Product Overview
Get substantial bass from an 8-inch subwoofer with the Audio Code AXC-W84, rated for 1,000W RMS. Its dual 4-ohm voice coils can be wired for a 2-ohm or 8-ohm final load, giving you two impedance options when matching an amplifier.
Key Features & Benefits
- 1,000W RMS power handling: Choose an amplifier that can supply power within this rating.
- Dual 4-ohm voice coils: Select parallel or series wiring to suit your amplifier’s supported load.
- 2-ohm parallel load: This configuration is recommended for maximum output with a suitable mono amplifier.
- 8-ohm series load: This option suits amplifiers intended to operate at a higher impedance.
- 8-inch size: Consider it for a build planned around an 8-inch subwoofer.

Why Choose This Product?
The AXC-W84 gives you a choice of two final impedances from its dual 4-ohm coils. That flexibility lets you plan the subwoofer wiring around your amplifier rather than choosing between two separate coil configurations.
Its 8-inch format is suited to builds designed for an 8-inch driver. A sealed enclosure is a practical option for this type of build and is described as a common choice for compact, tight bass.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
For maximum output, the recommended pairing is a mono amplifier rated at 750–1,000W RMS at 2 ohms, with the coils wired in parallel. Confirm that the amplifier supports the resulting 2-ohm load.
Wire the coils in series for an 8-ohm final load, and confirm that your amplifier supports that impedance. Check the enclosure’s opening and available mounting space against the subwoofer’s physical dimensions before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I wire the AXC-W84 for a 2-ohm load?
Wire the two 4-ohm voice coils in parallel to create a 2-ohm final load. Use this configuration only with an amplifier that supports 2 ohms.
What amplifier rating is recommended for maximum output?
A mono amplifier rated at 750–1,000W RMS at 2 ohms is recommended when the coils are wired in parallel.
What final load does series wiring create?
Series wiring produces an 8-ohm final load. Check that your amplifier supports this impedance.
What enclosure type is a practical choice?
A sealed enclosure is a common choice for an 8-inch high-output build. Confirm the enclosure dimensions and subwoofer fit before installation.

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.
