Great Stock Replacement Woofer

I bought this woofer to replace the oem woofer in my Acura SUV. When it arrived I thought it looked really small (8”). I was worried I would not get the sound I wanted, but I was VERY pleasantly surprised. It sounds amazing. I used an NVX amp to power it (MVPA1), and it handles all the power I can give it. No distortion at all. I didn’t know an 8” woofer could produce such great low sound. It’s goes deep. Especially with a mounting depth of less than 3 inches. Since it was an oem replacement, I used a Line our converter to fix bass roll off and more (Audiocontrol LC2i) which feeds the amp clean signals. I would recommend this subwoofer as a great oem replacement - but you’ll need the amp and converter to make it really special.
