Overview

Built for the install, not the spec sheet

ESB DB Burn DB2-8 8-Inch High Output Mid-Woofer

Increased Output Capability. Designed for High-Energy Systems.

The ESB DB Burn DB2-8 is an 8-inch (200mm) high-efficiency mid-woofer designed for enthusiasts building systems that require increased output, strong midbass performance, and the ability to maintain control at higher listening levels.

As the larger option compared to the DB2-6.5, the DB2-8 provides additional cone area, allowing it to move more air and deliver greater output capability in the lower midrange and midbass frequencies.

Sold individually.

Designed for Output and Control

The 8-inch platform provides a natural advantage for systems where dynamic impact and efficiency are priorities.

Additional cone area allows the DB2-8 to produce strong output without relying only on increased amplifier power. Combined with ESB's DB Burn motor design, the driver is built for demanding applications where volume, durability, and consistency matter.

The goal is not simply being loud.

The goal is producing output that remains controlled and usable within the complete system.

System Application

The DB2-8 is designed for high-output front stage applications including:

  • SQL systems

  • High-performance daily drivers

  • Demo vehicles

  • Competition-focused builds

For a stereo front stage, order two DB2-8 mid-woofers.

Proper installation is critical. A rigid mounting location, appropriate door treatment, amplifier selection, and tuning all determine how much of the driver's capability reaches the listener.

Recommended Pairing

The DB Burn Series pairs well with amplifiers capable of providing strong, reliable power and control.

Recommended options include Zapco multi-channel amplifiers selected around the complete system design and power requirements.

HF Audio Perspective

The ESB DB Burn Series exists for enthusiasts who want more output without abandoning system balance.

A high-output system should still sound like a complete system.

The DB2-8 provides additional cone area and capability for builds where a traditional 6.5-inch driver may not meet the output goals of the listener.

The right choice depends on the system being built.

More output.

More capability.

Same goal — a system designed around the listener.
