    Either of the 2 lowest end (Comp and CompVR) Kickers will work. The better one is also available as a DVC and has better power handling, so there is some flexibility as far as impedance goes.

    The "VT" stands for "Very Thin", there is plenty of mounting depth available.

    I was communicating with Grizz Archer about adapting the new Soundstream "Nano" 8" to this design. Should be about $80ish apiece and will handle an honest 300 watts each, easily. Unfortunately, it looks like it might be a while until those come out.

    in the meantime, the RE 8" is on closeout: http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_...roducts_id=785

    If the Qts were a bit higher, I would have no issue using that woofer. Might be a bit flatter in the upper bass, but should boom pretty solid...for those who just don't want a kicker.

    BTW, we have 1 black 'vert box ready to ship right now. That would be the first one we have built that was not pre-sold...so if you are on the fence, jump on this one.

      I have a potential money saving tip for any fellow R3Vers who are still buying the pieces for their cabrio subwoofer system.
      I wanted the 4ohm DVC Kickers, and the cheapest I could find them brand new was $100/ea.
      I found a website called onlinecarstereo that had an older model 07CVR8 listed for $80/ea and decided to go with that.
      When the package showed up today, they sent the newer model, 10CVR8 instead.
      So basically I saved $20/ea on the speakers.
      No guarantee that if you order them they will send the same, but maybe worth a try.
