Default Looking for SUB not much room

Is there a nice Sub woofer that is 8" wide by no more the 4" high. I want to work on a small project on my second car.

Thanks in advance

i have no idea how the quality is on these subs, but i was looking around and was amazed by how small they are. 2'' install depth.

if that link doesn't work it is a pioneer ts-w203F 8" sub

it is free air, not sure if that's what you want.

it is a discontinued model but last time I checked some online retailers still had them.

there's more on pioneer's site under "older models"

I'm not sure. Probably is. It doesn't look like it would require a big magnet since it doesn't push much power.

I didn't actually buy one I was just found that a while back.

since i am a JL audio fan, i really like this one. i read that you didn't care about quality as much...but if you do want quality, the JL Audio 8W3v2 is something you should consider. one thing about JL audio products that drives many people away is the higher price. you do get what you paid for though.

---------------------------------------------------
The 8W3v2 is a remarkable 8-inch subwoofer with very long excursion capability, designed to extract maximum performance from moderate power levels. This speaker works extremely well in very small sealed and ported enclosures while its dual voice coil design gives the user a high degree of application flexibility.

Nominal Diameter: 8 inches (200 mm)
Continuous Power Handling: 125 Watts
Voice Coil: 1.43" diameter, 4-layer, Kapton former
Available Configurations: Dual 2 ohm, Dual 4 ohm or Dual 6 ohm
Xmax (one-way, linear): 0.38" (9.5 mm)
Sealed Enclosure Range: 0.30-0.50 cu.ft. (8.5-14.0 liters)
Ported Enclosure Range: 0.60-0.90 cu.ft. (17.0-25.5 liters)
VRC™ Technology: YES
Elevated Frame Technology: No

BTW, I think what you really should say is 4" DEEP. An 8X4 sub doesn't exists. An 8" sub that is 4" deep or less is possible. 8X4, doubt it.

What kind of car/project are you trying to build? Maybe there's another solution.

Thanks for all the great tips....... The back of my Toyota Fun Cargo I want to put to subs but I took the panels off and took some measurements and 8" would work best and the depth is 4 1/2 deep. So I figured getting two if I can find some being 8"x4" would work best. I want it to look like it came that way thats why i need something in that size.

My 4x4 looks kind of like this but I dont want a box in the back....... Im always using this one for picking stuff up so I need the little room I have in the back and my back seats fold down, holds alot. If i have to I will just put a powered sub under the passengers seat but only if i have too.

okay, the JL Audio 8 inch W3V2 has a mounting depth of 4.31". just shy of your 4". you think you can make it work? OR is the 4" depth or smaller requirement the absolute must?

I can try and find you a Illusion Audio ND8. Those things are like 2.5 inches tall. Rare find though, they are discontinued.

Half way through the page, the one with CF cone.

Audio ND8 & JL Audio 8 inch W3V2......... I like both of these but I dont have much room behind the panels. Do I need to make a enclosed box or are they free air type.

How much do these go for?

The JL looks

Thanks guys
