BOSS Audio Systems CXX8 8 Inch Car Subwoofer - 600 Watts Maximum Power, Single 4 Ohm Voice Coil, Easy Mounting, Sold Individually

>Great price / performance, and dollar value overall. >Simple / basic poly cone with butyl rubber surround. Cone stiffening ribs are a nice addition. >Not too big/heavy. Not tool small/light... just right for my needs. >Spade crimp lugs are compact and low cost. They reduce the chance of shorting out on anything metal in my installation. >Tinsel leads are nicely woven into the spider. Surprised to see this at the $30 mark. >TS parameters are listed below. Qts .76 is perfect for my infinite baffle / trunk install. Fs: 49 Hz Qts: 0.76 Vas:15 L (0.53 CuFt) Qes: 0.94 Qms: 3.98 Xmax: 6.5 mm >There are reports of people breaking the adhesive, and blowing the coil / cone apart. I added a bead of JB weld plastic-bond epoxy, to strengthen the voice coil adhesive. The total amount was about ~1 cubic cm. The added mass should lower the Fs, which is a good thing for my music preferences. >I am only pushing it with ~250W rms on music, in a low volume SQ system. I am not burping or flexing it with tones. Overall it sounds very musical in my infinite baffle setup. >The biggest thing is it drops right into the rear deck of my Toyota Avalon. No cutting, trimming needed. Looks totally stock. The stamped metal basket comes close to the sheet metal, but it does not touch or make contact. I did bend the terminal lugs downward a little to increase clearance with my trunk torsion springs.

They are a good subwoofer for the price. They were built well, and they have a good sound to them. However they did not work out so well in the application I picked them for. I bought them for a set of home stereo speaker cabinets I was building and they did not work out so well. I have nothing negative to say about them. My receiver is low wattage unit and they just needed more than it was capable of.

(UPDATE: I've been happily using this sub for 3 years now. Still going strong! The rest of the review still applies) The sub I got [12 inch 1000w] Is an amazing value for what it is. That's one of the issues though, it's not what it claims to be. This sub is rated at 1000 watts MAX but that's not really that stat you want to focus on. The stat you want to focus on is the RMS power, which is the power that is constantly provided to the subwoofer at all times. This sub is rated at 500 watts RMS on their website, but in reality it can probably only take 150 MAX before you risk breaking the thing. This is a problem because people buy it thinking it's gonna be an actual 500w RMS BEAST of a sub when in reality it's not even close, and they supply it with 500 watts RMS and it ends up blowing up. And for that, I can only give it a 4 star review. But... It's still and incredible value, even though it's not what it claims to be. This sub (when powered at 110 watts RMS) is powerful enough to vibrate my whole car and shake the rear view mirror around like crazy. It won't rattle the mirror OFF of the car or anything like that, but come on, what more do you need? It's the PERFECT sound level. Just quiet enough so the people around your car don't get annoyed by the loudness, while still being loud enough to THUMP the inside of your car. It's great, and it sounds great too! No distortion or anything like that. Just crisp clear sound. That's not even the best part though! The best part, is that you can get a 3 year warrenty, for just 3$! If you're worried about it breaking because of how cheap it is, there's no need to worry! You can pick up this and a boss 1100w amp and get three year warranties on BOTH of them for like $80ish. This thing made me a true believer in cheap audio. I got this sub, a Boss Riot r1100M amp, an amp install kit from Install-Gear and I even built my own box with MDF wood from Lowe's and it all cost me less than $140... If you paid for bigger name brand stuff, $140 would have only gotten you the amp.... If you just want to add a nice bump to your system and don't want to spend much money. THIS IS IT. I am truly impressed. (Listen to the attached video with headphones to really hear the bass. Listening on just your phone speakers or even cheap earbuds won't do it justice)

Perfect sound. Brand new boxed in.

Excellent materials, sturdy construction, and powerful magnet at an affordable price.

Finally finished building the box and hooked it up. Sounded great for 5 minutes then blew. Tested at back of speaker to verify it was getting an input and it was, but the speaker wouldn't make a sound. Now to try and get them to warranty the speaker even though id rather have a refund. Sadly I'm out of the 30 days by a bit over a week. I needed 2 total but bought 1 for test fitting. Doubt I'll buy this brand again as the head unit I recieved from them isn't quite up to snuff either. Update: warranty process was super easy. Called the manufacturer and they sent me an email. No arguments or Hassel, just send them a screenshot of your Amazon purchase, Name and address and they will send a new one out. Now just to wait and see.

I replaced a Polk Audio 8" driver in a Home Theater enclosure that was clipping at 50% Power from the 50 Watt RMS Amp (100 Peak). I dropped this in and turned the volume to 100% no more clipping, 4x the BASS and I have heard there is a BREAK IN PERIOD for these before they really sound good. I am hammering it now with Trance and Club music. I am IMPRESSED for how little I paid for this. It makes the Polk 8" that was in the enclosure look like Clown Shoes. Seriously and unexpected gem for your money. I was going to drop in an Infinty Kappa but I'm so impressed by this cheap little sub that I don't need it (I have one in another sub in another room and while it hits harder it's close enough and I'm happy). 2 of these in a box in your trunk would be impressive, especially for the price.

they are decent for the price they sound good at Low power but they definitely can not handle the 600w max or even 300rms it is in a bad pass box with 2 inch compression chamber I have a 1000w bridged amp I used it with one channel so 500w not even turned half way up the bass is not there but with my little 100w amp it sounds good when turned all the way up it probably gives it 150-175 watts at that wattage the quality goes down.

Die war gut

La bocina es de un tamaño muy reducido y fácil de acomodar en la cajuela del coche y con un buen amplificador, da un sonido excelente y con mucha potencia que se siente desde lejos, estoy muy contento con el subwoofer, se ve la calidad y materiales de 1a. lo recomiendo mucho.

Good product

Installer ce matin à la place d'un vieux subwoofer kenwood. Le son ressens très très bas. On sent qu'on est pas sur un sub de monitoring. Personnellement, j'écoute des son typé électro. Du dub de la drum and bass, et dans ce registre aucun problème. Pour des films ou des musiques plus accoustique, il faudra baisser un peu le volume du sub. Petit mots sur le look, c'est à peu près ok, mais le sigle Boss. N'est pas droit au niveau du cone

La verdad no esperaba nada de este producto, por su precio creí que sería malo pero es muy bueno si no estás buscando hechar competencias. Lo compre para ayudar a mis monitores polk audio en casa,, mande a hacer un cajón como lo recomienda el fabricante y los bajos son muy claros. Los materiales son de buena calidad. Si lo recomiendo
