That is a bad ass shirt you got on Hint Hint.. Team Big Jeff For Life.. Parker you are the man.. Also we are getting messages form your fans, they want you back on the POD CAST
A buddy of mine has 2 8s in his truck and man I was impressed at how they sound! Of course like you said nothing like 12s or bigger but man you can definitely hear him coming.
Everyone that hears mine thinks and says 12"s at first til I show and tell em it's quad 8"s. Good box and good subs on a good amp. Ds18 8"s on a JP23. Windshield flex and trunk lid looks like it's trying to leave the car.
They bang hard! I have in RAM1500 with SKAR 800 WATT AMP and they are legit! They them out, you won't be disappointed. Unless you're used to 15s or 18s haha
I started with 8s years ago and have grown into 18s now but I still have my 8s and play them all the time 😂 I love your videos bro! Keep up the good work 🤘
Thank you for doing a video that is for beginners or people who don’t/can’t spend a lot of money on car audio. Believe it or not there are actually people who don’t want to do 140’s or 150’s. Not being sarcastic at all, I just know many people that don’t understand us Bassheads. :). Peace out and keep up the awesome videos.
I went with the tropo’s over the sdr for one really simple reason. The surround on tropo’s are stiched to the cone. That’s it. Lol It’s just a temporary setup for me anyway. I have a jp83 about to go in on 2 fi mt 18s, 100ah of lifepo4 from underground power, and a 320amp irragi alt.
I have 2 out of 4 8” torpos in my crew cab truck and they hit so much harder and better and they are 200watts more per sub on everything they have but are 40 bucks more expensive give or take some different than skars on everything
I would go with CT. Unless you really don’t got the money but they are worth every penny my 2 8” are smacking around 2k about 1000 apiece and loves it although it’s rated for 800
I really like the look and specs of most of the CT stuff. Would love to do a big build but they don’t sell them here in the UK and shipping is crazy expensive from US to UK 😞
This is the only review I have found with the Tropo 8s and I appreciate it, even though I could tell you were not impressed. I built a quad 12" box for a friend with a '96 Impala and truly understand your point, but this is better than factory on any given day. Subbed
love the CT Sounds, got Four of the MESO 6.5's behind the seat in my silverado on a taramps 3k, also have two 10" STRATO's i toss in there on same amp. the 10's pound.
Ive went back on my recordings and indeed it doesn't do justice listening even with headphones but yuh do what you can. For sub and amp im running CT Sounds 10in 2ohm DVC in a proper sealed box with dimentions preffered by CT. Wired down to 1ohm into a CT 1000.1D monoblock amp. It does sound fantastic as my 04' Passat Wagon already came equipped with front 2way components with resistor boxes & fully insulated which sounds amazing with honestly no rattling. I do plan to get two Tropo XL 12s 4ohm DVC in one of their open boxes for when I go to my shows & events. With my setup including a Orion XTR750.4 which runs my components and a 2nd battery with battery isolator I received 3rd place at VolksFest this year. Going to be making my way to GermanFest at the end of the month and borrowing my hommies two Kicker L7 S's in a 30s tuned box wired @1ohm as it will fill the back better and should help the overall look and sound for the show as that single 10 doesn't look like much to the untrained eye even tho it sounds amazing.
I have 2 B2 Audio rage 8's on a jp95 in a custom enclosure tuned to 30 hz and they get down surprisingly well. They do bottom out from time to time when the bass knob is turned too far right though.
@@kingwillie206 Yeah, people dont realise you can literally build a box for a 6.5" sub tuned to like 35hz or so and it will still be WAY louder than any stock system.
Mannnn my & my brotha just put these in a 05 mustang gt yesterday. They are nice for what it id. Those little guys pack a punch. We'll upgrade to the meso 8s for the mustang
I have 3 8’s wired down to 1 ohm on a 1800 watt Audi pipe amp. And let me tell you those skar 8’s get down. Them 3 8’s flex the doors and roof, back window. With a deep bass.
