Infinite-baffle use is the preferred setup, with at least 2 cu. ft. (56.6 L) of clear air space behind the driver. It can also be installed in a sealed enclosure when you need a dedicated box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for an 8.875 in (225 mm) cutout and 5.00 in (127 mm) mounting depth. Front clearance depends on the grille: Classic protrudes 1.50 in (38 mm) and Sport protrudes 1.58 in (40 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 in (250 mm) subwoofer driver with 4 ohm nominal impedance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e175 W continuous power handling for moderate-power marine audio systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfinite-baffle use preferred, with at least 2 cu. ft.

The differences are the grille color and style (Classic vs Sport) and whether a separate LED harness is present for accent lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e010-03264-00: RGB Illumination Yes; Grille Color\/Style Gray Sport.

The Classic grille has a flatter face than Sport and slightly less front protrusion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a flat mounting surface with room for the 5.00 in (127 mm) mounting depth and for cable routing. For infinite-baffle installs, the space behind the driver needs to stay mostly open, since a packed compartment can reduce output and create buzzes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut the 8.875 in (225 mm) opening, test-fit the frame, then mark and drill pilot holes for the mounting screws. Tighten in steps around the circle so the frame seats evenly on fiberglass or composite panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eAudio system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a passive 4-ohm subwoofer driver that connects to a marine amplifier through spade terminals. Pair it with an amplifier channel that is comfortable at a 4-ohm load, then set your crossover so your main speakers are not asked to play the lowest bass notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works best as a dedicated subwoofer channel instead of relying on an in-line passive coil in the speaker wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eRGB illumination wiring\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIlluminated versions add a separate RGB harness that runs on 10 to 14.4 V DC. The main LED positive is a yellow lead, with separate red, green, and blue negatives, and the circuit draws 108 mA at 12 V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProtect the yellow lead with a 150 mA fuse at each speaker location and use at least 16 AWG wire for the LED circuit. Do not connect the LEDs to 24 V systems or to navigation light circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCare on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe speaker is water and spray resistant, but it is not meant to be submerged or blasted with high-pressure spray. After saltwater use, rinse with fresh water and clean with mild soap to keep the grille finish in good shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne polymer subwoofer grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix #8 x 1 1\/2-inch (38 mm) Phillips pan-head stainless-steel screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix #8 stainless-steel washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogo badges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Yes \/ Gray Sport","offer_id":52271047246005,"sku":"QBP423445-V1","price":409.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"No \/ Gray Sport","offer_id":52271047278773,"sku":"QBP423445-V2","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yes \/ White Sport","offer_id":52271047311541,"sku":"QBP423445-V3","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"No \/ White Sport","offer_id":52271047344309,"sku":"QBP423445-V4","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"No \/ White Classic","offer_id":52271047377077,"sku":"QBP423445-V5","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1306957_qbp423445.webp?v=1771552611","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp423445","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
