The Seismic Audio Quake 10 is a professional-grade 10-inch woofer designed for DIY speaker builders and technicians replacing blown drivers in PA systems. This steel-frame driver delivers reliable mid-bass performance for live sound applications where durability matters.

The Quake 10 handles 125 watts RMS with a 250-watt peak rating, providing the power capacity needed for small to medium venue sound reinforcement. Its 50-ounce magnet and 2-inch voice coil work together to produce controlled low-end response and handle the demands of live performance without distortion.

With 8-ohm impedance and 98 dB sensitivity, this driver integrates easily into existing PA cabinet designs or custom builds. The frequency response spans 65Hz to 5kHz, covering the essential mid-bass range that forms the foundation of vocal and instrument reproduction. The pressed steel chassis ensures long-term reliability under the stress of touring and regular gigging.

Use the Quake 10 in custom 2-way PA cabinets for bands, DJ setups, or small venue installations handling crowds up to 150 people. It works well as a replacement driver for damaged speakers in existing systems, particularly in church sound systems and school auditoriums where consistent performance is essential.

This raw driver requires mounting in a properly designed enclosure with appropriate crossover components. Each Quake 10 weighs 9 pounds and ships with a one-year warranty, backed by Seismic Audio's commitment to professional-grade components at accessible prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venue can I cover with the Quake 10?

When properly integrated into a 2-way cabinet design, the Quake 10 works well for venues holding up to 150 people, such as small clubs, churches, or outdoor events. For larger spaces, you'll want to pair multiple cabinets or step up to a higher-powered driver. The 98 dB sensitivity means it produces good volume with moderate amplifier power.

Can I use this to replace a blown speaker in my existing PA cabinet?

Yes, the Quake 10 works as a direct replacement for most 10-inch, 8-ohm PA drivers with similar power ratings. Check your cabinet's original driver specs to ensure compatibility. The pressed steel frame and standard mounting dimensions fit most PA enclosures designed for 10-inch drivers.

What do I need to build a complete speaker with this driver?

You'll need a properly designed cabinet, a tweeter or compression driver for high frequencies, a crossover network to divide the signal, speaker terminals, and internal wiring. The Quake 10 handles the mid-bass frequencies from 65Hz to 5kHz, so you'll want a high-frequency driver that starts around 2-3kHz for proper overlap.

How does the Quake 10 compare to a 12-inch driver for PA use?

The 10-inch Quake 10 offers tighter, more controlled bass response and fits in more compact cabinets, making it ideal for portable setups. A 12-inch driver typically provides deeper low-end extension and higher overall output, but requires larger, heavier enclosures. Choose based on your portability needs versus maximum output requirements.

What amplifier power should I use with this driver?

The Quake 10's 125-watt RMS rating means you can safely use amplifiers up to 125 watts per channel continuous power. Using a slightly higher-powered amp (up to 200 watts) is fine as long as you don't drive it into clipping. The 8-ohm impedance works with virtually all PA amplifiers and powered mixer outputs.
