ESX DBX208BPA: The ideal subwoofer for sedans and convertibles
The ESX DBX208BPA has been named "Product of the Year 2025" , and for good reason! This bandpass subwoofer has been designed with an ingenious approach that makes it particularly suitable for vehicles equipped with a ski opening, such as sedans and convertibles.
Smart design for optimal sound
ESX has opted for a practical and efficient design, notably thanks to its adjustable ventilation system . The vent can be repositioned from the front to the sloping rear wall, thus optimizing the propagation of bass through the ski opening. This flexibility is made possible by two wooden tunnels integrated into the central chamber of the box, one directed towards the front and the other towards the rear.
Repositioning is simple: simply swap the aluminum plate bearing the ESX logo and the aluminum vent frame. Since the tunnels are identical in size, the box tuning remains unchanged, and the unused tunnel simply becomes an extension of the internal volume.

An ideal solution for cars with ski openings
This innovative system makes the DBX208BPA a real asset for vehicles with a ski hatch, allowing bass to propagate directly into the passenger compartment. Whether under the soft top compartment of a convertible or behind the back seat of a sedan , this subwoofer ensures maximum performance by avoiding sound loss in the trunk.
An active model and a passive version
The ESX DBX208BPA features a built-in amplifier , making it a perfect plug-and-play model for those looking for an all-in-one solution. For those who prefer an external amplifier setup, the DBX208BPQ offers a passive version with the same impressive performance.
