  • Today we are going to try out an inexpensive powered subwoofer for your car from Walmart...the Dual TBX10A. When I bought this unit a few months ago, it was only $50, now bumped up to $80. This sub offers a 10" driver in a compact, truck style enclosure, along with a 100W RMS power amplifier. Seems like a lot for $80, but it is any good? Let's take a closer look at what makes this subwoofer work and find out how much power the amplifier puts out.
    Make sure to watch the video all the way to the end so you can see my scooter fail from years past.

    To everybody bagging on Dual electronics: you are missing the point of their existence. They are a value brand, built for a certain budget and customer. The sub is excellent for a Walmart customer looking for bass without spending a lot of money. Keep in mind all the ripoff amps like Boss, Crunch, etcetera that Big D has dynoed. This was honest power delivered for a good price.

    • @spirorevelis7100
      @spirorevelis7100 Před 4 lety +2

      Yup. And to add on to that. Their products do what they say they will. What more do you want? Because if you do want more....reach into your pocket and pull out more money. It's that simple. But at their respective price point, Dual delivers.

    • @Trick-Framed
      @Trick-Framed Před 2 lety

      I had a 220W Boss AMP with an MTX Blue Thunder Wedge Box in an 82' Firebird. When my mother passed I got some money and put in a $3500 Rockford Fosgate system. pair of 12" punch pros, Punch 200 AMP. It was port tuned for super low bass and I could feel 5hz in that car. Thing is? I slapped a 15" MTX box in there I got for a trade (Amiga 500) and it put out better sound. In fact if I had put a better amp to my MTX Wedge it would have sounded almost as good. I paid alot to learn that lesson at 18 years old. I will never make that mistake again.
      Years later when I wanted to bass up my Lincoln Mark VII I went ahead and bought Sony 12"s and a sealed box, a Sony 1000HX amp (550 watts @ 2ohm mono .05% THD) and it hit harder than my 12" Fosgates, in fact it harder than the new Fosgates that I talked my brother in law into buying when he was building his first system. I then tried a pair of 15" punches and ran into a lack of air space in the car and trunk. The 15"s were starved and just didn't sound that good in that situation. This was in the early Aughts. They never caught the super lows, in fact no other system i've ever heard caught lows that low that wasn't custom, save one built by the same guy that built mine using 2 15" Fosgate Punch in an Isobaric config. I've been out of the "Dj Magic Mike make the car go boom" lifestyle going on a few years and I decided I wanted SOMETHING better than stock so now I have this Dual with a 10" JL Wx0 in it. Perfect match. It needs 110 watts RMS @ 4 ohms and this amp provides just that. Sub maxes at 500 watts and the amp at 300 so I should never have an issue. Oh and as a BTW, that AMP is too powerful for that Dual sub. The voice coil on mine froze. That's why I bought it. Paid $20 for a broken sub and a working amp/box. So I am back to cobbling systems together myself and couldn't be happier doing so. You never know what you can get to sound awesome with a little work and some thought. Regardless of how you got the money.

    This is a pretty gnarly little powered sub for how inexpensive it is. I put one in my truck after blowing 2 Memphis 12's and a Memphis monoblock 1100 and I'm pretty well satisfied with the sound. Far more than I expected after having listened to a $3500 system for a year. Dual products are grossly undervalued and underrated. They have a couple of amplifiers that are just nasty. Made in the USA, too, I think

  • @robsorgdrager8477
    @robsorgdrager8477 Před 4 lety +3

    I have found that dual is a trusted brand. They are budget but they offer honesty and to be honest they sound really nice. I like the amps, never had a big issue with their head units.

  • @joshuacobb1810
    @joshuacobb1810 Před 4 lety +4

    I really felt that comment about most people just needing some low end to their music. Years ago my biggest setup was four 15 inch Kove Armageddon's on two Lanzar Optidrive 2000.1D amps in a 92 four door s10 blazer. Still miss that full body massage on the way home from work somedays.
    Now I've got a oldish Rockford Fosgate punch HX2 10 in a ported box with a mid 00's Rockford Fosgate p300.1 amp in a 04 F150 extended cab. With the right song I can rattle the back glass and shake all the mirrors, but just having a full soundstage with out overpowering the mids and highs is all I need anymore. I still really admire the big builds though. Everytime I pass someone and their system is shaking my truck more than my own stereo is, I always smile and think "a decade or so ago that was me" lol.

