Pyle Car Subwoofer Audio Speaker - 8in Non-Pressed Paper Cone, Black Plastic Basket, Dual Voice Coil 4 Ohm Impedance, 800 Watt Power and Foam Surround for Vehicle Stereo Sound System - PLPW8D

I hope this helps people who don't quite understand the ins and outs of power and wiring your subwoofer.So I have to question those that make claims about them not being powerful enough or they blew up relatively quick. I think this comes down to not understanding,1. Your amplifier and RMS ratings2. How wiring the sub to your amp can cause impedance mismatches.One reviewer said his sub wasn't loud enough. This makes me believe it's wired in series, producing 8 ohms. Another reviewer says their amplifier is 2 Ohms. Well... If it is a mono block, 2 Ohms is good. If it is a 2 channel you bridged down to one channel, a 2 Ohms stable amplifier seeing a subwoofer wired down to 2 Ohms will either fry the sub, or fry the amplifier. I've seen this fry a voice coil in the sub and destroy filtering circuits in an amp. In this situation what happens is both channels split the load. Meaning you are showing each channel 1 ohm. In this case you would just use 1 voice coil @ 4 Ohms.Always check the resistance at the terminals to determine if you are wired correctly.On to the build. These are nice looking entry level subwoofers. Magnet looks good as well. The surround could have been a bit bigger. But hey, less than 60 dollars, can't complain. The bucket is plastic, though it feels rigid enough. Nice spring clip terminals. Nothing fancy. Just a decent design.Power handling. Guys, never go off of max rating. Period. Go off the RMS numbers. If those aren't listed, I use a formula for estimating an RMS value. Multiply price by 5.5. this would tell me the sub is at roughly 150 watts combinedSound is good and got better with about 45 minutes breaking in. It is not hitting super low frequencies. But thats ok, it's just a 10" sub. This is a great bang for the buck.Sensitivity is 90db at 1 watt/1 meter. This is at a specific frequency, I'm thinking somewhere around 50-55hz. So the lower tones, around 35hz have about a 4 db roll-off.In a good box, these should hit about 40hz fairly clean. They do start breaking up around 170hz. So those that want to match at higher frequency's may be deterred from using this sub.

I rarely review products that were not acquired through vine purchases. I'm choosing to review this one because after I purchased this speaker, I researched the seller and viewed many negative reviews on their website. Upon reading some of those reviews, naturally I expected the worst upcoming experience in product purchasing.I happy to report that those expectations were not met and everything went smoothly from purchase to usage.The sound quality of this speaker is excellent, and the bass is much deeper than the speaker (12" woofer) it has replaced. The quality of sound you get from this speaker is at a great price that's hard to be beat. The installation was very easy for me. Since I was replacing with the exact same size, removal of the old unit's mounting screws and connection wires was all that was needed. Replacement of the mounting screws was needed because the newer unit's mounting surface was 1/4 inch thicker but everything else fit right into place. Total removal and replacement time was less than 10 minutes.I give this speaker and seller 5+ stars. The speaker is great quality for a decent price. The seller gave an estimated delivery dates and it arrived in a timely manner. Both of those points exceeded my expectations and deserve a positive review from a customer that highlights their excellent work.

It was non working item normally used one supposed inspected but negative was cutter already and lots off dent so how come they resale if it was non working unit and both was same i returned both but show up one only what kind system I dont understand

The media could not be loaded. The sub is built nicely especially for the price, hits very good, only issue with sub is it sounds like it’s not glued correctly you can hear air leaking through the sub in a completely sealed box makes a hissing sound from air or at high gain other than that looks and sounds great and has a 3 year warranty for free.

Waited a minute to review till it broke in. I installed it to my factory sub location with factory amp in my Lincoln, and honestly it sounds really good, it doesn't pound even when it's to an after marker Amp (yes i did test it in an aftermarket amp to see) even with that it doesn't pound but holds its own and does sound good and enough accent bass lol, i would recommend for decent Bass. Don't expect it to vibrate your brain, good accent bass

I’m impressed with it. It was very cheap and I had a pioneer that lasted for four months before that cost me $199 and I paid $26 for this one and it works better than that one ever did only issue that I did have with it. I connected it to the 4 ohm's and then it wouldn’t work so I had to connect it to the other voice coil and works perfect I mean if it goes out, I’ll just buy another one. It’s cheap enough.

Crisp , Clear & Deep Bass Effect .

I got this sub to replace the factory JBL speaker in my 2006 Toyota 4Runner. The thieving Toyota dealer wanted $600 for a new one. A Kenwood of the same size and specs was $96. This speaker was $26 and works better than the $600 one ever did. Now, the holes didn't line up exactly but it was absolutely no problem. Small self tapping screws went right into the housing and secured it just fine. It works very well, and although you can't see it, it looks great and appears very well made. Super nicely packaged. Easy instructions if you need them. Awesome warranty. I'm pretty hard to please and this sub way impressed me. On the fence? Buy it. Seriously good value.
