More bass, less hassle: AXTON's plug-and-play concept
Installing a subwoofer is considered a complex undertaking in the car audio world. The main reason for this is the power supply: to safely operate an active subwoofer, a separate power cable must typically be routed directly from the vehicle battery through the engine compartment and into the passenger compartment.
With its “Easiest Bass Upgrade” concept, AXTON offers a solution that significantly reduces the installation effort. The system allows you to connect a subwoofer directly to the vehicle’s existing wiring harness—without drilling or additional battery cables.
The operating principle: Efficiency over effort
The concept is based on utilizing existing resources. Instead of running a new power line, the factory radio’s power supply is used. This is possible because modern AXTON subwoofers are so efficient that they do not overload the vehicle’s electronics, yet still deliver a significant improvement in sound quality in the low-frequency range.
The benefits at a glance:
- No structural modifications: There’s no need to drill holes in the firewall or search for rubber grommets in the cramped engine compartment—if there are any at all.
- Time savings: Installation time is reduced by several hours, as there is no need to run the main power cable.
- Fully reversible: Since no original cables are damaged, the system is ideal for leased vehicles.
The modular design: Three components to achieve your goal
The AXTON system has a modular design and can be customized to fit any vehicle. The installation consists of three main components:
- Vehicle-specific plug-and-play connection cable: This cable simply plugs into the original radio and the vehicle connector. It picks up the audio signal and power supply.
- ATS-ISOATB Adapter: This adapter acts as an interface. It combines the signals from the Plug & Play cable and prepares them for connection to the subwoofer.
- Compatible AXTON Subwoofer: A suitable active subwoofer is selected from the AXTON range. Depending on available space, compact enclosures for the passenger compartment or solutions for the spare tire well are available.
Installation in just a few steps
The AXTON configurator provides a clear path to better sound:
- Component selection: Use the configurator to select your vehicle model. The system automatically identifies the appropriate plug-and-play cable and compatible subwoofer models.
- Connection: The components are connected using the plug-and-play principle. The ATS-ISOATB adapter ensures that the connection to the subwoofer is stable and secure.
- Setup: Once connected, the system is ready for use immediately and can be fine-tuned.
Conclusion
The AXTON Easiest Bass Upgrade is a technically sophisticated solution for car owners who want to improve the sound of their factory audio system without making major modifications to the vehicle. Thanks to the combination of vehicle-specific cables and the ATS-ISOATB adapter, installing a subwoofer has never been easier or safer.
