Buy affordable passive enclosure subwoofer bass boxes online at the Carhifi online shop Masori
If you're looking for powerful passive enclosure subwoofers for your car, Masori offers a wide range of high-performance designs and sizes. Whether you want to equip your VW with deeper bass or give your BMW sedan more low-end, passive enclosure subwoofers can be individually combined with external amplifiers, providing professional Carhifi upgrades. With impedance values from 1 to 4 ohms, power handling from 300 to 1200 watts RMS, and frequency ranges starting at 20 Hz, these bass speakers offer maximum flexibility.
Comprehensive information on performance data and specifications
A passive enclosure subwoofer is distinguished by its robust construction, which ensures that the subwoofer chassis operates precisely and powerfully at the same time. For an optimal sound image, the following key figures are particularly important:
- RMS power: Often between 300 and 1000 watts for consistent bass power
- Maximum sound pressure level (SPL): Often over 120 dB, depending on the model
- Sensitivity: Typical values between 85 dB and 93 dB
- Impedance: 1, 2, or 4 ohms for flexible amplifier matching
- Frequency range: Between 20 Hz and 200 Hz for clear deep bass reproduction
Another technical parameter is the so-called T/S parameters (Thiele-Small), which provide information about the behavior of the diaphragm in the enclosure. For example, the resonance frequency (Fs) is set to values below 40 Hz for punchy deep bass. Also important is the linearity factor (Xmax), which defines the excursion of the subwoofer diaphragm in millimeters. To minimize distortion, many manufacturers such as Audio System or Audison use high-quality voice coils with a diameter of 2" or more.
Overview of common product lines in our table
| Brand | Sizes (inches) | RMS power | Impedance | Sensitivity (dB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audio System | 8", 10", 12" | 300–1000 W | 2–4 Ohm | 85–92 dB |
| Audison | 8", 10", 12" | 400–800 W | 1–4 Ohm | 87–93 dB |
| Rockford Fosgate | 10", 12" | 500–1200 W | 2–4 Ohm | 89–91 dB |
Each of these series offers a variety of options to optimize your Carhifi experience. While small 8" subwoofers are often ideal for an Audi A3 or a SEAT Ibiza, 12" versions provide even more depth in spacious vehicles like the Opel Insignia or Mercedes E-Class. All options are available in the Carhifi online shop Masori, where you can perfectly match your existing amplifier thanks to flexible impedance variations.
Installation tips for various vehicle types
For a smooth installation, it is advisable to precisely measure the required installation space in the vehicle beforehand. Deep installation locations in the trunk or under the double floor are suitable to reduce resonances. In BMW and Audi models, a factory cutout for a subwoofer is sometimes already provided. Plug & Play adapters additionally facilitate connection without modification to the onboard electronics. Our general tips:
- High-quality cable set (e.g., 20 mm² cross-section) for stable power supply
- Clean ground connection to avoid voltage drops
- Line-out converter if the car radio does not have RCA outputs
- Correct cutting and damping of the enclosure against vibrations
If you prefer professional installation on site, you can use our Installation service in Frankfurt Oder. Here, passive enclosure subwoofers are professionally installed and perfectly matched to the respective audio system. If you have questions about specific components, our expert support is happy to help. On request, our AI chatbot also checks compatibility with your vehicle.
Technical accessories for optimal bass performance
For a passive enclosure subwoofer to unleash its full potential, the right sound accessories are crucial. The following components enable maximum performance and precision:
- External amplifiers: Class-D amplifiers with variable low-pass filters between 40 Hz and 120 Hz. RMS output powers up to 2000 watts are not uncommon.
- Crossovers and DSPs: So-called digital sound processors enable fine-tuning of the frequency band to avoid droning.
- Acoustic damping materials: Reduce interference and ambient noise in the vehicle body.
- Wiring: Stable RCA cables and power cable sets matched to the subwoofer's power requirements.
