You can definitely get good sound from an 8" driver. If space is your main concern, yet you want a larger driver, you may want to consider one of the JL Audio TW5's. They have a 13" driver that's 2.5" deep. Their 12" version is coming out this spring, and their 10" version will probably be out in the summer or fall.
One suggestion I'd make to the guys building their FG sub enclosures, is to not use bondo or extra chop mat to build up the outside of the enclosure. That's going to make more work for you in the end with all the additional sanding you need to do. It's better to make a mixture called "dog sh!t" or a "milkshake" instead. You can either use sawdust, thixotropic powder, bondo, or short hair filler (duraglass) to thicken up polyester or epoxy resin and then slop it all on the inside of the enclosure. That way you reinforce it with another layer that you don't need to sand smooth and you seal any leaks that you may have at the seams of your enclosure.
