01 Overview

The details

Product Overview

The flagship driver of the GaleForce lineup, the GaleForce Audio F-3 8″ is a heavy-hitting 2-way marine-grade pro-audio co-horn speaker engineered for extreme output, massive vocal projection, and rugged outdoor reliability.

Combining a high-output 8-inch midbass driver with a high-efficiency aluminum compression horn tweeter, the F-3 8″ is built to overcome severe open-air noise, highway wind, and high-SPL sub-bass systems. Constructed with a stitched glass fiber cone, durable rubber surround, high-grade N38H neodymium motor, and protective rear covers, this bi-ampable monster gives you absolute control over tone, power, and clarity.

Key Features
  • Flagship Pro-Audio OutputHigh-efficiency 2-way co-horn design handles up to 450 Watts RMS on the woofer and 125 Watts RMS on the compression horn driver.
  • Weatherproof ConstructionBuilt for extreme outdoor exposure with a stitched glass fiber cone, long-throw rubber surround, aluminum-coated horn throat, and sealed rear assembly protection.
  • High-Flux Neodymium Motor (N38H)Delivers maximum magnetic efficiency and motor force while keeping physical motor weight low for multi-driver setups.
  • Integrated Compression HornFeatures a dedicated aluminum horn driver with a 1.5″ voice coil yielding an impressive 106 dB SPL rating for high-frequency projection.
  • Bi-Ampable TerminalsSeparate input terminals for the woofer and horn driver allow for independent active crossovers, gain matching, and DSP tuning.
Fitment & Applications
  • Marine & Boat AudioTower pods, gunwales, and open cockpits requiring extreme volume across open water.
  • Motorcycle AudioCustom 8″ saddlebag lids, tour-pak pods, and fairings built to slice through open highway noise.
  • Powersports & UTVsSide-by-sides, SxSs, and golf carts needing heavy midbass punch and weather resistance.
  • Extreme SPL & Demo BuildsHigh-density multi-speaker door panels and chuchero arrays where bi-amped horn control is required.
Tuning TipInstallation Tip: The F-3 8″ includes an inline capacitor for simple single-channel wiring. However, to maximize its output, bi-amp the speaker on separate amplifier channels. Set your woofer high-pass filter (HPF) around 70 Hz – 90 Hz and your horn HPF around 3,500 Hz for peak performance.
