I am curious about these contraptions!
This thread is not for the people who want to run dual voice coil subs running 2ohm, bridged and molded to the truck boxes with amps and capacitors..... A number of us just need a little seasoning to our taste in music. The future is here and we have a multitude of ways to improve our stereo. Lots of us have had cars with factory subs and decent sounds; for instance, my Honda Elements' tiny minuscule 6.5" (i think it has dual V.C.) provides enough lows to fulfill the missing sounds you find in a barely average system. I'd like to achieve this with minimal expense and efforts. In comes the Active/Powered Subwoofers. I am skeptical of the slimline low powered units, but as I said: The Future Is Here! Some of these may be transducer types more than woofer type. I'd like to highlight the high level (speaker output) no fuss option for us lazy and cheap connoisseurs of music. (quick note: I play Bass guitar from time to time and its my favorite parts of all music. Mesa Boogie/Ampeg bass amps ruined my enjoyment of basic sounds)...
Below is a small sampling of a list of options from cheapy to sorta cheapy:
(links will be from Amazon because of connivence. I am sure some are nearly identical to others)
Sound Storm LoPro10
Sound Ordnance B-8PTD
BLAUPUNKT GTHS81
MTX TN8MS
Rockville RW68CA
Nakamichi NBF618S
Alpine PWE-S8
Kicker Hideaway 10"
MB Quartz
Pioneer TS-WX130DA
JBL BassPro sl2
Kenwood KSC-SW11
Cerwin Vega Mobile 12"
KICKER 11HS8
RockFord Fosgate PS-8
Gravity GRWF10
JVC CW-DRA8
*** I believe these would all fit and use speaker level connections. If you have experience with any of these; PLEASE chime in! Cheers