That's more due to cabin resonance. Some cabins have surprisingly loud peaks. For example, I had a skar EVL-10 in my chevy S-10 and at 33hz it sounded LOUDER than a VXF-15 in my Honda CR-V... BUT, in the chevy S-10, if i went below 33hz down to like 28hz or so it would literally drop off by like 20db. I'm not even exhaggerating. You couldn't hear shit below 29hz. I literally tuned my box to 24hz and it sounded like it was still tuned to 33hz XD
Do they run great I'm trying to figure out which amp is the best to run these 2 8 inch ct sounds tropo because the rms rating 800watts and I'm trying to figure out if an 850rms @2omhs is too overpowering to these speakers idk if to wire them to 1omhs or 2omhs
In my experience i find ramping into a burp with these meters as their refresh rate sucks, a sudden full power burp usually won't read accurate all of the time therefore give different results which seems obvious here as you gained more db with no more power. Could also be why you get fluctuation when trying to find peak frequency.
Hey Parker. I have a single rockville distroyer 12. I'm looking for a good budget amp. What would you go with. I was looking into a skar 1200w. My budget is about $100-200.
Not sure what your vehicle setup is but alot of people hate on Skar. I tell you after being out of the audio game for a few years got back into it with a single SDR 12 in ported enclosure on 600rms in extended cab pickup and I'm impressed with it for Budget stuff.
Trying to replace my 12's and save space now this box fits that back shelf in my crown vic trunk perfectly but 39hz tuning i think is why they miss them lows, can we force 8's to sound good in a lower tuned box or is it just out of the 8 inch subs wheelhouse? I did try a 41hz box on a 8" top end 600 watt rms NVX sub and it was surprisingly loud just no lows then proceeded to put it in a 32hz box and the sub had like literally no output.
I have a question, so I am wanting more mid bass and pop in my current set up (2 sundown sa12 v2's on a sia 2500, Rockford tweeters, Memphis and jbl 6.5's on a boss 400. I was looking at midbass 8 inch speakers from Orion and hear they help with mid bass and have great clarity and loudness which I plan on adding anyways but would this be a decent addition to giving the bass lines more pop/punch in some songs while the 12's cover the lower end of things? I have a Kenwood 1000watt mono block from my old 15 I could throw on these so it'd be plug and play rather than fabbing something for 6x9's or 8 inch mid bass speakers. Do you have any thoughts or would these just get drowned out and not be noticeable with the 12's?
so im tryin to decide what i want inside my truck... i have a ram 2500 and am tryin to keep my back seat where it is so i was thinkin about getting a single 12 or dual 8s the stock sub was pulled out when i got the truck and its just missing a little something... what would you suggest?
I'm using these subs in a skar dual 8" enclosure. With a rockford 750.1 amp. Every time I turn up the bass on the knob my amp goes into protect. Gain is low and set at 80hz
I have a 18 inch tropo d2. One of my favorite subs. Do large sealed box and performs very well on 1200 watts. Ct sounds is alot like JL audio but alot less price wise.
What will vibrate the car better in the 8inch 2 meso or 2 sundown sa8 i dont know what to get or if i wanted 1 8 sub what is the loudest ever bass wise
Man I had my ct sounds ozone 12s for about a year, the spider screws came loose inside and the screw got stuck on the magnet and rubbed against the coil so one blew, reached out to ct sounds so they add loctite on those inner screws. I went deaf bonce now
I'm just waiting for 6.5s to finally hit lows like 18s or 24s so I don't have to try to fill up my trunk area. Newer cars have no trunk space like old schools do. Just sad.
Bro do reviews on there 12 meso 2 ohm wire to 1 ohm 3000w and 1500 rms i have 1 on there 1500.1d let me know just 1 slaps so hard my set up is in a 20006 envoy xl
Maybe do a video blowing up subs that are "disposable ". Record wattage they blow at and decibel rating. Or do a massive giveaway if you want to simplify your inventory of subs.
Dude fire the box at the roof you’ll gain DB and feel most all the notes. Trucks will not bang lows to the point of feeling the flex unless they’re poison up with the lower budget or single speakers.

