Unrivaled power handling
The JBL Arena 8 is engineered to product uncompromising, mammoth base from an amplifier capable of delivering up to 1200 Watts (400 Watts RMS) of power.
Dual voice coil design
The Arena 8's powerful dual 2-inch voice coils are each suspended in a separate magnetic gap. At low power, both coils drive the cone, cancelling any nonlinearities. As power increases and one coil rides out of its gap, the other coil still applies force to the cone.
Die-cast, vented alumium frame
The Arena's aluminum frame features significant venting and heatsink fins for added power handling, and rigid construction to keep critical voice coil components in perfect alignment.
Composite paper full-edge subwoofer dust cap and cone
Composite paper's combination of light weight and rigidity make it the ideal cone material to move a large amount of air without flex or distortion.
NBR(nitrile butadiene rubber) surround
The Arena utilizes a single piece NBR surround seal between the front and back of the woofer. NBR is environmentally stable, meaning you get the same elite performance from the Arena during Summer and Winter.
Progressive spider
The Arena's progressive spider ensures restoring force to the cone, resulting a more musical experience from the subwoofer even in the highest excursion conditions.
