Why Audio Sellerz Sells SoundQubed: Who They Are, Our Story and the Products We Support

Audio Sellerz started selling SoundQubed in 2024, but our relationship with the brand did not begin with a formal dealer presentation, a complicated business plan or months of negotiations.

It started with one simple question from someone we already knew.

“Why aren’t you selling SoundQubed?”

At the time, Jon Rabe was part owner of SoundQubed. Jon and I were talking one day when he asked why Audio Sellerz was not carrying the brand.

I honestly did not have a good answer.

We had never had a problem with SoundQubed. We had never made a decision against the company. There was no disagreement, bad experience or complicated reason keeping Audio Sellerz away from the brand.

We simply were not selling it.

Jon told me to let him know when I wanted a pallet of SoundQubed equipment and that he would help get us going.

That was the beginning.

We brought in our first SoundQubed products in 2024. Once the equipment arrived and customers started buying it, I quickly found myself thinking the same thing over and over:

We should have done this sooner.

SoundQubed made sense for our customers. The lineup included products for different budgets, power levels, vehicle sizes and system goals. Customers already recognized the name, bassheads already knew the logo, and the products gave Audio Sellerz more legitimate options for building complete car audio systems.

Just as importantly, SoundQubed was connected to a group of guys we respected and felt good supporting.

Jon no longer has part ownership in SoundQubed. However, the group of guys who owned and operated the brand alongside him are still in charge, and our respect for the company has not changed.

Audio Sellerz remains a proud supporter of SoundQubed.

We are proud to support the products, but we are equally proud to support the people behind them.

How Audio Sellerz Started Selling SoundQubed

Some relationships in the car audio industry begin with contracts, sales projections and carefully prepared meetings.

Our SoundQubed story began because Jon asked me a question that made me realize we had overlooked a brand that fit Audio Sellerz extremely well.

Why were we not selling SoundQubed?

Audio Sellerz already understood the type of customers SoundQubed served.

We worked with people building their first daily-driver bass system. We helped customers match subwoofers with amplifiers. We understood custom boxes, voice coils, final ohm loads, power wire, grounds, batteries, alternators and the difference between buying random equipment and building a complete system.

SoundQubed belonged in those conversations.

The company offered subwoofers for several different power levels, monoblock amplifiers for bass systems, multi-channel amplifiers for speakers, coaxial and component speakers, high-output mids and highs, amp kits, wiring products and other equipment used in real car audio builds.

We had customers who already knew the SoundQubed name.

We had customers looking for SoundQubed subs.

We had customers searching for SoundQubed amplifiers.

We had people comparing HDS and HDX subwoofers.

We simply had not taken the step of adding the brand.

Jon made that step easy. He told us to let him know when we were ready for a pallet, and he helped get Audio Sellerz started.

We became ready in 2024.

Once the products arrived, it did not take long to see the opportunity we had been missing.

Why We Wish We Had Started Selling SoundQubed Earlier

The products began making sense almost immediately.

SoundQubed gave Audio Sellerz more ways to help customers without forcing every buyer into the same price range or the same kind of system.

Someone wanting an affordable first bass system could find an option.

Someone wanting a stronger daily-driver SoundQubed subwoofer could find an option.

Someone building around an HDX subwoofer and thousands of watts of amplifier power could find an option.

Someone needing upgraded door speakers could find an option.

Someone looking for a compact amplifier or a serious high-power SoundQubed amp could find an option.

The brand covered a broad part of the car audio market while keeping an identity that car audio enthusiasts already recognized.

That combination is valuable to a real car audio shop.

Audio Sellerz does not need brands that only give us one product to sell. We want product lines that help us build complete systems for different customers.

SoundQubed became one of those brands.

Who Is SoundQubed?

SoundQubed is an aftermarket car audio brand known for subwoofers, amplifiers, speakers, tweeters, horns, wiring products, amplifier installation kits and supporting car audio equipment.

The official name is written as SoundQubed, although customers also search for Sound Qubed, SoundQubed Audio, Sound Cubed and similar variations.

SoundQubed has built recognition among bassheads because its lineup serves several different levels of car audio.

The brand is not limited to one giant competition subwoofer or one small daily-driver amplifier.

SoundQubed products can be used in:

• First-time car audio systems
• Affordable bass upgrades
• Single-subwoofer daily-driver builds
• Dual-subwoofer systems
• Pickup truck and compact-vehicle installations
• Louder street and demo systems
• High-output subwoofer builds
• Large monoblock amplifier systems
• Factory speaker replacements
• Component speaker upgrades
• Custom doors and speaker pods
• Tweeter and horn systems
• Complete wiring and electrical installations

Customers can start by browsing the complete SoundQubed collection at Audio Sellerz.

