The Hertz HMS 10 B4-LD-W is a 10-inch white marine subwoofer engineered for infinite-baffle installations in boats and other open-air audio systems. Its single 4-ohm voice coil handles 300W RMS continuously (600W peak), providing focused low-frequency performance when driven by a compatible subwoofer amplifier. The LD-series design incorporates LED accent lighting, a high-excursion cone assembly, UV-resistant materials, and marine-oriented protection against salt fog, vibration, moisture, and thermal cycling.
Key Features
- 10-inch marine infinite-baffle subwoofer with white front styling
- 300W RMS continuous / 600W peak handling; rating applies to one subwoofer
- Single 4-ohm voice coil for compatible mono or bridged amplifier outputs
- 50mm (2-inch) copper voice coil, high-flux ferrite motor, and FEM-optimized mobile assembly
- Polypropylene cone with UV inhibitors and co-molded Santoprene surround
- Aramid-fiber spider and silicone-insulated lead wires improve durability under sustained excursion
- Marine polymer basket and gold-plated, corrosion-resistant brass speaker terminals with silicone protection
- IP65-rated marine construction, with UV and salt-fog resistance
- LED lighting connection is independent of speaker power and requires appropriate supply/control
- Designed for infinite-baffle installation; optional compact and performance sealed enclosure recommendations are published by Hertz

Compatibility
- Compatible with marine subwoofer amplifiers supporting a 4-ohm load and appropriate RMS output
- Infinite-baffle applications require a suitable rigid installation baffle that separates front and rear acoustic radiation
- For optional enclosed installations, use manufacturer box design recommendations
- LED illumination must be connected to compatible lighting power and control circuits
Installation Notes
- Allow at least 116mm (4.57 in.) of mounting depth plus wiring clearance
- Cut the baffle using the exact mounting template and support the mass of the subwoofer
- Use marine-grade terminations and seal speaker connections and panel penetrations
- Adjust low-pass crossover, gain, and subsonic protection to match the installation and prevent over-excursion
- Keep the front and rear air volumes isolated in infinite-baffle installations
