Skar Audio VD-8 D2 8" 600W Max Power Dual 2 Ohm Shallow Mount Car Subwoofer

Retrofit into an 90's super cheap $20 box, 1/3 cu ft ported, works pretty darn good. I bought this box in Juarez and had to hoof it back across the border looking like a smuggler. Border agents made me take it apart which was annoying. Like I had it full of a kilo or something. Replaced a pair of likely rare and mostly alright Sony 3-way parabolic dish 8" speakers seen in pics. Absolutely no comparison to the Skar subs, no way at all. Would definitely slam nicely at higher power levels sealed, and I'm afraid of killing something with the current 1.5" x 5" ports if I crank it as-is. Holy smokes this thing hits the lows! No it's not making my eyes blurry with bass but I can actually fit other things behind the seats (extended cab Toyota) AND lean the seat back too. Currently powered by an also-90's LA Sound Hermosa 2 channel at 100w/4 ohms per speaker, -each sub wired in series. Very sensitive subs despite their 83 db rating. Loud at low volume if that matters to you, especially on the lowest notes. Bass Invaders CD sounds great on these bad boys. Did have to open up the box a bit with a rotary sanding drum mounted in a drill but no biggie. Only biggie is the sound coming out of these! Have to take care not to hurt my hearing because that's a real concern. Glad I finally pulled the trigger, they're a marvel of modern manufacturing and probably better than the old Lanzar and Cerwin Vega stuff I lusted after at West Coast Sound in Albuquerque as a kid. Tough too, I had the box on its back, speakers pointing up and had the heavy sleeping bag in the first pic fall on one of the cones! I thought I'd crunched the dust cap for sure, it made a bad sound, but nothing was hurt. Built like a tank. Did I mention these are awesome?

I've now had the pair for 3 years now ,I've abused them and they're still going strong with 0 issues

I had this for a few weeks before opening it because I had to get all the other stuff to put my system in. I’m using this in a 2500 RMS watt system with a lot of other equipment and when I opened the box of this one was damaged, but I ordered another one and I will say these are amazing subwoofers. I have a filling in for kick drums mid base with a system. That already has a band pass box for deep vase, even though this thing will put out deep base. I stuffed this in a cargo subwoofer box in a Jeep Wrangler and the box is too small for what this requires for airspace, but I put some dacron in the back to trick it into thinking it had more airspace, and it is performing beyond my expectations!

These SUBS HIT – Great Upgrade for My F-150! I bought a used 2020 Ford F-150 with no premium sound, and needed something to bring the music to life. Started with one 8" sub in a sealed box powered by an RP 800.1D amp (I went with the white marine version—looks clean). It was decent at 4 ohms, but after 20 years away from the audio scene, I knew I needed more. I added a second 8" dual 2-ohm Skar sub and dropped the load to 2 ohms using their prefabbed ported box. WORLD of difference. This setup absolutely hits—tight, clean, and loud for 8s. I double-checked everything on the Skar website to make sure it all matched up, and the results speak for themselves. My dad enjoys the deeper sound, my wife loves the added fullness to the music, and most importantly—my 17-year-old son now begs to drive my truck just for the system. Install was easy, the box fits perfectly under the rear seat and looks factory. Multiple people have seen it and couldn’t believe it wasn’t stock. This sub, amp, and box combo slaps no matter what genre you play. If you're looking for solid bass fill and don’t want to break the bank, this setup is 100% worth it. I’ve been running it daily for over 4 months—2 hours a day, high power—and it’s still going strong.

People are sleeping on these just cause of the brand, you'll just need a good tuned box and a good amp. Got myself 2 8's on some old school bazookas and man these babies bang!!! Worth the price
