I have been bumpin' this boston 8" in a ported box behind my seat for six months now and am well pleased with the quality of construction. It's not so much of a big hitter like a 10" or 12", but very impressive still. I think the last sub I had was also a boston 8" like twelve years. I drove that thing as hard as I could for years. I wanted another quality 8" so I went back to Boston.
Thanks, Dave M.

Great sub for the money. Plan on buying 2nd. Soon very fast like any 8" sub should be but also holds a solid low, ever in a .3 box

I purposely selected this sub based on the volume of my sealed box, desired QTC and the fact it was dual voice coil. The results were even better than I hoped - the Boston produces warm, tight and surprisingly deep base. Very low distortion. Sound volume is there too, although I'm not interested in turning it up to "11" to find out.

I bought 2 of these and currently have them both running at 200W rms @ 4ohms with a monoblock. the bass is great, and it only requires 0.3 cubic foot to function. I built a custom fiberglass enclosure for it and these sound better than a single 12 inch i used to have powering at 500w @ 2ohm.
The supplied screws strip easily, so watch out.
