Great sounding subs

The Digital Designs 1508 is a pint sized powerhouse designed for a vented enclosure.

The "old" Image Dynamics ID8 is a well behaved, no surprises, sealed enclosure player.

I've also got my Hertz ML3800 15" sub sitting in my spare bedroom after I changed the trunk layout to house only amplifiers (and a tank and compressor). If you can spare the space, a 15" is one hell of an experience. As of right now, I really appreciate the 8" woofer's tonal accuracy and lack of slop (thank you enclosure)...the kicks are correct with the 8...

I understand the enclosure idea but I don't really feel the need for 2, I have a liftback and don't need thumping base, just good sound. I didn't know if there was a lower power sub that was a good as the 800+.
