Looking for a Good quality 8" Subwoofer

I am in search of a good quality 8" subwoofer for a bedroom system but I am having trouble finding something at a reasonable prices. Around 100-120. Only thing I have found is the Elemental Designs drive but I hate hate hate logos. I did not get into DIY projects to have someones logo all over my stuff. I wanted to get a TC2+ 8" but I know of nobody who has it and buying direct is wicked expensive.

Any help would be appreciated.

For an inexpensive unit, this TB does well. It has a foam surround so you can only expect around 15 years out of it but it's not bad for around $40 US.

www.apexjr.com and their Super 8 sub, they also do a plate amp that goes well with it.

You could buy an Adire Audio Extremis, it's not a 8" but...
100$

I second that, the Soundsplinter drivers are quite nice for the price ($150ish for one, $130ish each if 2 or more), and as stated, they are TC sourced .

/(edit) just realized they're over your budget

power handleing

What is the power handleing for the Apex Jr.?

specs on the tc look better to me, much larger xmax and fs is considerably lower too.

Monacor SPH-212 is an 8" woofer with Fs of 30hz; and comes in at 70€ or something.

I bought this one with some SPH-60X drivers from Monacor. The latter ones are in 9 liter bassreflexes boxes in the back of this picture.

The woofer in front is the one that will go in my Ambiorix subwoofer. Search the forum for the thread if you want some ideas.

I don't know how it sounds yet.
I'm *still* waiting for the 18mm MDF to be delivered in my local shop ...
