Sony XS-GS80L
GS Series Subwoofer Driver

The new Sony GS series of subwoofers are the perfect way to get outstanding bottom end into your audio system. Whether you are expanding into a full-blown aftermarket setup, or are just looking to integrate better overall performance into your OEM setup, the GS Series has you covered. These drivers have been purposed-engineered to deliver outstanding sound quality and exponentially better overall performance over anything else in its price bracket.

The XS-GS80L, specifically, is an 8" Single Voice Coil subwoofer driver intended to deliver tight, controlled bass. What it lacks in surface area it makes up in overall sound quality. It is able to accomplish this by maximizing the overall build quality, delivering an above-modest 280 Watts RMS with an excursion peaking at 7.1mm. In addition, the XS-GS80L has a very respectable Frequency Response range of 28 - 500 Hz, making it very easy to blend (crossover) into your Full-Range stage.


Premium Sound Requires A Premium Build


Premium Sound Requires A Premium Build


The XS-GS80L single voice coil subwoofer driver cone is constructed using a Mica Reinforced Cellullar Honeycomb design for reduced weight and increase rigidity, delivering deep bass response. A subwoofer's cone wants to naturally bend and warp due to the force exerted by the motor of the driver. If allowed the sound produced is Not accurate and of poor quality. The XS-GS80L is engineered to counter act this, thereby delivering superb response.


Motor Design for Outstanding Output

Motor Design for Outstanding Output


The XS-GS80L woofer uses a powerful, high energy Ferrite magnet to control cone travel and deliver outstanding power handling. The XS-GS80L subwoofer is rated for 280 Watts (CEA 2031 rated), 220 Watts RMS and can handle peak power of 900 Watts. This above-modest figure makes the XS-GS80L perfect for a system starving for low end bass output. 280 Watts RMS will not shake a vehicle, but it will bring life to a bland audio system.



Maximize Power Delivery

Maximize Power Delivery


The XS-GS80L's 5-way gold plated spring-loaded binding post provide secure wire connections for high power handling. These terminals are capable of accepting a 10-gauge speaker wire to maximize power (Read: Wattage) delivery and performance. By accepting a larger wire than most traditional 8" drivers, the XS-GS80L is able to deliver more power than a traditional 8" driver. Moreover, the gaps in the stamped steel frame allow the driver to breath, greatly reducing the risk of burning out the subwoofer motor.

best 8 inch sub

This sub puts out amazing power for an 8. Most people can't believe it's an 8 when they hear it. And only 99 dollars too.

This Subwoofer moves air!

I was looking for an 8 inch subwoofer that would compliment my car system and add some low end. I came across this sub went with my gut and bought it because of the specs and the design. I just got it today and it sounds amazing! The cone is super stiff and the push terminals are a plus. But for only being an 8 inch it moves a lot of air. Not only that but its built to last. This is a very durable sub. I think it is a little over priced but I was lucky enough to find one going for 40$. For 99$ I'm sure there are much better 8 inch subs. Overall I am very happy with the subwoofer.
