The EVAL/Aquatic AV 10-inch marine subwoofer (code 03066) is the ultimate addition to any yacht or boat’s audio system, meant to reproduce the low frequencies that regular speakers can’t fully deliver. This is a true bass speaker, built to withstand marine conditions and provide powerful sound. With it, you will feel the music – literally, through the bass vibrations – whether you’re cruising or relaxing at anchor.
Power & Sound: This subwoofer is rated at 200W RMS, indicating its ability to handle continuous high power levels without distortion or overheating. Its peak power (~400W or more) ensures it can absorb dynamic spikes (like a sharp drum kick or an explosion in a movie soundtrack) without damaging the cone. With a frequency response roughly 40Hz – 4kHz, it covers the sub-bass and bass range, complementing the rest of your speakers nicely. In practical terms, adding this sub means your on-board parties will have a solid thump, and movie nights will have that cinematic low-end rumble. Even underway, when high notes get lost in the wind, the bass from the sub will remain clearly perceptible.
Built for the Sea: Developed in partnership with Aquatic AV (a well-known marine electronics brand), this subwoofer is specifically engineered for marine use:
- The speaker’s chassis (basket) is made of a sealed polymer that won’t corrode – unlike typical metal baskets, saltwater can’t eat it away. All joints are sealed (epoxy-coated), so the internal parts of the speaker stay dry.
- The cone is likely polypropylene or a composite that resists water and UV. The surround is rubber or similar, which can handle salt and temperature swings without cracking.
- The magnet structure is specially treated or enclosed to prevent rust. Some marine subs use dual magnets or special coatings, so we can be confident this one has protection too.
- The terminals are corrosion-resistant, and wiring is sealed with grommets. All this translates to long service life – the subwoofer will perform reliably through many seasons, even with heavy marine use.
LED Lighting: One striking feature of this sub is the built-in RGB LED lighting in the cone. When connected to a controller or directly to 12V (depending on how you wire it), the subwoofer can illuminate in various colors. With a proper RGB controller (sold separately, e.g., code 03228-CTRL from EVAL/Aquatic AV), you can select static colors or set up color-changing and pulse effects synced to your music. Imagine a soft blue glow in the cockpit pulsing with each bass hit, or a vibrant party mode cycling through colors – this sub adds not only sound but also a light show to enhance your boat’s evening ambiance. If you prefer subtlety, you can also leave the lighting off – or set it to a single color (like white for a gentle ambient light). Importantly: the LED system is multicolor (RGB), which means it can shine in any color, not limited to one hue. This gives you the freedom to integrate it with the rest of your boat’s LED lighting scheme.
Installation Considerations: As a 10″ subwoofer, it requires a larger cutout – about 9.173″ (233mm) diameter hole and ~5.3″ (135mm) mounting depth. It’s often installed in cavities like under-seat storage, a console panel, or a custom subwoofer enclosure. When mounted in a sealed enclosure, you’ll get tighter, punchier bass; in a semi-open area (like a big console space), the bass will be more dispersed – but either way it will significantly enrich the low-end performance of your system. The sub is passive, meaning it requires an external amplifier/channel capable of supplying the needed power (you’ll want a marine amp around 200-400W RMS @ 4Ω). Typically, you’d wire it to a dedicated monoblock or bridged amp channel.
Safety & Placement: The magnet on a subwoofer like this is powerful, but Osculati/EVAL have marine requirements in mind – beyond roughly 1 meter, its influence on the compass is negligible. So just mount the subwoofer at a decent distance from your boat’s compass (usually compasses are up at the helm, subs are down low), and your navigation won’t be affected. Keep that in mind and you’ll have no issues.
Grille & Looks: The sub comes with a protective grille included. BL and W versions differ by the grille color (black or white) so you can match your interior. The grille is sturdy, allowing sound and light to pass through while protecting the cone from kicks, gear, or heavy items. A black grille can give a slick, modern look (and hide dirt better), while the white blends classicly with white yacht interiors.
With this 10″ EVAL subwoofer, your audio system reaches a new level. It’s a component for true music lovers and onboard party enthusiasts: delivering tangible bass and dazzling lighting effects that will impress your guests. By adding it to your existing speakers, you achieve a full-range sound and DJ-like experience right on deck. All of this comes with the confidence that the equipment is built for the marine environment and tested for endurance, so it will keep the good vibes (and good vibes visible) going for a long time during your adventures at sea.
