My suggestion would be for a 8" sub that Adire Audio is prototyping. I talked with a person who made a home sub with one and compared it to higher end 12" HT subs. If I was given correct info, the xmax was quite a bit higher than the JL with 600 watt power handling. If it is anything like their Shiva it might be worth listening to.
I'm always willing to get more information or listen to something that can sound better. The limitations are, however, that it cannot be any deeper than the JL's and operate effectively with 75 watts @ 4 ohms. More power is available if the speakers have a lower impedence. The subs are mounted freeair in the door behind the OEM door panel. In order to clear the window, a spacer was needed move the speaker out. The downside is that the raised area on the speaker by the monting holes (fortunately not the surround or cone) is pushing out on the door panel a little so I have definitely maxed out on the total depth available.
Please let me know where I can get more information about your suggestions.
