JBL BassPro 8 Powered Subwoofer System with 8" Woofer - Black

JBL BassPro 8 Powered Subwoofer System with 8-Inch Woofer - Black

The JBL BassPro 8 adds deeper bass to your vehicle while offering a compact 8-inch powered subwoofer design. Additionally, its tuned slot-port enclosure helps the system deliver focused low-frequency performance. Meanwhile, the built-in 100-watt RMS Class D amplifier eliminates the need for a separate amplifier. Therefore, the integrated design keeps the main components together and simplifies your path to fuller bass.

Tuned Slot-Port Enclosure for Cleaner Bass

The JBL BassPro 8 uses a slot-port enclosure engineered and tuned by JBL for the woofer's optimal frequency. JBL builds the enclosure from MDF, or medium-density fiberboard, to help reduce resonances and unwanted ringing. Think of the enclosure as the frame around a picture: when the frame stays controlled, the main subject gets the attention. Here, that subject is the bass.

Inside, a lightweight yet stiff polypropylene woofer cone delivers clean reproduction while adding durability. That combination helps the JBL BassPro 8 perform whether you listen at moderate levels or turn the volume higher.

Built-In 100-Watt RMS Class D Amplifier

The JBL BassPro 8 includes a built-in Class D amplifier rated at 100 watts RMS and 200 watts peak. JBL matches the amplifier electronics to the woofer characteristics and enclosure acoustics, so the system works as a coordinated unit instead of a collection of unrelated parts.

Class D operation also helps the amplifier run cooler and draw less current from the vehicle's electrical system. The system has a maximum current draw of 9.5 amps, a quiescent current draw below 0.5 amps, and a 10-amp fuse.

Adjustable Bass Controls

The JBL BassPro 8 gives you useful control over how its bass fits with the rest of your audio system. Need more flexibility when shaping your low frequencies? Its crossover frequency adjusts from 60Hz to 200Hz with a 12dB-per-octave slope, while Bass Boost provides up to +9dB at 60Hz.

It also supports a 50mV-16V universal interface. For convenient level adjustment from the driver's seat, the system works with the optional JBL RBC Wired Remote, which JBL sells separately.

30Hz to 200Hz Frequency Response

With a frequency response of 30Hz to 200Hz, the JBL BassPro 8 focuses on the low-frequency range that gives music more depth and weight. Like adding a foundation beneath a room, the subwoofer fills in the lower end so the rest of the system has stronger support underneath it.

Protection Built Around the Woofer

The JBL BassPro 8 features oversized protection bars around the speaker. They add a bold car-audio look, but their main purpose is practical: they help protect the woofer from accidental damage. That extra barrier matters when the enclosure shares space with other items inside a vehicle.

Harman Standard Reliability Testing

The JBL BassPro 8 undergoes Harman Standard Reliability Testing and, therefore, faces demanding durability checks. Additionally, JBL tests the subwoofer through freezing, heat, vibration, ultraviolet exposure, and extended full-power operation. As a result, these tests help demonstrate the durability expected from JBL audio equipment.

Compact Powered Subwoofer Dimensions

The JBL BassPro 8 measures 9-7/8 inches wide and 11-1/4 inches high, while its depths are 10-3/8 and 8 inches. Additionally, its metric dimensions are 250mm x 285mm x 263mm x 203mm. Meanwhile, the integrated enclosure keeps the amplifier and subwoofer together in one compact unit.
