When sting close and at low volume or quiet parts is there audible 60hz noise?** A: I have not heard any hum or noise of any kind. mine are run thru a Yamaha AS-801 and Elac UB 52's. Nice thump at any level. **Q: How to connect it to YU2 as speaker has one Sub Out and Sub takes two channel input?** A: Thanks for your question. From the included User Manual: "In a typical full range application using one subwoofer like the sub8 thru a single wire connection, you can connect to either the Left or Right Line Level Input." World Wide Stereo – since 1979 – and a proud authorized Kanto dealer. **Q: Does this subwoofer makes you feel sub-bass (60 Hz and below)?** A: It's a very clear very tight very fast base it does extremely well with 80s style music I have the satellite speakers and the bass speaker but if you're looking for modern day thumpity thump down the road in the car Style music where you hear shaking the walls yes and no. it does not do well with A continuous Non-Stop background vibration. it's more geared towards quick hard thumps but if it's a long base Non-Stop it doesn't do that it kind of softens with long bases but if it's a for instance Thunder or storm it's very aggressive and will produce hard thumping Bass well. There are videos on YouTube that can describe this a lot more just type in the model number and there's a few videos that the people who make the speakers have made which is what I looked at and decided to buy it I'm happy with mine **Q: Seller: any information about electronics and finish chages kanto made between the old sub8 and the sub8vm?** A: I've had both in white and the difference is that the original sub was a gloss white finish and the new sub is a matte white laminate. I can't speak to the other colors. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***R on 26 January 2026* Sehr schnelle Lieferung, Perfekte Ergänzung zu meinen Teufelboxen. Dezent, aber wirkungsvoll. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***N on 12 October 2023* Great with Kanto yu6 speakers ### ⭐ Review *by J***E on 23 January 2025* Didn't sound good. Had to turn the crossover way down to 40Hz and Level setting to max 10% of the volume, just not to get distorted sound. This makes the sound of the Kanto ORA's actually worse, because it leaves a gap between 40-100Hz. Doesn't at oemphh at all. At the best settings it wasn't noticable that a sub was playing with, so no benefits (No higher SPL, no wider soundstage, no deeper bass) ## Frequently Bought Together - Kanto SUB8VMB Sealed Powered Subwoofer | 300W Peak Power | 8" Woofer | Matte Black - Kanto ORAMB 100W Powered Reference Desktop Computer Speakers with Bluetooth 5.0 and USB-C Input | Bi-Amplified | 100 Hz Automatic Crossover | Reference Quality Sound | Pair | Black - Kanto S2 Tilted Desktop Speaker Stands for Small Speakers & Compact 2”-3” Studio Monitors | Supports 6 lbs | Damping Foam Padding | Pair | Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/557712755-kanto-sub8-8-inch-sealed-powered-subwoofer-matte-black](https://www.desertcart.us/products/557712755-kanto-sub8-8-inch-sealed-powered-subwoofer-matte-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
