I tried this in a Lincoln town car designed for a free air 8". The results were okay but lacked control and easily got distorted. I placed it in a box and got better results. I am surprised at how well this sub performs for the price. My advice though is to save your money and invest in a better sub or one rated/designed to go free air or infinite baffle. By the way use the specs sheet to design the box. **Q: Why does it have to sides to connect to?** A: Its basically 2 speakers in 1, it's done mainly for more wiring options, you can wire left channel on 1, and right on the other, or wired together in different combinations to raise or lower the ohms to match your amplifier/system, there used in home and mobile audio systems, as long as the onms are a safe match, to low or high can burn up your amplifier or make hour music sound crappy, at the same time if the ohms are setup right, you can draw the maximum wattage from your amp safely although sound quality may not be as good at that level it's a trade off, 2ohm to 4ohm as example, 2 louder 4 quality. **Q: how many watts?** A: It will run cleanly off of just 50 watts. This is a fairly sensitive sub and doesn't need a bunch of power. 100w of rms power will drive this thing about as far as you want ro take it. I run one in a .6 ft sealed enclosure in my 16 yr old sons 2002 civic, it has a surprising amount of outpit but matches very nicely to a well treated door containing 6.5" midwoofers and tweeters.I also have one in a 2001 suburban in the factory subwoofer enclosure. Again, it is very surprising to see people react to the sound a "cheap" subwoofer produces. **Q: can this run 2ohm in parallel? is there a version of this with dual 4ohm coils? I need 2ohm version of this for Lexus SC430 (aftermarket 2ohm sub amp)** A: No. Dual 8 ohm coils can only give a 4 ohm load in parallel for a single woofer. It is a fairly high sensitivity rating though, so if you could find specs for your old woofer, if the Dayton was 3db higher...then it would be comparable to your old woofer at 2 ohm. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good sound ideal replacement for Lexus LS430 *by J***R on 14 June 2022* Very good sound ideal replacement for Lexus LS430 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived dented but works well in a sealed enclosure. *by G***) on 8 June 2021* Had to use a claw hammer to tap it back into shape, the driver has a low Fs and a fair amount of xmax so in a small sealed enclosure can hit pretty low, overall I'm happy but would have been happier if it wasn't damaged on arrival. ### ⭐ Stopped working after one month *by A***. on 6 June 2021* Not sure of the unit was defective or quality is bad but this stopped working after one month or so. Tested it on a different amp and it did not work at all so it went to the bin. Disappointed with my purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dayton Audio SD215A-88 8" DVC Subwoofer - Skar Audio FSX65-8 6.5" 300 Watt 8 Ohm Pro Audio Midrange Loudspeaker, Each - Dayton Audio DC160-8 6-1/2" Classic Woofer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/68681130-dayton-audio-sd215a-88-8-dvc-subwoofer](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/68681130-dayton-audio-sd215a-88-8-dvc-subwoofer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
