I just got my new Morphenspectra footwell sub-woofer enclosure and now have to decide on a speaker for it.
I'm thinking of going Rockford Fosgate. I have the adapter ring so an 8" will work. Anybody have a recommendation? Rockford Fosgate P2D48 8" Sub. Attached image(s) |

if you have more box than recommended for the sub (.50 really isnt big at all, at least compared to the 2.0's i had with my dual 12''s back in my protege days) then it will sound wrong, really boomy and uncontrolled. You need to closely match the sub to the box. is this a sealed or bandpass box? I'm going to assume sealed. You need 2-3 times the power of your speakers for a sealed box to hit correctly. otherwise it just sounds weak. amps are important, since you're shopping for RF's, i'm going to assume you're also shopping for sony xlpod amps...dont do this.
Go with JL or memphis audio. I like memphis because they rate conservatively and dont bullshit you with peak 9000watts like sony xplod does. look for RMS and match that to the sub's RMS if you can. the money is in the amp-sub combo. get this right, and you've got something awesome. also, never skimp on wires... |
