Uno Minda has introduced the 10-inch active under-seat subwoofer. It is meant for those people who wish to increase the depth of their sound but lack space in the boot. The price for it starts from Rs 13,999. For most of the car owners, installing a subwoofer would mean sacrificing their luggage capacity. It becomes even more of a problem when talking about the installation of a subwoofer in the CNG cars since here the boot will get partially occupied by the cylinder.

What is Unique About It?

This subwoofer is specially designed to be installed under the front passenger seat instead of being placed in the boot.

  • Active subwoofer design with a diameter of 10 inches
  • Power handling capacity of 200W RMS
  • Frequency range of 20Hz to 150Hz
  • Signal-to-noise ratio higher than 90dB
  • Variable low-pass crossover setting that goes from 50Hz to 150Hz
  • Bass booster with a range of 0dB to 12dB
  • 20Hz subsonic filter
  • Independent control for bass adjustment on the go

It is important to have variable control because people have different tastes when it comes to bass. Some like clear, balanced bass; others like strong bass when driving.

Built For Everyday Cars

Uno Minda claims the subwoofer targets passenger cars. More specifically car owners who desire an audio system upgrade, without having to go through an elaborate process of installation. This is because being an active subwoofer, it comes with its own amplifiers and there is no need for any additional components.

It comes with:

  • The 10-inch active subwoofer under seat
  • Bass controller
  • Bass controller connecting wire
  • Mounting clamps
  • Manual
  • Warranty card

Anand Kumar, Business Head, Uno Minda Aftermarket, said, “Car owners looking to upgrade their audio systems often have to balance enhanced bass performance with the practical space available inside their vehicles. Our new 10-inch Active Under-Seat Subwoofer addresses this requirement with a compact installation format, 200W RMS power and adjustable bass controls. Its under-seat installation gives car owners a convenient way to enhance their in-car audio experience without using up additional space inside the vehicle.

The subwoofer features a 20Hz–150Hz frequency response for low-frequency sound reproduction and a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of more than 90dB. Its adjustable Low Pass Filter, ranging from 50Hz to 150Hz, allows users to fine-tune the bass output according to their listening preferences. The product also comes with an adjustable Bass Boost of 0dB to 12dB and a 20Hz Subsonic Filter, offering greater control over bass performance. A dedicated bass controller further enables convenient adjustment of bass levels while driving.

Designed for passenger cars, the package includes the 10-inch active under-seat subwoofer, bass controller, bass controller connector wire, mounting clamps, user manual, and warranty card. Its compact form factor and under-seat installation make it a practical option for car owners seeking to upgrade their in-car audio systems while retaining boot space for everyday requirements.”

Why Does It Interest Indian Car Owners?

Indian car consumers usually place great emphasis on the practical aspects of their choice. Cargo space is utilized for packing luggage, grocery shopping, office items, etc., and the owners of CNG cars experience even tougher restrictions. An under-seat subwoofer would be an optimal solution for those seeking to upgrade their car audio system without sacrificing their cargo space.

It would also nicely complement Uno Minda's aftermarket range of products including headlights, batteries, horns, switches, sensors, alloy wheels, seats, and accessories. Uno Minda states that the number of its aftermarket product categories exceeds 30 and includes two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger cars, commercial vehicles, tractors, and off-road vehicles.

ELCTRIK Speaks

The subwoofer designed by Uno Minda can fit below the seat. In a 10-inch form seems like an upgrade worth making to get improved sound quality for drivers who would like to have a richer sound experience without compromising on boot space. The 200W RMS and ability to adjust bass level make the subwoofer suitable for common people, especially those who drive CNG cars where there is a limitation of boot space. Despite the price tag of ₹13,999, it seems like an ideal choice
