Trying to decide on some subs for my 92 vette. These will be going into the mostly sealed rear speaker boxes. Volume is an estimated 0.4 cuft, with 900rms at 2 ohm of power available.
I was looking at the nvx 8, it's the cheapest at 50 bucks and so has a foam surround and paper cone, but does have a shorting ring.
Also considering the soundstream r3 8". Not much info, slightly more money at 70 bucks, but has a rubber surround and poly cone. No mention of a shorting ring, and very little info as far as reviews or anything. Could be a cheap sub trying to cash in on a once respected brand. I don't like spiders.
Then there's the perennial favorites, the Dayton audios. The reference ho and ultimax both are like 120 bucks, both fit spec wise, and both could work. Lots of good press on the ho, less reviews for the ultimax, but people say it sounds good, but the o is more natural sounding (whatever that means).
Thoughts?
