The Mercury MRX168A from Hifonics is an 8-inch (20cm) active enclosure subwoofer. It features a special aluminum membrane in an oval shape that withstands extreme pressures. The powered Class AB amplifier delivers 100 watts RMS power and supports versatile sound adjustments. This includes a low-pass filter from 50-150 Hz, a subsonic filter at 30 Hz, and a phase switch (0°/180°). Inputs are available via RCA and high-level inputs, with an auto turn-on feature. The illuminated bass remote makes control easier. With compact dimensions of 260x74x195 mm, it is ideal for various installation locations, especially under car seats.
The Mercury MRX168A has a phase switch that can be toggled between 0° and 180°. This function allows the phase of the subwoofer to be adjusted to the phase position of the other speakers in the vehicle. By correctly setting the phase switch, the interaction with other speakers can be optimized, creating a coherent soundstage. If the phase is set incorrectly, it can lead to cancellations in the bass range. In practice, if the bass sounds weak at certain frequencies, a phase change is worth trying to improve sound quality.
The low-pass filter of the Mercury MRX168A is adjustable between 50 and 150 Hz. This allows you to set the frequency at which the subwoofer filters out the upper frequencies. This way, you can ensure that only the bass range is reproduced and the sound transitions seamlessly into the midrange or tweeters of the existing audio system. This adaptability allows you to optimally adjust the bass to your personal listening preferences and the acoustic conditions in the vehicle.
The aluminum membrane of the Mercury MRX168A is designed in a unique oval shape to handle high pressures without distortion or damage. Thanks to the rigidity of the material, the subwoofer achieves precise and clean bass reproduction. Its resistance to deformation ensures that this membrane provides long-lasting and powerful bass performance, ideal for use in compact, confined spaces such as under car seats. The choice of material contributes to sound quality by minimizing resonances and ensuring a consistent response across the frequency range.
The Mercury MRX168A features a bass boost of 0 to 12 dB at 50 Hz. This control allows for an additional enhancement of the bass frequencies, which is particularly helpful in vehicles with challenging acoustic conditions. The bass boost ensures that the lowest frequencies sound strong and voluminous, even when the environment has loud background noise. For example, an enthusiastic music lover can use the bass boost to enhance the low-frequency range while driving fast on the highway and still achieve clear and powerful bass reproduction.
Thanks to its compact dimensions of 260x74x195 mm, the Mercury MRX168A can be installed in many types of vehicles, especially under car seats. This universal sizing allows for seamless integration without significantly affecting the interior space. Since specific car brands or models are not mentioned in the description, it is important to check the measurements in advance against the available space in your vehicle. This ensures a precise fit and optimal sound performance without disturbances or vibrations due to insufficient space.
The Mercury MRX168A uses Auto-Turn-On via High Level Inputs, which means it automatically turns on when an audio signal is detected. This feature greatly simplifies the installation process, as no separate remote control line is required. With correct wiring to the factory speakers, the subwoofer activates itself without further user intervention, making operation easier. This function is particularly useful for seamless upgrades in systems that want to maintain the factory look while significantly improving audio quality.
The RCA inputs of the Mercury MRX168A allow for a direct connection to the preamplifier output of a car radio or a separate audio system. These inputs provide a clean signal transmission that ensures high sound quality and less interference. In addition to improving sound quality, the RCA inputs facilitate integration into existing stereo arrangements or more complex audio systems that include separate amplifiers and speakers. Thus, the RCA inputs promote the versatility of the system and enable flexible configuration options within the vehicle audio system.
The subsonic filter of the Mercury MRX168A is set to 30 Hz. This filter limits the reproduction of extremely low frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear and could burden the system. By blocking excessive low frequencies, it protects the subwoofer from overload and prevents distortions that can occur in these inaudible frequency ranges. This improves electrical efficiency while also leading to cleaner bass reproduction by amplifying only the desired, audible bass frequencies.
The installation of the Mercury MRX168A is quite simple due to its compact dimensions of 260x74x195 mm. It is specifically designed for placement under car seats. The dimensions allow for flexible positioning, with sufficient ventilation for the subwoofer being important to ensure optimal performance. Connection is made via the RCA or high-level inputs, with the latter activating an auto-turn-on mechanism. A backlit bass remote facilitates fine-tuning after installation. It is advisable to check the dimensions of the available space and the accessibility of the connections before installation.

