The Bass Blaster subwoofer series is a truly unique blend of car audio nostalgia and modern technology. Designed and built as a product of love for car audio, this subwoofer will look as good in your installation as it will sound. As lifelong enthusiasts ourselves, we knew the demands this subwoofer would need to meet. The engineering expertise of Jacob Fuller, founder of Sundown Audio, has led to a subwoofer that can take the abuse of high-powered systems that the modern-day enthusiast likes to throw at everything. Advanced cooling techniques, high-excursion linear suspension, and classically inspired aesthetics mean The Bass Blaster will give you the best-sounding bass, for a long time, as you turn the heads of anyone that takes a look.
Our philosophy with The Bass Blaster was to recreate the feel of car audio from our youth. The blue surround is not just our branding color, it is an homage to woofers of the 1990s that used brightly colored surrounds as a signature look. The balance of the blue to the grey/silver basket and cone harkens back to the early 2000s when some of our favorite woofer models sported a distinct style. The aluminum dust cap gives depth and texture to the woofer as a whole and adds rigid reinforcement to the cone body. The genesis of the design was the motor itself, the large vent for the four-inch coil caught our eye in car audio shops in the 1990s. Jacob Fuller captured that look while tapering the vent and adding a pole cap so as to not compromise modern cooling techniques for the best performance-to-aesthetics ratio possible. Topped off with the metal mesh over the magnet slugs, The Bass Blaster is the 90s/2000s woofer we all wish we had in our teens, but even better that we have it in our 40s.

"Oh my God I just love how the vibrant blue looks. Really good subwoofer with minimal mechanical noise. Loves the lows. And matches the 90s aesthetics that it’s going for. I would recommend the subwoofer to friends and family. Thanks sparked innovations."
"Nice upgrade from my X series."
"Look fantastic found a decent scratch into the motor case on one of the 4 I baught and i plan to make a clear acrilic box for them and now need to find a way to hind that blimish"
"Bought this beauty due to nostalgia."
"Love it !!!"
"Love the color and Design. Can't wait to install!"
"I cannot get over how well they're performing. I can float bags and hair trick with under 500w total to my 3- 12"s, C pillar slide in that's not trimmed off yet. Even on such low power, and cancelation from not being sealed off, they keep up with all genres, from Whitechapel' crazy double peddle bass lines to Elvis Crespo mid/high bass, to Randy Travis. You really can't go wrong with them. They're only requirement seems to be a well built enclosure, and some power from an amp lol These will honestly shine in setups that don't want big electrical upgrades and only a 500w-1500w setup. But will certainly eat gobs of clean power and sound phenomenal doing it. Ultimate sleeper sub, looks gnarly, and boom- float a grocery bag with a pocket sized Stetsom 400 hahah They sound a lot like the Adire Brahma, and IDmax, but with much more authority across their bandwidth."
"Since we're paying homage to the late 90's/early 00's thought I'd use some of the lingo. Do I need to say more? lol Seriously great subs though."
"The greatest woofers on the freaking market. Old school look, new school sound. But this isn't just a gimmick, these guys are made for the low lows. Wobble your door lows. So thankful to the team at Sparked Innovations."
