Our take on the Audison APBX 8 DS

The Audison APBX 8 DS is an 8-inch powered subwoofer in a sealed enclosure, built to add bass to a factory car audio system without a separate amplifier. Its 250 W RMS amplifier is built in, and the shallow, flat box is designed to fit under or behind a seat. The 8-ohm driver is unusual for a powered sub, so check that your source or line-out can drive it. Against passive 8-inch boxes it saves wiring and amp space; against larger 10- and 12-inch powered subs it gives less deep output but takes far less room.

Questions and answers

Does the APBX 8 DS need a separate amplifier?: No. The amplifier is built into the enclosure, so you connect it to a source and power it. You do not need to buy or mount an external amp.
Will it fit under a car seat?: The box is about 14.8 inches wide, 13.1 inches deep and 4.3 inches tall, so it is made for shallow spaces. Measure the clearance under your seat before buying.
Is the 8-ohm impedance a problem?: It can be. Most car audio gear expects 4 ohms or lower, so confirm your head unit or line-out can drive an 8-ohm load. The built-in amp handles the driver itself.
How much bass does an 8-inch sealed sub give?: It gives tight, punchy bass that fills out music, but it will not pressurize a cabin like a 10- or 12-inch ported sub. It suits balanced sound more than heavy bass.
Can I use it in a boat?: No. It is not rated for marine use, so keep it in a car or other dry, enclosed space.
What is in the box?: The loaded sealed enclosure with the 8-inch subwoofer and built-in amplifier, plus speaker connection terminals. Check the listing for the exact accessory set.
