Description

DS18's EXL-X8.2D is an 8-inch car subwoofer built for competition-grade bass, delivering up to 1200W peak with a 2+2 ohm dual voice coil. Its red aluminum basket and glass fiber dust cap pair with a ferrite magnet to deliver precise, impactful low end in sealed or ported enclosures.

  • Nominal Diameter: 8" / 203.2 mm — standard 8-inch footprint that fits a wide range of trunk and cabin installations, while delivering substantial cone area for deep bass.
  • Nominal Impedance: 2+2 ohms — two 2-ohm voice coils provide wiring options to match amplifiers and enable flexible configurations.
  • RMS Power Handling: 600W — continuous power rating for sustained playback without overheating when paired with a capable amplifier.
  • Maximum Power Handling: 1200W — peak power handling for transient bass bursts and dynamic passages.
  • Sensitivity (1w/1m): 89dB — higher sensitivity means more output per watt, aiding system matching with modest amplifiers.
  • Frequency Response: 38Hz–1kHz — extends deep bass to 38 Hz while preserving bass clarity up to 1 kHz for musical integrity.
  • Voice Coil Diameter: 2.5" / 63.5 mm — larger coil supports heat dissipation and excursion control under high-power playback.
  • Voice Coil Former Material: Black Aluminum — helps with heat transfer and structural rigidity in high-excursion conditions.
  • Cone Material: Non Pressed Paper + Glass fiber — combines stiffness and damping for accurate bass reproduction.
  • Dust Cap Material: PPI — adds rigidity and helps protect the voice coil assembly from debris.
  • Basket Material / Finish: Aluminum Basket; Glossy Red — rigid frame with distinctive aesthetic and structural integrity.
  • Magnet Material: Ferrite — provides robust magnetic field for stable performance under demanding use.
  • Weight: 130 oz — overall mass contributing to mechanical behavior and bass authority.
  • Recommended Enclosures: Sealed Internal Volume 0.3 ft3; Ported Internal Volume 0.5 ft3; Port Size 1" x 8" x 10.56"; Port Tuning 55 Hz; Ported Box Output 42 Hz — designed to support sealed or ported designs with specified enclosure volumes and tuning for intended bass response.
  • Overall Dimensions: Diameter 8.58" / 218 mm; Depth 6.61" / 168 mm; Front Mount Baffle Cutout 7.36" / 187 mm; Mounting Depth 5.51" / 140 mm

The EXL-X8.2D excels in compact-to-mid-sized builds, delivering 600W RMS into a 2+2 Ω load and handling up to 1200W peak for deep, controlled bass. Its dual 2-ohm coils offer flexible amplifier matching, while the ferrite magnet and aluminum basket provide a durable, heat-tolerant chassis. Whether a sealed enclosure for tight, musical bass or a ported box for louder, deeper output, this sub delivers precise bass performance with consistent reliability.

Recommended Monoblock Amplifiers

Power-matched options for one subwoofer or one complete loaded enclosure. We aim to include same-brand choices when their ratings qualify.

Loading amplifier suggestions…

Suggestions use 75–125% of the subwoofer’s RMS rating at the wiring load shown. Check wiring, enclosure needs, electrical capacity and installation space. Set gain and filters correctly to avoid overpowering the subwoofer. Buying more than one subwoofer changes the match.
