Lanzar Max8

going from 4 to 8

I bought four of these bad little subs to prove a point. You don't need big expensive equipment to get loud. Im running a 12x25x25 box with just one 4" round port with 4" of port length and it sounds amazing. I have not metered it yet but I plan on installing another 4 subs on the other side of the box I like them so much. My last system cost me over $7,000 in parts and labor and I cant believe that these cheap subs sound better than that. The bass hits so hard you feel it in your chest I cant wait for comps to start this year its gunna be interesting when I pull up with a cheap build. Its funny how these subs have 100oz of magnet and even the sundowns 8" and the American bass 8" run the same size. the only difference is the more expensive brand does run a larger voice coil and some come in dual voice coil.. but if you play responsibly that shouldn't be an issue. They are a little on the ugly side and the basket that covers the magnets do vibrate loose but can be removed and doesn't affect performance when you do. I actually think they look meaner when you remove it anyway(when mounted inverted). I have read some reviews that the surround is made of foam not sure if maybe that was an older series they got there hands on or not but my surrounds are made of nice rubber. real thick and can stand a good beating. One sub is good for acoustics but if you want chest pounding bass I would run at least 2 in a ported box to get started but for under $200 you can run four and buy yourself a good starting amp so why not. Ill post another review after I added the next four subs.

Never own any Lanzar products before til now...just wanted to put a little boom in the family car...waited a while to put it all together...since i order stuff separately.....when the day came I build my own custom box for it....got the Lanzar MAXP1201D amp, max8 sub and the amp kit 4 wiring kit .....everything went perfect....even surprise myself...how the little sub could put out that much bass...lol...highly recommend it to any one who wants to get some bass into their life...

DONT BUY

This sub is crap you can get more bass out of your speakers than this. with a 300w amp almost all the way down it starts to bottom out and sounds like crap. If your locking for bass that you cant even hear and isnt clean at all this is the sub for you. if you buy it you will regret it

Good bump, for the price!

Nice sub, small enough so you don't have to give up most of your trunk space! I don't turn it on all the time, but nice to have when the right song comes on. Good sound too! Best price in town and free shipping!

Awesome sub

I have beat the crap out of this sub for over a year with a 1500 watt mono amp. Holds it like a champ in the back of my TC plenty of bass, and if tuned correctly can handle anything I've tried but I can't blow this sub great construction, durability, and price line.

wow

These subs are the best 8's I have ever heard period. I built custom boxes under the back seat of my Silverado and I couldn't belive the bass that came out of them. These things definitely have the little man syndrome going on. They think they are a lot bigger than what they are. Just blown away at these. I have them hooked up to the vibe 250 rms amp and it doesn't phase these subs at all. They would probly like a few more rms but it's plenty for me. Don't let the cheap price drive you away, seems like really well made speakers. If I heard them first I would have paid double.

Very good sub for the price!

I had some doubts about getting this sub since the first one I got fried on me from another retailer. Anyhow, this item is very well made and hits very hard. I have the 8" in my Expedition that fits snug in the factory sub area. I would definitely recommend this sub for any novice or amateur sound enthusiast. It will be almost 8 months and still have not been able to blow this sub. Has a very well built and thick cage with a large magnet. The surround of the cone is not foam like other have and is very thick also.

Little but gets LOW!

Perfect little 8 for low $$$. I built a nice ported box out of 3/4" 11-ply birch. (.75 cu ft with port tuned to 32Hz). This sub hits low notes (Chris Brown-take it to the head, Three6Mafia-Late Nite Tip) extremely well and does not get muddy at all. I am giving it around 250W RMS from an OLD SCHOOL Lanzar OptiDrive and I only have the gain about half way up and the bass boost OFF. Very nice product with a HUGE double stack magnet and screw on/banana lug terminals. Well built. Recommended. Can't beat SONIC ELECTRONIX!!!

the ugly lanzar max 8

Well, I always heard Lanzar sucks, but I looked at these subs for a while. I watched Youtube videos, and more people liked them than not, so I gave them a try. I was not disappointed at all!! They produce quite a bit of low end bass, and still maintain that punch that 8"s are known for. I tried a few different small boxes, and found you get a lot more bass with the large bass ports. For powering these, I recommend Rockford 500 Watt or Kicker 500 Watt mono amp. I would not give them anymore. They look like they want to jump out of the box with that much power. They will take every bit of that. I have been slamming these subs for 4 months, and if they blow tomorrow, I will order another set. I like them that much.
