The MA8C-II speaker from Steg is an audiophile 8-inch mid-bass driver that offers a system power handling of 2x100W RMS. With an unpressed paper cone and a complete aluminum die-cast basket, it is specifically designed for Audi and Seat vehicles, including models such as Audi Q5, A3, A4, A6, and Seat Leon. A standout feature is its 51mm voice coil, which operates with a resonance frequency (Fs) of 50Hz. At the same time, the speaker operates with an impedance of 3.6 Ohms and is only suitable for vehicles without a premium sound system, highlighting its uniqueness in the field of high-quality audio components.
The installation of the Steg MA8C-II in Audi and Seat models is relatively straightforward, provided that no premium sound system is installed from the factory. The correct dimensions are important: The 8-inch subwoofer can be integrated into vehicles such as the Audi Q5, A3, A4, A6, and Seat Leon. The installation location is determined by the 20cm subwoofer. Before installation, one should check the existing speaker locations and possibly use adapter rings to ensure the correct fit. A complete tool set for speaker installation is advantageous to lay cables neatly and ensure a secure connection.
The system load capacity of the Steg MA8C-II is 2x100W RMS, which makes it particularly powerful. This means that the speaker is capable of handling continuous power of up to 100 watts per channel without producing excessive distortion. This high load capacity allows you to enjoy clear and powerful sound even at higher volumes. Especially if you like to listen to music loudly, this feature is crucial as it helps prevent damage to the speaker from overloading. Additionally, the high system load capacity ensures that the sound quality remains stable even under demanding conditions.
The MA8C-II bridge is specifically compatible with Audi models such as the Q5, A3, A4, and A6, as well as the Seat Leon, but only in vehicles without an already installed premium sound system. This specific design orientation guarantees optimal sound performance and fit. The mid-bass driver integrates seamlessly into the existing support structures of these vehicles, simplifying installation. However, it is important to note that for models with the original premium sound system, adjustments or the use of a different system may be necessary to ensure perfect compatibility and optimal sound quality.
The MA8C-II speaker features a high-quality unpressed paper membrane, known for its natural and nuanced sound. This membrane provides good damping behavior and clarity in the mid-bass range. The combination with a complete aluminum die-cast basket ensures a robust structure that does not develop resonances, reducing unwanted vibrations. This mechanically stable housing contributes to the longevity of the speaker by minimizing mechanical deformations. The choice of materials is crucial to the ability to reproduce detailed and pure audio signals.
The impedance of the MA8C-II bridge of 3.6 Ohms offers a perfect balance between power consumption and sound quality. This specific impedance allows for complementary control by most modern car audio amplifiers, which are calibrated to deliver slightly increased current compared to standard 4-Ohm impedances. As a result, it provides excellent efficiency in power transmission, resulting in a more powerful sound image. In systems with lower resistance, the system tends to absorb more power, making the impedance of 3.6 Ohms ideal for many applications in the car audio sector.
The 51mm voice coil of the Steg MA8C-II is crucial for sound reproduction and the thermal stability of the speaker. With a resonance frequency (Fs) of 50Hz, it allows for a wide reproduction capability of bass frequencies, giving the speaker a full, impressive sound. The large coil also ensures effective heat dissipation, preventing overheating at high volumes. Additionally, it helps reduce distortion by ensuring precise and consistent movements of the diaphragm. This is particularly relevant when richness of detail and dynamics of the audio performance are at the forefront.
The complete aluminum die-cast basket of the Steg MA8C-II improves sound behavior by providing a rigid and resonance-free structure. This material is known for its high strength and low weight, which supports the reduction of cabinet distortions. Since the aluminum die-cast baskets do not easily absorb vibrations, sound fidelity is optimized through minimized standing waves and cabinet resonances. This property contributes to the clarity and detail that set the audio reproduction of the MA8C-II apart from other models. At the same time, the aluminum die-cast increases durability and structural integrity, making the speaker suitable for demanding applications.
The Thiele Small parameters of the Steg MA8C-II include a resonance frequency (Fs) of 50Hz, which is crucial for low-frequency transmission, and an impedance of 3.6 Ohms, which is relevant for power tuning and compatibility. These parameters significantly determine the speaker's ability to effectively reproduce low frequencies. A low Fs value like that of the MA8C-II indicates excellent bass reproduction, which is particularly essential for applications that prioritize deep bass. The tuning of these parameters thus contributes to the outstanding sound performance and efficiency of the speaker, in line with the requirements of audiophile users.
The resonance frequency (Fs) of the MA8C-II bridge is 50Hz. This frequency is the natural oscillation frequency at which the speaker's voice coil oscillates without external influence. A lower resonance frequency, like that of the MA8C-II, means that the speaker is capable of effectively reproducing deeper bass tones. This is particularly important for music genres that require rich bass. The Fs controls how the speaker responds to low-frequency signals, and a lower Fs results in enhanced bass reproduction, accentuating frequencies below the mid-hearing range.

