Welcome to the very first 8” sub worthy to wear the SSA logo. A decade of reknown SSA signature sound that is pure, warm, and precise, while having tremendous output that is now finally availble in the new SSA F8L 8” sub. (Pronounced “Fatal”) Vicious in looks, and pure beef in build, the all new SSA F8L 8” sub is an absolutle tank just like every other SSA sub, but finally in a compact package. Conservatively ratted at 650 watts, right off the bat, you can tell the SSA F8L means business. 

For the serious mechanical side of the design, the SSA F8L employs a very powerful motor with dual high strength Y35-140 oz magnets protected by a motor boot, yet the inductance is kept in check as the F8L touts a full aluminum shorting ring. To handle some serious power, the 4-layer copper coil is a 2.5” round wire that is 45.9mm high. Keeping everything under control for a wide array of conditions, is a pair of Nomex spiders and a dual layer high roll foam surround. As with all SSA subs, the SSA F8L has a non-pressed pulp paper cone. The large spring loaded push terminals make wiring up easy and quick, while the high tinsel count leads can carry plenty of power to the copper coil. 

For durable and consistent performance for years to come, the SSA F8L was designed to stay cool under the harsh daily abuse. With cooling spacers allowing extra air flow to the coil and motor, and a vented Aluminum former, you will never have to sweat the thermal limits. Doesn't matter if you are doing an arsenal of subs or a single sub for adding some clean and powerful bass in a small space, the SSA F8L will most certainly get it done. Port this little monster and send it some clean power and you will be hard pressed to hide an evil smile. With out question, SSA F8L is a killer choice in the world of the high end 8” subwoofers.

Looks good Will the rest of your subs start to incorporate the stitched leads like the F8L?

Wow !!! Nice driver !!!

Damn, that's a tough looking sub!

Is it available mark? Looks awesome. And it's real ideal for tight spaces, looking at your recommendations

Lol yea I checked out the store after I read this. 

The only spec I'm not seeing is the xmax.  Can that get posted up as well?

The individual round basket spacers make it look cheap and cobbled together. Wish a properly designed basket or full diameter basket spacer were used. Wishing SSA the best with their new endeavor.

Another will shortly.  The big time subs vary from model to model.

Yes, we went live with it Friday.  It will love 0.55 cubes tuned to 31hz for daily.

Its not cobbled together in the slightest, it was nearly a year of me working with the factory to get it where it is now.  A fully new tooled basket is way out of our budget at this time.  So with one of the longest coils available for an 8" sub, it was needed to run the spacers.

What would the recommended port area be for these?

My fault, 15mm, product page updated.

15 square inches per cube of internal space.

Thank you 

My favorite 8" driver by far is the 8W7.  It's such a capable driver, but I can fit two of these in the same space for slightly less money with twice the output (theoretically).  Hmm. . . .

And the comment on the spacers, well, I feel the exact opposite.  I've seen some other "higher" end drivers that have just used stacked washers.  I am happy to see a proper spacer.  I think they'd look better if they were black, but FAR from something cobbled together.

Yea I like the spacers  . I like that look more than the sa8 ones that go all the way around and are plastic

Hey A A Ron whats the displacement on these?

Just shy of 0.1 cube.

Any plans on a d2 ohm coil version?

Yes sir, next run.

These are just starting to get out there.  Looking forward to the reviews.

Looking forward to the pair I just ordered! Two on about 2k in my 4 door S10 to replace the HDD12 that the car seat is pushing out!
