Pro Tips
-
Under-seat sweet spot: This sub performs best when mounted solidly under a seat or against a rear wall—secure mounting improves bass response.
-
Start low on gain: Set the gain low and raise it slowly; the PS-8 delivers clean bass without needing high gain.
-
Crossover dial-in: For factory radios, start around 80 Hz and fine-tune by ear for smooth blend with door speakers.
-
Use the bass knob wisely: The remote bass control is great for different music styles—turn it down for rock, up slightly for hip-hop or EDM.
-
Phase check matters: If bass feels weak, flip the phase switch—this can make a noticeable difference depending on vehicle layout.
-
Break-in bonus: After a few hours of playtime, the sub will loosen up and sound fuller.
-
Perfect OEM upgrade: This unit pairs exceptionally well with factory systems without needing a full system overhaul.
