The CoAx-8 coaxial speakers deliver professional full-range sound for musicians building custom PA cabinets, venue owners replacing blown drivers, and mobile performers who need reliable raw speakers. Each 8-inch driver combines a woofer and tweeter in a single chassis, creating coherent sound with optimal coverage patterns.

These coaxial speakers handle 200 watts RMS (400 watts peak) each, providing serious headroom for live sound applications. The 96 dB sensitivity rating means they'll get loud with modest amplifier power, while the 8-ohm impedance works with virtually any pro audio amplifier.

The pressed steel chassis supports a 2-inch voice coil woofer with paper cone and cloth surround, plus a 1-inch voice coil compression driver for highs. The 40Hz-3kHz frequency response covers the critical vocal and midrange spectrum where intelligibility matters most. At 6.9 pounds each, these drivers mount securely in custom enclosures with eight mounting slots around a 7 1/8-inch cutout.

Whether you're building floor monitors for a band, replacing drivers in church sound systems, or constructing custom DJ speakers, these coaxial drivers work in venues up to 200-300 people. The coaxial design eliminates the phase issues common with separate woofers and tweeters, making them particularly effective for stage monitors and distributed sound systems.

Each pair comes ready to install in your existing or custom enclosures. Standard speaker wire connections make integration straightforward with any amplifier or powered mixer.

Seismic Audio backs every CoAx-8 pair with a one-year warranty and fast shipping. Professional-grade components at a price that makes sense for working musicians and sound professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues can these coaxial speakers handle?

The CoAx-8 speakers work well in venues up to 200-300 people when properly encased and amplified. With 200 watts RMS handling and 96 dB sensitivity, they provide sufficient output for small to medium churches, clubs, and outdoor events. For larger venues, consider multiple pairs or step up to higher-wattage drivers.

Do these speakers need a separate subwoofer for full-range sound?

While the CoAx-8 covers down to 40Hz, most live sound applications benefit from a dedicated subwoofer below 80-100Hz. These coaxial drivers excel in the critical vocal and midrange frequencies, making them ideal for speech reinforcement and monitor applications even without subwoofer support.

What type of enclosure do these coaxial speakers require?

These raw drivers require a properly designed speaker cabinet with a 7 1/8-inch cutout diameter and at least 5 inches of depth clearance. The 8-ohm impedance works with virtually any enclosure design, from sealed monitor boxes to ported PA cabinets. Enclosure volume and tuning will affect low-frequency response.

Can I wire these speakers in series or parallel configurations?

Yes, the 8-ohm impedance allows flexible wiring options. Two speakers in series create 16 ohms total, while parallel wiring drops to 4 ohms. Ensure your amplifier can handle the resulting load impedance. Most pro audio amps work well with 4-ohm or 8-ohm loads per channel.

What cables and connections do I need for installation?

These are raw speakers requiring standard speaker wire connections to positive and negative terminals. Use 12-16 gauge speaker cable for runs under 50 feet, or heavier gauge for longer distances. No special connectors are included – you'll connect bare wire or spade terminals directly to the driver terminals.
