Overview

by Crutchfield's

Make room for bass

As modern vehicles become smaller, Sound Ordnance has looked for more ways to put great bass into your space at a price that'll fit your budget. Their B-10AS truck-style powered sub gives you an all-in-one bass solution that's a little less than 7" deep. With 100 honest watts and an efficient 10" sub, you can count on the performance that has made Sound Ordnance's powered subs so popular.

Make room for bass

Tough construction

The truck-style design allows this compact enclosure to fit behind seats in a regular cab, or in many other spaces too cramped for a standard sub. The carpet-covered enclosure and mesh grille look sharp and protect the sub from damage.

Fine tune your sound

The amplifier features a gain control which lets you match the sub's output to the rest of your system, as well as bass EQ and crossover controls. The variable phase control allows you to get bass response from your system, while the "Power On" and "Protect" LED indicators show amplifier status. An optional wired remote is available to control the bass from the front seat.

Product Research

Features

Overview: The B-10AS amplified subwoofer features a 100-watt RMS (125-watts max) amp driving a 10" sub housed in a rugged, compact enclosure that's less than 7" deep.

Enclosure: The B-10AS features a durable, compact, truck-style enclosure that's designed to fit behind seats in regular cab trucks, or any other space that's too tight for a standard size subwoofer. The enclosure features attractive black felt covering along with a metal-mesh grill to help protect the subwoofer.

Wiring: Wiring for the subwoofer is done through an 8-pin Molex harness that includes connections for power, ground, and 2 female RCA jacks. Two Remote wires are included with bullet connectors on their ends. If connected together, the amp will power on automatically when it senses signal on the input wires. If connecting to an aftermarket radio, the Remote-In wire is connected to the remote output of the radio and the remaining wire is capped off. Two RCA to speaker wire adapters are also included for tying into factory systems without pre-amp outputs. The sub includes a 4-pin RJ-14 jack for use with an optional Remote Level control.

Wired Remote: An optional B8PT wired remote can be added to bring control of your subwoofer output level within easy reach.

Controls:

Gain: Rotary dial to set the amplifier gain control
Bass EQ: Bass boost; rotary knob; 0 to 12 dB @60Hz
Phase: Switches the phase; 0° to 180°
Crossover: Rotary dial adjusts the low pass crossover frequency; 60 to 200 Hz

Specifications:

Maximum Output Power: 125W
RMS Power: 100W
Frequency Response: 40Hz - 170Hz
Crossover Frequency: 60Hz - 200Hz
Bass EQ: 0 - 12dB @ 60Hz

Q&A

17 questions already asked

I currently have a B-8PTD and want to upgrade to the B-10AS, are the connections same or will I need to rewire?

[ Patrick Oct 24, 2022 ]

1 answer

The connections are the same. Technically the B-8PTD requires a thicker 10-gauge power wire whereas the B-10AS only requires a 12-gauge power wire. This shouldn't be an issue, though. I would recommend reaching out to our advisors via chat or phone at 1-800-324-9695 to explore other options we have for a subwoofer upgrade. The B-10AS and B-8PTD are actually quite close in terms of performance. We may want to look at a different solution for a noticeable upgrade.

[ ZACHARY Oct 24, 2022 ] Staff

Am I able to purchase a seperate wiring harness? Please advise. Thank you

[ Mark Aug 20, 2022 ]

1 answer

Greetings Mark, and thank you for your question. If the harness is the 8 pin power/input harness we do not sell those separately. The Sound Ordnance brand is a Crutchfield exclusive product line. We may be able to either order it, or get a replacement from another box. Please call tech support for assistance with this.

[ THOMAS Aug 20, 2022 ] Staff

Can you install this behind 2nd row of seats in a crew cab with the speaker facing to the back of the cab? If so, what's the sound impact? Seems like only way it will fit.

[ MATTHEW Feb 08, 2022 ]

1 answer

I had to modify my install. I installed this behind the back seat in a ford fusion with the speaker facing the seat. Sound was bad. I had to turn it around so the sub faced the open part of the trunk to really get the bass working. It's great now. I do not see how this will work behind a seat pointed at the exterior. I would think the sound would be limited. Very limited because of the lack of air available. I hope this helps and Best of Luck.

