This 8-inch subwoofer is engineered meticulously to provide exceptional low-frequency performance from an ultra-shallow design, making it the perfect choice for installations where traditional subwoofers simply won't fit.
Whether you need to fit bass behind a truck bench, under your seat, or in a custom, space-constrained enclosure, the SML-8 D4 delivers.
Despite its slim profile, the SML Series 8" D4 is a true powerhouse, capable of handling 400 Watts RMS and 800 Watts Peak power.
This robust power handling ensures that the subwoofer delivers crisp, deep, and impactful bass notes with remarkable clarity and authority.
Unlike other shallow-mount subwoofers that compromise on output, the SML-8 D4 is designed to produce powerful, dynamic bass that will truly enhance your in-car audio experience, proving that great bass doesn't require massive space.
Its Sensitivity (Sens) of 82.5dB ensures efficient power utilization for impressive output.
The hallmark of the SML Series is its innovative, ultra-shallow design.
With an incredibly compact 3.78” mounting depth, this subwoofer is engineered specifically to fit into the tightest spaces in your vehicle.
It's an inch shallower than our popular SLD series, yet it delivers nearly the same excursion, ensuring deep bass output from a remarkably thin profile.
The 8.5" outer diameter and 7.65" cutout make it highly adaptable for various installations, truly redefining what’s possible for bass in limited areas.
The SML-8 D4 is optimized specifically to perform exceptionally well in small enclosures, making it ideal for discreet installations.
It excels in a sealed environment, with a recommended enclosure volume ranging from just 0.2 to 0.35 cubic feet.
Its low Displacement of 0.08 cu ft further minimizes the required box volume, allowing for maximum acoustic performance from minimal space.
This design philosophy ensures you get deep, accurate bass that integrates seamlessly into your vehicle's interior without overwhelming it.
Every component of the SML-8 D4 is chosen for performance and longevity.
It features a robust 2.25” black aluminum voice coil former coupled with high-temperature 4-layer copper voice coil wire, ensuring superior heat dissipation and consistent performance even during prolonged, demanding use.
The vented pole-piece and vented magnetic gap further enhance thermal management by promoting airflow to the voice coil.
Stitched-on “Mini-XL” tinsel Leads prevent fatigue and failure, guaranteeing reliable connections.
Its Dual-magnet design contributes to smooth acoustic response, while the custom tooled cone shape reduces mechanical noise over its 14mm Xmax, providing exceptionally clean and distortion-free bass.
A bolt-through motor design ensures maximum longevity and ruggedness.
The SML-8 D4 is equipped with Dual 4 Ohm voice coils, providing exceptional wiring flexibility for seamless integration with your amplifier.
With an RE (Ohms) of 6.85, you can easily configure the subwoofer for either a 2 Ohm (parallel wiring) or 8 Ohm (series wiring) final impedance, ensuring optimal power delivery from a wide range of car audio amplifiers.
This versatility allows you to fine-tune your system for peak efficiency and performance, delivering powerful and dynamic bass tailored to your setup.
