Eight inches is the sweet spot for tight, fast bass from a box that still leaves room in the trunk. Browse 8 inch subwoofers from Sundown Audio and Crossfire Car Audio, including the Crossfire C5-V3, Sundown SA-Series v.3, X-Series v.3 X-8, SD-Series v.4 Neo, E-Series v.6, U-Series v.1, the shallow SML-Series thin sub and the Sundown Powersports PSE-8. Most models come in D2 or D4.
An 8 has less cone mass than larger drivers, so it starts and stops quickly and tracks fast kick drums and bass lines with precision. It also needs a much smaller enclosure, which opens up installs behind truck seats, in spare-tire wells and in compact cars. Two or more 8s in a shared box can rival a single larger sub while keeping the profile low.
With D2 and D4 options, one 8 can be wired to 1 or 4 ohms (D2) or to 2 or 8 ohms (D4). Pick the version whose final load matches what your amp is stable at, and feed it roughly its RMS rating rather than its peak figure.
Follow the enclosure volume in the manual; small sealed boxes are common for 8 inch subwoofers, and ported designs add output near tuning if space allows. Pair with a compact monoblock from our amplifiers and a fused amp wiring kit gauged for the amp's current draw. If you have a bit more room, 10 inch subwoofers dig deeper, while 6.5 inch subwoofers fit even tighter spaces. See every size in our subwoofers category.
