PRO-CSW800 8" Car Subwoofer

Your RadioShack PRO-CSW800 8" Car Subwoofer lets you increase the bass response of your vehicle’s sound system. When mounted inside an enclosure, your sub- woofer’s high-output, low-distortion design provides qual- ity bass sound reproduction. The subwoofer’s long-travel voice coil lets it handle high input power with ease.
