SSL LOPRO8 Amplified Subwoofer System 8-inch 600-watt

Worth your money and must say a quality product any day.I rounded this one based on online reviews of underseat 8inch subs. Its performance is top class even better than a pioneer underseat one when you compare prices.If your system has a sub out with controls its top notch.If its undistorted bass for those ears in the car (hatch back) its more than enough.More over its got all the controls on the sub that one needs and you also get a bass control to fit close to you to adjust for every song should you need to.The seller is prompt n responsive and i had no issues. In fact i got it nearly a week earlier than the expected date and neatly packed too.

Tenia mis dudas por la opiniones negativas pero el resultado fue excelente. Lo instale en el asiento trasero de una ford lobo doble cabina y transmite un sonido fuerte, nítido y suficiente para escuchar música dentro del vehículo, de hecho te sorprende lo potente del bajo a pesar de las dimensiones del cajón. La calidad de los materiales es de primera y su precio es también de lo mejor; opciones de la competencia como db drive o cervin vega son el doble de costosas. Finalmente decir que si buscas un sonido fuerte y justo para sentir un bajo dentro del vehículo, esta marca es una excelente opción. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Ordered this one to boost up my system , I just renewed all the speakers and brought a 75 pound head unit from JVC ( because I wanted a USB socket and a CD player.... This is a budget system in my car but now with the ad on of the sub woofer it sounds fantastic ! Oh and boys ... dont forget to hook the remote to the head unit...

Its not working and a cable is missing

I wanted to upgrade the low end of my stock car stereo. The stock stereo was actually quite good and capable of vibrating my rear view mirror, but once it got to that territory, any more bass added would clip the mid range speakers. My goal was to compliment my stock stereo with this sub; this was also my first foyer into DIY subs. I didn't want to have a complicated setup with an Amp + Sub Box + Wiring so this was a great alternative.I purchased a 4AWG wiring kit as to over engineer my solution but I will say now, unless you want to do 2 of these, stick with 8AWG as it's smaller and the terminals for the 12V/Grnd are designed for 8AWG and I had to trim the 4AWG down to make it fit.After all was said and done, I don't even listen to my stereo at half volume and it is loud enough for me. The sub is perfect for complimenting the stock stereo but the RMS values are grossly overstated; I can't imagine it's more than 200W. If you want to feel this sub more than just a general vibration in your seat, I would suggest buying two or jumping to a higher powered one; I plan on doing just that in the future.I'm giving it 5 stars as I planned this build out for a month and knew exactly what I wanted and what I would be getting out of this sub. I only wish I could get some overhead in the bass to play with so I could further tune. My sub has the Gain at full and it is just at the right spot for bass but I would love more.

