Blaupunkt launches all-in-one subwoofer for enhanced car-audio experience

Blaupunkt India, a world leader in car infotainment and sound, has just launched another sound product with respect to in-car entertainment systems. The GTb 8A promises to deliver the bass you've been missing as its 8" spun-paper woofer pumps out the low-end thump. It is priced at Rs 9,990.

Commonly, it takes a sub, an enclosure and an amplifier to produce bass. Finding the right combination of these three elements can be tricky. The GTb 8A eliminates all this hassle, as Blaupunkt has designed the enclosure to house the sub and amp together. Its built-in 75-watt RMS amplifier keeps you from having to match up a separate amplifier —simply wire this sub up to your system and you're good to go.

This all-in-one solution is especially useful in smaller vehicles, where there's no room to mount a separate amp, or in any vehicle where you need every bit of cargo space. At under 11" deep, this compact sub will fit in some pretty tight places. With both speaker level and line-level inputs accepted, the GTb 8A can be connected to any type of car radio and can be fitted into all Indian entry levels hatchback, including factory-fitted models.
