Designed for versatile applications, this 8-inch speaker is perfect for producing high-fidelity sound in both residential and commercial settings.

One of the standout features of the AC-8CX is its 8-inch polypropylene woofer, which is designed to deliver deep, rich bass response.

Together, these components create a well-balanced audio profile that reproduces music, movies, and dialogue with remarkable clarity and accuracy.

This durability ensures that the speakers maintain their performance and aesthetic appeal over time, even in challenging conditions.
