Features
The 8MB500 was designed to provide outstanding durability and strong midbass punch. This 8″ midbass car speaker is purpose-built to cover the critical low frequency range in a custom car stereo setup.
Optimized to work great as a door speaker in car audio applications. If you need a speaker at 8 Ohm for a large custom door panel, we have the 8MB500.
- A deep and punchy midbass response along with a strong vocal response
- Car audio midbass speaker that offers smooth lower response through a punchy mid bass range
- Natural paper cone and cloth triple roll surround for smooth response
- Handles 500 Watts, guaranteeing endurance at loudest volumes
- Impressive choice for high output custom car audio systems – 4 Ohm impedance
The latest technology enables us to increase the magnet field dramatically without using huge magnets, making this midbass one of a kind, with a large motor diameter that is not bulky, yet is capable of handling high power!
This is a great choice for a 3-way system, where you can combine a super tweeter with a subwoofer to get a full spectrum of audio.
Featuring a naturally damp paper cone and special coated dust cap, it makes this midbass speaker able to cover a wide range of frequencies from 75 Hz to 7,500 Hz.
Developed to perform well in tight enclosures, its triple roll surround keeps its cone travel linear at high mibdass excursion. Using the right combination of cone and suspension, this speaker is able to reproduce human vocals with dynamic midbass punch.
PRV 8″ Midbass Speaker 8MB500-4 Car Audio 500 Watts / 4 Ohm
Recommended Amplifier configurations and crossover points:
2 Speakers – 1x MDX1200.2 1 Ohm, Bridged both speakers in parallel
4 Speakers – 1x MDX1800.1 1 Ohm, 4 speakers in parallel
Recommended HPF using PRV Digital Signal Processor DSP when using up to 500 Watts RMS musical power
- 95 Hz at 12 dB per octave filter Crossover / BT12
- 85 Hz at 18 dB per octave filter Crossover / BT18
If you have a super tweeter on your system the recommended LPF is 7,500 at 18 dB per octave filter Crossover / LR18 but you may set it lower to blend in better depending on the other components in your system, or you may not use a LPF at low power to take advantage of its high frequency response.
Technical Details
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

*Nominal power handling is defined as the maximum RMS power that the speaker can handle in a 2-hour test with a pink noise with 6dB of crest factor and a bandpass filter with 12db/oct tuned in its usable frequency range.
**Continuous Program Power (RMS) is the maximum power that the speaker can handle considering a regular musical program using our recommended filters, this power can be used to define the optimum amplifier power to provide a clean signal without clipping or saturation.
***Max Peak Power is the maximum power operation for the speaker, this power is allowed just for a few fractions of a second, usually found just on the peaks of the music. Keeping this power for a little longer timer will damage the speaker.
