Review on BOSS Audio Systems CXX8: Powerful 8 Inch Car Subwoofer - 600 Watts, Easy Mounting [Available Individually] by David Gonzalez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great upgrade for an old internal subwoofer

I ended up buying two of these. I was looking for replacement drivers in two old SLS QG-5000W downfire subwoofers. These are home theater subwoofers not car subwoofers as I assume that is a common use for them. The original paper cones inside them were worn and cracked, so they were ready to be sent for electronics recycling. I felt they were worth it for the price because the amps in the subs worked well and I hate wasting stuff. After installing and configuring the first one, I was very pleasantly surprised. It sounded like it was made for the body. The bass was tight and precise. So I bought another one for a second subwoofer of the same model as mine and it sounds just as good. I'm not going to blow up the room with these subwoofers. They are mainly used for listening to music. So I'm looking for more precision than arrows. They worked very well. They have salvaged two excellent amps and cabinets from the scrap heap and use them regularly. Very happy with them.
