Is the JENSEN J10ASB Subwoofer WORTH It?

[@FLUX-qx6wr]

NICE!!! I just saw this at Walmart and was wondering how it was! Thank you!

[@Blowncapacitor84]

I'm liking it so far!

[@classicwefi]

That looks like a nice sub for the guy who doesn't want to give up all the trunk space

[@Blowncapacitor84]

Yup! You can still fit all the groceries, and Gill can stretch his legs out!

Lol that’s me I have a 95 Chevy Silverado extended cab I’m thinking about getting one of these

What wire harness do I need? Does it come with one? I bought it today. Mine didn’t come with one.

[@Blowncapacitor84]

Oh no! Bring it back. It should have came with a wire harness.

[@Blowncapacitor84]

They should just replace it but if make sure the new one has a harness. I think it was in a bag with the literature.

I’ve installed this subwoofer in my ford Ranger with a pioneer touchscreen radio, the wiring is all correct that I can tell, the RCA cables are going to the sun pre out L and R. The amp turns on but doesn’t work for me. I turned on subwoofer in audio settings and still nothing. Any tips?

[@Blowncapacitor84]

I wonder if there is an option on the headunit to turn on/off the sub signal out. The thing you turned on may just turn on the amp (sends voltage to the blue remote wire) other things could be the gain is set too low on the amp and headunit, rcas are faulty or not connected properly ( sometimes they are hard to push in lol) or, the speaker could have came unplugged at the amp or speaker. If you can, turn on the amp and plug In the rcas and touch the other end of the rca cable. If you hear noise when you do that, then it means the headunit isn't sending an audio signal. I've had that happen often.

[@jaredbeck5002]

@@Blowncapacitor84 there is an option in the head unit and it is turned on in the settings.

[@brunomatchbox9757]

Hey there! I bought a kicker Walmart sub. It has a built in amp. The wires that came with it wants me to splice into my door speakers for rca inputs. I have a 2023 f150. Would it matter if I splice into my rear speakers? Or should I splice into my front speakers?

[@Blowncapacitor84]

It doesn't really matter either will work

Go to that playlist and check out, "Answering your questions about the Dual TBX10A" (which is pretty much the same thing). I answer a question about that... they will get warm, but it shouldn't be hot.

[@justgaming3084]

Thanks!

[@Special.Purpose.Weapon]

​@justgaming3084 the built in amp is a class AB and not a D . Class AB amps run hotter by nature as they are less efficient and give off this as heat .

[@Leo-wild3648]

I just bought one yesterday and it’s hella hot to the touch. Always hit protection mode. Not a bad sub tho

[@acw223]

I picked one of these up the other night. I am have some issues with wiring them though. I have a scosche rca adapter for the stock system. I’ve had a system wired in before that I did but I’m used to the separate amp and separate sub setup not a wire harness. I had someone helping and they were confused as well. Got any videos helping with premade wire harness to an rca adapter?

[@Blowncapacitor84]

I just did a video 2 weeks ago on installing a line out converter (adapter). I also did a video on answering questions about the Dual TBX10A (which is pretty much the same thing). In a nutshell, the harness has 2 red power wires' 2 black ground wires, 2 blue remote wires and 2 rca connectors. The rca's will connect from the adapter to the harness. The power and ground will connect to the red and black wires on the harness (btw, there are 2 wires for each of the power, ground and remote but you can just connect both of those at the same time because they actually connect in the amp and are for using multiple subs. If you only connect one, then be sure to tape the other one.) Now the adapter you have should also send the remote signal?

[@jendistel3919]

Sorry I'm new at this I don't understand the wiring

[@Blowncapacitor84]

No worries! I didn't really go into much detail on the wire harness. Basically, you'll need an amplifier power wire kit (walmart has them) this will power the sub. The red wire is the positive power wire, the black is ground, and the blue is the remote turn on (this turns the amp off with the radio). You'll need a radio with rca outputs and a remote out. If not, you will need a line out converter. Here's a link for installing an identical sub. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmaXpKRqZcZ8f8Usi=qe4PCutwFLciUBWQ

[@Big_Clappa]

Why won’t the sub turn off after u turn my car off? I ran the remote wire to the sunroof fuse.

[@Blowncapacitor84]

Yeah that won't work. If you run it off the fuse it will be always on. You should wire the remote to something that is switched with the ignition after the fuse panel.

[@Big_Clappa]

Thanks. Where did you wire your remote wire? I also tried the cigarette lighter

[@Big_Clappa]

So should the amp turn off when the car turns off?

[@Blowncapacitor84]

@Big_Clappa do you have an aftermarket radio or stock? I would guess it's stock. I wired mine to the remote out wire on my aftermarket radio. If you don't have one then you have to take a multimeter, set it to direct current and figure out what has power when the ignition is on but not when the ignition is turned off. The absolute easiest way you can do it at this point is to get a switch, cut the remote wire as you have it hooked up, connect on side of the wire to one side of the switch, and connect the other side of the cut wire to the other side of the switch. Then, you can just flip the switch when you turn off your vehicle. Basically, power needs to bot be present at the remote wire when the car is off.

[@Blowncapacitor84]

@Big_Clappa yup! 😁 you got this bud! Thank you for watching!

I got my car wired up for the Dual TBX10A last week but the sub was a dud and didnt even work. Getting the Jensen 10 installed in the morning, what are they gonna have to change? Hard process or quick?

[@Blowncapacitor84]

Super quick and easy! The only thing that has to changed is the battery positive and negative wires that are reversed on the wiring harness. They will probably change out the whole harness but that only takes a couple of minutes.

[@pokemonstah401]

@@Blowncapacitor84 Cool! thanks for the reply! Wanted to know what I might have to pay for. Was a stressful experience last week when the Dual sub didn't even work after having my car wired up.. guess that's what happens with a clearance item LOL I couldn't find any other videos on the Jensen really aside from yours, is the bass good? Someone said these powered subs are similar to a home soundbar audio sub and I feel like that can't be true haha

Mine isn't powering on anymore randomly and I can't figure out why, fuse near the battery looks fine from what I can tell doesn't look black or burnt or anything

[@Blowncapacitor84]

Check the ground. I would also check the power wire and fuse by the battery

[@Blowncapacitor84]

Also I've noticed the harness seems to be hard to push in all the way. Maybe it backed out of the amp?

[@pokemonstah401]

@@Blowncapacitor84 I'm honestly a noob when it comes to this not gonna lie 🤣 but from what I can see on the fuse near the battery, it looks good as far as condition. I'm not sure if the blue chip fuse on the sub itself comes out? But, I unplugged and replugged in the harness multiple times and no power light or anything. Can try to push it in tighter I'm not really sure. Thanks for the reply!

[@Blowncapacitor84]

@pokemonstah401 you're good! That fuse will come out (might need some needle nose pliers) I'd say pull it and check it but also check the ground wire if possible. I've had lots of problems with ground wires lol😅
