ZXT8PR 8 Passive radiator
The ZXT8PR passive radiator is formed from the main components of a subwoofer minus the motor structure and voice coil, this component is used to enhance the output of a bass enclosure in both volume and low bass dynamics. Passivate radiators are often seen in home audio setups to add the lower bass rumble without compromising additional space, they are fitted alongside a powered subwoofer, and the internal pressure of the bass enclosure which is sealed moves the passive radiator to generate sound and air pressure.
Adding a passive radiator to your bass enclosure design will drastically enhance the bass response you will get and give the illusion of bigger subwoofers or larger enclosures from a much smaller footprint. Our ZXT8PR is a perfect pairing for our ZXT8D2 subwoofer in your enclosure much like we have used in our ZXT18PB 8 down-firing enclosures.

FAQs
Q: Do I need an amplifier for this subwoofer?
A: Yes, unless it is an active (powered) subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. Passive subwoofers need an external amplifier matched to the RMS power and impedance shown in the Specification tab.
Q: What size enclosure does this subwoofer need?
A: The recommended enclosure volume is listed in the Specification tab where the manufacturer provides it. As a rule, sealed enclosures give tighter, more accurate bass while ported enclosures deliver more output. Contact CEN if you would like a recommendation for your build.
Q: What does RMS power mean?
A: RMS is the continuous power a subwoofer can handle, and it is the number that matters when matching an amplifier. Peak or max figures describe short bursts only. Match your amplifier output to the RMS rating in the Specification tab.
Q: Sealed or ported enclosure - which should I choose?
A: Sealed boxes are compact and produce tight, controlled bass suited to sound quality builds. Ported boxes are larger and produce more output at low frequencies, suited to those who want maximum impact. Either works well when built to the recommended volume.
Q: Can CEN build or supply an enclosure and fit everything?
A: Yes. CEN supplies enclosures and offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises, including amplifier wiring. Contact us to discuss your build.
