Skar Audio SVR-1X8D2 8-Inch Loaded Vented Subwoofer Enclosure — 800W Peak, 400W RMS

Meet the Skar Audio SVR-1X8D2

Powerful yet compact, the SVR-1X8D2 is a single 8-inch loaded vented subwoofer enclosure designed to bring tight, responsive bass to smaller spaces. The vented design helps balance bass extension with a footprint that fits beneath seats, in trunks, or in compact living areas of your vehicle. With a peak rating of 800 watts and an RMS rating of 400 watts, this enclosure is built to handle dynamic music passages while staying efficient in demanding listening environments.

Inside, the enclosure holds an internal volume of 0.85 cubic feet and is tuned to 45 Hz. This combination aims to deliver a defined low end with controlled lows that feel musical rather than overpowering. The SVR-1X8D2 is pre-wired internally for a 1 ohm final impedance at the terminals, which simplifies wiring during installation and helps minimize guesswork when choosing a compatible amplifier or wiring configuration.
