Hello,
I am currently in the market for a 8" woofer to use in a 4 ways active monitor design and looking for some advices.
It will be used in a sealed box from 80Hz to 500/650Hz with a Morel EM 1308 so i need it fairly flat that range, low distortion is also a requirement. As for the Xover itself i'm using a dsp so fine tunning isn't an issue.
I don't really care about sensitivity either as my listening spot is about 1.5m.
For the material i'd prefer (treated)paper or composites as i'm not a fan of aluminium (my current woofers are alu i know their pros and cons).
And for the price per unit i'd like to keep it under 120€/130$.
After some research i had some candidates like:
-SEAS Prestige CA22RNY SEAS H1471-08 CA22RNY - 8" Subwoofer
-Peerless 830868 Nomex Peerless by Tymphany HDS-P830869 - 8" Woofer
But i'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the question and answers, the scan-speak driver seems like it might be what I’ve been liking for...

4-way with 8” as woofer? Why? Or is the 8” the midbass?
I have had great results with this in sealed, not sure about its lifecycle though it’s getting old:

The Peerless 830869 Nomex Nylon cone woofer is excellent. Easy to use. Highly recommend. Flat on and off axis out to 3K. A sleeper driver I am surprised is not more popular. J
Superb 18 Sound pro driver
Hey Anmet,
I have attached a sim for this: Eighteen Sound - Professional loudspeakers, a superb 8 inch driver that I have used in small sealed box as part of an active system and using a little bit of Eq the results over the 80hz to 650Hz band are superb.
The Mms 14.9g / Bl 10 ratio is very good and the build quality is fantastic.
A pair hold 110dB continuous SPL (AES rated) and hit 116dB peaks if required, I used two per side in an MTM with a full ranger in between.
Hope this helps and good luck.

I have this 8" Audax HM210 C0 for a three way sealed box. Haven't finished yet - fingers crossed.

I have a pair of SB23MFCL-8 that will be used for sealed bass with some EQ on the low end - linear coil travel 21mm P to P.
