Most consumers are not fans. This means that you are probably looking for a product that will help you with value, quality and performance. It may not necessarily require that your product be the best of the best or the highest performing product on the market. If you’re a fan of car audio but not necessarily an enthusiast, you probably want a subwoofer that can pump out bass—enough to make your car rumble or enhance the deep low-end frequencies of your sound system.

If that’s you, then the JL Audio 8W0-4 is your subwoofer of choice. It’s an 8″ subwoofer that packs a punch. It’s capable of producing 150 watts of peak power and 75 watts of continuous RMS power. At first glance, the 8″ subwoofer may not be the most intimidating subwoofer in terms of cosmetic, however, it could in fact produce excellent quality bass outputs thanks to its design.

The woofer is comprised of a polypropylene cone with a sealed polypropylene dust cap, a standard car subwoofer and speaker cone composition that ensures rigidity and consistency in any ambient environment. The cone is surrounded by a large foam rim which allows the subwoofer to maintain excellent centering while driving at high excursions. Beneath the cone is the wide, progressive spider that allows the 8W0-4 to ensure superior mechanical control and placement.

For structural integrity support, the JL Audio 8W0-4 features a Vented Reinforcement Collar, or VRC, which acts like a pillar under a bridge acting as support while absorbing performance-related energy. The last feature that should be noted is the 6-layer voice coil wiring in a former which is known in the automotive world as Kapton. The result of this feature is the subwoofer’s ability to handle massive thermal energy without losing performance or being damaged during power transfer.

Another good thing about the 8W0-4 is the fact that its compact size does not normally require a sealed case volume greater than 0.375 cubic feet or a ported case volume greater than 0.75 cubic feet. This means that the JL Car Audio8W0-4 is excellent for installations in small spaces like compact cars or hatchbacks.

With features like this and its incredibly affordable price of under $40, how could car audio newbies pass up a car subwoofer deal like this?
