im glad atleast some people are giving you models of product, it is so funny to have somone come into the store and think there getting the best thing on earth just cause it says JL or Rockford, its all about what it is, not what name it has.

dont you think an hx2 12" is completely against what he asked for? He said 8" and not expensive.

I would seriously go with the JL 8W6. I haven't heard a better sounding 8 inch woofer until I heard these. I now have 3 8W6's in a sealed box, but haven't had it in my car in a long time. but anyways it sounds really good

It's going to be pretty hard to get your hands on a W6 though. The W3 should get louder. I have an older W1 that I really like.

The Solo L5's would have a hand up on almost any 8" out there as it has so much more cone area.
