED!!! 90litre sealed, yea, too large really..... once it was ported, the bass is amazing for a couple of cheap 8inch subs... I still can't believe it actually... lol

Hi Wingman
You know 8 inch units are better for tight quick bass, but you will need 12 if you want to make your life eaay, to get that big bass wave! I used 8's but the box size is to large and now adays 12 can run in 30 to 40 liters, I noticed you said you like tight bass, then a sealed box is better, what do you think of this Blob!
Nisbeth
Wingman, start by contacting
www.frequence.dk
www.q-sound.dk
www.danskaudioteknik.dk
and see what they have available.


Oh, if it were me, I would buy as many Peerless 10" or 12" XLS drivers as I could afford instead :xeye:

Thanks for reply !

If i canīt get any 8" in a sealed box that will play low. then i need 4 10" in sealed box that will do it.

I do not want XLS 10".
Paradise_Ice
Wingman, dont you like scan speak? they can play quite low,
The peerless is a little to round sounding to me, its not a tight sound, in other words, i may be wrong, but that's just me.
I think Vifa have a new woofer out that could be used for in car.
If you want to see some interesting subwoofers, look here
www.shadowworks.co.uk
Just let me know what you think thats all.

The Peerless SLS8 does look quite good in 40l sealed.
Found it whilst looking for a mate to my Tangband W3-871S.
:devilr:

iīll look in to that. But 40L
:bigeyes:

You didnīt mention that you need your boot otherwise.;)

Maybe you should do a research on "URPS" (under resonance principle subwoofer).
Here you use a sub-driver in a much too small cabinet.
I donīt know much about it except that it eats piles of watts.

How about these?

You could also take two cheaper drivers and make a compound system where the cabinet size will halve in contrast with having one driver.

Have you ever used any Dyna Bel woofers,

I am interested to see if you like them at all?

I like them alot ! BRONZEŪ i the first Bronze colour sub i have seen COOL ! But where are the 10" sub ?

i have never used Dyna Bel subs
Paradise_Ice
Wingman,
Its a shame you have never used Dynabel, they have some very good subwoofers,
Am glad you like the Bronze, it is anodized Bronze as my brother loves the MAD MAX movies!
I do not have 10 inch woofers, UK car people only want bigger subwoofer, i like 10inch better myself!
I hope next year i can make a 10 inch subwoofer, I have many more designs that i will make next year,
Can you think of any other companys that make good woofers in your country?

shadowworks subīs what do they coast ?
Paradise_Ice
Wingman Some are expensive and some a very cheap,
I dont want to tell you price on this forum, i dont think thats allowed, they can post to anywhere in the world.
the Judge Red is my favourit, it goes very deep and is very tight!
but the Nemesis is faster with a Carbon cone, They all sound different, so there is something for everybody.:angel:
