Brad-
No, I have not considered two 8"- the bass extension is not enough IMHO
to make it worthwhile.

How much power were you running to the speaker? You need a lot of power
to
control the woofer properly- I have this problem at home, feeding only a
measly 60W to my speakers when they really need 200W or more to properly
control the woofers and keep it from getting too boomy.

IMHO, 100W RMS is not enough to run dual 10s. I'm planning on feeding a
DVC sub 160W to each coil, total 320W RMS and that's still somewhat
underpowered.

If I had a monoblock amp, I'd use it, but I already have this amp, so
that's
why I'm not feeding it more. I'd go w/ something like the JL sub amp-
250Wx1
at 4 ohms, goes to 500W at 2 ohms, that would do very nicely feeding the
sub, but I have the amp I'm using already.

I've not heard of many car speakers running 8 ohm- standard load is 4
ohms.

I plan on using a small sealed enclosure for a single 10 and from what
I've
heard so far, the JL 10W3 is not a bad SQ sub. Kickers are not known for
SQ,
nor are Cerwin-Vega, two of the other suggestions I've gotten.