Your advantages with Masori

Buy Hifonics Mercury MRX168A active subwoofer online – 8 aluminum cone with 100 watts RMS

The Hifonics Mercury MRX168A active subwoofer offers an impressive sound experience. The heart of this model is the robust 8 aluminum cone, designed in an oval format (15 x 20 cm). The material is designed to withstand extreme pressure loads. The Class AB amplifier delivers 100 watts RMS and 200 watts maximum power. Combining this setup with the lowpass filter adjustable between 50-150 Hz, you get a subwoofer that sounds deep and precise, perfect for any style of music. The Masori Lowest Price Guarantee ensures that you always get this model at the best price.

Powerful sound with Class AB amplifier – 100 watts RMS power

The integrated Class AB amplifier gives the Mercury MRX168A its power. With 100 watts RMS, it ensures dynamic reproduction of the lowest frequencies. This amplifier type is known for its efficient power delivery. The difference would be noticeable if the amplifier offered less power: the richness and presence of the sound would be drastically reduced. Furthermore, with a maximum power handling of 200 watts, the amplifier offers sufficient reserves for powerful peaks, which intensifies the sound experience.

Frequency adjustment with lowpass filter – 50-150 Hz

The lowpass filter of the Hifonics subwoofer can be continuously adjusted from 50 to 150 Hz. This adaptability allows you to optimally tune the sound to your vehicle and your personal preferences. A narrower filter range would limit versatility and make the sound less customizable. The upper limit of 150 Hz allows for the integration of higher bass frequencies into the sound, which is crucial for a harmonious transition to the midrange and tweeters.

Effective subsonic filter – protection and precision at 30 Hz

With a subsonic filter at 30 Hz, the subwoofer prevents unwanted low-frequency frequencies that could degrade the sound and burden the speaker with unnecessary excursion. The filter protects the diaphragm and optimizes energy efficiency. Setting the filter higher could result in the loss of important bass information. Setting it lower, however, could overstress the diaphragm. The set value of 30 Hz is ideal for ensuring precise and distortion-free bass.

Phase switch 0°/180° for perfect sound adjustment

The phase switch offers the option to change the phase between 0° and 180°. This is crucial for solving phase problems that arise when the subwoofer is installed in different positions. Changing the phase can make the bass clearer and more powerful, especially in rooms with complex acoustics. Without this switch, the subwoofer and the front speakers could cancel each other out, weakening the bass performance.

Easy installation and flexibility – dimensions 260x74x195 mm

The compact dimensions of 260 x 74 x 195 mm make the Mercury MRX168A ideal for tight installation spaces, such as under car seats. This size adaptability facilitates integration into various vehicle models. Larger dimensions would often make installation under standard seats impossible. This compactness also allows the subwoofer to be quickly removed and repositioned at any time without compromising its acoustic performance.

Connectivity and automatic function with RCA inputs

The Mercury MRX168A from Hifonics is equipped with RCA inputs, allowing easy connection to a wide variety of audio sources. The auto-turn-on function via high-level inputs eliminates the need for manual power-on—a convenience that's particularly beneficial for older vehicle systems. Without this feature, you would have to manually activate the amplifier each time, which compromises usability.

Includes illuminated bass remote for easy control

The included bass remote allows you to conveniently adjust the bass level without leaving the driver's seat. The remote's illumination provides a clear view of the controls even in dark environments. A less well-thought-out feature could be distracting and cause complications while driving. This contributes significantly to safety and ease of use.
