Overview

The NVX QBSTA is a 300 watt, 11 inch subwoofer built into a spare tire mount enclosure, connected via RCA, despite being filed under TV and home theater. Its compact 4.72 by 14.17 by 4.72 inch build and 10.52 pound weight point to a vehicle audio installation rather than a living-room subwoofer.

The spare tire mounting design and RCA input are hallmarks of car audio subwoofers built to fit inside a truck or SUV's spare tire well, saving cargo space compared to a standard box enclosure. That places this product in vehicle audio rather than the home theater grouping it is listed under here, and buyers shopping for a living-room subwoofer should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

Suited to vehicle owners installing a car audio subwoofer who want to preserve trunk or cargo space by mounting it inside a spare tire well. Not a fit for a home theater or TV sound setup, which is what its category label might suggest.

Performance notes

The 11 inch driver and 300 watt rating are typical of a compact car audio subwoofer, connected through RCA inputs from a vehicle's head unit or amplifier. The spare tire mount enclosure is designed to slot into the wheel well of a truck or SUV, trading some low-end output for space savings compared to a full-size box.
