5.0 out of 5 stars LOUD and LOW!!, April 27, 2010

When I bought this subwoofer I was skeptical of it's ability to produce very low frequencies. The data sheet on the JBL website looked good, especially for a speaker which is suited for such a small sealed enclosure. I made a box out of 3/4" MDF with an interior volume of about 0.3 cubic feet (appxox. 10" x 10" x 8 3/4" outside.) This little speaker makes some really low notes, and very loudly! This speaker is efficient- makes a lot of noise with a fairly small amount of power. I'm using an amp rated for 125 watts RMS (even though JBL claims it will handle 200 watts RMS) and I wouldn't want it any louder! After a few songs at max. volume my ears are ringing and I have a headache! It's as loud as a 10" bass tube I had in the 90's, and can be heard very loudly outside of the car.It really hits with the lowest kick drum thumps, and sounds great playing hip-hop and regae with low synthesized bass notes. If you're looking to compete, this sub isn't for you, but if you want some bump in the trunk that will annoy the neighbors if you forget to turn it down at night, this sub will deliver!

This review is from: JBL GTO804 Reduced Depth 8-Inch Subwoofer (Electronics)

Reduced depth sub, compared to what? It's huge! No chance of fitting in the stock sub location in my Yukon XL, but fit beautifully in the qlogic .35cu/ft box under the dash. I'm feeding it from a 500w RMS Kenwood sub amp. Hits hard, goes deep. Has at least the 7/16" xmax specced. Hits much harder than the MTX DVC 8" that was in that box previously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sub, June 9, 2009

I have one of these in a sealed box under that back seat of my F150 and it sounds great. It plays very loud and low for an 8" and it only needs a .3 cubic ft sealed box. has great cone excursion. It plays very clear and tight. Double bass sounds very good. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone that wants good bass in a small spot.
