What's a component sub and why would I want one?

A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back.

Our take on the Directed Audio Xtreme 104SX

by Ken Nail

Want a sub that'll hit hard, play clean, and do it without taking up a lot of space? Directed Audio optimizes their Xtreme SX subs for small sealed or ported boxes, so they match your taste in bass without wasting space.

The 104SX 10" subwoofer features a sturdy Kevlar-reinforced paper cone that won't flex and distort your tunes, even during extreme bass production. The durable rubber surround allows plenty of movement and holds up to the unavoidable extremes of temperature and humidity in a car environment. A sharp-looking Xtreme logo graces the cone's dustcap, ready to inject a little style into your ride.

Highlights:

  • 10" 4-ohm subwoofer
  • Kevlar-reinforced paper cone with rubber surround
  • power range: 50-200 RMS watts (500 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 40-2500 Hz
  • sensitivity: 89.58 dB
  • mounting depth: 4-5/8"
  • sealed box volume: 0.40-1.25 cu. ft.
  • ported box volume: 0.75 cu. ft.
  • warranty: 2 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

It's decent

Written By Pete, Potter Valley, CA on Monday, July 17, 2006
 
I bought two of these with plans to mount them into the bottom of a coffee table I am building. It isn't yet complete.

Each subwoofer is mounted in a sealed .68 cubic foot box. I tested them with a 1978 Pioneer SX-1250 amplifier, with 200 watts RMS per channel. These subs sound good and add a lot of strong bass, but even in the small sealed boxes they can't handle half of the rated 200 watts. Perhaps if they were installed in a smaller box they could handle more power without bottoming out. Nevertheless, they do what they are supposed to do, are reasonably priced, and are well-made. But if you are looking for some serious thump, spend more money and get something a bit bigger.

What a surprise!

Written By Randy, Quakertown, PA on Monday, July 17, 2006
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
For the price, they sound as good or better than woofers normally in the $80-150 price range. Overall construction looks great, better than the photo on here makes them look. Sound quality is good for the price. Pretty efficient as the pair is being run off a low end Pioneer amp running 75-100W and it's as loud as we want to listen with some to spare. If you're looking at woofers under $200, this one is as good as any in that price range. I'd definetly buy these for $60/ea if I needed a decent working man's sub.