Sound Storm Laboratories LoPro8 InstallationApril 2014 – I installed this subwoofer in a 2014 Honda Accord Plug In using the stock radio and navigation system that came with the car. The subwoofer was placed under the passenger seat with a little room to spare as I wanted to keep everything as stealth as possible. This subwoofer has a built in amplifier and various controls for great bass and gives the music the extra punch it needs. I’m amazed this subwoofer doesn’t have a port but can still produce deep and strong bass levels for its size. I bought mine new from Amazon at $113. It’s near impossible to get to the back of the car radio without dismantling the entire dash so I chose not to do that and created an alternative to share.Before you get started, safety first. Be sure you put electrical tap on all exposed speaker and power wires. Be sure you put electrical tape in any area where they might touch another wire or connector. Wrap electrical tape around wires where they might rub anything and expose bare wire later on. Don’t add power to the subwoofer until you’ve double checked your connections and ready to test.For subwoofer power, I bought a 20 amp buss fuse holder at Home Depot and attached one end to the positive battery post. Use the battery in the engine, not in the trunk. Then open the passenger front door and there’s a plastic vertical panel next to the door hinge covering access to the quarter panel wheel well. I pushed a red 8 gauge wire through there to above the front right light assembly, then well above the radiator around the left light assembly to the battery. I attached the other side of the fuse holder to this wire. NO FUSE INSTALLED AT THIS TIME.Passenger front seat – foot area. There is one horizontal panel just above where the feet would be. That pulls down. The kick panel is that horizontal panel you step over when you enter into the car. That pulls up. There’s a vertical panel just right of the feet and that pulls off.The passenger door has a black rubber boot that feeds wires from the cabin. I made a small cut in the boot on the cabin side and fed the red power wire through the boot. I followed the existing wire harness along the kick panel and the wire comes up under the passenger seat. I patched the cut in the boot with some caulking. For the ground wire, I used black 8 gauge wire and attached it to the passenger seat mounting screws.This subwoofer has a third connection that tells the subwoofer to turn on when the car is turned on. Otherwise the subwoofer would have power all the time and drain the battery. I took a 12 Volt cigarette lighter charge adapter and cut the end off the cord. I ran the 12 volt power side to the subwoofer Remote connection. Do not connect this to the Remote Level Control on the other side.For speaker input, the subwoofer can use low end RCA cable input or high end speaker input. I chose the high end. At the passenger kick panel noted above, is a wire assembly. You’ll find a solid blue wire and solid orange wire, the rear right speaker. Splice in a 10 gauge speaker wire to these and route the rest under the passenger seat. I could not locate the left speaker wires so here’s my fix. I ran 10 gauge speaker wire from under the seat, to the back seat of the car, through one of the top child car seat anchor points to the left speaker. There, I put female spade connectors on the ends. About 2 inches back, I stripped the insulation off, and attached 3 inch leads with male connectors. I pulled the speaker connector off the speaker. I put the female connectors on the speaker and male connectors on the speaker connector.At this time, from under the passenger seat, you should have a red power, black ground, 2 speaker wires, and a cigarette adapter line.At the subwoofer… connect the speaker lines to the supplied connector. Be sure your polarity is correct. There is an extra ground wire on the connector, be sure to connect it to ground. Attach the red wire to power. Attach the black wire to ground. Be sure your polarity is correct here too. Go to the battery and install the fuse. Install the Remote Level power adjust cable and control. DO NOT CONNECT THE 12 VOLT CIGARETTE ADAPTER yet.HINT: Be sure your speaker polarity is correct. Using a spare speaker, you can attach one line to the speaker and ground the other side. Turn on your car radio with low volume. If you hear speaker sound, then that is the positive line. No sound, and the speaker hook up is the negative side. Turn off the car power.On the LoPro8, set the controls like gain, boost, etc to very low. Be gentle when turning. Turn full clockwise. Then turn full counter clockwise. Then turn clockwise about a quarter turn, about a 3 o’clock position. Do this to all 4. Do the same for the Remote Level Control. Power on the car. Power on the radio. Turn the radio volume to low. Now connect the cigarette adapter and look for a green light to show on the subwoofer. Look and smell for smoke and sparks and shut down immediately if you see these. Put on your favorite song on the radio and turn the volume up to just above where you can hear it. Adjust the Remote Level Control, volume of the radio, and the Gain first in small steps. Then fine tune using the other adjustments. For a few days, I placed my subwoofer on a box and kept in on the floor in the back seat until I could adjust the subwoofer settings just right for me.Before putting the unit under the seat, double check that your connections are tight but don’t overtighten where you’ll break something. Be sure to use electrical tape where you see exposed wires. There is a vent under the seat. I used a curved strip of aluminum foil to deflect the air around the subwoofer. When you push the subwoofer under the seat, don’t bind or pinch the wires. If the music still sounds good, and you don’t see or smell sparks or smoke in the car or engine, you can put back the panels you removed.The LoPro8 packs some good bass and extra punch to the Honda radio. I can see the rear view mirror vibrate when I have the volume up about 25; it goes to 40. Sometimes I like to play the music loudly and the LoPro8 is a great unit for the size and I am very pleased.Problems… The Honda radio has 2 microphones that listen to the noise in the car as it goes faster. At around 40 mph, rough roads, or windows down and cars rushing by, it causes the subwoofer to sound off on its own. I haven’t tried disconnecting the microphones yet. Secondly, the cigarette lighter adapter used to power on the subwoofer may need to be adjusted to something under 12 volts as it causes a slight pop on the subwoofer when the power is turned off. An easy fix with an in line resistor.
