    • Big Sound, Small Package
Style: Subwoofer
If you are looking for impressive quality bass in a ridiculously small sub, look no further. This is not the bomb dropping sub in your friend's SUV, but the quality of the bass will beat the competition handily. Let's break it down Build Quality and Design - 10/10 - A heavy magnet and amplifier, solid, sleek construction, and high quality controls make this sub feel like a luxury jet compared to other subs. Seriously impressed with the look and feel. Volume - 8/10 - This subwoofer is not designed to rattle your windows or make you heard down the block. Clipping sets in at a lower level than other subs I've heard, but remember this is a TINY sub, and for it's size it kicks ass. Bass Quality - 10/10 - AMAZING sound. High quality, silky bass that fills out the music without taking over. A little goes a long way. How Low Can You Go - 7/10 - Was expecting a little more on the low end of the spectrum, the crossover quickly drops after 50hz and the low notes on trap, rap, and other music that utilizes ultra low frequencies can sometimes sound shallow. Still, it's impressive that such a small sub can even get close. Features - 10/10 - Built in amp, remote gain knob, crossovers, several inputs, extra fuzes, and more, this sub has everything you need to plug and play. All the features work smoothly together. Price - 7/10 - A hefty price tag for such a small sub, but that's why it's expensive. You have to condense EVERYTHING into this little guy. OVERALL VALUE: 9/10 - A high price tag and some lacking volume and depth hardly make a difference when you consider how good this sub sounds in such a small package. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are looking at micro subs, this is THE BEST ON THE MARKET!!! ... show more

    • Perfect sub-woofer solution for Jeep TJ-Fits under the rear seat
Style: Subwoofer

My 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara had a Sony MEX-BT3800U head unit that the previous owner installed. He had a custom dual sub-woofer in the back but removed it and left the wiring when I bought it in 2012. Recently the TJ has become my daily driver so I decided to upgrade the sound system. With a convertible option on the Jeep, I decided Marine Grade was called for. All 4 factory speakers are easily replaced without major surgery. I got Polk dB461's for the front and dB651's for the sound bar in the back. They were a direct retrofit installed in about an hour. Great sound from the Polks. Bright and clear speakers that I'm really happy with. With the loudness on, the 651's in particular had pretty good bass but it still needed that fullness only a sub-woofer could provide. I wanted to "feel" the lows. With the wiring already in place, I considered building my own sub-woofer with a matching Polk 8 or 10" sub driver. Researching cabinets and amps, I realized loss of storage space and potential theft were significant considerations. I also don't need to vibrate the license plate. Just fill the sound band. A compact self powered sub is all I really needed. The PWE-S8 rose to the top of the choices. As it turns out, it fits invisibly under the back seat. I'm still tuning it but so far, the TJ sound is amazing over a wide range of music. I can literally feel the low keys resonate from piano and bass guitar passages. With adjustment capability at the head unit, I am able to experiment to find the sweet spot between sub and mains. The bass source location from the Alpine invisible to the ear. It's is all over the car. Exactly what I was looking for. A special note on installation and Alpine Tech Support in particular-Make sure your electrical connections are done right. I made my own ground connection on the rear seat bracket with a solid self tapping screw. Sanded the surface down to bare metal. The guys at Best Buy helped me properly run the red hot wire directly from the battery along the passenger side to the back. (The head unit wires run along the driver side. This separation eliminated any chance of interference and noise.) Then we connected to the remote-on wire (blue/white) of the head unit, plugged in the RCA connections and voila...NOTHING! No power light. We fiddled with it for about a half hour before the BB guys determined it must be the PWE-S8. I got the exchange unit from Amazon the next day thinking it will be a plug and play swap. This one didn't work either! that's when I called Alpine support and they walked me through some tests with a multi-meter. The guy emphatically said it's got to be my connection. Even though I was getting 12 volts, it dropped to 9 when the amp was under load. I know the hot was good because I saw it installed. This lead me back to the ground connection. I removed the seat bracket (2 big torx screws) and found paint on paint at the mounting point there. I sanded that down to bare metal on both surfaces, bolted it all back together and now, for real, VOILA! It worked beautifully. Self inflicted pain made a pretty straightforward installation a frustrating experience but I got it done. The Alpine PWE-S8 was the finishing touch on a great upgrade. My 2-3 hours in the Jeep in commute traffic is a lot better now. Cheers! ... show more

    • Wow. Just Wow
Style: Subwoofer
I normally don't give "gushing" reviews like this, but for this little sub I will make an exception. When we first got it installed and wired up, we were so underwhelmed by the bass output that we were sure we had done something wrong. It made so little output at first that I had to lay my ear right on the grill to hear anything at all. We connected it to our car's factory stereo by tapping into the front speaker wires, and as it turns out, we had reversed the polarity on one of them. Since the sub sums the two inputs, and the left & right were 180 degrees out of phase with each other, they basically canceled each other out, resulting in almost no signal going to the sub. After doing a little googling, I found a forum post where someone had done this, and I wondered if that could be our problem. I went out and reversed the positive & negative wires on one of the speaker inputs to the sub, and BAM! Monster bass. And when I say monster bass, I mean it will absolutely fill the inside of your car with bass (you can feel it in your chest and feel it vibrating your seat). However it is not the "obnoxious" bass where people can hear you coming down the street. If you're aiming for obnoxious, this sub will not do it for you. But if you're wanting your teeth to rattle, even at low to moderate listening levels, you will not be disappointed with this little sub. I will go so far as to say I am blown away by it. And I don't use that term lightly. I know a little bit about subs, as I used to have a JL 8W7 in custom built enclosure in a different car (until it was stolen). I'm going to make this comparison right here. Years ago I spent about $1500 on a system that included an expensive JL sub, and I don't think it sounded any better (bass-wise) than this little Alpine which cost $240. And I didn't have to build a custom enclosure for it, and it's compact enough to fit in some out-of-the-way place in the trunk or wherever. This is my first experience with using line-level (a.k.a. speaker-level) inputs on an amp, and I was skeptical that the sound quality would be acceptable. And I can't speak for every such powered sub, but I can tell you for this little Alpine, it's acceptable and then some. This is very possibly the longest product review I've ever written, but that's because I can't say enough good things about it. FYI we have it in a Wrangler JK 2 door, and it fits perfectly down in the little "trunk" (is that what you call it?) under the rear carpet. I mean perfectly. Like it was made for it. At first I had doubts about whether that location would work out, sound-quality-wise, because it's so far in the back. With the Wrangler being such an open-air vehicle, I was afraid the bass wouldn't reach the front seats adequately. But it turns out, it works perfectly fine there. If you open the rear tailgate, you don't see anything. It looks stock. So do I recommend it? Yes. Did they pay me to write this? No. Did I pay full price for the sub? Yes. Would I buy it again? Yes, in a heartbeat. ... show more
