PRV Audio 8MB700FT 8" inch 8 Ohm (Forte Series) Midbass Car Speaker 700 Watts RMS (Single)
Brand : PRV Audio
- SKU:
- PRVAudio-8MB700FT
PRV Audio’s 8MB700FT Forte Series is specially tailored to provide increased power handling and reduced distortion. The larger voice coil ensures excellent heat dissipation and the necessary Bl to maintain high sensitivity, even at high power, with minimal distortion.
The lower Qts allows for more precise midbass. Superior fidelity is achieved through the perfect combination of a non-pressed cone with a smooth frequency response and a well-ventilated magnet motor, designed to allow high displacement without increasing distortion.
- 2.5″ Voice Coil: Delivers more power handling and less distortion in mid to low midbass frequencies
- Ventilated voice coil gap reduces power compression
- 8″ PRO audio midbass speaker designed for low frequencies at high power – 8 Ohm
- 700 watts RMS program power enables high acoustical output
- More compact, stronger neodymium version available: 8MB700FT-NDY
For superior fidelity, the special composite cone is crafted from non-pressed paper to reduce break-up, resulting in a smooth frequency response. Its low moving mass enhances the speaker's efficiency.
This 8″ midbass speaker is an excellent choice for pro audio systems or high SPL automotive systems, where extremely high output is needed.
This midbass is built to withstand years of rigorous professional use! Its specially designed spider reduces distortion at high excursion, while the double roll surround ensures linear cone travel.
The 8MB700FT is an extremely efficient 8″ midbass from PRV Audio. With a wide frequency band and a 97 dB sensitivity rating, this speaker is perfect for pairing with compression drivers in a 3-way system when used with the recommended HPF via the PRV Digital Signal Processor (DSP):
- 95 Hz at 12 dB per octave filter crossover / BT12
- 85 Hz at 18 dB per octave filter crossover / BT18
The large 2.5″ voice coil enables high power handling of 700 watts and supports the motor's outstanding cooling system.
Engineered with an 11 mm winding depth, this inside/outside voice coil ensures excellent thermal and mechanical durability.

- *Nominal Power Handling:* Defined as the maximum RMS power the speaker can handle over a 2-hour test with pink noise featuring a 6dB crest factor and a bandpass filter with 12dB/oct tuned to its usable frequency range.
- **Continuous Program Power (RMS):** The maximum power the speaker can handle during a regular musical program using our recommended filters. This rating helps define the optimal amplifier power to provide a clean signal without clipping or saturation.
- ***Max Peak Power:** The highest power level the speaker can handle for brief moments, typically during music peaks. Sustaining this power for longer periods will damage the speaker.
