8 inch Woofers

I know this might be pointless but i wanted to know if anybody has ever won a worldchampionship off of 8 in woofers or seen any sign of life that this small of a woofer might get the job done .

I know that some superports have been won with 8" subs. I have one that will do a 180. I think Matt SIbley did a 182.1 with an 8".

8in woofers are very capable of winning, One of my old teammates, has seen in execess of 155db with 2 8s. We have designs floating around for 16 18 20 and 24 8s
:O

i thought so big guy was just thinking its alot of cone area but also alot of subs to work with

Some of the Meca guys running TrueBass 8s have won championships.

wow i did not know that[/b]

well i will know tommrow maybe. i just got my amps back and built a box for 8 8's in a wall in a rex. got to get everything hooked up and charge the batteries and i will put the meter on the car.

is that the box ure going to use bigbass

yep. it's not a full wall but there is not much open room on the top and sides.

well dont seem to be alot of port either man, and to ive some helpfull advice you might wanna build 3-4 box's with differant port sizes to see wich is louder.

a great competitor builds 20-30 box's a year.

what im saying is ure subs dont have enough breathing room man alor of pressure will be retained inside that bos due to the amount of subs you are running.

hope this helps you, but try that one first and see how it does

yaeh i know about the boxes. i've got a whole room full of boxes. i figure after about 4 or 5 boxes in the rex i will know if it works or not. if not no big deal go back to either 10's or 12's. i just had the wild idea to try 8's no real reason just i hadn't heard of anyone doing it in a rex.

8's will work great man just need to work with the box

i haven't put the meter on my 8's yet. i am still cleaning up the fire ext powder mess from when i had the ma amp on fire.
here is the link to the post of the amp after flames

https://usaci.forumotion.com/get-loud-f5/help-keep-burning-up-amps-t3682.htm


i got the back end cleaned up and got the subs and amps in and poped it a few times just to get a taste, but i am not going to meter it till i clean the rest of it out and get my remote gains wired in.

i have 2 dd m3's, one m3 per 4 ma audio xe 8's 1/2 ohm. might get intresting.

Try to search myspace if you have it.
It's Chris Gregorys myspace page for team truebass.
If you go into the search catagory - people- and type in team true bass.

well the m3's were too much for the ma 8's. the subs are not blown yet but if i keep trying it won't take too much longer. i am going to sell these and if i try 8's again i will try the xl 8's or possiblly db, or dd's.

until i get these sold i am going to try my 9918 in the same box i have the 8's in.
