Default 8" Lowers

I'm aware of the offerings from Dirty and Voodoo, but was wondering if anyone offers a speaker box that works with factory or AVB lowers that will let you mount an 8"midbass...

another option is make your own which I think is better.

Do you think these will fit in AVB Lowers?

I would think so, since they are HD clones. but might want to check with GBS.

The build quality on the Dirty Birds is top notch and worth the money. Night and day difference over some of these crappy plastic brands. I know many will think that saving a few bucks is worth it to run a larger speaker but I'll share with you that the enclosure used is much more important that speaker choice.

Advantablack is supposedly working on some lower 8" pods.

If I had the money to throw at it, I'd buy the 8.8 lowers. CN you imagine those in front and back?

I agree on the enclosure being important.
