Pyle 8" Car Subwoofer Speaker - 800 Watt Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coil, Treated Foam Surround, Non-Pressed Paper Cone, 60oz Magnet - Powerful Vehicle Audio Bass Woofer for Car Stereo Systems - PLPW8D (Black)

I hope this helps people who don't quite understand the ins and outs of power and wiring your subwoofer. So I have to question those that make claims about them not being powerful enough or they blew up relatively quick. I think this comes down to not understanding, 1. Your amplifier and RMS ratings 2. How wiring the sub to your amp can cause impedance mismatches. One reviewer said his sub wasn't loud enough. This makes me believe it's wired in series, producing 8 ohms. Another reviewer says their amplifier is 2 Ohms. Well... If it is a mono block, 2 Ohms is good. If it is a 2 channel you bridged down to one channel, a 2 Ohms stable amplifier seeing a subwoofer wired down to 2 Ohms will either fry the sub, or fry the amplifier. I've seen this fry a voice coil in the sub and destroy filtering circuits in an amp. In this situation what happens is both channels split the load. Meaning you are showing each channel 1 ohm. In this case you would just use 1 voice coil @ 4 Ohms. Always check the resistance at the terminals to determine if you are wired correctly. On to the build. These are nice looking entry level subwoofers. Magnet looks good as well. The surround could have been a bit bigger. But hey, less than 60 dollars, can't complain. The bucket is plastic, though it feels rigid enough. Nice spring clip terminals. Nothing fancy. Just a decent design. Power handling. Guys, never go off of max rating. Period. Go off the RMS numbers. If those aren't listed, I use a formula for estimating an RMS value. Multiply price by 5.5. this would tell me the sub is at roughly 150 watts combined Sound is good and got better with about 45 minutes breaking in. It is not hitting super low frequencies. But thats ok, it's just a 10" sub. This is a great bang for the buck. Sensitivity is 90db at 1 watt/1 meter. This is at a specific frequency, I'm thinking somewhere around 50-55hz. So the lower tones, around 35hz have about a 4 db roll-off. In a good box, these should hit about 40hz fairly clean. They do start breaking up around 170hz. So those that want to match at higher frequency's may be deterred from using this sub.

The rear woofer on my Chevy Tahoe was blown so, since I was replacing all the speakers in my doors (6), I went ahead and ordered this 8” woofer to replace it. It fit right into the round slot in the mounting box that held the old speaker. When I turned the treble all the way down with the corresponding adjustment to the base on my radio, the pulsating sound of pure base tones came through clearly with no broken, sputtering frizzy sounding pulsations present at all. I’m not a speaker expert, but I know enough to appreciate good smooth sounding music from speakers that are put to the ultimate test. I like the solid guarantee that comes with the speaker as well.

Nice 8 inch sub got about 200 peak going to it after the brake in where I run 100 rms for 4 to 6 hours . sounds great and fits my gmc yukon xl like other said keep the ring off your stock sub .place it in between new sub and faxtory box perfect spacer works great sounds great at 13 bucks don't think to hard buy it...update I have a bad sub now it's coils have let loose currently the glue on the inside is no good didn't even make it one year at 200 Watts.. Its rating for 250 it was never pushed hard this was what I have my kids in primarily used just for listening to the radio and watching DVDs cheap sub works great when I got it with longevity is not there these are still jumped or quality control must really suck voice glues did not hold its not fryed they are just loose which in turn has shorted out with my amps... I would say if the glue was good it would have continued to work just fine it did not melt the coils they have just come loose internally ..if I was pushing them at what they were rated I don't think it would have last no more than a day.....bummer.. Great price looks good but just not made well.....

