Eclipse SW8200 Subwoofer Review
I normally don’t buy 4 ohm subwoofers, but the Eclipse SW8200 are very nice and have a great sound and a lot hard punch than his little brother, the Eclipse SW7200. There are not many things that you have to keep in mind with buy 4 ohms subwoofers instead of 2 ohms. Normally the 4 ohms subs can’t handle as much power as the 2 ohms, and they have to be wired differently to get the desired ohm load. Enough on me rambling about 4 vs. 2 ohm load.
One of the best things about this Eclipse subwoofer is that it has a low distortion and a high excursion speaker cone. What does this mean and why is it important? This gives the Eclipse SW8200 the highest speaker travel length in its class, 1.4 inches. It also have thruster air vent cooling system. Besides the looks of this sub, these are the main reasons that I am recommending this subwoofer. Just in case you came here to see how to wire these subs I will give a little Information as if you are wiring 2 of them. If you are looking for a 1 ohm load you will have to wire them parallel-parallel, another option is for the 4 ohm load series-parallel.