Those are great numbers for something so small, that's an awesome little set of twins! Great job Parker!
I would love to see the comparison between Skar and CT!

Solid starter system or maybe for man cave .For the price run multiple enclosures. I think if it was me though 1 bad ass 12 would work.
HI!! PLEASE Could You tell me what's the Frecuency Response of this 8" THANK YOU!!!
Great video Parker as usual appreciate you keeping us up to date with all the car audio your a gem for real 😁
I just reviewed some 8” subs on my channel! I’m definitely a fan of them now! 😅🔊
Nice little set up. Great review Parker!
What box should I get then ? I want to play lows , and I listen to Mexican music with epicenter ? Thank you
That's the thing you get when you want your daily to have a little more bass without taking up a lot of space.
Exactly!
Yeah for real my single 12box in my extended cab is 20in long well that box is only 25". Didn't really think of it before I coulda fit 2 8s. Lol
Or a lot more bass if you are upgrading from stock.
@@kingwillie206 Yeah, people dont realise you can literally build a box for a 6.5" sub tuned to like 35hz or so and it will still be WAY louder than any stock system.
Also I know there's a difference between those and 2 12s inch but I'd there in big difference and punch?
Mannnn my & my brotha just put these in a 05 mustang gt yesterday. They are nice for what it id. Those little guys pack a punch. We'll upgrade to the meso 8s for the mustang
💪🏼💪🏼
How did it catch the notes?
Hey Parker what SPL Meter are u using. The only one I found is the sound lab meter that's like 250 bucks. I'm hoping there's a cheaper one available.
Need some input… should I go with 1 EVL 12 or 2 SVR 10s on my boat??? On 1500 watt Skar marine amp. What do you guys think???
Im going with a set of sdr 8 for a install I'm doing excited to see how it sounds
Don’t waste your time and cash thers plenty other options
I have 3 8’s wired down to 1 ohm on a 1800 watt Audi pipe amp. And let me tell you those skar 8’s get down. Them 3 8’s flex the doors and roof, back window. With a deep bass.
You’ll pay over half for what it cost something worth rebuilding... those are those are like disposable razors...
makes the DC audio subs that MBEnclosures been testing on even more impressive. His 2 8's doing over 140 db on music in a king cab dodge.
Mega cab dodge...
That's more due to cabin resonance. Some cabins have surprisingly loud peaks. For example, I had a skar EVL-10 in my chevy S-10 and at 33hz it sounded LOUDER than a VXF-15 in my Honda CR-V...
BUT, in the chevy S-10, if i went below 33hz down to like 28hz or so it would literally drop off by like 20db. I'm not even exhaggerating. You couldn't hear shit below 29hz. I literally tuned my box to 24hz and it sounded like it was still tuned to 33hz XD
Thanks for the review . Any amps that you recommend?
Which brand has cleaner and softer thumping bass? CT Sounds or DD Audio?
People love those size speakers for those small cars and truck setups.
for 200 bucks with the enclosure, these look great for a cheap and nice upgrade from stock
The audio seems weak, what kind of mic do you use Parker? Love your channel man
Great video.......Question..What 800 wRms would you recommend and in 12in or 15 in sub??
Just got 2-10’s and love them
You should do a free air test on the ct sounds meso 6.5
These are nice CT is a great sql brand but i always ran a pair of 12”s and 15”s bet these are punchy though
Have you ever considered trying a orion hcca 12???
I'm thinking of replacing my pair of rockford p3 12 with one
Orion FTW
You better have some serious power running
Nice thorough video. Def looking at these for my subaru
These sound pretty good for the size, I have a CT 1000.D mono amp running them in my work truck.
Do they run great I'm trying to figure out which amp is the best to run these 2 8 inch ct sounds tropo because the rms rating 800watts and I'm trying to figure out if an 850rms @2omhs is too overpowering to these speakers idk if to wire them to 1omhs or 2omhs
Get the skar svr package. It's closer in spec and price than the sdr.
In my experience i find ramping into a burp with these meters as their refresh rate sucks, a sudden full power burp usually won't read accurate all of the time therefore give different results which seems obvious here as you gained more db with no more power. Could also be why you get fluctuation when trying to find peak frequency.
I like the price and the Enclosure but I still like to build my own. It's a good deal for lot's of people though.
Always majorly life motivational to me.... Salute , blessings to everyone grind and motivations.....
Really Nice look build an performance pack... I like It👍
Hey Parker. I have a single rockville distroyer 12. I'm looking for a good budget amp. What would you go with. I was looking into a skar 1200w. My budget is about $100-200.

I'm sure you already figured it out but sounds like a bad ground connection
im gona do a double 8" to save a lot of space for now and make my stock system sound much nicer too. later ill go to dual 12s once
Those should be great for SQ and I'm with the other guy I like the shirt
Thanks man!!

I'm running these 2 subs off a rockford prime r2 750 and it always goes into protect when it's subbing. Please help

U would have to have at least 30 8 inch subs to make wind they don't even play low bass well
Great stuff for your chicks car. Nice though 👌
are they 800rms each sub ?
400 rms each

Kind of upset about the db score (it should be louder than the single 12 one)
No, a single 12 is more efficient than two 8s. It has 13% more surface area.

So close!!
1,200 watt 12 with 1,200 watt amp
Another reason why its alot less windy is because its tuned so high. 🤢🤮

That comment was gold i heard of a shelf queen
Get better 8s
Oh so you need 12 inches or more lol
Dude fire the box at the roof you’ll gain DB and feel most all the notes. Trucks will not bang lows to the point of feeling the flex unless they’re poison up with the lower budget or single speakers.
