Audison Prima AP 8 8" Woofers — 100W RMS / 300W Peak, 4Ω, 35 Hz – 3 kHz, No Crossover Required
The Audison Prima AP 8 is an 8-inch (200 mm) woofer made for vehicles that have an 8" woofer as a standard OEM component. Its large emission surface gives more energy at low frequencies, which makes it a strong choice when there is no room for a subwoofer. It handles 100W continuous (RMS) and 300W peak power at 4Ω, with a 35 Hz – 3 kHz response.
Key Features
- 8" (200 mm) woofer with a 35 Hz – 3 kHz frequency response and 93.5 dB sensitivity
- Power handling of 100W continuous / 300W peak, 4Ω
- No passive crossover required: the dome profile gives a calibrated mechanical low-pass cut-off
- Water-repellent treated paper cone shaped with FEM simulation and optimized with the Klippel scan vibrometer
- TPU surround with the shallow "Triple Wave" profile for linear excursion
- High-current fast-on terminals with double contacts on both poles
Technical Highlights
The woofer has a 1" (25 mm) voice coil and a high-density flux ferrite magnet. It has a reduced mounting depth (about 66 mm), a cutout of about 174 mm (6.85") and weighs about 1.2 kg each. The compact basket has an abrasion- and scratch-resistant coating, and the motor is fixed with a damping epoxy adhesive.
Ideal For / System Fit
- Vehicles with 8" OEM woofer positions
- Installs that need more low-frequency energy but have no space for a subwoofer
- Systems where the woofer is run without a passive crossover
Not a subwoofer: it plays from 35 Hz to 3 kHz in an OEM position, and fitment depends on the vehicle, so professional installation is recommended.
Installation Note
Check that your door or panel allows about 66 mm of depth and a cutout near 174 mm. A high-pass or DSP setting can protect the driver at very low frequencies.
What's Included
1 x pair of Audison Prima AP 8 8" woofers (some listings include grilles or cover plates and others do not; confirm with your supplier)
Precautions
- Match amplifier power to the 100W continuous / 300W peak rating to avoid damage
- Confirm the cutout and mounting depth for your vehicle before buying
- Use a DSP or filter if the system calls for it, even though no passive crossover is needed
- Professional installation is recommended
