    Quad 8 inch in sealed box - sounds great. Excellent value for the price point. Sounds great...
    I knocked off one star on the easy to install as you have to notch the hole slightly to allow for the binding posts to clear when dropping the subs in. I actually bought these some many months back, however, did not get around to building a box until this weekend. Now I wish I had sooner! My set up is a sealed box with the final wiring to 4 ohm and powered by a Kicker amp that pushes 300 watts at 4 ohm. The zip ties are for easy removal as I still am going to paint the box and then do the final wiring and reinstall the subs. I use a pair of speaker terminal posts rather than the recessed binding posts. I just prefer that on a sealed box. The SKAR 8 inch DVC 2 Ohm subs sound very good. I was running two 12 inch Kicker subs in a ported box. That came out and in went this weekend build. I played with little gain for about 2 1/2 hours then started adjusting it up some. They were ready to have more power, however, I want to let them break in proper as they say. Sound is good and they have a real nice punch when inside the passenger compartment. I have two SKAR 15 inch subs in a massive home theater ported box tuned to 22 hz. They do a great job and I am certain that these little 8 inch subs will not disappoint. After a week of commuting and playing music the box will come out for final prep and paint etc. I was smiling all the way in this morning. Give them a try and you just might be smiling too!GOD BLESSjohn