[ DUSTYN Feb 11, 2022 ]

Does this come with mounting hardware?

[ Mr Jafo Nov 02, 2021 ]

1 answer

NO it does not..we used strong Velcro strips to mount it down

[ JON Nov 03, 2021 ]

Does it need an amplifier?

[ Pete_ Aug 29, 2021 ]

The answer to your question is within the product description.

[ Kevin Michael Aug 29, 2021 ]

What Guage wire is the power and ground on the harness?

[ STRATTON Jul 12, 2021 ]

1 answer

10awg I believe

[ Christopher Jul 13, 2021 ]

Is the enclosure made of wood?

[ NICKOLAS May 18, 2021 ]

1 answer

Not sure because it already comes carpeted and we did not remove the speaker to look inside

[ JON Nov 03, 2021 ]

Can this unit be added to factory radio without preouts? ( Non_ Bose)

[ DaveK Apr 10, 2021 ]

4 answers

Yes. I tapped off of the rear speaker in a Focus RS to send the audio signal to the Sub.

[ Christopher Apr 10, 2021 ]

Yes. It taps into your speaker wires. The instructions are pretty good. It's 100 watts and doesn't demand lots of power. Fit it behind my back seat in a 2015 F150 crew cab, When set correctly it hits really good. No low pass filter or anything needed. Makes a huge difference in all types of music. Very happy with it.

[ ABRAHAM Apr 10, 2021 ]

Yes, I added it to my OEM system with wiretaps into the factory rear speakers.

[ Mark Apr 10, 2021 ]

Yes. Just have to use high pass and tie into rear speakers

[ ROBBIE Apr 10, 2021 ]

The the control/input panel is on the back/bottom . Won't this make it difficult to mount under the seat? It will bend the wires and put stress on the connections. Poor design. Can I return?

[ GREG Oct 13, 2020 ]

1 answer

We have not received any answers from other customers on your question. I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They should be able to help answer your question.

[ Thomas Nov 05, 2020 ] Staff

Is this a mono amp? When I hook up both RCAâ??s the Bass is there but low when I unplug one of the RCA cables the Bass returns and is very present. Are you only to use one One speaker line level in to this box?

[ Thomas Oct 21, 2020 ] Staff

[ GEORGE Apr 12, 2020 ]

does this come with a remote control for the remote level input?

[ eli Dec 30, 2019 ]

7 answers

No. All manual controls on the back of the sub.

[ Ryan Jan 10, 2020 ]

[ EDUARDO Jan 10, 2020 ]

It does not come with a remote control to adjust the bass. You can purchase this one which will work. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_777B8PTKNB/Sound-Ordnance-B8PT-Knob-Kit.html

[ Charles Jan 10, 2020 ]

It does not include one in the box but you can add the optional Sound Ordnance B8PT knob kit https://www.crutchfield.com/I-rET1c290/p_777B8PTKNB/Sound-Ordnance-B8PT-Knob-Kit.html

[ CASEY Jan 10, 2020 ] Staff

[ patrick Jan 10, 2020 ]

No, radio off/on/volume etc controls the sub. Been a while I think seperate line that follows r/l inputs .

[ BARRY Jan 10, 2020 ]

It does not.

[ JAMES Jan 10, 2020 ]

Does this need a wire installation kit?

[ DAVID Dec 11, 2019 ]

1 answer

Yes.

[ Ryan Dec 11, 2019 ]

Can you run two of these in parallel? Will these wire into a factory 2015 Chevy Silverado headunit?

[ Ryan Clay Jul 21, 2019 ]

1 answer

I'm not sure about running them parallel but I can't see a reason you couldn't. It should be no problem to wire into the factory head unit. I just wired one into a Ford Mustang factory system. The Chevy system shouldn't be any different.

[ Mark Jul 21, 2019 ]

I have a 2018 Silverado, I want to add more sound without getting too deep with installation, it's a lease main reason ?

[ BURT Jun 29, 2019 ]

1 answer

Afew wire connections and a bit of organizing for that lower end that your oem speakers don't produce.
