Active subwoofer ESX Q208A
ESX QUANTUM Q208A is a compact active subwoofer designed for installation under a vehicle seat, where it delivers surprisingly powerful bass while demanding minimal space. Compared to the previous generation, it offers 50% more power from the built-in Class A/B amplifier, which now reaches 150 W RMS. Thanks to its compact construction, it fits easily under the seats of most cars and is an ideal solution for vehicles that lack space for a conventional trunk-mounted subwoofer. A notable innovation is the pair of side passive radiators that support the main driver especially in reproducing deep frequencies. The increased displaced air delivers fuller and more dynamic bass without increasing the enclosure size. The robust aluminum housing ensures high rigidity, effective amplifier cooling and an elegant appearance. The subwoofer is equipped with high-level and RCA inputs, automatic turn-on function and a wired remote bass level control. With adjustable low-pass filter, phase switch and Bass Boost control, the sound can be easily tailored to the acoustics of the specific vehicle and personal preferences.

| The diameter of the subwoofer usedThe diameter of the subwoofer that is installed in the active box. | 8\" (200 mm) |
| RMS power of the amplifier | 150 W |
| Energy class of the amplifierAmplifiers are divided into two basic classes: analog and digital . Analog amplifiers (A/B) have higher consumption requirements, but usually have a more natural sound. Digital amplifiers (D) have significantly lower consumption and higher efficiency, but the sound may not be as faithful as with classic analog amplifiers. | AB |
| Low-pass filter (LPF) | 50 – 150 Hz |
| Bass boost functionBass boost or bass enhancement. With this function, the bass itself can be emphasized, at a high level of bass boost, the speakers and the subwoofer can distort a lot and the sound will be worse than better. We therefore recommend using the "bass boost" function wisely. | 0 – 18 dB |
| Phase rotation optionPhase shift is a linear electronic oscillator that produces a sinusoidal output. It consists of an inverting part of the amplifier such as a transistor. The feedback network "shifts" the phase at the output of the amplifier by 180 degrees to the oscillation frequency and gives positive feedback. The Phase shift filter produces a phase shift that increases with increasing frequency. This is usually used when the subwoofer sub-assembly is out with the magnet, or when two amplifiers are connected externally. Phase Shift is also used with active speaker wiring, where the time shift of the speakers is set. The point is that the subwoofer does not play the bass late, and for this reason better amplifiers offer this phase reversal option. | 0° / 180° |
| Other | Yes |
| High level inputThe high-level input on the active subwoofer enables connection directly to the speakers in the car without purchasing an external high/low converter. Use in the case of mounting an active subwoofer on the original car radio. | Yes |
| Automatic on and offThis function will facilitate your installation and solve the problem of finding a remote signal, which is sometimes a problem with original car radios. The active subwoofer with the Auto sense function can recognize that the equipment in the car is active and turn itself on. A useful and practical feature. | Yes |
| Remote control included in the packageSome models of active subwoofers also have wired remote controls in the package, which on the one hand connect to the active box, and on the other hand you have a potentiometer that you can place anywhere in the cabin. A common place to place the remote control is under the steering wheel. The advantage is the regulation of power, and therefore volume, depending on driving conditions and the mood of the crew in the car. | Yes |
| Loudspeaker type | Closed |
| What is the baffle made of?Active subwoofers can be made of MDF board, hardened plastic, sheet metal, aluminum or a combination of different materials. | Aluminum |
| Active subwoofer dimensions | 249 x 78 x 346 mm |
