PS-AWB101 Single 10″ Amplified Bass Enclosure
At Safe and Sound — Essex’s car audio specialists with over 30 years of experience — we stock only products that genuinely deliver. The PowerBass PS-AWB101 is a firm favourite: a single, self-contained solution that transforms your in-car sound without the complexity of a full custom build.
What Is the PS-AWB101?
The PowerBass PS-AWB101 is a fully amplified 10″ bass reflex subwoofer enclosure — woofer, amplifier, and ported housing all combined into one ready-to-install unit. There’s no need to source a separate amplifier or build a custom box. PowerBass engineer the woofer specifically around the enclosure (not the other way around), which results in deeper, tighter bass and better power handling than most comparable all-in-one systems.
At 175 watts RMS, driven by a high-efficiency Class A/B amplifier with a PWM MOSFET power supply, this is a serious step up from factory audio — without the serious price tag.
Simple Connectivity — Works with Factory or Aftermarket Setups
One of the most common concerns with car audio upgrades is compatibility. The PS-AWB101 removes that obstacle. It accepts both high-level (speaker) inputs and low-level (RCA) inputs, so whether you’re keeping your factory head unit or running an aftermarket stereo, you’re covered. The auto turn-on function via high-level input means no additional remote wire is required — connect, set your levels, and you’re done.
Full Sound Control at Your Fingertips
The PS-AWB101 isn’t a set-and-forget box. It gives you precise control over how your bass sounds and behaves:
- Variable low-pass crossover — adjustable from 50Hz to 200Hz so only bass frequencies are sent to the sub
- Variable 12dB bass boost EQ at 45Hz — dial in the exact level of punch you want
- Wired remote gain control — adjust output level from the driver’s seat without reaching into the boot
- Soft delay turn-on/off circuit — protects your speakers from sudden power surges
Built to Handle Real-World Driving
The PS-AWB101 is housed in a computer-optimised bass reflex enclosure with a durable aircraft-grade vinyl finish — designed to cope with daily vibration, temperature changes, and the general demands of in-car life. A comprehensive set of built-in protection circuits means your investment is well looked after.
