@@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.
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.
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
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!
(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..!
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.
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!😎
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.

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!
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
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.
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 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
I would put this in my family van, having a car without bass stinks lol, I would have to build something small but can bring life to that sub. Cant believe I have been watching your car audio videos since 2019, great job man, keep them videos coming.
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 ! 😉
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.
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!!!

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!
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!!
Love the amp and how it lights up.I have been needing a new amp because my old one I got at a yard sale for 30 dollars so I think I know what I'm getting.
A subwoofer shop close to me builds custom subs. Their 8s are insane. I have 2 on a taramps 3k at 1ohm and they handle everything bit of power I throw at them. One of their employees threw 2 in a box he built and hit 149 db at a competition. 8s have come a long way.
Like always parker you have interesting content... nice and I like the enthusiasm you have gets us all motivated. Great videos 😊 thanks..have a good one😃😀
Lovin' it brother!!!!! You're absolutely awesome, keep up the amazing content and I'm loving all the different sized sub testing!!!! I was looking at those exact 8" subs for my 97' Supra build, want to fabricate box using spare tire well and thought those might work perfect, now I know how they perform....I WANT SOME SO BAD NOW!!! LOL 👍😂 You're my hero, never stop jammin brother!!!😉👍
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.

Very good looking little sub, I like the angles you went with showin them, good stuff Parker 👍👌
