Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Replacement 8-ohm PA woofer for a passive cabinet. For techs and DIY builders repairing or rebuilding a live sound box, not a finished speaker.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a blown low-frequency driver in a passive PA cabinet
  • DIY cabinet builds where an 8-ohm woofer is called for
  • Keeping a spare driver on hand for gigging rigs

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone wanting a plug-and-play powered speaker
  • Guitar amp cabinets — this is a PA driver
  • Deep sub-bass duty on its own

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

8 ohm

Standard PA load. Two in parallel drop the cabinet to 4 ohms, so check what your amp tolerates.

Detail 02

96 dB sensitivity

Middle-of-the-road efficiency. Reaching high SPL leans on amp watts rather than the driver doing it for free.

Detail 03

2.5 inch voice coil

A larger coil spreads heat over more area, which matters during long sets at steady output.

Detail 04

59 Hz resonance

Its natural low limit sits near the bottom of bass guitar and kick. Add a sub for anything below.

Detail 05

Woofer, not full-range

Built to cover lows and low-mids. Highs come from a separate horn or tweeter in the cabinet.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Bare driver only — no cabinet, grille, gasket, wire, or mounting hardware
  2. 02Confirm your cutout diameter and bolt pattern before ordering a replacement
  3. 03Match the whole cabinet's final impedance to your amplifier, not just this driver

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can I put this in a guitar amp cabinet?

It is a PA woofer, so it is voiced and built for sound reinforcement rather than guitar amp duty. For a guitar cab, use a guitar speaker instead.

02Do I still need a subwoofer?

Its resonance sits at 59 Hz, so useful output tapers off below that. If your material needs deep low end, run a sub underneath it.

03Will two of these work on one amp channel?

Two 8-ohm drivers wired in parallel present 4 ohms. Wired in series they present 16 ohms. Check what your amplifier is rated to drive.

04Is this a powered speaker?

No. It is a raw replacement driver with no amplifier, crossover, or enclosure. You need a passive cabinet and an external power amp.
