It would be nice if I could design a downfiring center console box and use my Lethal Injection 12”
How much airspace does it need?

Thought about these but didn’t want to spend that much. Guess I should have state my budget. ~100 per sub is what I’m looking for. So around $500 total
Just a thought, I could get any sub that would best fit the airspace.
Those Vegas have a decently low fs with decent xmax as well. What’s the rule of thumb when it comes to passive radiators? Four of those Vegas look to be an option.Like others have mentioned, the ID 8 is going to be lacking a little on the low end if you go sealed. Ported, the ID-8 can be tuned really low, which will keep your response flatter than the typical ported set up. However, tuning low = longer ports and bigger enclosures. You could go with a Earthquake SLAPs passive radiator instead of a port to save space. The Cerwin Vega Vega series subs are decent at ~$100 and will give you more low end in a sealed enclosure.
I’m screwing around with radiators now. I have my little 8 inch in a radiator box using 2 10 inch radiators tuned to 28 HZ. A more traditional way of doing this is to use a single 12 inch radiator. This 8 Im using has a ton of xmax, but most 8s could get away with using a single 10 inch radiator. 4 8 inch subwoofers and 2 12 inch radiators would be a cool setup. Air space and weighting for radiator setups can be done a couple of different ways. A sealed box air space size with a really low tuned radiator (25 HZ or so), or a ported box air space size with radiators tuned at a more traditional 30-40 HZ box tuning. What I really like is being able to tune a small box to a super low tuning without the giant port or any port noise. I’m ordering dual 12 inch radiators for my single 15 to play with next.Those Vegas have a decently low fs with decent xmax as well. What’s the rule of thumb when it comes to passive radiators?

Because the earthquake has 51 mm of xmax and are cheaper than Dayton. It’s a better product for car audio application imo.I see you used earthquake radiators, and particular reason you went with that brand? I see Dayton as well as others make radiators as well.
