Atrend 8SQV

Perfect enclosure!

I bought this box to house a Pyle PLPW8D. The woofer's ideal specs called for a 0.88 cu. ft. ported box, and this one measured out at 0.9 - close enough to give it a go. All of my Atrend boxes have lasted, and this looks like no exception. I have had issues in the past with boxes being delivered in subpar condition from other companies, but Sonic delivered this box in perfect condition. The box woke up my little 8-inch woofer and gave it a great sound. Compact enclosure with solid build quality, no air leaks and the carpet was a perfect match for my trunk. The spring plugs provide a secure fit for the wiring, and I am now using this setup to replace my shallow 10-inch sub setup (which I thought sounded good before I heard this). I never expected to get such good, loud bass from my $17 "budget" subwoofer, and it's all because of this enclosure. If the specs match up to your needs, you can't go wrong with this box.

Nice Budget Box

Other than the fact I had to make slight modifications for my Sundown SA-8, this box came in great shape. I had it in a really crappy sealed box and was very disappointed in the performance of the box. So I bought this Atrend box and WOW! What a big difference! Great performance, great price. Would definitely recommend.

Still going strong...

I recently upgraded to an Incriminator Audio I8 and decided to see if this box was still up to the challenge. It most certainly is!!! Strong, deep bass with the tightness of an 8" woofer - the best of both worlds and the box is small enough for me to continue using my trunk. All of my Atrend boxes are still going strong and this one looks like it will continue the trend. Great enclosure!

BOOM BOX WITH GREAT SQ

I really like this box. The build quality is very good. I have a Kicker 8" sub in it and it really sounds great. Most people think I am running two 10's. This thing really puts out without being real "peaky" sounding. The port is tuned low, so it retains a lot of sound quality.

Its perfect

Im a bass head and i love my box. I installed a 8" fosgate in it and it's just snug! Even though there was a dent in the corner from being dropped some time before shipping and it exposed the wood underneath its ok, hardly noticeable.

Quality not so good!

I had to grind out the 8" hole a 1/4" bigger so my 8" sun down sub would fit. Once I got the speaker to fit, it made it sound amazing. However, the speaker wire mount is crap and fell apart. I will have to replace it with a descent one.

Excellent for my JL 8W1!!!

This enclosure is bigger than the recommended specs for my JL Audio 8W1, but I tried it out anyways. Now my 8W1 sounds fantastic. I had my W1 in a sealed enclosure and the bass did not sound clean. After trying this enclosure out, I would say this enclosure plus the 8W1 is am excellent combination. Its hitting 30 Hz right now no problem. Between 50 and 60, it gets loud. I can't believe the lower end JL Audio 8 can sound this good with this enclosure. Buy it and get the 8W1 too. You will not be disappointed.

38 Hz

I have this box for my 8" American Bass VFL and Man does that thing pound! With this box tuned at 38hz my sub gets all the looks. Everyone is impressed with my setup and mistake it for 12's. Great box!

Great value

Great quality for a prefab box. Solid product. Glad sonic gives you a deal for bundling products.
