best 8" woofer

[Alexnick]

Which is the best 8" woofer for a 3 way bass-reflex floorstander, in a 50L box?
Price around 60$! In my country it will be ~37% more!

Thank you!

Hello
in 50 liters i have proved Peerless HDS205 and it sound very good
Middle are Monacor DMH150 (Dome driver) and tweeter is the Vifa PL27
The cut filter for HDS205 is at 750 Hz in a second order LR

 

[Alexnick]

Does it have punch?
Can you feel the bass at high volumes, in your chest let's say?

> cut filter @ 750 Hz

> cut filter for HDS205 in a second order is 750 Hz

Man that sounds high. Is it smooth > 400 Hz?

Hello again and sorry for my english
The cut filter is obligated for de Midle Dome Driver, the fs of Monacor DMH150 is 350 Hz
But both Drivers works well at high volume, I only ear the music at high volume during the proves of filter construction
With a 4" diameter (10 cm) of the tube reflex it not seems a Boomy BR but is very dinamic and full of energy

Best regards

And the box is a very solid costruction

I want something that will be cut ~150-300hz!
So any better ones?

Hi-Vi D8.8

I want something to go lower maybe F9-10 at 20hz in a vented enclosure of max 50L!
Is it possible?

still test fitting, so I havent really heard one yet

but you may want to also research the peerless xls 8" model # 830491

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

 

[newtitan]

and if that doesnt work (especially since you have so much volume avaialable)

look for a tc2+ (tc sounds) 8" may be a bot more costly but is worth it

 

[Alexnick]

Yup, that's the one I had my eyes on, too!
But I'm thinking: Is there anything better than that, in the same price range?

Sorry, I was looking fast over the topic, so I did a mistake, huge mistake!
The woofer that caught my eyes (even though it's far away from being
ideal) was 213 SWR 39 115 THSX AL 8 OHM - 830667
I liked the woofer, but I want a more linear FR response in a 50L@25hz box!
