Review on Enhance your Car Audio with Alpine Electronics 🚗 PWE-S8 Restyle Compact Powered 8-Inch Subwoofer in Sleek Black Design by Wade Brooks

I was looking for something to supplement the bass sound in my '95 Nissan Hardbody but given the size of the cab I didn't have many options. I took a closer look at the Pioneer TS-WX130DA and the Kenwood KSC-SW11 but found that both run at around 75W RMS (around 150W MAX). This Alpine is only $70 more expensive but runs at 120W RMS (240W MAX). Those numbers don't lie, this thing HANGS. It has a pretty harsh rolloff around 40Hz, but from there down to 180-200Hz this little box makes a serious boom. Press about 4 clicks from max, it goes from +0dB to +1,000,000dB. Definitely not a linear control knob. But if you set everything up through the main unit and do the customization on the subwoofer itself, it's not a huge problem. just annoying.
