VM Audio EXMW10 ELUX 10″ Competition Marine Subwoofer Review

My son is a stereo installer. He does amazing work! He’s been installing stereos in cars, trucks, boats, homes and RV’s. This kid is so talented that other businesses have stolen him away! I could go on and ON but, then you would be jealous! Zachary has been installing for 15 years. He KNOWS speakers, subwoofers, alarms, stereos, dvd players. He was the PERFECT person to write this review!

VM Audio sent me a EXMW10 is a 10” Competition Marine Subwoofer to review.  Here is Zac’s review:

My initial thoughts: The “Features” printed on the side of the box were impressive. Besides the expected weather proofing and corrosion resistant parts, I was happy to see a 2″ voice coil and great sensitivity rating of 90db. Frequency response of 30 mz to 800hz is good as well.

What’s in the box:
Supplied: 10″ white gasket. VERY nice to have! AND in white to boot! Rarely supplied now days.
10″ cut out and a screw hold template. Also very nice to have.
Product registration and warranty card.
Full color installation guide. Really nice manual with T/S parameters and enclosure designs.

Getting started: The subwoofer comes assembled with grill. Grill is sturdy and attaches strong. PVC framing makes this sub woofer is very light. Yet you can still feel the weight in the magnet. This is a good sign! Binding post is nice but not sure how they will withstand the elements. Overall the finish is very nice and stylish.

Listening: Started off with sign waves to in the suspension of the subwoofer. The sub played well within the claimed frequency range. (Frequency Response: 27Hz – 360Hz) For the music testing I played a few CD’s that I am very familiar with. Metallica’s “And Justice For All” the subwoofer handled the double bass really well. Snappy, tight and accurate.  Next I sued JB Projects “Brombo!” CD and George Duke’s “Dukey Treats”. The subwoofer played well, had a little trouble with the low extending bass guitars. It played all the drums well and accurately. The subwoofer played all the drums well and accurately, and blended decently with my high pass speakers.

Final thoughts: This is a GREAT subwoofer for the price, actually it sounds like an expensive subwoofer! The EXMW10 sounds great in the open environment of a boat. (which sounds redundant but you would be surprised at how many don’t!!)  With the proper amplifier, power, tuning and enclosure this is a fantastic woofer. I have this subwoofer in the footwell of my boat and it sounds great!!  Two thumbs WAY UP!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Refreshing My Old Blog Posts: The Good, The Bad, and The 404s

Updating an old blog post is a lot like an archaeological dig. You head in expecting to “dust” the archives and end up unearthing a series of questionable life choices from a decade ago. From over-filtered photos to advice that aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud.

But it’s not just my old writing style that’s haunting me. It turns out, I have a resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

Meet the Ghost in the Machine

Apparently, while I was busy living my life, this digital poltergeist has been redecorating the archives. I recently opened a “quick update” only to find:

• The Vanishing Act: The Ghost has been deleting images, leaving behind empty boxes where helpful tutorial steps used to be. Apparently, my 2016 photography wasn’t “aesthetic” enough for the afterlife.
• The Dead Link Graveyard: Half my former brand partners have been exorcised. I’m finding links that lead to nowhere or, worse, to “AI Crypto Collectives” that definitely weren’t there before.
• Font Sabotage: The Ghost clearly has a vendetta against modern typography. I’m finding sections of text that have reverted to antique fonts that haven’t been cool since dial-up, making my blog look like a Geocities fan page.

I Am Giving My Content a Facelift

I’m sitting on a mountain of old posts, so here is the official Peanut Butter and Whine guide to a quick blog refresh (and ghost-busting):

1. Exorcising the 404s: I’m using a plugin to hunt down those dead links the Ghost left behind and pointing them somewhere that actually exists.
2. Updating the “Now”: If I mentioned a “must-have” product from five years ago, I’m swapping it for the 2026 version.
3. Spruce up the Metadata: I’m ensuring my focus keyword (blog) is in the headers and the first paragraph so the algorithms know exactly what’s up.

While You’re Here…

Don’t let your visit be a “one and done!” Since I’m already tidying up the place, why not stay a while?

• Win Big: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway—I promise this one is actually alive and kicking!
• Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, why wouldn’t you take the free money?
