Best 8" SQ sub on the market. Period.

The following review is for 8W7AE-3, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I've been running these subs since their intro back in '04, I believe - this 'll be my 2nd quad set. Yes, there are less expensive 8" subs out there, that might get louder too, but NONE of them will sound as good doing it. Worth every penny. If sound quality plays a greater role for you over just being 'loud', then these are the way to go. And make no mistake; they DO get loud too!!

JL Audio w7

The following review is for 8W7AE-3, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have been installing car stereo systems for a while and today i built 2 boxes for customers. Once one of the boxes just so happened to be for this w7 8. I was truly impressed with the amount of output and how linear this woofer stays when it is being fully pushed. The amp was a rockford t1500 bdcp so it was clean power and let me tell you, this 8 got LOUD for its size and took the power extremely well. I have installed sundown sa 8's sundown x8's dc m3 8's as well as PSI 8" woofers and this woofer definitely held its ground against all the other competitors and took the power better then some of them. Overall a excellent woofer if you can swallow the price point.

Best subs you will find, period.

The following review is for 8W7AE-3, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These subs are so great I bought four of them for my 2020 Chevy truck. When it came to purchasing them, Sonic Electronix had the best deal.
