Its dual 2-ohm voice coil design provides wiring flexibility for matching an amplifier and system load. It is intended for installations that need strong bass from a compact driver footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis subwoofer is suited to enthusiasts building or updating a custom bass system with an external amplifier and enclosure. Its 800-watt RMS power rating calls for an amplifier selected and tuned to deliver appropriate continuous power at the final wired impedance. Both voice coils should be connected during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe V8DV2 uses a hybrid carbon fiber and polypropylene diaphragm with a stitch-reinforced Santoprene surround. This combination is designed to support controlled cone movement while handling demanding bass passages. Cerwin-Vega rates sensitivity at 85 dB (1W\/1m), with a 52 Hz free-air resonance specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ferrite motor structure and 2.5-inch voice coil form the core of the driver assembly. The subwoofer uses a cast aluminum basket and a single-terminal impedance selector for a tidy connection point. Its dual 2-ohm coils can be wired to present either a 1-ohm parallel load or a 4-ohm series load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe V8DV2 can be used in a custom sealed or ported enclosure, with Cerwin-Vega publishing a ported enclosure recommendation for this model. Confirm available mounting clearance before cutting, as the driver requires a 7.48-inch cutout and 5.43 inches of mounting depth. Pair it with an amplifier stable at the intended final impedance and configure gain, crossover, and subsonic filtering appropriately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual 2-Ohm Voice Coils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports 1-ohm parallel or 4-ohm series wiring for amplifier matching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e800W RMS Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a continuous-power target for selecting a compatible amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid Carbon Fiber\/Polypropylene Diaphragm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines lightweight response with cone rigidity for bass reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStitch-Reinforced Santoprene Surround:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports cone travel and helps provide long-term surround durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFerrite Motor Structure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplies the magnetic drive system behind the woofer assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Terminal Impedance Selector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consolidates the connection area for the dual-voice-coil configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe V8DV2 is built around a cast aluminum basket, ferrite magnet system, 2.5-inch voice coil, hybrid carbon fiber\/polypropylene diaphragm, and Santoprene surround. Its overall diameter is 8.72 inches, while the outer-edge diameter is 8.05 inches. These dimensions should be compared with the enclosure baffle, grille clearance, and surrounding trim before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse an enclosure with a 7.48-inch cutout and at least 5.43 inches of mounting depth. For the manufacturer-published ported recommendation, use 0.20 cubic foot net internal volume, the specified slot-port dimensions, and a subsonic filter set no lower than 30 Hz. Wire the coils in parallel only with an amplifier rated for a 1-ohm load; series wiring presents a 4-ohm load.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cerwin Vega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45618829328454,"sku":"CER-V8DV2","price":215.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/71Dkr2nZbOL.jpg?v=1784370097","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/cerwin-vega-v8dv2-8-dual-2-ohm-subwoofer","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
