Planet Audio AC8D Anarchy Series 8 Inch Car Subwoofer - 1200 Watts Max, Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coil, Sold Individually, Hook Up to Amp

Good sound and hits decently hard for the price. I have 2 10" audio planet subs in a customer box. Bought about 2 years ago. I have been pushing them to thier max the whole time after break in time. Got hot a time or 2 but still rockin. Awsome subs for a guy on a budget!!!

So far so good. Build quality is good as usual. Sound is good but haven’t finished break-in period to really crank it. If you buy this subwoofer, you have to break it in at low volumes like any subwoofer for 6-8 hours or you will blow it! The next 4-8 hours you need to break it in at medium volumes. After that, crank it up! It WILL hold its RMS rating! Breaking in ANY new speaker is an important step! Some brands do it for you, this one does not! It is important to slowly heat the voice coils up. Electric current needs to run the new coils which lightly heats them and gets them to set and sit properly. Those coils are wound up tight and glued in place. If you start running heavy currents (high volumes) through unset coils, they come apart and your speaker is blown. These planet subs do not blow at RMS levels. If you blew it, it’s bcz you didn’t break it in! Update: couple of months in, break in completed a long time ago. The bass is extreme. Way overpowering. Excellent subwoofer! Pushing 50w over RMS with no issues

Just came in today , instantly hooked it up and it sounds good along with my Skar 12 and My Rockford prime r1200 class d amplifier. Just wanted something to go along with my other 12. But good bang for your buck. I’m sure that the 1800 watt is maybe exaggerated. But even then for 50 bucks and two day shipping ?!?! Like what ?!?! You really can’t go wrong. Thinking about buying another for shizz n giggles lol. Thank planet audio. Oh yea ps your subwoofer did NOT come with a sticker. Big booooooo 👎! I’m the type that flaunts those stickers on my ride and was kinda surprised that I didn’t get one today. But whatever. Still great product. Even in the break in phase. Thanks planet audio. !

These speakers paired with a plant audio AC1200.2 amp sound amazing. For the price these subs are a steal. Currently running 2 10” subs in bridged mode running parallel. Can’t speak if they are going to last, but so far after the break in period these speakers punch. Speakers are mounted in a Harmon Kamron dual 10’box located in the spare tire well of my challenger. Very happy with my purchase so far. I will update if anything changes.

I had a shop install the sub with the amplifier that was matched for it and in 9.5 days it was done. Now I can't find my receipt so I don't know what to do with it besides just eat it. I can say that the sound was very deep and very clear. I imagine it just can't handle the power rating advertised, or even half that much. If you put maybe 300 clean watts of MOSFET power to it you will get a decent sound. I used the planet audio 1500 watt monoblock amplifier model #AC1500.1M and after the break in period of 20 hours low level volume, I turned the amp up to 25% and it sounded fine. After another couple days I powered it up to approx 50% power with no bass boost, head unit settings all at default, nor any audio boosting apps, as it was clear digital music, and a half hour into the ride it was making such weird grinding noises I was afraid it might catch fire. So, I removed the speaker, inspected for damage, odd smells, anything, tested the amp with a 12" 1400 watt subwoofer and it was fine. And nothing. The tech at the shop said it was a faulty voice coil and that I should have picked a different company if I wanted a 15" sub that was worth the time. That being said, the experience wasn't without it perks. The delivery speed was fine by me, although it was several days late, I was informed of the speakers location and Amazon went above and beyond keeping me informed of why and what and where so on and so forth. So good job Amazon. Now, imma send the speaker back, let's see how it gets remedied. Hopefully the sales ticket from Amazon will suffice for replacing this item. Maybe it was just a bad factory install or faulty materials, I cannot say. And that happens. But let's just wait and see what planet audio does as far as honoring their product warranty. I can appreciate their amps as the one I purchased is very good. I would buy again, and if this is remedied appropriately then they will retain me as a customer for many years to come. If not, well I seek another brand. Bad speaker-good amp-Amazon right on target and very thorough.

