Wide Vehicle Compatibility

The XTR8SWD2 is designed as an OEM replacement for many factory premium audio systems found in:

• Lexus
• BMW
• Nissan
• Toyota
• Infiniti
• Ford
• Acura

Always verify speaker dimensions, mounting depth, and impedance before installation.

Dual 2-Ohm Voice Coil Design

One of the biggest differences between the XTR8SWD2 and its dual 4-ohm counterpart is its dual 2-ohm voice coil configuration.

Benefits include:

• More amplifier wiring options
• Lower impedance configurations
• Greater amplifier efficiency
• Flexible system design
• Easier matching with aftermarket amplifiers

This makes the XTR8SWD2 especially attractive for enthusiasts building higher-output factory replacement systems.

Compact Shallow-Mount Design

With a mounting depth of only 2.76 inches, the Orion XTR8SWD2 easily fits into locations where standard subwoofers cannot.

Ideal applications include:

• Factory rear deck locations
• Trunk-mounted OEM subwoofers
• Rear cargo panels
• Behind-seat installations
• Tight factory speaker cavities

Its slim profile allows for a true plug-and-play style upgrade in many vehicles.

300 Watts RMS Performance

Despite its compact dimensions, the XTR8SWD2 offers impressive output.

Power ratings include:

• 300 Watts RMS
• 1,200 Watts Peak Power

When paired with a quality amplifier, it produces noticeably stronger bass than many factory-installed speakers while maintaining excellent sound quality.

UV-Coated Composite Cone

The subwoofer utilizes a reinforced paper and fiber composite cone finished with a UV-resistant coating.

Advantages include:

• Excellent rigidity
• Improved bass accuracy
• Reduced distortion
• Heat resistance
• Long-lasting durability

The UV coating also helps protect against sun exposure and everyday environmental wear.

Polypropylene Dust Cap

A durable polypropylene dust cap adds another layer of protection by:

• Shielding the voice coil
• Improving structural integrity
• Enhancing durability
• Maintaining consistent performance under heavy use

Combined with the reinforced cone, the dust cap contributes to reliable long-term operation.

NBR Rubber Surround

The heavy-duty Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) surround provides excellent cone control while resisting cracking and deterioration.

Benefits include:

• Long service life
• Flexible suspension
• Smooth cone movement
• Stable low-frequency performance
• Excellent durability in extreme temperatures

Ceramic Magnet Motor

The XTR8SWD2 utilizes a powerful ceramic magnet assembly to deliver consistent motor force and reliable bass performance.

Performance specifications include:

• Frequency Response: 40 Hz – 300 Hz
• Sensitivity: 83 dB

The result is balanced, controlled bass that integrates well with both factory and aftermarket speaker systems.

Key Features

• 8-inch free-air OEM replacement subwoofer
• 300 Watts RMS
• 1,200 Watts Peak Power
• Dual 2-ohm voice coils
• Ceramic magnet motor
• UV-coated paper/fiber composite cone
• Polypropylene dust cap
