W8-2145 8" Paper Cone Full Range Driver 8 Ohm

The Tang Band W8-2145 8" Paper Cone Full Range Driver delivers exceptional full-range audio from a single, elegantly engineered driver. Designed to eliminate the need for separate tweeters and midrange units, this broadband driver offers a cohesive, natural soundstage that is ideal for high-fidelity loudspeaker projects, custom installations, and vintage radio restorations. Its versatility makes it equally suited to open-baffle designs, compact enclosures, or as a dedicated midbass driver in multi-way systems.

At the heart of the W8-2145 lies a bamboo-fibre and paper cone, which combines lightweight rigidity with natural damping properties to produce detailed, articulate reproduction across the frequency spectrum. The 8-ohm impedance and 90 dB sensitivity ensure efficient power handling and compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers. Technical specifications reveal a carefully optimised design: a total Q factor (Qts) of 0.44 balances transient response and bass extension, while a maximum linear excursion (Xmax) of 3 mm allows for controlled, low-distortion output. The 6.8-ohm DC resistance and copper voice coil wire contribute to stable performance, and the 190.5 mm cut-out diameter with eight mounting holes simplifies installation. With a nominal diameter of 203.2 mm and a depth of 114.3 mm, this driver fits neatly into standard enclosures.

Whether you are building a bespoke stereo pair or upgrading an existing system, the Tang Band W8-2145 offers a refined, full-range solution that marries traditional materials with modern engineering for truly immersive sound.