    • @ethanlinkous5620
      @ethanlinkous5620 Před 4 lety +1

      Joshua Cobb did you get a custom box for your extended cab to make the back seats useable or just buy a prebuilt?

    • @joshuacobb1810
      @joshuacobb1810 Před 4 lety

      @@ethanlinkous5620 My truck had a middle jump seat with a fold down center console between the driver and passenger seats. I removed the jump seat/console and the box fit between the front seats. Have enough room for two cupholders in the floor between the box and the 4wd shifter, and sits almost flush with the back of the front seats so it doesn't affect rear passengers foot space anymore than the jump seat did.
      I believe the box is a prefab. I got lucky and found the box (deminsions and volume/cf was perfect for my needs and sub) with a kicker comp and phenoix gold amp on craigslist. Bought the set up and sold the sub and amp for what I paid for all three items.

    Picked one of these up for my single cab 92 Toyota pickup as it was the only box I could find that would fit behind the seat. It does a great job of filling the cab with bass. When it fails I plan on loading the box with a better sub and an amp but for now it does what I need it to do. All I had were two four inch speakers under the dash and they weren't cutting it.

    I had this exact sub and to be honest its a perfect little addition to any car stereo system if your just trying to add a little extra bass without spending hundredes or having to run tons of wires and cables. Its not built to shake the entire car but it does a decent job of increasing bass output. Its nice for what it is and im glad you agree you dont need a tousand dollar system to jam out. Most people hate on cheap audio systems like this saying its crap or that it doesnt sound good.

    Nice, I just saw this video. Eventhough I have watched many of your vids. Anyway, my Walmart had these with a clearance price of $35.00. My sub looks a bit different than this one in video. So I can only guess maybe clearing out old stock. So I bought two of these and installed both in my pickup. Sounds great to me, and have been running them for about 18 months with no problems.

    Years ago back in 2005/2006 I got a different model 10 inch dual powered 300watt sub for my ford probe gt. it was decent for a cheap setup or if you didnt want insane bass. I ended up upgrading it after a year to 2 alpine 10 inch 600watt subs.

    I got one last year off the shelf for 59 bucks. Works fine.. I also run 4 ) 6x9 powered by 1200 watt JL amp . The sub isnt going to rattle your windows off but if makes for a full dound dialed the input to 90% the crossover to 50% and base to 80 %.

    I put one of these in my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it has a 6 speaker system but no sub. Fits perfect in the spare tire well behind the back seat, completely hidden. Worked great for upgrading the stock system, that's all it's made for. And for that it works pretty well especially considering the price. I upgraded the 6 factory speakers with Rockford Fosgate and they are run from the factory Infinity amp and this is run straight from the head unit using RCA converters.

    Honestly Dereck, I know that you know this, and I know that everyone here that is bass initiated knows this as well, but when it comes to subs and amps, you obviously get what you pay for. You can have a really nice set of brand name subs, with an awesome box, and a crappy amp with an 8 or 10 gauge wiring kit from Walmart, and you fire it up to hear distortion and a really unimpressive sounding system. If all you're looking for is to add depth to your music, then you don't need much, but if you want to really feel it then you need something that's well planned out and spend close to a grand to get something entry level that sounds decent.

    Not bad on the amplifier at all. It uses the big output transistors. TO247 package I believe not the standard size used in a/b amps normally. Very impressed. That am "more than likely" is 2 ohm stable. I've rebuilt anps that aren't even built that well that are fine at 2 ohms. The power supply looks ok and so does the outout stage. The input terminalsis where I get a bit leery but the amp itself is good for 2 ohms now than likely.

    I am now halfway curious what kind of SPL gains could be made by just building a better box while retaining same amp/sub. The person who buys one of these probably doesn't have $300+ laying around for a "name brand" bass setup, but probably has $30 in their pocket for a sheet of MDF...only trade-off I can see is losing trunk space.

      Ok installed it and man its loud in a standard cab ranger. Won't be winning any competitions of course but it fills out the lows perfectly after tuning and even hard rap has the proper boom. Plus not being heard around the block when you crank it up has its own perks if you want to keep the peace. My collection of outlaw country like willie waylon and the boys all have those deep bass guitar tracks and they rattle the mirrors. For anyone wanting to put some affordable bump in the trunk this is certainly a more than viable option and works for all music types just not rap and other hard boomy music.
