Guys, help me choose a good workbench sub. One that can be used to test out different ideas and things. Interested in operating range down to low 30s and one that doesn't require a huge box and fits on my CNC
A high performance 8" would be perfect. Something that is well sorted and fairly well known. Also, something that suits BR and TL cabs
I have been looking at this one as a candidate for a bench sub. Any other promising 8s?

This sub is really growing on me. My only reservations are if it has enough power for experiments in really pushing port performance. Dont want something that fails when raising port velocity to test theories
Dayton Audio RSS225HF-4 is a popular choice for subwoofer builds due to its good performance for the price. It has a frequency response down to 28Hz.
Scan Speak 2030 Revelator is a higher-end option that offers excellent performance. It has a frequency response down to 26Hz.
Seas CA22RNX is another high-end option with a frequency response down to 24Hz.
Thanks for the suggestions. I can't seem to be able to get any hits for the Dayton except for this one below which is available from a supplier who would ship to my location. But this driver reads more like a car sub and I am looking for a more home style driver

Also, no hits for the Scan Speak. 2030. This one below is available from the same store but out of budget for now

Got excited to see the Seas CA22RNX available locally for a good price, but then noticed the notice about availability and stocking. They only have one left and won't be getting anymore. Good find here for anyone after a single driver, but a stocked item would be better for benching sub. I have some things that I want to try with dual opposed and such setups

The 7" Dayton Epique always piques interest and is a good price. I ordered a pair of Dayton reference passives recently and none of the gluing is concentric. It seems they have a wider tolerance for placing components down, and I wonder if the Epique is built with more accuracy. Can anyone confirm the assembly quality on the Epiques? I wouldn't mind adding a pair to the parts bin if the build quality is good
Won’t be small.
Your inquiry made me bemoan the disappearance of the CSS SDX7 (tweaked) which would suit your needs in a small sealed box and sealedis muchg happier if youuse EQ,
