8 inch subs have come such a long way in the past 10-20 years! In high school you rarely saw them as it was all 10's, 12's, and 15's. Now we have beefy little 6.5's and 8's that can pound. Great video again Parker.
@@HighVybeTribeOr when you had no other choice but to run them due to space constraints. Back then, something like a 10 or 12 required a HUGE emclosure.
The difference with small subs you need a lot of power. Where as you can’t get a 12 on 500 watts and bump. To get the same outcome you need triple the power. Yeah and that means you need more stuff to see it work.
@@provident8732 This is probably why nobody used small subs 30+ years ago. Back then, amps with even halfway decent power (ie 500W) didn’t come cheap. It was much cheaper and easier to just get larger subs so that you could make the most of the modest amps of the day. But with today’s inexpensive class D amps that can easily produce THOUSANDS of watts, the lower efficiency of smaller subs is less of a problem.
i love watchn parker he cracks me up! i watched this channel everyday when i was stuck in bed for 8months with a terrible injury and ive based a few of my latest sub purchases on parkers reviews. So thanks parker im glad you know your stuff bass heads for life people!
Great demo. Props to Bart for finding a new company to make these awesome subs even better. Your son would be proud. I just installed 2 of the new Meso 10's in a friend's car, they sound incredible. I would love to install this 8 in my wife's car.
The meso 8" is a legendary sub. I love the way they look. I could definitely use it to save space in the car. Atm I'm running two Sundown Sav3 8"s in a ground shaker box tuned at 37hz per chamber. It's pretty violent for two 8"s. But if I won one of these I'd pull the SA 8"s out n run the meso for a bit considering we are going to the beach soon would be nice to be able to just swap em out n go from dual 8"s to a single 8" ect
(If I were asked to describe the new CT 8 in Subs in one sentence,,,)"The Mighty Giant Killers!!! The devastating power of these unbelievably impressive 8 inch subs from CT are definitely the most impressive barr-nunn 8 inch subs currently on the market today! Impeccable job CT..!
Parker you have been doing an amazing job with doing reviews. You have inspired and helped so many people out. I wish you the best of luck on the new build in the Sequoia.
Very nice sound for the size, and the best part is... you still have space for groceries and other everyday stuff in the trunk instead of having to put them on back seat. Definitely a win win for me!😎
I know, some people didn't like Coleman, but he was always good to us. I remember him starting out selling sound deadening out of his garage, and then moving into amplifiers and subs, with Audio Technix, before it became CT Sounds. I'm glad his father and brother are carrying on, his products. Always solid equipment, at decent prices. Good video.
@@a-team65 that's your opinion. I said, many may have not liked him...but I'm sure you read that?? And as far as myself, and many I know, he was always good to us. I never had an issue with him, and he always corrected any issues we might have had, and promptly. I don't speak for every single customer he had, I speak for myself.
@@a-team65 on the last 31 years of being in audio, from home to car, sound stage and more...doing O.E.M work, recones, electrical repairs and more, I've seen companies come and go. Thilo at TC did shady shit towards the end, Coleman did some shady shit with Kim overseas in the beginning, and companies chose to warranty or not warranty their products. A warranty means nothing, it's just printed for liability reasons. 90% of the time, you're out of pocket, not the company. Same shit can be said for JP as there are loads of bad reviews online. Same with Kevin at Skar, and so forth. I did alot of business with Thilo and never did bad business, same with Kevin at Skar. Every company, in every walk of products, has done shady shit, bad business and failed to warranty their products. That's life, and you take the good with the bad. I speak from MY personal experiences over the years...not for everyone else. Your opinion of someone, Is just your own.
@@Chuck_Sanders that’s a lot of words to come back around and admit he had shady business practices.. which was my only point, also making my statement a FACT and not an opinion 🤷♂️
My 8" meso died after a couple years. I still have my box and miss it. They have been out of the recone kits forever. It would be sweet to hear that box going again.
Yes sir! Those are impressive little beasts. I could definitely use one to get some sounds going in my work truck... Without eating up a lot of space! Great video, as always!
