BLACKAIR8D2S-V3 Black Air 8 inch shallow subwoofer
The BA8D2S-V3 is the flat sub of the Black Air range — a genuine 8″ subwoofer squeezed into just 73mm of depth. It's built for installs where even a standard shallow sub won't fit: under a seat, in a slim false floor, in a door, or any space that's wide but not deep.
The dual 2-ohm voice coil wires to any amplifier. It delivers real excursion and 200w of power handling — a proper subwoofer, not a full-range driver repurposed for bass. Where the rest of the Black Air range trades depth for output, this one asks for almost none.

About the Vibe BLACKAIR8D2S-V3
From our tech experts at CEN
The Vibe Black Air BLACKAIR8D2S-V3 is an 8 inch shallow-mount subwoofer with a dual 2-ohm voice coil and 200w RMS power handling. From the Vibe Black Air range, it is engineered to fit into spaces just 73mm deep — under a seat, in a door void, or in a slim false floor.
Who it suits
This suits drivers who need genuine bass output in a vehicle with very limited installation depth. If space is less of a constraint and you want a self-contained active option in the same range, the Vibe Black Air BA10ASQ 10 inch is worth considering.
Our tech experts advise
This is a passive driver — you will need a separate amplifier and an enclosure to use it. The mount diameter is 179mm (7.1 inches), so measure your cutout carefully before ordering. The dual 2-ohm coils will wire to any compatible amplifier. Installation is priced per vehicle; visit our car audio installation page to discuss your fit.

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 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.
Q: How shallow is the BLACKAIR12D2S-V3?
A: It has a mounting depth of 80mm (3.1 inch) and a mounting diameter of 267mm (10.5 inch).
Q: How much power does the BLACKAIR12D2S-V3 handle?
A: It is rated at 300W RMS and 900W peak, with dual 2 ohm voice coils.
Q: How should I wire a dual 2 ohm subwoofer?
A: The BLACKAIR12D2S-V3 has two 2 ohm voice coils, which can be wired in series for a 4 ohm load or in parallel for a 1 ohm load. Choose the option that matches your amplifier.
