Overview

The JBL STAGE 82 8" 800W Subwoofer delivers authoritative low-frequency reproduction for vehicles lacking depth and punch. This 8-inch passive subwoofer component handles 200W RMS continuous power with an 88dB sensitivity rating, producing clean bass from 38Hz to 200Hz. The stiff polypropylene cone and automotive-grade hi-roll rubber surround ensure accurate transient response in small to mid-sized cabins. HARMAN-standard environmental testing guarantees reliability against heat, cold, and vibration.

Key Features:

• 200W RMS Continuous Power – The JBL STAGE 82 handles 200W RMS with an 800W peak ceiling, delivering punchy bass that fills small to mid-sized vehicle cabins without distortion. This passive subwoofer component pairs effectively with monoblock amplifiers in custom audio builds.
• 38Hz Low-Frequency Extension – With a frequency response spanning 38Hz to 200Hz, this 8-inch driver captures deep sub-bass tones that factory speakers miss. The 88dB sensitivity rating ensures efficient output from moderate amplifier power.
• Stiff Polypropylene Cone – The lightweight yet rigid polypropylene cone maintains its shape under heavy excursion, producing clean transient response and accurate bass tracking. This cone material resists moisture and temperature fluctuations common in vehicle interiors.
• Automotive-Grade Hi-Roll Rubber Surround – The heavy-duty hi-roll rubber suspension allows extended cone travel while maintaining linearity at high output levels. This automotive-grade material withstands UV exposure and temperature cycling without cracking or hardening.
• 1.5-Inch High-Temperature Voice Coil – The 38.8mm voice coil dissipates heat effectively during extended high-power passages, preventing thermal compression and maintaining consistent output. This high-temperature design secures reliable performance during long listening sessions.
• High-SPL / Low-Distortion Tuning – JBL's acoustic engineers have voiced this driver for high Sound Pressure Levels with minimal distortion. The tuning delivers defined, textured bass rather than loose boom, satisfying enthusiasts who prioritise audio quality over raw output.
• HARMAN Environmental Reliability Testing – Each STAGE 82 driver undergoes HARMAN's rigorous environmental test regimen, including extreme temperature exposure, vibration stress, and continuous full-power operation. This testing validates durability beyond standard consumer-grade components.
• Versatile Enclosure Compatibility – The 4-ohm nominal impedance and compact 8-inch form factor integrate into sealed, ported, and bandpass enclosures. This flexibility allows custom installers to design subwoofer boxes that fit tight spaces like pickup trucks and small hatches.

Ideal For

• Car audio enthusiasts building compact sealed or ported subwoofer enclosures for small vehicles
• Daily drivers upgrading factory sound systems with dedicated low-frequency reinforcement
• DIY installers replacing worn subwoofers in existing custom audio setups
• Budget-conscious buyers seeking JBL audio quality without premium price tiers
• Enthusiasts pairing a single 8-inch subwoofer with a modest monoblock amplifier
