About the Eton USB8 AR
From our tech experts at CEN
An active Eton 8 inch subwoofer in a matched enclosure, shallow enough for an underseat location, handling 100w RMS.
Who it suits
Drivers who want more low end without losing boot space, and vans and campers where a boot box is not an option.
Our tech experts advise
It still needs a fused feed from the battery and a signal source, and the level wants setting against your front speakers. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 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: 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.
Q: Will the Eton USB 8 AR fit under my seat?
A: Eton lists its dimensions as 345mm x 240mm x 77mm (H x W x L), and it is designed for underseat mounting. Check the space under your seat before ordering, or ask CEN to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
Q: Does the Eton USB 8 AR need a separate amplifier?
A: No. It has an integrated 160W (2 x 80W) amplifier module with high and low-level inputs, so it can connect to a factory or aftermarket head unit.
Q: What comes in the box with the Eton USB 8 AR?
A: The USB 8 AR subwoofer, a level remote control, a wiring kit and mounts.
