4.5
So I have had my 8" JBL GTO804 running off a Rockford Fosgate P2.200 bridged 4ohms @ 200 watts RMS for about 2 months now. This system is not in my car, its for my bedroom. I have the amp running off a Rosewill PSU, paired with Klipsch KG4.2 running off a good ol' Yamaha receiver. I built my own box for this sub, not using the recommended ported enclosure. I designed mine using the 12volt.com subwoofer enclosure/port calculator. I have my enclosure tuned @ 35hz with .66 cubic feet of volume (including port/sub displacement). This sub in this box sounds amazing, great for all types of music, I mainly listen to dubstep, rap, R&B and pop. Very good sound quality from such a small sub. This sub in my enclosure moves quite a bit of air. Its got a 2" x 10" port. I threw a bag at the port while playing Bass Ballin - Bass Mekanik and the bag just stayed floating around in the port. For the price I don't think you can find a better 8" subwoofer. My friends got a Rockford Fosgate P1-2x12 and I could say this 8" is comparable to one of his 12's. Great hard hitting subwoofer, very clean, great SQ and efficiency (you don't need a lot of power to get this little 8 loud). One thing i was surprised at was that this has 11.5mm of Xmax (excursion) this is more than a Rockford Fosgate P1 12 (new model). The RF P1 12 has 9.4mm. That's embarrassing. Overall, I would highly recommend this subwoofer to anyone especially if you are tight on space. Not only is this subwoofer compact, but it can get pretty loud and sustain SQ!! Mine never distorts and i do crank it... trust me. Gets really low too ! AMAZING 8!! I will be saying good bye to this jbl gto804 in January 2013 though... I have pre-ordered the Sundown Audio E8v3, will be selling the JBL to my friend cause hes going to put 2 of these ported in his Millenia. GREAT SUB! SIZE DOESNT MATTER LOL. Just buy it !
