About: Sundown Audio U-8 U-Series 8" 600W RMS Car Subwoofer 

The U-8 can be thought of as an SA-8 v3 on performance boosters. Everything there is to love about the SA-8 v3 just with more power handling, more x-max, and more output potential.

The specially designed motor is mated to a custom tooled and patented (US Patent D691595) frame which allows for a larger spider and superior clearances to nearly any other 8" woofer on the market today. The U-8 features a full 18mm of one-way linear excursion and mechanical capacity in excess of double the linear limits (around 2.5” peak-to-peak) to ensure that mechanical failures are nearly impossible. As with the SA-8 v.3 it features a surround that mimics the geometry of our large Mega-Roll v.2 surrounds for incredible linearity.

The U Series woofer from Sundown is incredibly versatile, thriving in both competition setups and your daily driver. It features a double-stacked 9” wide ferrite magnet system and a robust top plate. It also incorporates shorting rings within the magnets and pole cap to enhance frequency response, act as a heat sink, and guide airflow. The U Series is equipped with a significantly thicker custom aluminum frame that boasts heat-dissipation ribs. The v.2 motor also includes an extended pole piece to ensure the coil remains controlled even under high stress!