Especially with powerful passive enclosure subwoofers with dual 2-ohm voice coils, it makes sense to know the wiring scheme exactly to bridge the amplifier correctly. Higher cone excursions often come with additional ventilation in the form of pole core holes, which support cooling of the voice coil. These constructions are commonly found in Rockford Fosgate and Audison models.
Why passive enclosure subwoofers are so popular
Many car audio enthusiasts prefer loaded but externally amplified subwoofer enclosures because they provide optimal and customizable sound. Thanks to high flexibility, the following aspects can be individually adjusted:
- Tuning frequency in the enclosure – whether sealed or bass reflex
- Amplifier power through free choice of amplifier models
- Subsequent upgrades without complete replacement
Especially in sporty vehicles like a Seat Cupra or a Mercedes-AMG, integrating a powerful subwoofer is essential to ensure punchy deep bass and low distortion. The coordinated interplay of car audio accessories, installation environment, and subwoofer chassis is important. This creates a homogeneous bass soundscape that fills the entire vehicle interior.
Get the right equipment directly from Masori
In the Carhifi online shop Masori, we offer a wide selection of subwoofer enclosure solutions, including models with polypropylene cones, Kevlar reinforcements, or aluminum voice coil cores. Optimized magnet arrangements allow for high output levels even in small boxes, which is especially important for 8" or 10" versions. A brief overview:
- Sealed enclosures for precise bass impulses
- Ported systems to maximize sound pressure
- Bandpass constructions with tuned frequency channel
Especially with brands like Audio System Italy, the selection is wide-ranging: from compact mini subwoofers for city cars to powerful 12-inch models for mid-range and premium vehicles from BMW, Audi, or Opel. With plug & play adapters, the signal from the factory system can be tapped, which significantly simplifies the retrofit process.

Massive 4 inch voice coil and ton of power handling, great venting around voice coil, also this vega series has black voice coils. Price/value ratio is very high with vega series.
What a Minimonster, 18Liter ported box,tuned to 32hz and plays very loud and even good on lows. Even when i'm underpowering and only giving 350-400watts max. I really love this 6,5 monster, also the aluminium basket is very strong and solid and has great venting for the voice coil. Having rubber surround and carbon fiber cone just makes this even more indestructible

👌 superr
Super Subwoofer mit extrem tiefem Bass. Die Kabel sind dick und hochwertig verarbeitet. Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden. Absolut empfehlenswert.
Un sacré caisson de basses , j'ai eu un 46 cm killer 454 de l'époque année 90 , qui tapait vraiment bien , mais ce tube est bien plus fort et plus ample, toutes les basses passent sans problème, avec une télécommande à réglage multiples taramps eq bass , et un ampli Machete de masori , le couple est parfait, personnellement j'en ai deux tubes et ça donne énormément, avec l'ampli 2 x 530 en 4 ohms . Parfois le plus simple est bien meilleur et plus durable .
Hallo. Sehr freundlicher Kundenservice und schnelle Auftragsabwicklung. Der Lautsprecher ist brandneu und unbenutzt. Ich habe ihn vor einiger Zeit gekauft, aber erst kürzlich das Gehäuse fertiggestellt. Die Parameter entsprechen den Herstellerangaben: 42,5 Liter Nettovolumen, abgestimmt auf 32 Hz und 21 mm starkes Sperrholz. Ich hatte noch nie einen 10-Zoll-Lautsprecher und wusste nicht, was mich erwartet, aber das Ergebnis hat meine kühnsten Erwartungen übertroffen. Der Bass aus einem so kleinen Lautsprecher in einem so kleinen Gehäuse ist einfach unglaublich. Um den X-10 zu kaufen, habe ich meinen DD 712f in einem 70-Liter-Gehäuse verkauft, und der war ein Volltreffer. Der Sundown ist in jeder Hinsicht besser. Ich kann diesen Lautsprecher und den Händler, bei dem ich ihn gekauft habe, wärmstens empfehlen. Beste Grüße.
Est arrivé à la maison très rapidement 👌🏽
Geht echt gut und leicht zum einstellen
