Installed at Mediocre Customs, Cary IL. We fit them at our Cary shop with the right adapters or custom pods, then wire and tune them so the front stage sounds right from the driver's seat.
The ESB 8.165 is the 6.5" (165 mm) mid-woofer of the 8000 Series, with a non-pressed paper cone, an oversized Y-35 ferrite magnet and a large-diameter voice coil. The 8000 Series ("Elevated to Perfection") is the direct heir to ESB's 7000 Series, with every detail refined: materials, basket shapes and finishing, and the ventilation of the magnets and voice coils, always with installation versatility in mind.

Questions we get in the shop
Can I buy it online and have you install it?
Yes. Order here, pick in-store pickup, and we hold it for your install day. You can also buy it at the counter.
Will they fit my factory locations?
Most vehicles take these with an adapter. Bring it in and we'll check depth and tweeter spots.
Do I need an amp?
They'll run off a radio, but they sound their best with clean amp power. We'll set you up either way.