I bought this sub for a replacement on my 97 ls400 trunk sub because it was blown and I wanted it to just test it out it and I plan to upgrade soon and I saw some bad reviews and expected it to blow but wired properly I have it wired to a 1100 rms amp wired in parallel for 2 ohms with a 600 rms 15in sub and I been running it for a week with long 2 hour trips and has held up remarkably well for what I expected to be a pyle of trash and I haven't been soft with this sub neither but keep your expectations at the price point and you will be suprised don't push 800 or even like 600+ watts out of this sub and you will be alright you get what you paid for. it's not built too bad like yea it's not the most quality built sub but it ain't bad. pretty sure 80% of the failure from these subs is user error improper wiring, too much wattage and just expecting too much from like a 30$ sub my only complaint is just the holes for mounting I wish they could be closed off but again it's cheap as can be definitely worth the buy just don't expect JL, sundown quality

This economical subwoofer does a great job on my golf cart. I have all Pyle components on my cart including 5 1/4 speakers, marine amplifier, 2000W amplifier driving the 800 watt subwoofer with Pyle crossover. System works great and sounds great. Pyle products from Amazon is a good choice.

This sub is worth it! Put in the right box with the right amp and connecting the 2 voice coils to make it 2 ohms this thing hits! Great sound and power! It’s light weight cause of the plastic housing but seems very sturdy. Overall very impressed.

No better deal out there. Replaced an Orion in an Obcon band pass box. Is louder, but it does have noticeable clipping. Its on a old mtx 400.2 amp in my shop right now. When it has a few days of breaking in time on it its going in the house on a Rockford 1500.1 to be my TV subwoofer. Not sure if it will take much of the Rockford, we shall see. Yes these are 12 volt car components, I use a converter from a rv to power them,along with a sealed battery and small cap. Its nice having friends who own a scrapyard. Update...3/24/16 Still doing what it was made to do. The Rockford was to much, left the MTX on it. I have noticed a burnt smell coming from the ports during a long loud movie, but it is still fairly new. I think I have gotten my moneys worth from it, wasn't expecting it to perform as well as it does. Update 11/8/17 This speaker has puzzled me. I wound up using it in my truck for a few months. Then I removed it and it sat in the box for a few months. I recently went to add it to my shop sound system and neither coil work. It was working fine in the truck, and then nothing. Well you live and learn. A 27$ subwoofer isnt going to play long, and I was pleasently suprised at how well it did play. When i have time I'll remove the cone and coils and see what happened. Im thinking corrosion while sitting after being used.

Lasted 6 years so I would say it's a pretty good speaker. I thought it was blown but it's just a bad connection to the voice coil where the braided wire goes to the coil wire. Let's hope I get another six years now that I repaired it.

Nice one

Ho sempre avuto subwoofer di marchi blasonati, per questo non ero tanto convinto prima dell'acquisto. Appena scartato sono stato notevolmente sorpreso dalla qualità costruttiva e dalle rifiniture, da vero Subwoofer quasi professionale. Dopo di ciò sono passato alla qualità del suono, ci ho costruito una casa armonica artigianale e la qualità del suono è davvero ottima tenendo conto del diametro di soli 20cm, in passato ho avuto sempre 30cm, ma vi assicuro che questo piccolo sub non lì fa rimpiangere. Io lo uso con un amplificatore di classe D di 200w RMS, consiglio di non collegarlo ad amplificatori oltre i 250w RMS perchè suonando per molto tempo la bobina si fa abbastanza calda quindi potrebbe deformarsi e gracchiare. Pecca su alcune frequenza molto basse, ma a questo prezzo, credetemi, non c'è nulla di migliore. (le specifiche tecniche riportate qui su Amazon sono sbagliate, i watts in RMS sono 400, come dimostra la foto)

sub is good. Used in lexus GS 2009 stock mark levinson amp.

Very good quality high bass and clear voice ❤️

このスピーカーのフレームはABS樹脂です。特徴は樹脂なので共振周波数が少ない。繊細な音がする。クロス点を１２１Hzにしています。デジタルチャンネルデバイダーが必須です。曲により少しずらします。フィルターが甘いと音がミックスしてスッキリしません。ピアノ、パイプオルガンの低音は素晴らしいです。12インチなので低音の風圧が良く出ます。交響曲は凄く引き立ちます。2個買って1万円です。これを使うには3ウエイです。箱も分厚い段ボールでも良い音がします。デジタルアンプ（音質調整無しの物）です。
