Yeah I ran into that issue too, I considered an 8W7 for my rig but stuck with the dayton due to depth issues and enclosure size.

A ton of your weight is in wood, there are plenty of high-performance, no-frills drivers out there that don't weigh too much. My enclosure weighs in at 24Lbs un-loaded.

has anyone heard of DD? (Digital Design) they make amazing subs. you could get a DD 8 inch. it would pound real hard with the right setup.

Word... I need to check that out

but i like having everything the same brand

Like now i have all alpine

Ima be upgrading to this

http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=iDA-X100

And i think i might just go with a single 10-12 inch type R

i hear digital designs makes some awesome speakers all around.

I have a single type R. Def enough bass. I think I need a cap though because I can only turn the sub up to about 8 or 9 and then it all shuts off. BTW it goes up to 15 and let me tell you, 9 BUMPS! So 15 will def bump hard!

currently have a 10" L7 in a kicker ported box. It takes up about half the trunk but it's fairly loud with 800w.

[danielakatoxic]

these are hella expensive, hit hard, and very lightweight.

I've seen where folks get an 8 and put it in a cardboard tube used for forming concrete. even if you fiberglassed it, it still wouldn't weigh shit!

Check out elemental designs subs. I switched from dual 12"s to a single 13Ov.2 and love it. These guys make high quality, affordable stuff. Box is only 1cf too.