Is SoundQubed a Good Car Audio Brand?

Audio Sellerz believes SoundQubed is a strong car audio brand when the products are selected, matched and installed correctly.

That last part matters.

A good subwoofer can still perform poorly when it is placed in the wrong enclosure.

A powerful amplifier can still disappoint when it is connected with undersized wire or installed on an electrical system that cannot support it.

A quality speaker can still sound bad when it is mounted loosely, crossed over incorrectly or supplied with a distorted signal.

SoundQubed gives customers several product levels, but the products still need to fit the system.

One customer may need a single SoundQubed subwoofer, a moderate amplifier and a practical ported enclosure.

Another may need multiple HDX subwoofers, a large SoundQubed amplifier, upgraded OFC wire, additional battery capacity and a high-output alternator.

The fact that SoundQubed can serve both customers is one of the main reasons Audio Sellerz supports the brand.

Why Audio Sellerz Continues Supporting SoundQubed

SoundQubed Offers Products for Different Budgets

Not every customer has the same budget.

Some people are buying their first real car audio system. Others have already built several systems and are ready for something much more powerful.

SoundQubed gives us choices for customers at several points along that path.

That allows Audio Sellerz to recommend equipment based on what someone actually needs instead of forcing one product into every build.

SoundQubed Offers Several Performance Levels

A customer can begin with a practical daily-driver SoundQubed system and later move into stronger HDS or HDX equipment as the build grows.

They may start with one subwoofer and a smaller amplifier.

Later, they may add a larger enclosure, more cone area, stronger electrical support and a more powerful amplifier.

SoundQubed offers enough variety to remain part of the system as the customer’s goals change.

Customers Already Recognize the SoundQubed Name

SoundQubed is not a name we need to explain from the beginning every time a customer asks about it.

Bassheads recognize the logo.

Customers search for SoundQubed subs, SoundQubed subwoofers, SoundQubed amplifiers, SoundQubed speakers and exact HDS or HDX products.

Many people have owned SoundQubed equipment before or know someone who has.

SoundQubed Helps Us Build Complete Car Audio Systems

SoundQubed is not only a subwoofer company.

The company also offers amplifiers, speakers, tweeters, horns, amp kits, wiring products and sound deadener.

That gives Audio Sellerz more ways to help customers build a complete SoundQubed system instead of selling one isolated product.

We Respect the People Behind the Brand

This is one of the most important reasons.

Audio Sellerz believes relationships matter.

Jon helped open the door for us in 2024, and we will always appreciate that.

Even though he no longer has part ownership, the group of guys who owned and operated SoundQubed alongside him are still running the company.

They are a great group of people, and we are proud to support them.

The products matter, but the people are also part of why Audio Sellerz continues standing behind SoundQubed.

Shop SoundQubed Products by Category

SoundQubed offers more than one type of car audio product. To make the lineup easier to shop, Audio Sellerz has created dedicated SoundQubed collections for each major part of the system.

Browse the category that matches the equipment you need:

• Shop SoundQubed subwoofers and subs
• Shop SoundQubed amplifiers and car audio amps
• Shop SoundQubed speakers, coaxials and midrange speakers
• Shop SoundQubed tweeters and horns
• Shop SoundQubed amp kits and wire
• Shop SoundQubed sound deadener

SoundQubed Subwoofers and Subs

SoundQubed subwoofers are what many car audio enthusiasts first associate with the brand.

The lineup gives customers choices for smaller daily-driver systems, stronger street builds and serious high-output setups.

SoundQubed subs are available in several sizes, power levels and voice-coil configurations depending on the exact model and series.

Customers can compare different products through the dedicated SoundQubed subwoofer collection.

SoundQubed HDS Subwoofers

The SoundQubed HDS lineup is one of the most recognizable parts of the brand.

HDS subwoofers can fit customers who want stronger daily-driver bass and street performance without automatically moving into the most extreme equipment available.

Different HDS models allow shoppers to compare several power levels and sizes.

The SoundQubed HDS3.2 10" Series subwoofer is one example of a product that can work in a serious daily-driver system where enclosure space still matters.

