Audio Ace STR8 NST 8” Subwoofer with Dyeable Cone – 1000W RMS
Sold by AudioSellerz.com
The Audio Ace STR8 NST 8” with Dyeable Cone is exactly what the name hints at – a straight-up nasty little 8 that hits way harder than its size. Designed for big output on a budget, this 8 inch subwoofer is rated at 1000W RMS and built to move serious air in a properly designed ported box.
With a 2.5 inch epoxy-coated voice coil, 159 oz motor, and 15.5 mm of Xmax each way, the STR8 NST is made to play loud, low, and aggressive while staying under control. It’s perfect for single-sub daily builds, stunt walls stacked with 8s, or under-seat/down-fire enclosures where space is limited but output can’t be.
The dyeable cone gives you full creative freedom – match your vehicle theme, team colors, or shop branding so the sub looks as wild as it sounds.
