Yamaha VXC8SW Ceiling Subwoofer — 100 W RMS, White

The Yamaha VXC8SW is a purpose-built ceiling subwoofer that enhances the VXS and VXC series systems with powerful, low-end extension while preserving the architectural integrity of the space. This S-model in-ceiling subwoofer is engineered to deliver tight, musical bass and clean integration with full-range speakers, letting you enjoy deeper sound without sacrificing interior design. Perfect for commercial environments, home theaters, or multi-purpose rooms, the VXC8SW sits discreetly in the ceiling and becomes an invisible powerhouse that elevates every listening experience.

Designed to smoothly extend the low frequency range, the VXC8SW handles demanding audio with poise and clarity. Its compact, white enclosure blends with most ceilings, ensuring the speakers remain the focal point of the room rather than the installation hardware. When paired with Yamaha’s VXS and VXC series, this subwoofer provides a cohesive sonic footprint across the entire system, delivering theater-like bass for movies and impactful musical bass for immersive listening experiences. The result is a balanced soundstage that faithfully reproduces bass notes with accuracy and depth, enhancing dialogue, effects, and musical nuance alike.

Beyond raw power, the VXC8SW is engineered for reliability and ease of integration in professional installations. The 8-inch woofer is optimized for ceiling-mounted configurations, offering controlled, well-defined low-frequency output that complements the mid and high frequencies produced by the main speakers. The white finish and flush-mount design minimize visual intrusion, making it ideal for venues with strict aesthetic standards—from corporate lobbies to modern living spaces. This makes the VXC8SW not only a sonic upgrade but also a practical architectural solution for spaces where aesthetics matter as much as audio quality.
