Seek out a midbass 8 that can get u down into the 70-80 hz and pair them w horns.
DD VO W8s can get after that range and w the right watts they pound and is one of my favorites in that freq range.

I have a set of those DD on the shelf. They do pound pretty good in the lids, and have the option of a screw in comp driver for highs.

I haven’t tried that yet. Looks like a 1 3/8 thread.

Lots of new lil shiny objects rolling out. Very cool to see.

And keep an eye out for the Ground Zero Black that should be hitting the streets soon.

They are middle tier. The reds are they high end line. These are much higher sensitivity needs less power but also less lower end freqs.

Yeah I personally wouldn't touch anything other than the Yellow but a couple comp folks last weekend were running these Blacks complimented very well with other shix and it was eye watering loud clear and well balanced.

Cool to see all the options increasing.
