Alpine - 8" Powered Subwoofer System - Black

Boom boom bass is all you hear if you purchase this PWE-S8 system that comes with both woofer and amplifier in one single stylish and conveniently sized box that comes from Alpine. I know this because I have it inside my car, in the back middle seat facing the front of the car. My original wiring was for a 12" Hertz subwoofer that was located in my trunk of my car. So maybe that has something to do with its tremendous punch which, for an 8" to SOUND similar to a bigger unit is all you need to know and to appreciate its authenticity, durability, and most importantly versatility. This system uses its own bass nob module that you can place anywhere virtually, and let's you choose your own bass gain.

Love these subwoofer / amp combo . Looks real nice takes little space I have them in my Mini Cooper in the rear seats . They give a good punch for what the are not as big as my Alpins SB 10,s in my Jeep but sound awesome in my mini

In 2013, I replaced the factory radio in my 2008 Toyota Matrix with an Alpine INE-S920HD In-Dash GPS Navigation Receiver, 2 pairs of Pioneer TS-A1675R 3-Way Speakers, and an Alpine KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack. Initially, I was very pleased with this setup. All I wanted to do was to overcome the noise of driving with the windows down and play the music I love. While working for Best Buy in 2017-2018, I noticed how many of my fellow Blue Shirts had subwoofers in their cars. Not wanting to be behind the times but also not wanting to break the bank on a sub-amp combination, I added this Alpine Powered Subwoofer System to my existing configuration. What a difference! Now the door speakers aren't carrying the same load to produce bass and sound better now that their bass response has been rolled off. Could I graduate to a stronger output amp for the speakers? Yeah, I could, but it would start an endless upgrade process and I'm not made of money. This is my final add-on... until I get another car but that's another story.

This powered subwoofer is great. It is easy to wire, and the quality of the unit is what you expect from Alpine. Although it produces a lot of bass from a small package, it doesn't really hit the lower frequencies as well as a ported box does. If you don't have the room for a box then this is really your only alternative to add low end bass to round out a less than desirable factory sound system. For what it's worth, this sub also works great in a hatchback as well (I installed mine in an area next to the spare tire).

Excellent all in one compact solution. I wired this in overnight under the driver seat in my Civic. If you are wondering if it's enough bass, let me assure you, this thing is PRECISE and CLEAR and it can thump. It's not going to have the potential of a standalone with dedicated amp, BUT this has such clarity and depth, doesn't break the bank, and only takes up space that is already unused, it's my recommendation. It includes a bass knob with sticky Velcro, and mounting bracket. I just ran zipties through so that it's stationary from the high friction floor mats and easily removable if deemed necessary. At 50% capacity, it's still overwhelming in some music, and to someone who really appreciates the balance, I see absolutely no reason why this wouldn't work for everyone that doesn't want to flex on the neighbors with their groundshaker. This is beyond "good enough" and exceeds my expectations.

I was looking for a sub for my Jeep, space was important. I was willing sacrifice sound but was very surprised with bass that this delivered. I don’t listen to much rap so younger folks might be a little more critical and expect more boom. This makes my classic rock, country and R&B sound well balanced.

Threw one of these on my 2016 F150 behind the back seat! More than enough room. Hooked it up with the original system for some extra bass and it did just that! This isn’t going to be rattling any mirrors or trunks so be realistic, but it does add that extra bass that’s missing from the original system. Perfect for my application.

This a great small sub enhancing the bass in my suv. I love it. Fits great under the passenger seat.
