Description
The Massive Audio BAS8 is an 8-inch powered subwoofer enclosure with a built-in amplifier, pre-installed in an Industrial Grade Carpeted ported enclosure designed for space-constrained installs that still demand deep, controlled bass.
- 8" Powered Subwoofer Enclosure: A compact, all-in-one solution that fits tight spaces while delivering substantial bass through a ported design.
- Watts RMS: 400W continuous power handling; sustains clean bass output without clipping when driven by compatible source material and proper wiring.
- Peak Power: 800W peak; supports brief dynamic boosts for transient musical moments without immediate distortion.
- Cone: Kevlar Fiber Enhanced Non-Pressed Paper Cone; combines stiffness and lightness for controlled cone motion and extended lifelike bass.
- Voice Coil: 2" 4-Layer Hi-Temp Voice Coil; high-temperature tolerance helps maintain performance during long or intense listening sessions.
- Surround: EROM Foam; durable, long-lasting surround that supports consistent excursion and reliable re-centering of the cone.
- Magnet: 90oz double stacked magnets; greater magnetic strength improves control and efficiency, aiding deeper bass with lower distortion.
- Basket: Heavy Gauge Cast Aluminum; rigid frame reduces vibration and helps preserve sound clarity at high output.
- Terminals: Quick Disconnect 4 AWG PWR/GND/REM; enables fast, secure wiring and easy removal when extra cargo space is needed.
- X-Max: 11mm (1-way); indicates substantial allowable cone excursion for pronounced low-end performance.
- SPL: 86 dB @ 2.83V/1m; sensitivity rating that relates to how loud the woofer will play with a given input voltage.
- Frequency Response: 25Hz – 200Hz; covers the essential bass range for music and films, ensuring deep subsonic to punchy mid-bass.
- Fs: 60Hz; effectively situates the driver’s resonant behavior for predictable in-vehicle bass response.
- Crossover Control: Variable 50Hz–200Hz / 12dB Octave Butterworth; lets you blend the bass with other speakers and the head unit for a tight, integrated system.
- Bass Boost: 0 to -12dB @45Hz; provides on-demand tightening or extension of bass to match vehicle acoustics and personal taste.
- Input Sensitivity: 200mV – 10V; compatible with a wide range of source outputs, from low-level to stronger line-level signals.
- Built-in Amplifier Features: Auto Turn-On, Audio Sensing, Remote Trigger; simplifies installation and ensures the amp powers on with the rest of the system without manual control.
- Hi-Low Converter: Built-in conversion to integrate directly with factory or aftermarket head units without additional modules.
- Remote Bass Control: Adjust up to 12dB @45Hz from the cockpit for on-the-fly bass tuning to suit listening preferences or vehicle acoustics.
- Clipping LED: Visual protection indicator helps prevent amplifier clipping by signaling when the system is being pushed beyond safe limits.
- Enclosure: Industrial Grade Carpet Ported Enclosure with protective grills; combines durability with optimized bass output and a clean install.
- Dimensions: 17.1" x 11" x 10.6"; provides fitment guidance for trunk, hatch, or under-seat installations.
In a real car audio build, the BAS8 functions as a turnkey bass solution for compact cabins or lease vehicles where cargo space matters. The built-in amplifier, adjustable crossover, remote bass control, and protective features simplify installation and tuning, while the robust drivers and ported enclosure deliver solid bass response with controlled extension and minimal distortion. The Quick Disconnect terminals and compact footprint enhance practicality without sacrificing performance.
