Pyle Car Vehicle Subwoofer Audio Speaker - 8 Inch Blue Injection Molded Cone, Blue Chrome-Plated Plastic Basket, Dual Voice Coil 4 Ohm Impedance, 600 Watt Power, Vehicle Stereo Sound System PLBW84

This is my second purchase of this same size and model. The first one was back on June 2, 2016 Which finally died. Getting almost 3 years out of it is pretty good for the price range of speaker. I needed a replacement and was able to get one just like it again. This went into a Energy ES-8 (100 Watt) Vintage 1998 Subwoofer. Approx .92cuft (Cubic Feet). ported 2 inch round by 9 inch long pointing to the rear. The Cutout was originally 8 3/4 round recessed. Had to widen this out with a Dremel Grinding tool (its what I had at the time) to fit 9 inch round. I did however wire the speaker up for 8 ohm as it is what the original amp was rated at. I did the break in period Low to mid volume for over 5hrs continuous play of various styles of music. As I remember this sub works even better than the original energy sub really hitting some low ends shaking the room during some PC gaming (Elite Dangerous) and really gets going with some Trance and BPM music as well. What I use it for with other speakers in my rig: I use this for Music creation, Gaming, Audio Editing, and just general music listening. This is paired up with some vintage Event 20/20 Studio Speakers with Optimus Center, Rear, and secondary Front Channel B. All Vintage Optimus speakers have been rebuilt as well (just the round foam replaced). While I would have preferred to repair and replace the coil and foam on the old Energy speaker it was just in too bad shape to bother. For being on the cheap side it works really well for me (so far) being on a budget. Just remember to do a break in period of at least 5hrs or more on a low to mid setting and be sure you amp is rated for the proper config. If you need 8 0hms wire it in series or your amp is rated for 2 ohms stable then can drop it to 2ohms in parallel. So far the new replacement is doing great will update if anything changes :)

It's cute! Made a custom box for inside w/ $12 temu amp with sub controller... Sounds great for $$ invested. I prob should've got the 10in cause I always find myself trying squeeze a lil more out of her🤨

Garbage, never sounded right to begin with, quit working altogether in less than a year. I replaced it with an older pioneer sub that i had kicking around and it sounds much better with all the same settings. Pyle used to be a decent brand so I am surprised.

I purchased this speaker to test it out. I currently have a svc 4 ohm 600w 8" sub in a small enclosure in my truck. I am planning on installing 2 subs and wanted to see if this was worth the money. I have wired it in 2 ohm and 8 ohm configuration. It seems to perform well both ways until I mount it in my small box. This is not a shallow mount speaker and therefore I was not able to mount it in the box normally so I mounted it inverted and tested. My box is approximately 0.5 cuft. This speaker needs a much larger box. I assume that if the manufacturers actually were to print the recommended volume that the suggestion would be 1 - 1.25 cuft. I will not be using this speaker as I need a much smaller enclosure for my custom center console build. I have given this speaker only 3 stars because of the lack of documentation. There are very little specs listed with this. Several of the missing specs I find very important such as RMS rating, recommended enclosure volume and frequency information. Fortunately I am familiar with wiring dual voice coil speakers so I had no difficulty wiring the speaker but there was also no wiring diagrams nor any mention of the necessary mounting depth. It has a diagram of the distance from back of magnet to mounting surface but does not show how much distance is recommended from the back of the magnet to the wall of the enclosure. I am going to assume that this speaker will require at least 1" of space under the speaker. Keep this in mind when thinking about this product. For the money it is probably worth it if you are not worried about how large your box will be. It would need tweaking a playing to get the correct setup but it should sound nice if all the right conditions are met. REMEMBER with any subwoofer do not underpower your speaker. I see this far too often in reviews. People will say that they put 100w RMS amp on a 300w RMS sub. If RMS is 300w have an amp with a minimum of 300w RMS. If your speaker has 600w peak rating do not put on an amp with 600w RMS. It is always important to match power ratings between amp and sub. Do some research if you are not familiar with power ratings so you don't burn up a bunch of speakers. There is no need to spend a fortune on a stereo to get good sound if you know how to set everything up correctly.

excellent for the price. i wish the frame is steel not plastic

Awesome

Still functional but it has a rattle in the coil once in awhile...

This line of subwoofers is awesome! The blue chrome, normal chrome, blue rubber and blue plastic is a great idea!! Nice job Pyle! I'm in the break-in period and it sounds great even at a low volume. I definitely want another one. Just have to wait for the $$$$.

All ok!!!

la verdad es que es mejor de lo que me esperaba, al ver las pocas opiniones de los clientes no estaba muy convencido de la calidad del producto, pero la relación calidad/precio es muy positiva, lo he sustituido por un subwoofer JBL 1000w y sinceramente es la misma calidad (instalación en un vw golf mk4 ), ocupa mucho menos espacio y estéticamente es muy bonito, lo recomiendo al 100% sin duda, excelente producto 10/10.

Purtroppo da quando ho acquistato il prodotto è l' ho montato nella mia auto è trascorso circa un mese é ad oggi ho riscontrato che il prodotto emette solo dei rumori fastidiosi anziché emettere del suono.

You’ve got a good Bass on it
