Product Overview
Add high-power bass to a compact system with the Audio Code AXC-W82 8-inch DVC subwoofer. It handles 1,000W RMS and has dual 2-ohm voice coils, giving you 1-ohm or 4-ohm wiring options for a compatible amplifier.
Its 8-inch size suits space-conscious builds, including under-seat enclosures and small sealed boxes, when a larger subwoofer will not fit.
Key Features & Benefits
- 1,000W RMS power handling: Supports high-output system designs in a compact 8-inch format.
- Dual 2-ohm voice coils: Wire the coils in parallel for a 1-ohm final load or in series for 4 ohms.
- Compact cone size: Makes the AXC-W82 an option for installs with limited space for a subwoofer.
- Sealed-enclosure use: A practical choice for compact builds seeking tight, accurate bass.

- Amplifier pairing: The recommended mono amplifier rating is 750–1,000W RMS at 1 ohm with parallel wiring, or at 4 ohms with series wiring.
- Wiring guidance: The source recommends 4-gauge power and ground wire to the amplifier, and 8 AWG or heavier speaker wire from the amplifier to the subwoofer.
Why Choose This Product?
The AXC-W82 combines 1,000W RMS power handling with an 8-inch footprint and flexible coil wiring. That pairing gives you options when choosing a compatible amplifier and planning a compact subwoofer installation.
Choose the final load to match your amplifier’s supported impedance. Parallel wiring creates a 1-ohm load; series wiring creates a 4-ohm load.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Plan around the enclosure and available installation space, not just the 8-inch cone size. Check the enclosure’s external dimensions and the mounting location before choosing an under-seat or small-trunk installation.
A sealed enclosure is described as a practical option for this 8-inch subwoofer. Match the coil wiring to an amplifier that supports the resulting 1-ohm or 4-ohm load. The recommended amplifier range is 750–1,000W RMS at the selected load.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I wire the AXC-W82 for a 1-ohm load?
Wire the two 2-ohm voice coils in parallel to create a 1-ohm final load. Confirm that your amplifier supports 1-ohm operation.
How do I get a 4-ohm final load?
Wire the coils in series. This creates a 4-ohm final load for an amplifier suited to that impedance.
What amplifier rating is recommended?
The recommended pairing is a mono amplifier rated 750–1,000W RMS at 1 ohm or 4 ohms, matching the chosen coil wiring.
What enclosure is suggested?
A sealed enclosure is the practical recommendation for a compact 8-inch build. Check enclosure dimensions against your installation space.
How does the AXC-W82 differ from the AXC-W84?
Both are 8-inch W-series subwoofers rated at 1,000W RMS. The AXC-W82 has dual 2-ohm coils for 1- or 4-ohm wiring; the AXC-W84 has dual 4-ohm coils for 2- or 8-ohm wiring.

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.
