Our Product Research Team
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features
Marine Grade Construction: The
MBTA10100 tube features a 10" waterproof woofer. The enclosure is certified
salt fog and UV resistant for 5 years and the included mounting hardware is
stainless steel.
Amplifier:
The 10" woofer is powered by a built-in 100-watt RMS amplifier.
Moisture Resistant Enclosure: The
enclosure is moisture, UV, and salt fog resistant for reliable operation in all
conditions.
Low-pass Crossover: This unit
has a low-pass filter at 85Hz with a slope of 18dB/octave.
Subsonic Filter:
The subsonic filter, set at 35Hz, prevents really low frequencies from being
amplified. This allows the amplifier to run more efficiently with increased
power output.
Remote Level Control: Using
an optional wired remote (item # 204RBCM100) you can control the bass output level of the
subwoofer from a remote location.
Balanced Input Circuitry: Balanced
low-level and high-level input circuitry is used for improved noise
reduction.
Controls
Back Panel:
- Level Control: rotary
control that allows you to adjust the level of the subwoofer
-
Input Phase Switch: reverses
the phase of the subwoofer
-
Power LED:
if power, ground and remote are connected properly, the LED will illuminate
in green, red indicates the protection mode
Connections

Installation
Mounting Method:
There are 2 mounting bases that are made to be attached to your vehicle or boat
with the provided 1" stainless steel self-tapping screws. Once the mounting
bases are installed, the tube can be placed on the bases and secured with the
included mounting straps. For best results, the tube should be mounted facing
into a corner, and there should be 2 to 4 inches between the woofer and the
corner into which it is pointing.
Required
Accessories:
- Power
Wire: the 16-gauge power lead is only 11.25"
long, so additional wire is usually required to extend it to the battery
- Speaker
Wire: required only when using the
high-level inputs
- RCA
Patch Cord: required only when using
the low-level inputs
- Remote
Turn-on Wire: required when not using
the automatic turn-on circuit