The 8-inch paper cone of the Steg MA8C-II for Audi and Seat: A technical detail

The MA8C-II bridge features an unpressed 8-inch paper cone, which ensures particularly natural and unadulterated sound reproduction. Paper as a material offers high internal damping, which minimizes distortion and results in a clearer sound. Compared to other materials, the sound is less affected, which is particularly noticeable in complex pieces. If the cone were thicker or made of a different material, the sound could appear either overly muted or too bright, which would be less pleasing for all musical styles.

Why the complete cast aluminum basket of the MA8C-II bridge is crucial for the sound

The speaker features a fully cast aluminum basket, which contributes to stability and minimizes resonance. Aluminum is known for its lightness and high strength, which allows it to optimally absorb vibrations without distorting the sound. One advantage over steel baskets is aluminum's superior corrosion resistance, which increases the longevity of the woofer. A heavier material could add unnecessary weight and negatively affect vibrations, potentially compromising the delicate sound of the Steg MA8C-II.

51mm voice coil and resonance frequency at 50Hz: Sound detail of the MA8C-II bridge

The 51mm voice coil of the Steg MA8C-II is tuned to a resonant frequency of 50Hz. This combination allows the speaker to reproduce low frequencies with impressive precision. A large voice coil like this can handle higher power levels without overheating or distortion, which is particularly crucial for bass passages. A smaller voice coil diameter would limit the low-frequency performance, and the overall sound spectrum would be less impressive.

System power handling of 2x100W RMS and impedance of 3.6 Ohm of the MA8C-II bridge

A system power handling of 2x100W RMS is a clear indication of the Steg MA8C-II's performance across all power classes. This power handling ensures that the speakers play clearly and without distortion, even at high volumes. In addition, the impedance of 3.6 ohms makes the speaker an efficient match for most car hi-fi amplifier systems. A higher impedance could reduce efficiency, while a lower impedance would increase the load on the amplifier.

Compatibility and installation of the MA8C-II bridge: Less effort for Audi and Seat

The MA8C-II mount is ideal for certain Audi and Seat models, especially those without a pre-installed premium sound system. This includes vehicles such as the Audi Q5, A3, A4, and A6, as well as the Seat Leon. This compatibility selection simplifies the installation process, as no complex modifications are required. Should you encounter any difficulties during installation, masori.de offers on-site installation in Frankfurt (Oder) .

What is the impedance of 3.6 ohms on the MA8C-II bridge?

The 3.6 ohm impedance is particularly advantageous for car hi-fi systems, as it ensures a smooth transition between the amplifier and the speakers. This impedance allows the amplifier system to achieve more efficient power conversion than would be possible with a more atypical impedance. A lower impedance could overload the amplifier and potentially lead to distortion or failure.

What are the reasons for the 8-inch size of the Steg MA8C-II diaphragm?

Choosing an 8-inch paper cone offers an excellent compromise between bass capabilities and fast mid-frequency response. Larger cones tend to provide better bass reproduction while maintaining a reasonable response time. A smaller cone would respond faster but might struggle to reproduce particularly low frequencies. The 8-inch Steg MA8C-II strikes the ideal balance here.
