Hey, I'm JR, training manager here at Crutchfield, and this is the JBL BassPro Nano. It is a
compact powered subwoofer you can put in your car to add just a little bit of low-end bass,
that rumble that you want to hear in your music, but your factory system probably isn't
giving you. I first saw this speaker when JBL announced it at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in
January of 2020. They showed it to me, we even did a video on it, and they explained
that it is a Crutchfield exclusive, and it remains so today. The only place you can get
this is at Crutchfield, and we're pretty excited about it. As far as powered subwoofers go, the JBL BassPro Nano is pretty small, but it really packs
a punch. Don't let its small size fool you. The cabinet is very well designed, heavy
duty. You can feel the build quality on it when you're holding it in your hands, and that
heavy, rigid cabinet helps it make a lot of bass. There is a 6-by-8 shallow-mount woofer
right here on the top, powered by a 100-watt amplifier. That is a recipe for plenty of low bass.
In fact, all the way down to 30 hertz. Which is getting into that range of bass that you can feel more than you can hear. It comes with a variable crossover,
so you can dial in just how much bass you want. There's also a bass boost, which accentuates
the bass frequencies you probably want to hear the most, and there's also a phase switch
on there, so if you place this in a spot in your car where you're not getting as much
bass as you should or want, you can hit that phase button and that might fix your problems.
It helps with placement. There is also a wired bass knob included. You can put this up on
your dash, run the wire down to your sub and have control of the level of bass right there
from your driver's seat, even while you're driving. You can change the base per song. That's a really
cool feature. And the BassPro Nano is set up to work with an aftermarket radio that
has preamp outputs for an amplifier, like the amplifier inside the BassPro Nano. Or you can connect it to a factory radio using speaker-level inputs.
It comes with this harness here, which has about 12 inches of your power wire for power,
ground, remote turn on. These wires are used to connect to the speaker wires in your car.
You'll tap into those wires to get a copy of the signal and run it into the BassPro Nano; it can use that to make the bass.
So the only wires the BassPro Nano comes with are the wire for the knob and these wires here; you will also need to get an amplifier wiring kit, which is the
power and ground wire and remote turn on wire and fuses, and all of that stuff you'll need to
actually connect it to the power or the electrical system in your car, and if you're connecting
it to an aftermarket radio, a set of RCA patch cables will be needed as well. JBL also includes mounting hardware
so that you can secure it to your car so it doesn't move around or rattle around or anything like that. I mentioned
that I was excited about this when I first saw it in January of 2020, and now that we've
had it available for awhile, we have a lot of customers that have purchased it, installed
it, and have written reviews about it right here on the product page for this on crutchfield.com.
And I was looking through those, and I loved what I saw. A lot of five star reviews, and a lot of customers are even posting
pictures of it installed in their car. So you can kind of get an idea of what this will look like, how big it is, or
how small it is, and also customers are raving about how it sounds in their various vehicles,
and it's a pretty wide gamut of vehicles. Everything from Chevy Corvettes and Ford
Mustangs, Lexus LX450s, Mazda CX5s, Nissan Frontiers, to some interesting vehicles. Even larger vehicles than I might have expected. For example,
several people mentioned how great it sounds in their full-size Chevy pickup truck. That's a fairly large vehicle, and for this to have
enough bass for somebody in a vehicle like that, that speaks well for the BassPro Nano.
It's also a good choice, as one customer pointed out, in a Toyota Prius. A Toyota Prius, like
many hybrid vehicles, you can't install large amplifiers that will draw lots of current
from the vehicle's electrical system. Those hybrid vehicles are not set up for that. The
BassPro Nano does not draw a lot of current, so you can safely install it without compromising
your vehicle's electrical system, and still get plenty of bass to make that Prius sound system that much better.
The BassPro Nano is the perfect subwoofer for anybody looking to just add that low end that's
usually missing from your factory radio. Maybe you've even installed new speakers and you're
still not getting that deep bass. The BassPro Nano will give you that. If you're looking
for huge bass, so much bass that your windows rattle and people can hear you at the intersection
when you're jamming, JBL makes those as well. You can get some boxes with 10s and 12-inch subwoofers, and hundreds and thousands
of watts of power to make that possible. This is not that. This is kind of the everyman's subwoofer.
So if you're looking to add that low-end bass to your car, you might consider the JBL BassPro
Nano. If you need any help figuring out if this is the right sub or how you can add
