Audison Prima APBMW S8-2.2 8" Under-Seat Subwoofer for BMW & MINI — 150W RMS / 300W Peak, 2Ω

The Audison Prima APBMW S8-2.2 is an 8-inch (200 mm) shallow-frame woofer that directly replaces the original speakers under the front seats of compatible BMW and MINI models. Its electro-acoustic parameters are customized to use the factory enclosure as its acoustic load, giving deep, crisp low frequencies. It handles 150W continuous (RMS) and 300W peak power at 2Ω, and the neodymium magnet group keeps the driver compact and light.

Key Features

• 200 mm (8") shallow-frame woofer for a direct under-seat replacement
• Power handling of 150W continuous / 300W peak, 2Ω, single voice coil
• Neodymium magnet group in an inverted acoustic structure with an internal cone for power and control without added depth
• Large-diameter voice coil on an aluminium former for power dissipation and stability at high excursions
• Electro-acoustic parameters developed for the BMW-MINI factory box, for powerful, crisp low frequencies
• Polyurethane gaskets supplied to fit it to the OEM box and decouple vibration

Technical Highlights

In a fully active, multi-amplified front system, the 2Ω S8-2.2 can use the full power of a suitable amplifier at 2Ω. Audison also states that the best results come with a system upgrade using Forza bit amplifiers and BMW integration harnesses. Masori's compatibility list includes many BMW 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 Series models, the X1, and MINI F54, F55, F56, F57, F60, R60 and R61.

Ideal For / System Fit

• BMW and MINI models with a factory under-seat speaker position
• Active systems where an amplifier can drive a 2Ω load
• Upgrades that keep the factory box and add punchier bass

Model-specific: it is a replacement for the factory under-seat driver, not a free-air subwoofer, so check your model in Audison's Sound Pack Configurator. Professional installation is recommended.

Installation Note

Fit the driver to the factory box with the supplied gaskets. Confirm your amplifier is rated for a 2Ω load before connecting.

What's Included

1 x pair of Audison Prima APBMW S8-2.2 subwoofers with polyurethane gaskets (confirm the exact contents with your supplier)

Precautions

• Confirm your exact BMW or MINI model and the 2Ω load rating of your amplifier before buying
• Match amplifier power to the 150W continuous / 300W peak rating to avoid damage
• Use the supplied gaskets so the driver seals against the factory box
• Professional installation is recommended
