Good sub for OEM replacement and great price.

I bought this sub to replace my VW's OEM Fender subwoofer that was good but not for bass heavy music like I listen to. This Pioneer sub is definitely a nice upgrade. Now I can "feel" the bass instead of just hearing it. The only problem is now I have to buy some sound dampening material cause my deck lid rattles. Sonic was also very helpful with this purchase and they always have great prices.

Well made but not that loud

Good quality and awesome size but it is not as loud as I expected. compared to the stock sub it was not much of a volume upgrade but it has good sound. Wont fit in the box under the driver seat of an 05-13 Xterra without modification though.

great value

bang for the buck is a good value for the money i love it

Good choice

Very good sound soft bass power handling to install a after market amp to the factory system.

awesome

Nice

Fits perfect in factory box and plays well with factory amp

Great Sub

Bought this to replace the factory sub in a 2012 escape. It fits perfectly in the factory box, looks great, and the screw holes even line up! I'm powering this with a mono channel NVX amp and it thumps. I had to add poly-fil to the box and wrapped the whole exterior in sound deadener and this gives deep, rich, clean hitting bass. I don't even have it turned up all the way. Would most likely hit even harder in a custom box, but I'm extremely impressed with the sound. Great sub for those short on space!

Crisp bass

Hits great for a 8in sub. Would highly recommend for a factory location replacement.

Good value, nicely made, sounds good

I picked this sub up to replace a less than stellar OEM 2014 Ram 1500 Alpine "Premium Audio" sub. The great thing about this Pioneer is that it is a dual 2ohm which is the same as the OEM sub, only the quality is about 10 times better.

This is a very nicely made sub. The rubber surround looks to be very stout, and the overall design and execution seems like it will last. The shallow mount is nice (it's also a free air design) and it fits perfectly into the Alpine sub box. I did Dynamat the plastic sub box, and added poly fill which greatly improved the bass feel. It delivers much nicer quality sound than the OEM Alpine paper unit did.

I will say that overall. I am very pleased with this little 8" driver. It is delivering what I expected and is an excellent upgrade from the poor quality Alpine OEM Ram sub. I would buy again. I might even buy the 10" version for the drivers side now!

Subwoofer

This shallow mount pioneer subwoofer mounts perfectly in place of the factory subwoofer spot with minimal modifications to the inner plastic of the door panel.

Very happy with this subwoofer

More then I expected with the power of bass from this subwoofer, I have a matched mono amp pushing this subwoofer in the rear deck plate of a 2015 chrysler 200. I am very happy with the bass from this subwoofer with all types of music, I recommend this subwoofer for any stock upgrade or FREE AIR applications... is why I ordered this subwoofer... I am using it as a free air subwoofer.

Great price, great speakers

The shallow mount design allows for a very compact installation. I got 2 under one side and over the hump of the rear seat in an extended cab Chevrolet, at almost the max air space required. With the dual voice coils wired for 2 ohms they hit pretty hard.

8 inch pioneer shallow mount subwoofer

This subwoofer is the best I could ever think. It is 8 inch pioneer shallow mount subwoofer. This I would recommen to anyone who wants a good and amazing sound it the vehicle and wants to feel the bass in your chest.

Little woofers that can!

I put 2 of these in a custom box under my '15 Ford F150's rear seat and couldn't be happier. I used a PAC LP7-2 loc and ZAPCO ST-500XM II amp. I set the loc to about half way on the voltage adjustment(I can't get a reading with a voltage meter on the rcas for some reason) but the setup is perfect and my entire inside of the cabin gets very loud with bass and no one believes me when I say it's just two little 8's as they think they've got to be 10's in the very least.