A SoundQubed 10" subwoofer can make sense in:

• Pickup trucks
• Compact cars
• Smaller hatchbacks
• Space-conscious trunk systems
• Single-subwoofer daily-driver builds
• Dual-10" systems where room is limited

SoundQubed HDX Subwoofers

SoundQubed HDX subwoofers are aimed at customers moving into more serious high-output car audio.

An HDX system normally requires more planning than a basic bass upgrade.

The customer needs enough enclosure space, amplifier power, wire capacity, battery support and alternator output to use the equipment correctly.

The SoundQubed HDX3 12" subwoofer is one example of a product that can become the foundation of a serious daily-driver or high-output system.

A SoundQubed HDX subwoofer may make sense when:

• The customer wants more output than a smaller daily system can provide
• The vehicle has enough room for a properly designed enclosure
• The amplifier can deliver the required RMS power
• The charging system can support the amplifier
• The customer understands that the box and electrical system are part of the build

The SoundQubed Subwoofer Box Matters

A good SoundQubed subwoofer can still perform poorly in the wrong box.

The enclosure affects how the subwoofer loads, how low it plays, how efficiently it uses power and how much output it produces inside the vehicle.

The box needs to match:

• The exact SoundQubed subwoofer model
• The number of subwoofers
• The available vehicle space
• The recommended internal air space
• The sealed or ported design
• The port area and tuning
• The amplifier power
• The customer’s music and listening goals

People planning a bass system should read the Audio Sellerz subwoofer box guide before selecting an enclosure.

One SoundQubed Subwoofer or Two?

There is no rule saying every SoundQubed system needs two subwoofers.

One properly matched subwoofer can outperform two subs installed in the wrong enclosure or connected to an amplifier and charging system that cannot support them.

A single SoundQubed subwoofer may be the better choice when:

• Cargo space is limited
• The customer wants a practical daily-driver system
• The amplifier budget is smaller
• The charging system is mostly stock
• The goal is strong bass without taking over the vehicle

Two SoundQubed subs may make more sense when:

• The customer wants additional cone area and output
• The vehicle has room for the correct enclosure
• The amplifier can provide the needed power
• The electrical system can support the amplifier
• The selected voice coils create the correct final ohm load

SoundQubed Amplifiers and Car Audio Amps

SoundQubed amplifiers give customers options for bass systems, door speakers, component systems, mids, highs and larger high-output builds.

The dedicated SoundQubed amplifier collection makes it easier to compare SoundQubed monoblock amps, multi-channel amplifiers and different power levels.

SoundQubed Monoblock Amplifiers

A SoundQubed monoblock amplifier is normally selected to power one or more subwoofers.

Before choosing a SoundQubed bass amp, customers need to know:

• The number of subwoofers
• The RMS rating of each subwoofer
• The voice-coil configuration
• The final wired ohm load
• The amplifier’s output at that load
• The available electrical support

The biggest wattage number is not automatically the right amplifier.

The amplifier must match the complete system.

SoundQubed F-Series Amplifiers

SoundQubed F-Series amplifiers include high-output options for customers building powerful systems.

The amplifier shown in the featured image is the SoundQubed F1-7500 full-bridge monoblock amplifier.

An amplifier at that power level should not be added to a completely stock vehicle without planning.

A large SoundQubed amplifier system may require:

• Large OFC power and ground wire
• Correct fuse protection
• Secure, low-resistance grounds
• A Big 3 wiring upgrade
• Additional battery capacity
• A high-output alternator
• Stable charging voltage
• Correct gain and crossover settings

SoundQubed Multi-Channel Amplifiers

SoundQubed also offers amplifiers for door speakers, component speakers, midrange speakers, tweeters and other full-range equipment.

A multi-channel SoundQubed amplifier may be used to power:

• Front and rear coaxial speakers
• A component speaker set
• Midrange speakers
• Mids and tweeters
• Custom door panels
• Speaker pods

SoundQubed Speakers, Tweeters and Horns

SoundQubed is more than a bass brand.

The company also offers equipment for the rest of the sound system, including coaxial speakers, component speakers, midrange speakers, tweeters and horn-loaded options.

SoundQubed Speakers

The SoundQubed speaker collection includes options for factory speaker replacement, better daily-driver sound and louder custom systems.

SoundQubed speakers can be used for:

• Factory door-speaker replacement
• Rear-deck speaker upgrades
• Component speaker systems
• Midrange upgrades
• Custom doors
• Speaker pods
• Loud mids-and-highs systems

The SoundQubed HDS Series 6.5" component speakers are one option for customers wanting a more complete front-stage upgrade.

