I was looking for a good replacement sub for my 2001 Chevy Suburban and this JBL sub has a massive magnet and a high quality basket at a very reasonable price. So I ordered it up with high anticipations.
It was not meant to be however! The website description of the JBL didn't include the mounting depth for the JBL. The mounting depth of the OEM sub (made by Pioneer it turns out) is REALLY shallow at 3.125" (3-1/8"). There was no way it would fit into the OEM sub enclosure in the left rear of the 'Burban. Back to the drawing board! I could only find a few subs that matched the mounting depth and I settled on the MB Quart DS1-204 Discus Shallow Mount Subwoofer which is also a very reasonably priced unit. I will leave a review on that when it arrives and I've installed and listened to it. Cheers!
It's very difficult to find another sub that will fit in the OEM enclosure because the mounting depth is only 3.125" (3-1/8"). I found this MB Quart unit and it was only 2.875 (2-7/8") so it dropped right in. I found several videos online that outlined the removal and replacement procedure so all in all it was a pretty easy install. Just make sure yopu wire it for 2 OHMS! WOW oh WOW! It sounds better than ever before! The bass is punchy and deep even though the enclosure is small. You won't be disappointed with the MB Quart 8" sub if you have a similar age Tahoe or Suburban. |

| ★★★★★ | Great sound in a small box |

| First and foremost, the sound is awesome for an 8" woofer! It is connected to an Alpine mono amp, installed in the original small (0.30 ft3) sealed box in a '12 Odyssey...much more efficient than the Rockford Fosgate 8" I had in there before. The only issue is the smaller diameter of JBL speakers (at least, all the JBLs I ever owned were smaller than other brands) The diameter is about .25" less than normal 8" and did not cover the entire hole. I made an adapter with 1/2" MDF to make it fit. |

Perfect replacement for my factory 8 inch sub! Sounds great for it’s size! It’s just the right amount of subwoofer to not overpower my stereo speakers! Love it!
If you’re looking for a ton of thump this is not for you....... If you’re looking for a great sound without spending a bunch of money, it’s awesome! |

I was stuck with an issue that I wanted to get a sub-woofer into a 2012 Tundra double cab which did not have any spare space except under the rear seats, with only 6" of vertical clearance. I came up with a vented box design that would fit exactly under the single seat of the 30/60 seat configuration (front of tire jack) with up-firing speaker and front vent, all designed per JBL recommended specs in the box (volume, port cross-sectional area, port length). Using a Pioneer 1000W mono amp (a little overpowering to speaker peak), this speaker really impressed me the bass punch it produced for its size, and the cleanliness of the sound.
It is not a speaker to shatter any windows down the street but it makes a huge difference over the stock speakers, you are able to feel the thump inside the truck, which is really where it counts. This will be my go-to speaker if I come upon a similar setup predicament. |

| As many other reviewers have mentioned, this was purchased to replace a factory subwoofer (in a ford explorer for me). I wound up creating a pass through for the wiring to connect to the factory amp and mounting this guy in a sub box since the OEM speaker was such a hassle to remove, but other than that it was a simply unplug the old speaker and attach the connectors to the new one. Great quality and wouldn’t expect any less from JBL :) |

| I used this sub to replace my home theater sub that had started sounding like junk...… this one fit the existing box perfectly, no issues, looks like nothing changed. I was worried for the first couple of days, as it didn't sound like it was working very well...…. that was just the "break in" period I guess. Now, it sounds so much better than the original speaker ever did.... great lows, solid bass with no waffling or distortion..... I am very pleased. |

| ★★★★★ | Excellent replacement option for 2003 Avalon with JBL factory sub. |
| Verified Purchase |
| About a 20 minute job from start to finish. I watched YouTube video by Dan the Fixit Man first which made the installation process much easier. Great result...very good sound for price paid. |

| ★★★★★ | Deeper than you'd expect from an 8 (I bought 2) |
| Verified Purchase |
| I built a sealed enclosure to go in the little compartment under my trunk. (There was never a spare tire in that spot) I've had great luck with JBL in the past, so when I had the idea for 2 8's in the floor of my trunk, I searched for JBL. These exceeded my expectations! I could not be more satisfied. They don't rattle my mirrors, but I'm kind of over that. But you can not beat the sound quality. |

| ★★★★★ | Fits Just Right for 03 Avalon |
| Verified Purchase |
| I needed to replace the factory sub in my 2003 Toyota Avalon that was blown. After some reading online, I found some information that suggested this series sub would fit the shallow space. As it turns out, it fits with only a few new holes drilled to secure the sub. |
