Product Overview
The James Loudspeaker ST8 4 Ohm is a passive 8" subwoofer wired for 4-ohm operation, built for commercial AV installations that need compact low-frequency reinforcement on low-impedance amplifier channels. Its 8-inch driver delivers controlled bass for theaters, multi-zone systems, and high-end residential spaces, making this 4-ohm passive subwoofer a flexible building block. As a passive sub, it runs from an external subwoofer amplifier. The ST8 4 Ohm suits integrators specifying low-impedance distributed bass.
Product Description
The ST8-4 is part of the James Loudspeaker ST subwoofer family, where the suffix indicates electrical configuration. The 8 indicates an 8-inch driver and the -4 indicates 4-ohm wiring suited to standard low-impedance amplifier outputs. Because it is passive, the ST8-4 requires an external subwoofer amplifier, leaving power and signal processing under the integrator's control. It is the impedance counterpart to the 70V ST8-70, which shares the same 8-inch driver but is wired for constant-voltage distribution. Within the ST range it steps up to the larger ST10-4 for greater displacement. An optional aluminum port accessory is available for the ST8 platform. The full lineup is available in the James Loudspeaker collection. This makes the ST8-4 a practical specification for compact low-impedance subwoofer systems.
