Blaupunkt

Our take on the Blaupunkt THb 200A

Blaupunkt's compact THb 200A amplified subwoofer mounts just about anywhere, so you can add great-sounding bass to your vehicle without giving up precious trunk space. The slim, die-cast aluminum cabinet contains a 70-watt RMS amplifier and an 8" subwoofer for clean, low-frequency reproduction that enhances any style of music.

You don't have to worry about turning the sub on and off — just feed it some music and it'll respond, and it shuts off one minute after the tunes stop. Preamp- and speaker-level inputs provide easy connection to nearly any stereo system, and this handy little thumper comes with all the mounting accessories you'll need for installation.

Highlights:

  • compact powered subwoofer
  • 8" woofer with polypropylene cone
  • 70 watts RMS amplifier (peak power: 140 watts)
  • variable low-pass filter (40-120 Hz)
  • phase switch control (0-180°)
  • frequency response: 30-120 Hz
  • preamp- and speaker-level inputs
  • 9.8' power cable included
  • dimensions: 14"W x 3-3/8"H x 8-15/16"D
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Note: A fuse should be wired in-line at the battery for safe installation. You'll also need an RCA cable if you're planning to use the sub's preamp inputs.

Perfect for a Jeep!

Jeeps aren't exactly known for having a lot of extra space, so when the factory sub went out in my 2002 Wrangler I wanted to replace it with something that would offer decent bass but not take up the whole back seat. I decided on the THb 200A and installed it under the driver's seat. The sound is excellent and really fills out my music. It's not going to rattle the windows but it is powerful enough to let you know it's there. I have no complaints at all.

1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I researched several different subs and decided this was the best choice. I was not disappointed. This sub has excellent bass for it's size. I am thoroughly impressed. Right now the gain is adjusted to a little below half and it sounds great. Installation was easy. I placed the sub behind the rear seat in the trunk.

I have a wrangler 2002, I replaced all four speakers, but was not getting the bass. The Blaupunkt THb 200A turned out to be just the thing. It's is not like a teens dual 12's and 300 watt amp, but it is just right for what I was looking for. Easy to install and sounds great.

A little bottom for the Tundra...

Written By WAYNE, Tucson, AZ on Thursday, August 07, 2008

Crutchfield Customer Review

I needed some better bass response in my Tundra Access Cab, and the THb200 does that beautifully. I listen to jazz, rock, classical, big beat and the Blaupunkt handles it all. As you've read already, its not a pair of 12" pounders, but for a contained unit that easily installed under the passenger seat (and is a total sleeper), it sounds great. It took some time to adjust the high and low pass filters in my HU to get the Sub Woof handling the appropriate lows, and my full range door speakers handling the rest, but the effort was well worth the rich balanced sound. I thought that the lack of a remote would be a problem, but it turns out that once you match the SW settings to your HU, you can pretty much control everything you need from the HU. I turned the volume up to as high a level as I generally listen to and then got out and stood next to the vehicle and was surprised that I could hardly hear the bass. For me, that's perfect.

After alot of research, I narrowed it down to the Blaupunkt unit because it would fit under the passenger seat of my 1996 suburban I just got. How can a vehical come with 8 factory speakers and no base? Don't know but they managed it. I was really hopeing this small unit was going to give the huge interior enough bass, and I was not dissapointed. The install took me 2 1/2 hours, and when I turned it on I was amazed. This unit delivers the low sounds that was needed and the right amount of thump when required. Will it knock your dental fillings out and turn your insides to jello like my daughters setup?, no, but man does it produce some solid base with the right amount of thump. Thanks again Crutchfield for a quality product.

The sports car sub solution!

Written By Michael, Connecticut on Thursday, June 26, 2008
 
As an auto enthusiast, sports-car owner, and amature autocrosser, mobile audio is not really my thing. However, I must admit that I have spent money that could have gone into go-fast parts on "luxuries" like a fancy audio system, at least for my daily driver that is. Problem is, my "daily driver" is a Porsche 944 that's not exactly silent inside at highway speeds, and my poor un-amped speakers just couldn't output the lows I wanted under these conditions. The obvious solution was a subwoofer, but we purists frown upon those ugly, bulky, heavy, obnoxious things that all the import-tuner boys are running around with these days. I was hesitant, to say the least.

Enter the Blaupunkt THb 200A: It's pre-amped simplicity and ultra-slim size made it seem a bit more friendly for my application. I was able to pull my (heavy!) spare tire and mount this unit in the vacant cavity in the rear of the car. To my surprise, this little thing was actually much lighter than the spare it replaced, meaning I actually saved weight! Furthermore, having it mounted in that big cavity gives it a little extra volume, though I can't say it needs it. This thing is an acoustical wonder! It puts out impressive bass for such a small package, and adds much needed depth to every piece in the wide variety of music on my HU - From Jazz to Techno, this little unit does it all, but without the bulk and obnoxious volume of some other subs...

Its amazing Blaupunkt can offer a great package like this for this price. I recently had this unit installed in my 2007 Pathfinder under the drivers seat. This is not a unit for the kids who want to impress their friends with loud bone shaking bass, but if you want clear, tight bass that fills in where your door speakers leave off then this is the one. Unit is easy to install, package comes with everything except in line fuse and RCAs. I looked around and found some for a few bucks off, but I remembered that crutchfield will stand behind their products with no hassle with great service and advice. Try calling another seller for help troubleshooting. Buy from Crutchfield they are a top notch retailer.

incredible

Written By dave, phoenix, az on Friday, July 04, 2008
 
is it as good as two 12's in your trunk? no, but thats an unreasonable expectation. i have a regular cab, small tacoma and there is NO room for any components. i bought this because its the smallest thing out there, just hoping it would fill in the lows for me and it does that and more. i am impressed at how low this 8 will respond and how hard will hit. if youre only willing or able to give up as much space as a shoebox only half as tall then you couldnt ask for better performance. i've been building systems as a hobby for over 15 years and for the price, size and sound, it doesnt get much better.

Quality product

Written By Eric, Minneapolis, MN on Monday, October 20, 2008
 
I was cautious at first when I considered this sub, as it was on the smaller end of what I was looking at, but I was very surprised when I plugged it in and listened to it for the first time. The enclosure is made entirely of metal, so it won't rattle or shake as a plastic enclosure would. Also, I have it stashed in a vented compartment in the back of a wagon type vehicle, and despite its size, it fills the entire vehicle. This isn't the sub for you if you want to rattle your trunk, but it will give you all the bass you need, and more. Also, when I say that it won't "rattle your trunk", that's all I mean - you can defiantly hear the sub from outside, but you might be disappointed if your goal is to impress people _outside_ the car. I had also read about problems with the auto-off feature, but I have not had any issues with this. When you turn the car off, it takes about 30 seconds for the sub to go, then it's out.

The type of bass you get from your component subwoofer doesn't depend on the woofer alone. You'll need a strong, tightly constructed enclosure for optimum subwoofer performance.
