1018-10inch-Aluminium-shell

The 1018 10-inch Aluminium Shell Active Subwoofer is a high-performance, slim-line car audio solution. Unlike traditional bulky wooden subwoofer boxes, this unit uses a reinforced aluminium housing that acts as both a protective enclosure and a massive heat sink for the built-in amplifier.

Key Features The ultra-thin design allows the unit to be mounted under the driver or passenger seat, saving valuable trunk space. The heavy-duty aluminium shell is much stiffer than plastic or wood, which eliminates vibrations and provides a tighter, more accurate bass response. Features a built-in power amplifier, meaning you do not need to buy or install a separate amp to get it working. Includes a wired remote to adjust the bass volume from the driver's seat and a phase switch to align the timing of the bass with your door speakers.

Technical Summary Model 1018 Speaker Size 10-inch High Excursion Driver Material Full Aluminium Alloy Shell Amplifier Type Integrated Monoblock Input Type Supports both RCA and High-Level Speaker Wire inputs Cooling Passive cooling via the aluminium chassis

Best Applications Perfect for hatchbacks or double-cab bakkies where there is no space for a large subwoofer box. An ideal upgrade for those who want to enhance their music with deep bass without modifying the original factory look of the car. Because it can take signals directly from existing speaker wires, it is very easy to add to a factory-installed radio.

Installation Tips Since the amplifier is built into the shell, you must run a power cable directly from the car battery to the unit under the seat. Because the shell is aluminium, it is quite heavy. Ensure it is securely bolted or Velcroed to the floor to prevent it from sliding while driving. If your radio does not have RCA outputs, use the High-Level input harness included with the unit to tap into your rear door speakers for signal.
