The Audio Code AXC-W84 8" 1,000W RMS Subwoofer delivers competition-grade output in a compact 8" footprint. 1,000W RMS with a Dual 4-Ohm (D4) voice coil configuration — wire the coils in parallel for a 2-ohm final load to maximize power output, or in series for an 8-ohm final load for cleaner, more efficient operation. A step up from the AXC-T84 in the Audio Xtreme Code 8" lineup, the W84 brings the same high-output engineering philosophy in a distinct build configuration for enthusiasts who want maximum bass from a minimal footprint.
Audio Code (Audio Xtreme Code) engineers the AXC-W84 for high-output performance in the 8" format — a segment where most subwoofers top out at 300–500W RMS. The 1,000W RMS continuous power handling means this driver is built for high-current amplifiers and extended high-volume listening without thermal compression or distortion. The Dual 4-Ohm voice coil gives you wiring flexibility: wire in parallel for 2 ohms to maximize power output from a high-current mono amplifier, or in series for 8 ohms for cleaner, more efficient operation with amplifiers that perform best at higher impedance loads. The compact 8" cone diameter makes the AXC-W84 ideal for under-seat enclosures, small sealed boxes, and space-constrained builds where a 10" or 12" simply won't fit — without sacrificing the output levels that enthusiast listeners demand.
Pair the AXC-W84 with a mono amplifier rated 750–1,000W RMS at 2 ohms (coils in parallel) for maximum output. A sealed enclosure is the most common choice for 8" high-output builds — tight, accurate bass in a compact volume.

Why Choose the Audio Code AXC-W84?
- 1,000W RMS in an 8" Package: Exceptional power-to-size ratio — competition-grade output in a footprint that fits under seats, in small trunks, and in space-constrained builds.
- Dual 4-Ohm (D4) Voice Coil: Wire in parallel for 2 ohms (maximum power output) or in series for 8 ohms (cleaner, more efficient operation) — flexible impedance matching for a wide range of amplifiers.
- High-Output Engineering: Built for high-current amplifiers and extended high-volume listening without thermal compression or distortion at rated power.
- Compact 8" Footprint: Fits builds where a 10" or 12" won't — under-seat enclosures, small sealed boxes, and space-constrained installs.
- Audio Xtreme Code Build Quality: Engineered for enthusiast and competition applications where standard 8" subwoofers fall short on power handling.
Amplifier & Enclosure Recommendations
Pair the AXC-W84 with a mono amplifier rated 750–1,000W RMS at 2 ohms (coils wired in parallel) for maximum output, or at 8 ohms (coils wired in series) for cleaner operation. A sealed enclosure is the most practical choice for 8" high-output builds — tight, accurate bass in a compact volume ideal for under-seat and small trunk locations. Use 4-gauge power and ground wire to your amplifier, and 8 AWG or heavier speaker wire from amp to sub. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for specific amplifier and enclosure recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I wire the AXC-W84 to 2 ohms or 8 ohms?
A: Wire the two 4-ohm coils in parallel for a 2-ohm final load to maximize power output from a high-current amplifier. Wire in series for an 8-ohm final load for cleaner, more efficient operation. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio and we'll recommend the right configuration for your specific amplifier.
Q: What amplifier pairs best with the AXC-W84?
A: A mono amplifier rated 750–1,000W RMS at 2 ohms (parallel wiring) is ideal for maximum output. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for a specific recommendation based on your system goals and install location.
Q: What enclosure type works best with the AXC-W84?
A: A sealed enclosure is the most common and practical choice for 8" high-output builds — tight, accurate bass in a compact volume ideal for under-seat and small trunk installs. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for specific enclosure volume recommendations.
Q: How does the AXC-W84 differ from the AXC-T84?
A: Both are Audio Xtreme Code 8" subwoofers rated at 1,000W RMS with Dual 4-Ohm voice coils. The W84 and T84 represent different build configurations within the AXC 8" lineup. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for a side-by-side comparison to determine which is the right fit for your system.
