Finally a Compact Budget Subwoofer with Big Sub Performance
Cheap subwoofers are hard to come by and when you do find them they usually perform poorly with minimal bass extension, inefficient & under powered amplification and excessive port noise. The Voll S8 solves all of these problems with bass extension down to 23hz, very low power usage, low port noise and an excellent flat response curve.
The Voll S8 is just as suitable under your desk for music/gaming as it is for use in your home theatre. The low bass extension for its size and powerful 100WRMS amplification makes it great for movies while the well designed port, cabinet,8″ driver and port plug enable it to cleanly deliver punchy bass for music.
Unlike many competitors using older designs the S8 uses modern class D amplification. This gives the S8 incredibly low idle power usage and low susceptibility to interference/noise from other electronics

I have a SMSL Q5 amp from Voll, and some bookshelf speakers (another brand) which was a great value setup. I always knew something was missing in the bottom end though and was never entirely satisfied. Subwoofers are expensive, with no budget options available in Australia; it didn’t seem right to spend more on a sub than my entire setup.
I was very happy to see the S8 released, and it is exactly what my setup needed. Music is now just how I wanted it to be, and if I turn the volume up a bit it goes way beyond my expectations for movies. Highly recommended.

Love it. Never knew how much a sub can complete a system. This with the B50’s just makes listening to music a joy.

I’ve owned an Audioengine S8 sub and that was flabby for electronic music and a disappointment. The Voll sub however is responsive, packs a punch and is great value (at half the price of the Audioengine sub!)

Purchased this Voll S8 8″ Subwoofer for $179 + Free Delivery (which is a bargain) and it arrived within 2 business days to me (in South Australia). My initial impression? This sub has far surpassed my expectations! It came included with a 1.5m RCA (mono) cable which wasn’t long enough for my sound system setup so I purchased a 4m RCA cable and used this instead with no issues. I connected this Sub to my Pioneer VSX-522 via the LFE Input and after configuring my speakers (Front + Sub) in my Receiver and setting the AV Crossover to 150Hz and the Sub Crossover to 160Hz (for a warm handover of frequency) everything was up and running beautifully! I only have this sub set to 50% volume and that’s plenty and even though it doesn’t have a physical “auto power off” button (which was the *only* reason I was considering not to purchase this sub) I read online from a rep that it actually DOES have built-in auto power off (or standby mode) so it doesn’t use much power when there’s no audio signal. The sub came with a foam plug for the port (for punchier bass, which I couldn’t really notice…) so I removed the plug and the bass is much deeper and louder which I prefer! I couldn’t find anything remotely comparable in terms of quality, sound and value — near this price point! As decent “brand name” 100W RMS Active Subs start from $399 AUD and above… so I highly recommend this sub to anyone who currently had a 2.0 or 4.0 system (like I did) and wants to add that sweet sweet .1 (sub) into their home theatre system setup! Thanks Voll for the great value sub!

Purchased the Voll S8 downfiring sub for my 5.1 system in my “manshed”….just finished setting it up with Pioneer AV receiver, Bose 301 bookshelf speakers, a no-name centre speaker & Sony rear speakers….previous sub was a Yamaha 6” front firing unit, the new sound with this S8 is cheese & chalk in comparison to the old setup, the presence & depth of sound from this sub is quite surprising….I wish to give a big thank you to Jay for getting this delivered to me from SA to NSW in these difficult covid19 times with warehouse close downs a plenty….I have no hesitation in recommending the Voll S8 Subwoofer….best regards
