After talking to the guys over on SI and my buddy suggestion, I decided to stay w/ the L5 8". Depending on if I do the Zerochief box (.45 cu/ft) or my slightly larger addition added to the face (.70 roughly), more that one person suggested that I'd be better off using the 8" (which only requires between .33 and .75). The general consensus is that it's better to use the 8" and give it more room to breathe instead of say using the 10" (which requires .65 to 1.0) and having it sitting at almost the bare minimum of it's requirements. Trust me, for bragging rights alone I wanted to get the 10", but I'm going to listen to these guys suggestion that these subs will perform better in more airspace as opposed to a tighter box.

The newer L5's (black face, not the silver) can be found all over ebay for $75 shipped w/o a warranty. Unfortunately I had to pay $95 for mine to use up the credit, but I only had to pay the $42 difference and I get a 1yr warranty, which I could really care less about.
