Subwoofer Gladen Gamma GSRB-08

The Gladen GSRB-08 is a subwoofer from the latest advanced Gamma series by Gladen. It offers an impressive balance of size, sound quality, and high performance at any volume, even in the tightest spaces. The enclosure designed for the spare wheel space is precisely crafted from non-toxic wood and meets strict automotive standards. For optimal performance, an amplifier with a power rating of 100 to 450 W RMS is recommended. This allows you to fully utilize the subwoofer's power and enjoy an unforgettable audio experience without overloading the subwoofer. The bass reflex design ensures higher dynamics and a more powerful bass component.

Main Features

  • 8" (200 mm) subwoofer from the advanced Gamma series.
  • Compact enclosure designed for the spare wheel space.
  • For optimal performance, choose an amplifier with a power rating of 100 to 450 W RMS.
  • Dual voice coil with 2 + 2 Ohm impedance for versatile installation options.
  • Bass reflex port for enhanced dynamics.
  • Robust steel grille protects the subwoofer from damage.
  • Embroidered Gladen logo on the front.

RMS powerThe RMS power of the subwoofer is constant power. This is also the performance of continuous use of the subwoofer. If you exceed the power for a longer period of time, irreversible damage or subwoofer voice coil burning! You can tell if the subwoofer is overloaded by the vibration of the subwoofer membrane. 250 W

ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying a subwoofer, it is very important that everyone make sure that the impedance is compatible with the amplifier that you are connecting to it. For subwoofers with a double voice coil, we recommend following the information in the advice center!

Example:
A 2 Ohm subwoofer cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms. A 4 Ohm subwoofer can easily be used with an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. Connecting a 4 Ohm subwoofer to an amplifier that is stable up to 4 Ohms also without problems. The most common subwoofer impedance is 4 Ohm. Example:
A 2 Ohm subwoofer cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms! A 4 Ohm subwoofer can easily be used with an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. The most common impedance of subwoofers is 1 x 4 Ohm.
2 + 2 Ω
Loudspeaker typeThe closed enclosure is characterized by a simple construction. Closed enclosures are usually smaller than bass-reflex enclosures, and a special damping fleece is used for their damping.

A closed baffle has the advantage of preventing an acoustic short between the front and back radiation of the subwoofer diaphragm. The disadvantage is that the closed enclosure raises the natural resonance frequency of the used subwoofer and thereby also increases the lower limit frequency. This is because the back side of the diaphragm is forced to compress and dilute the air inside the enclosure when the subwoofer is radiating in a closed enclosure. This adds to the inherent stiffness of the subwoofer's oscillation system the stiffness of the air in the closed enclosure. This causes an increase in the stiffness of the oscillating system and thus an increase in the resonant frequency of the entire system: subwoofer -> loudspeaker.

The increase in resonant frequency for a given subwoofer is greater, the smaller the volume of air in the closed enclosure. The relatively small volume of air in the closed enclosure acts on the subwoofer as an acoustic spring when radiating the back side of the membrane into the enclosed enclosure.

USE: Mainly for quality bass listening in the entire band with an emphasis on detail and accurate reproduction in the lower band.

Pros and cons:
+ pure reproduction
+ small closets
+ easier tuning
- low level of efficiency in deep bass
- loudness only at the cost of enormous deflection of the diaphragm
- a significant acoustic pressure cannot be expected

The bass reflex enclosure is designed in the same way as a closed enclosure, but it also has a so-called bass reflex mouthpiece, or "bass reflex". Needle foam is used to dampen bass reflex enclosures.

USE:
The ideal use is in cases where the listener wants to achieve a high volume and a good sound pressure level. It is the best compromise between sound quality and performance and is also the most commonly used

Pros and cons:
+ good efficiency in deep bass
+ a small deflection of the membrane is enough for a large volume
- reproduction less accurate than with closed enclosures