@@girthquake9655 Unless you're doing an under the seat box in a truck then you'll be happy for awhile but two 8s in a bigger vehicle might lack output imo
@@loganmilam4065 Not necessarily unless you are a bass head, that would be the first question i'd ask, bass heads are never satisfied Lol. For me i have had a single DD508 sub do a 143.5 @ 43hz on roughly 1200rms on the glass in a vehicle not much smaller in cabin space, i'm anywhere from 1.5db to 3db higher in the kick so in reality i managed 145db. Main difference is that i used 6th order.
@@loganmilam4065 Also for reference i was 0.3db less at the same power & frequency with a SA-8, that's almost 6db louder than Parker achieved with his on more power, i was maxed for power so there may have been more in them.
I bought 2 of these a few months ago for my daughter's car, I have not put them in her car yet, but I put them in my car on an Orion HCCA 11,000.1 and they are amazing! I can't wait to put them in her car!
800rms a piece on 8” is crazy. That’s cheaper 15” sub territory. To actually push those you probably need a 2000.1 mono block wired at 2 ohm. And upgrade the battery
Always loved the power you can get out of 8s and the look on someone's face when they realize they're not listening to 10s or 12s😂😂😂. This would go great in my 92 chevy silverado👍
I've been watching your videos for a while and I love how you push this Subs the way I do keep up the good work covid took everything from me I miss my bass you feel like sending somebody who needs bass therapy I'm the guy much love
oh yes, very nice boom boom makers....sounds much better then my wife.... especially after buy a couple of these.... she probably wouldn't have to many bad sounds if I only had to buy one of these tho....lol naw but good video, as usual!!! Your always putting out informational content that I enjoy and can relate too, love how you push your products to the max.....then I know what I can push mine too and what there limits are!!! LOL Thanks bro, keep up the head thumping, heart stopping, good vibrations!!!!!
Man I’m having nothing but bad luck with my sundown x8.. This seems like a good replacement for me. Thanks for the review Parker always coming in clutch
As always, great video.. I pre-ordered the AT-3200.1 and plan on running four of these lil Meso 8's.. I'm sure I will love them when it's all said and done.. again great job, very informative and keep doin what you're doin!!
CTSounds equipment is by far the best for the price. I got rid of my pioneers for a pair of their bio 15s and I can't keep a rearview mirror on my windshield now.
Just received my about a week and a half ago, and i think im passed the break in period and yes little monsters pound with a CT sounds 1500.1 under my rear seat in my super crew f150. CT Sounds is an awesome brand. Thanks for the video Parker nice to know what my subs can really handle ! Wouldnt mind a 3rd one under my seat doe ! 😉
That 8 would be soooo cool in my new little daily civic! Keep up the great work with the channel been watching a long time now ever since the Subaru! Always love seeing all the different products you bring to the channel! Keep up the amazing enthusiasm you always have aswell!
Ahhhh the 8” subs. Many years ago I ran 5 kicker comp (square ones)basically to save space and do something different. They sounded good but they bottomed out when turning them up. Had to re-think what I wanted lol. Ended up running 2 15” solo x comps but kept blowing them so finally went with JL audio comp which were super expensive but them freakin beat like no other. Now this was many years ago. Would love to see what 8” subs could do these days in person. Thanks Parker for another great clip!
Hey Parker I like the new brands that you have been looking at you have helped me pick out the last few subwoofers I bought and I have looked at ct sounds a few times I have their stickers on my tuck because I have been on the website so often but never heard them tell now. Keep up your good work. Looking forward to seeing what you do next
I’ve got 4 of the tropos under my back seat in a custom box. In a 2012 f-150 On a sundown sbf1500. They sound awesome done a 143.8 with the drivers door open
As always nice to see something new from you dude. I’m not gonna lie I thought those would do a bit better. I’m a huge fan of 8’s but two should’ve gotten closer to a single 12 score.

I am looking to add an 8 to my wife's 2019 f150, which was her Bday present 2yrs ago, to compliment the Alpine Type R 6x9s in the doors my son and I just put in. This would be great to make some bumps in the truck!

Crazy how loud and low 8’s can get nowadays. When I got my first system in like 99-00 you never would of imagined 8’s doing anything like they do now.
