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

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.

Perfect sound. Brand new boxed in.

After at least 25 years of living in my hand built enclosures, my original 8" Pyramid speakers foam surrounds left the chat. After a good thumping session I noticed that there were foam pieces that came off one of the 4 drivers, and when looking more closely at all of them, they were all aged out. I couldn't find any correctly fitting replacement surrounds to repair the Pyramids, so I found these Boss 8" woofers that were a close fit and installed them. My custom speaker tower enclosures (R&L) are split internally creating two acoustically engineered spaces, an upper sealed full range, and lower ported for a subwoofer. This will give these new drivers an opportunity to prove themselves in both applications. Note: I do also have 2 10" subs ans a dual voice coil 12" sub in other enclosures as a part of my total system. I don't expect these 8" drivers to provide all the sub bass I need, but do expect them to participate. I picked these due to the poly cone (vs. my paper Pyramids) and the rubber surround (vs. foam). Installation was pretty straightforward and they look the part even better than my originals. I'm taking it easy on them initially as Boss recommends a break-in period, but then I do plan to put them to the test with my home theater system. Time will tell, but I like how they sound already. Quality seems quite good and consistent. I'm only giving them 4 stars now as I have not had the chance to fully test them yet. Pics without the grill cover installed.

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

I waited to review in order to "properly" test this speaker - no gauges or genius, just sound and quality. The thing is heavy, you need the heavy magnet to move air, which is what a sub does; more so than a mid-range. I built a close-to proper-specs insulated cabinet from scrap plywood and polar. No cabinet grade and lined with an old beach towel as I had no fiberglass. You can see this is a low buck deal!. I've successfully made enclosures for smaller speakers from small plastic containers (sturdy ones) with lids, and corrugated cardboard- two pieces or three glued together to get to 3/8" thick then cardboard angle and cross brace etc. Back to the Boss. Excellent sound and construction. I paired with an inexpensive low-pass filter from Amazon to keep high frequencies from it. On 'low volume' the 3/4" plywood cabinet shook and you can feel the bass strongly with deep growling lows (my death metal tracks as well as classical). The sealed enclosure worked for me (covered in cheap landscape fabric, lined with old towel) and completed my 10 cabinet setup through a very able non class D type amp! I recommend this speaker but you don't need my advice- BOSS is a venerable brand of many years.

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
