## Overview

The BASS8 is a sleek, 8-inch powered car subwoofer delivering 800 watts of high-output bass in a slim 2.95-inch enclosure. Designed for space-conscious vehicles, it combines a built-in amplifier with advanced features like variable bass boost, phase control, and both high and low-level inputs. Durable materials and thermal protection ensure reliability, while remote control access offers effortless sound customization. Perfect for millennials seeking premium audio without sacrificing cabin space.

## Description

Much like the engine of a new automobile, a new subwoofer must go through a short but important process of “break-in” before it is run under harsh conditions. The “break-in” process will ensure the subwoofer is able to perform as it has been designed to.
This process involves subjecting the subwoofer to no more than low-to-medium volume levels for a number of hours in the enclosure. 3-4 hours is generally sufficient for the subwoofer’s suspension to loosen enough to prevent the voice coil(s) from overheating and causing failure.
The break-in period is also effective in extending subwoofer life. Over-driving the woofer before it has been properly broken-in will usually result in premature failure and poor performance.

## Features

- Space Saver - If you are tight on space, this is a great solution for you. The combination of amplifier and subwoofer all into one, makes this ideal for spatially challenged vehicles. With a slim design, there are a few installation options
- Pulse Width Modulated - PWM simplifies power supplies. It controls the output voltage and current precisely by not only removing the output current sensing loss, but also eliminating all secondary feedback circuitry. Efficiency. Increased reliability
- Variable Low-Pass Filter - A low-pass filter is an electronic circuit that removes all the notes below the filter's frequency setting. You will use the Low-pass filter to primarily keep high notes out of your subwoofer(s)
- High Level Inputs - Speaker level inputs are commonly referred to as high-level inputs. It will be used to connect the BASS8 to your factory radio or an aftermarket radio that does not have low-level (RCA) inputs
- Low Level Inputs - Line level inputs, also known as RCA inputs or low-level inputs, use RCA interconnect cables to link the BASS8 with the source unit. Most aftermarket radios have multiple pairs of RCA outputs that can connect to multiple amplifiers
- Variable Bass Boost - Variable Bass Boost allows you to adjust the low bass within the boost range to just the way you like it
- Phase Control - Phase control lets you adjust the speaker phase with the amplifier if your speakers or subwoofer are hooked up “out of phase”
- Specs - Dimensions: 12.20” x 8.86” x 2.95”, Weight: 8.82 lbs. LED status indicator. Thermal, Short and Overload Protection Circuits. High Performance Voice Coil. Rubber Surround. Aluminum Cone, Remote Subwoofer Control
- Warranty - BOSS Audio Systems provides a Powerful 3 Year Platinum Online Dealer Warranty so long as the purchase is made through desertcart.com. We strongly encourage professional installation of this product to ensure proper and safe functionality

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need an amp with this?**
A: This is a powered subwoofer so it contains a subwoofer amp only.  Right/left channel speakers will need their own power.

**Q: Can I install this with factory radio or do I have to have an after market stereo?**
A: Factory works or aftermarket.  I installed it under the seat of a 2023 hyundai elantra,  connected to rear speakers.  Works flawless, wife is super happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great option for a budget setup
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 23, 2024*

Good option to add to a budget or stock car audio setup. Won't impress anyone but it fills in that missing thump and low end. Do note that this doesn't come with any of the required wiring, so make sure to pick up a wiring kit (I got some cheapo kit here on amazon for like $12, just make sure its at least 10 gauge) and I wired directly into the rear speaker wire.Out of the box it's set to a base non-tuned setting so won't sound good at all - you NEED to tune and adjust the settings on both the sub and your head unit. Read the manual, it explains how to set the gain. I think I ended up somewhere with the gain set to 3/4, bass boost almost near max, and the high pass filter a half or turn up from middle (this is important if you're regular speakers don't produce a lot of bass). I also turned down my head units "bass boost" setting from +3 to +1 as the regular speakers don't need to try and fill in bass anymore and let them shine more in their minds and highs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Add Bass
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 26, 2023*

For the price of this sub, it's great. Added some much needed bass to my truck. By all means your not gonna win a sound competition with it. But if your looking to add some much needed bass to your vehicle, this is it. They do have a higher priced ones such as the bab8 n the 4k one. They may give better bass but I have no experience with those models. But great sub. Will b buying another to add to the truck. But I would suggest buying the wire kit also. Makes installing it easy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds Terrific
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 6, 2026*

I got this for my husband. He has a an extended cab toyota tocoma. It lends a perfect amount of base in that amount of space. It sounds really great. He is very happy.
