Alpine - 8" Powered Subwoofer System - Black

Installed in a big rig with a double bunk sleeper. I am a truck driver i work and live in my truck, i was looking for clean bass to match my mids/highs which run off the head unit ( no amp) this was perfect. this sub braught life back into my music. If you are looking to compete in a bass competition do NOT show up with this sub, but if you are looking for a clean thump you can feel inside your vehicle without sacrificing your cargo area or your next meal this is the way to go. verry well built, strong aluminum case if i step on it, bump it, drop something on it, it might get a scratch on it but i am not worried about it being damaged.

This is for those that don't wish to sacrifice sound quality and power for space. You get the quality of Alpine with the size a bit larger than the factory 6.5" Subaru Outback underseat powered subwoofer. This is a 120W RMS setup, and it's good on my HU all the way up to 40, LPF set to 60Hz for tuning, and all EQ disabled or set to 0, and it jars my car, and I still have the space to haul things for work or recreation. Mounted in the back hatch area, instead of under the seat, due to wanting a fuller sound. My car's cabin space basically acts as a bandpass enclosure for this thing to really hit hard and shake my glasses on my face.

If your looking for something that can be heard down the street then look elsewhere. This unit is exactly what I needed for my wifes 2007 4 door jeep wrangler. I mounted it under the passenger seat and it gives the jeep sterio system that low end its always been missing without taking up any usable space. It doesnt compete with sub and box set ups but since the jeep is open this works great.

Good subwoofer for the price. I have limited space and it fit right where I wanted it.

Very solid cast aluminum construction. You could not make an 8" sub with amp and crossover and more compact. Comes with remote bass control, sound is excellent.

I needed more tones in the lower region. I also like to keep like items together. By that I mean I already have all Alpine gear, so It was easy to select this model. It holds true to there corporate culture. No junk!

I desired an under the seat powered subwoofer that closely matched the other installed alpine speakers and components in specs to give the cab of my truck an above average complete midline audio system.

I was a little spectacle at first being that a subwoofer should have some size to the enclosure to be effective. However, this subwoofer really surprised me. I installed this into my 2012 Ford Focus and was very easy and due to the compact size, still left me with plenty of trunk space. I also used this in my Travel Trailer to boost the bass. Here is where the unit really shined. The subwoofer fills the air with good clean bass and performs well.
