Our port calculator shows you the tuning characteristics of your enclosure! The net volume is always particularly important here; calculate the subwoofer’s actual resonant chamber volume beforehand to get the correct result. The net volume is calculated by subtracting all dead spaces and is crucial for enclosure design.

Datenblatt

The Audison APBX 8 DS is a particularly compact enclosure subwoofer from the Prima series and was developed for powerful bass reproduction with minimal space requirements. With its closed 8.5-liter enclosure and powerful 8-inch subwoofer, it offers precise, dynamic bass performance and is ideal for modern vehicle concepts with limited installation space.

The dual-voice-coil design with 4+4 ohms enables flexible connection options and an optimum combination with Audison Prima amplifiers. Thanks to its high power handling and large linear excursion, the APBX 8 DS produces controlled and powerful bass with high precision even at higher levels.

The specially developed 2S² design ("2 Sides / 2 Sounds") allows different installation variants: Down-firing for a deeper bass development or up-firing for more punch and directness in the sound image. Thanks to the extremely flat design, the enclosure can be flexibly integrated into the vehicle - for example in the trunk, behind seats or in space-critical installations.

Additional features such as the SSP terminal system (Sub Smart Plug), low-resonance housing construction and a sturdy protective grille make the APBX 8 DS a sophisticated solution for high-quality OEM and sound upgrade systems with audiophile requirements.

Frequently asked questions about the Audison APBX 8 DS subwoofer

How do I connect the Audison APBX 8 DS to my amplifier?

The APBX 8 DS features a dual-voice-coil design with 4+4 ohms. Depending on the wiring configuration (series, parallel or separate drive of both voice coils), this results in different total impedances for your amplifier. Make sure that the power amplifier can handle the RMS power handling capacity of 250 watts and is compatible with the chosen wiring configuration.

How much power can the APBX 8 DS handle?

The APBX 8 DS is rated at 250 watts RMS / 500 watts maximum power handling. For rich and dynamic bass, we recommend operating the unit close to its RMS power handling capacity without overdriving it.

Will the Audison subwoofer fit in small cars?

Yes, the compact, enclosed 8.5-litre enclosure (377 x 334 x 109 mm) is particularly suitable for vehicles with limited space – the subwoofer is already housed within the enclosure and does not need to be fitted into a separate cabinet. The 2S² design offers two installation options: down-firing for deeper bass response or up-firing for more punch and directness.

What sort of music benefits most from the APBX 8 DS?

Thanks to its high linear excursion, the 8-inch/200-mm subwoofer delivers precise, dynamic bass. This makes it suitable for almost any genre of music that requires a clean, controlled low-frequency response.

How do I adjust the bass properly?

Set the power amplifier’s low-pass filter to suit your speakers and use the bass boost sparingly. This will prevent the voice coils from becoming overloaded and ensure a clean sound even at full volume.

How many subwoofers are included?

The package contains a single Audison APBX 8 DS, including a protective grille and mounting accessories. For higher output levels, you can combine two drivers, provided your power amplifier can drive the resulting total impedance stably.

Can the subwoofer be combined with the Audison Prima system?

Yes, the dual-voice-coil version with 4+4 ohms is specifically designed to work optimally with Audison Prima amplifiers. When combined with suitable speakers and amplifiers, this creates a harmonious, well-coordinated setup.

What should I bear in mind when installing the APBX 8 DS?

Mount the enclosure on a stable, level surface and leave sufficient space beneath the cone, whether it is facing downwards or upwards (depending on the 2S² installation option selected). This allows the sound pressure to propagate freely and ensures that the full excursion of the driver is not impeded.

Audison APBX 8 DS - Here's what our expert has to say

Two sides, one uncompromising sound: the APBX 8 DS delivers powerful bass reproduction whilst taking up minimal space – whether down-firing or up-firing is required.