SoundQubed Tweeters and Horns

The SoundQubed tweeters and horns collection gives customers options for clearer high frequencies and stronger projection.

Tweeters and horns may be used in:

• Factory tweeter locations
• A-pillars and sail panels
• Custom doors
• Speaker pods
• Motorcycle and powersports systems
• Loud demo systems
• High-output mids-and-highs builds

Tweeters must be protected from lower frequencies with the correct crossover settings. They should also be matched to the amplifier, connected impedance and output level of the midrange speakers.

SoundQubed Amp Kits, Wire and Deadener

SoundQubed Amp Kits and Wire

The amplifier cannot perform correctly if the power and ground wiring cannot carry the required current.

The SoundQubed amp kits and wire collection includes wiring products for different amplifier sizes and installation goals.

Customers should select wire according to:

• The amplifier’s real current demand
• The length of the wire run
• The wire gauge
• OFC or CCA construction
• The required fuse size
• Possible future upgrades

A larger SoundQubed amplifier may require 1/0 gauge wire, upgraded grounds, a Big 3 kit and additional electrical support.

Smaller daily-driver amplifiers may use less wire capacity, but the power cable, ground cable and fuse protection still need to be installed correctly.

SoundQubed Sound Deadener

The vehicle itself can affect how the audio system sounds.

Doors, trunks, roofs, floors and interior panels can vibrate when speakers and subwoofers are playing.

The SoundQubed sound deadener collection gives customers material for reducing unwanted vibration and panel resonance.

Sound deadener can be useful in:

• Front and rear doors
• Trunks
• Hatch areas
• Rear decks
• Floors
• Roofs
• Speaker mounting areas
• Spare-tire wells

Deadener does not add amplifier power, but reducing vibration and rattles can help the system sound cleaner and more controlled.

Building a SoundQubed Car Audio System for the First Time

Customers starting their first car audio system do not need to buy the largest SoundQubed products available.

A better first step is deciding what the system needs to accomplish.

Ask yourself:

• How much space can I give up?
• Do I want a simple bass upgrade or a very loud system?
• Do I want one subwoofer or two?
• What amplifier power can my electrical system support?
• Will I upgrade the system later?
• Do I also need better door speakers?
• Do I need new wire and an amp kit?
• Will the vehicle need sound deadener?

A Basic SoundQubed Bass System

A first SoundQubed bass system may include:

• One properly selected SoundQubed subwoofer
• A matching monoblock amplifier
• A sealed or ported enclosure designed for the subwoofer
• The correct amp kit and wire size
• Proper fuse protection
• A clean amplifier ground
• Correct signal and gain settings

A Complete SoundQubed Daily-Driver System

A more complete daily-driver build may include:

• One or two SoundQubed subwoofers
• A SoundQubed monoblock amplifier
• SoundQubed coaxial or component speakers
• A multi-channel amplifier
• SoundQubed tweeters when needed
• OFC power and ground wire
• Sound deadener in the doors and trunk
• Electrical upgrades based on amplifier demand

A High-Power SoundQubed System

A larger build should be planned as one complete electrical and audio system.

It may require:

• Higher-power SoundQubed subwoofers
• A large SoundQubed amplifier
• A properly designed custom enclosure
• Multiple runs of power and ground wire
• Upgraded battery capacity
• A high-output alternator
• A Big 3 upgrade
• Correct distribution and fuse protection
• Upgraded mids, highs, tweeters and amplifiers
• Sound deadener and rattle control

The amplifier, subwoofers, wire, batteries and alternator all need to work together.

Helpful Car Audio Guides Before Building Your SoundQubed System

That is what Audio Sellerz works to provide.

We Do Not Recommend the Same SoundQubed System to Everyone

Supporting SoundQubed does not mean recommending the largest SoundQubed subwoofer or amplifier to every customer.

A responsible recommendation should consider:

• The vehicle
• The available space
• The budget
• The desired output
• The existing electrical system
• The planned amplifier power
• The customer’s music
• How hard the system will be played
• Possible future upgrades

Sometimes the best system is one SoundQubed subwoofer and a smaller amplifier.

Sometimes a customer is ready for multiple subwoofers and thousands of watts.

Sometimes the best advice is to upgrade the wire, battery and alternator before buying a larger amplifier.

Sometimes better speakers and sound deadener will improve the system more than adding another subwoofer.

Our goal is not simply to sell the biggest product available.

Our goal is to help customers build SoundQubed systems that work.
