8″ TI Cast Aluminum Subwoofer Frame

The 8 TI Subwoofer Frame is a four-spoke cast aluminum basket intended for high-excursion builds. Specifically, the wide-mouth architecture gives the cone room to travel.

Cast Aluminum Construction

Die casting holds tighter tolerances than stamping or welding. As a result, components seat with less mechanical play during assembly. Moreover, aluminum conducts heat far better than steel, so the basket pulls thermal load away from the motor instead of holding it in. Therefore, it works as a heat sink as well as a frame. In addition, aluminum resists corrosion and holds up to the temperature swings a vehicle sees.

The 8 TI Subwoofer Frame is a higher-end basket, and it is built for serious 8″ designs rather than budget low-power builds. Therefore, pair it with a motor and suspension that justify the frame.

Our ALV2 motor pairs well with this frame for 600 watt 8″ subwoofer builds. However, if you are using your own motor, confirm the bolt pattern before ordering, since frames are not universally interchangeable.

What Else You Need

The 8 TI Subwoofer Frame is one piece of the build. In addition, you will need a motor, cone, spider, surround, voice coil, and dust cap to complete an 8″ subwoofer. We carry each of those components separately, so you can spec the build the way you want it. Not sure what pairs with what? Contact us and we will recommend the correct parts for your build.