I have not run this unit under a load yet, but I am really impressed with the build quality of the little sub. Once I have everything connected, I will post a follow-up to this initial review. EDIT 3/11/16: So I had this in my car, and it sounded great, I just didn't know that I needed more bass than an 8" can reasonably provide. However, I am still using it in a homemade soundbase tube for my second PC, and just...woooow! Great power handling, great excursion, great bass for indoor purposes...I'm just really surprised by this little subwoofer's performance. This isn't the first Planet Audio component I've ever purchased, and it darn sure won't be my last. The $30 I paid for this kind of quality really has me curious enough to pay for the Big Bang series from Planet Audio. If you are making custom door enclosures for a component system, then this would be fantastic for a mid; it is not going to give enough boom by itself to fill an entire passenger cabin in a 4-door vehicle or SUV though. In a small sealed eclosure, it might be enough for a small 2-door coupe; depending on where you are able to mount the enclosure. All said, I would definitely buy this unit in particular, and pretty much any Planet Audio component now that I have experienced their quality. (I am not being compensated for writing that, either.)

Had these just a few month and already blew one. I don’t run them hard, using a 600 watt amp. Couldn’t believe when I heard it pop and then just poor quality sound of that. They sounded great for the little while I got to use them.

UPDATE: AFTER 2 WEEKS I TOOK THE SUB OUT TO PUT IN MY NEW ALPINE TYPE R, AND THE PLANET AUDIO SUB WAS A LITTLE STINKY...I THINK MAYBE 600-650 RMS MIGHT BE A LIIIITTLE TOO MUCH FOR THIS SUBWOOFER. STILL SOUNDS AWESOME AND POUNDS, BUT I WOULD SAY 500 OR SO RMS POWER IS ABOUT MAX FOR THIS SUB. I did a lot of research on subwoofers in the past month because I wanted to add a new Amp and Subwoofer to my car. My old system was 20 years old. I decided to purchase the Rockford Fosgate R500x1D Amp. Now I wanted a 'cheaper' sub to use @ 2 ohms, because the existing subwoofer I had was a single voice coil 4 ohm. So this Planet Audio AC10D was a nice $30 choice. This rockford amp is rated around 650 RMS watts @ 2 ohms...and this subwoofer pounds! I must have the volume and gain set on the amp perfect for this sub, so it's getting probably around 600 watts (also verified with voltage and impedance tests at the speaker leads)...I'm telling you this sub gets low and rumbles my whole body and the whole car! I've got it in a shallow sealed 'truck style angled box' about .5 cu/ft. Very very impressed for $30, definitely worth it! If anyone wants bass on a budget, that amp is around $135 and this sub is 30 bucks...so for a $165, I am blown away by how cheap you can get Awesome sound out of a single 10" subwoofer paired with a decent amp!! After this purchase, I am a Planet Audio fan for life.

Bon testé ce petit sub attention à se prix compte la moitié de la puissance annoncé pa la peine de maître un ampli super puissant et le caisson ç pareil 40l suffit vue qu'il ne fai pa 750rms o final mon ancien SUB focal 25a1 250rms double bobine bin sa change pa grand chose

Awesome Product. I Have 2 10's inverted on a ported box. Powering them with the Recoil Red1200.1 amplifier pushing 1250 watts rms. They sound amazing

Excelente producto, cumplió totalmente con las expectativas, y llegó un día antes de lo previsto incluso el paquete sin ningún tipo de abolladura o golpe, estoy bastante satisfecho, claro para un carro chico es perfecto, bastante discreto para el sonido desde afuera del carro y excelente calidad por dentro, obviamente no es estruendoso, pero si buscas disfrutar de un buen bajeo dentro del.coche este es muy bueno.

Sir abhi tak ye product mujhe nahi mila hai aur aaplog ne isse delivered bata rahe vry same ...amazon ....i really disappointed ...u r gud but ....not the best one ....

Ordered this to replace the blown factory 8” subwoofer in my 2000 GMC Yukon. I have it running off of a Pioneer CarPlay touchscreen head unit running thru the factory GM amplifier and it sounds really decent for the price point. Very impressed. Down the road I will power it from an aftermarket amp but for now this sounds nice and clear and even outputs enough bass to vibrate the side and rear view mirrors. Recommended!
