About the Vibe PULSEC8A-V4
From our tech experts at CEN
An active Vibe subwoofer, sized for an underseat location, with the amplifier built in, rated at 80w RMS.
Who it suits
Drivers who want bass without finding room for a separate sub, amplifier and enclosure. Compact active units are the usual answer where boot space is not negotiable.
Our tech experts advise
It still needs a fused feed from the battery and a signal source, and the level and crossover want setting against your existing speakers so it fills in rather than booms. 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: Does the Vibe PULSEC8A-V4 have a built-in amplifier?
A: Yes. It is an active subwoofer enclosure with its own amplifier, rated at 80W RMS and 240W peak, so no separate subwoofer amplifier is needed.
Q: Will the PULSEC8A-V4 fit under my seat?
A: It measures 75mm high, 290mm wide and 208mm deep and is designed to fit under a seat in many vehicles. Check the space under your seat against these dimensions, or contact CEN with your registration.
Q: Can the PULSEC8A-V4 connect to a factory stereo?
A: Yes. It has a high level input with an auto sense circuit that turns the amplifier on and off without a remote turn on wire.
