    well if you have the room.the 8 8's will have more cone area.

    what amp do you plan on running the subs you choose

    40 watts rms and 65 max...sure just dont over power them.

    also why use 8 8's for everyday then use 2 15's for comps.

    those 8's will have 2x the cone area.hell even 4 12's will have more cone area

    hmm so u think im better off w/ the 8 8s for comps... and it actally makes sense lol the more the cone area the more air it pushes right?? and the more air the more spl??? so ill see if i get enough cash for my bday lol...also do u think these subs handle every day abuse?? cuz ive got a friend who wants a system but is a lil short on the cash so im thinkin bout 4 12s or 6 8" and use a RF amp to power them and get a cheap amp for the speakers

    how much power is "everyday abuse"?

    if you will have 6,then 100 per should do it.

    i'd rather go for the 4 12's

    they can take more abuse...you'll reach the mechanical limits of the 8s sooner than the 12s

    wouldnt it depend on the power going to them?

    well yeah.


    also pedro I dunno where you got your numbers but the four 12s would have more cone area

    4 12's would have 2080 sq cm of cone area

    while 8 8s would have 1760 sq cm of cone area

    would be cool.

    hmm kool then 4 12's + it is lol....and do they pound if not overpowerd and in a good box??

    well from eD's website the 8 has 220cm^2 of cone area....times that by 8

    not really a formula for it...cone area of one sub multiplied by the number of subs

    there is no need to overpower the EHQS 12's...they will do perfectly fine with 150 watts each
