AudioControl EPICX8D2 EPICX Series 8″ Component Subwoofer
The AudioControl EPICX8D2 is a premium 8-inch component subwoofer engineered for enthusiasts who demand accurate, hard-hitting bass without compromise. With dual 2-ohm voice coils, flexible wiring options, and robust construction, the EPICX8D2 fits seamlessly into a wide range of custom builds and compact enclosures.
Key Features
- Dual 2-Ohm Voice Coils: Wire in parallel for a 1-ohm load or in series for a 4-ohm load, giving you maximum amplifier compatibility and flexibility.
- Non-Pressed Paper Cone: Paired with a composite foam surround and one-piece dust cap for a balanced blend of rigidity, damping, and natural sound reproduction.
- High-Temperature Voice Coil & Motor Assembly: Lightweight yet thermally resilient design handles sustained power without distortion or thermal failure.
- Rigid Steel Basket: Provides a solid foundation for the cone and motor assembly, minimizing flex and maintaining alignment under high-excursion conditions.
- Compact Mounting Depth: At just 4.1″ top-mount depth and 0.8″ mounting height, the EPICX8D2 installs easily even in space-restricted enclosures.
- Flexible Enclosure Compatibility: Performs optimally in a sealed box (ideal 0.4 cu ft) or a ported enclosure (0.71 cu ft) — never designed for free-air use.
- 10 AWG Spring Post Terminals: Two sets of heavy-duty spring posts accept speaker wire up to 10 AWG for secure, low-resistance connections.
- Protective Magnet Boot: Black rubber boot covers the outer edge of the magnet structure, guarding against damage during installation and daily use.
