What amp does the Godzilla 8 need?

American Bass recommends a VFL 5500.1 for a pair, so each sub wants roughly half that amp's output. A single sub needs a mono amp that stays clean near 1,200W RMS at 2 ohms.

How do I wire the dual 4-ohm coils?

Wire the two coils in parallel for a 2-ohm load per sub, or in series for 8 ohms. Two subs wired in parallel at 2 ohms each give a 1-ohm load for a mono amp.

What size box does it need?

It is built for a ported box of about 1.3 to 1.5 cubic feet per sub. The cutout is 7.32 inches and mounting depth is 6.46 inches, so check clearance before building.

Is the Godzilla 8 good for tight spaces?

The 8-inch cone fits small footprints, but the 6.46-inch mounting depth is deeper than many shallow 8s. Measure behind the panel before you commit.

The subwoofer itself. Wiring, a box and an amp are separate purchases.

Our take on the American Bass GODZILLA 8" Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coil DVC 2400W Max Car Subwoofer

The American Bass Godzilla 8 is an 8-inch dual 4-ohm voice coil car subwoofer rated at 1,200W RMS and 2,400W peak. It uses a cast basket, a carbon fiber cone and a 180 oz magnet with a 2.5-inch voice coil. It suits people building a small-box ported setup who want heavy output from an 8, and it trades the shallow mounting depth and modest power handling of mainstream 8s for a deep 6.46-inch mounting depth and high power demands. Plan on a strong amp and a ported enclosure of about 1.3 to 1.5 cubic feet per sub.
