## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these quiet as far as background hum? When sting close and at low volume or quiet parts is there audible 60hz noise?**
A: I have not heard any hum or noise of any kind. mine are run thru a Yamaha AS-801 and Elac UB 52's. Nice thump at any level.

**Q: How to connect it to YU2 as speaker has one Sub Out and Sub takes two channel input?**
A: Thanks for your question. From the included User Manual: "In a typical full range application using one subwoofer like the sub8 thru a single wire connection, you can connect to either the Left or Right Line Level Input."
World Wide Stereo – since 1979 – and a proud authorized Kanto dealer.

**Q: Does this subwoofer makes you feel sub-bass (60 Hz and below)?**
A: It's a very clear very tight very fast base it does extremely well with 80s style music I have the satellite speakers and the bass speaker but if you're looking for modern day thumpity thump down the road in the car Style music where you hear shaking the walls yes and no. it does not do well with A continuous Non-Stop background vibration. it's more geared towards quick hard thumps but if it's a long base Non-Stop it doesn't do that it kind of softens with long bases but if it's a for instance Thunder or storm it's very aggressive and will produce hard thumping Bass well. There are videos on YouTube that can describe this a lot more just type in the model number and there's a few videos that the people who make the speakers have made which is what I looked at and decided to buy it I'm happy with mine

**Q: Seller: any information about electronics and finish chages kanto made between the old sub8 and the sub8vm?**
A: I've had both in white and the difference is that the original sub was a gloss white finish and the new sub is a matte white laminate. I can't speak to the other colors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***N on 17 November 2025*

After being blown away by the performance of my Kanto YU6MB speakers, I decided to complete the setup with the Kanto SUB8VMB Sealed Powered Subwoofer and I'm glad I did. This subwoofer is the missing piece that takes an already impressive system and elevates it into something genuinely powerful, balanced, and full-range. Sound Performance (5/5) - This little 8 sealed sub hits way above its size. The bass is tight, controlled, and musical not boomy or muddy like many compact subs. It blends beautifully with the YU6MBs, filling out the low end without overpowering the mids. Whether I m listening to acoustic tracks, rock, or cinematic scores while I work, the SUB8VMB adds depth and presence you can feel, even at moderate volume. Despite being in my home office, it never overwhelms the room. Instead, it delivers clean, articulate bass that feels natural and enhances everything the YU6MBs are already great at. Build Quality & Design (5/5) - I purchased the Matte Black (VMB) version to match my speakers, and the finish is flawless. It looks premium, understated, and pairs perfectly with the YU6MB aesthetic. The cabinet is solid, and the sealed design keeps the bass tight and precise. Setup & Integration (5/5) - Pairing it with the YU6MB was straightforward essentially plug and play. The crossover and volume controls give you enough flexibility to dial in the exact level of bass you want, depending on your room size and listening preference. Once tuned, it just disappears into the soundstage exactly what a good subwoofer should do. Home Office Use - Even though this is my desk setup, the SUB8VMB fits surprisingly well. It tucks neatly under the desk, and because it s a sealed sub, it performs well even in smaller spaces without creating unwanted resonance. Together with the YU6MBs, the system feels full, balanced, and incredibly enjoyable for long working days. Verdict - If you own the Kanto YU6MB, this subwoofer is absolutely worth adding. It completes the sound without overwhelming your environment, and the tonal balance it brings is outstanding.
