The SWS-8Xi is part of the SWS series of low-profile shallow-mounting subwoofers, initially invented by Earthquake Sound Corporation to deliver massive bass from a shallow space. With a patented inverted style and ribbed cone design, this 8-inch subwoofer maximizes excursion in shallow mount applications, allowing for placement in almost any location. The innovative design moves suspension components to the side, reducing mounting depth while enhancing sound capability.
The SWS was developed to address a key and increasingly common challenge in modern vehicle engineering: how to produce impactful, low-frequency bass within limited space. As vehicle interiors become more compact and automakers maximize every inch for passenger comfort and safety, traditional subwoofers with large motor structures have become less practical. The OG of shallow woofer design, the 8Xi is part of Earthquake Sound Corporation’s SWS series of low-profile, shallow-mount subwoofers. It was specifically built to deliver deep bass in confined spaces. Featuring a patented inverted design and ribbed cone, this 8-inch subwoofer maximizes excursion in shallow mounting applications, making it adaptable for various installation locations. Its innovative design shifts suspension components to the side, reducing mounting depth while boosting sound performance.
