By the time you buy/build your custom built amp, why not save the hassle and get used Vandersteen 2W's? They have tripple 8" drivers and 300w amp built in, and are eminently musical. You are correct that the pairing of smaller drivers yields a "quicker" sub. They take the signal from the amp (speaker level input) and blend seamlessly with smaller speakers. You can find them used for as little as $600-700. They come with a crossover which you can tailor the sub to your particluar amp sending the signal. Check out their website for more info: vandersteen.com You won't do better than that.
looking for quality passive sub with 8" drivers
Anybody know if there are any passive subs with a pair of 8" drivers? Am thinking of this configuration as these drivers will be very quick and sound better than a larger driver. I would drive the amp with a custom built amp that only operates at low frequencies so there is no need for a crossover.
Hsu no longer offers their 8" cylindrical models; pity.
