Quake 10" - 8 ohm Steel Frame Driver for PA Speakers (Pair) Loudspeakers
The Quake 10" steel frame woofers are built for musicians, DJs, and sound engineers who need reliable replacement drivers or want to build custom PA speakers from scratch. These 8-ohm drivers deliver the punch and clarity essential for live sound reinforcement and mobile performance setups.
Each woofer handles 125 watts RMS with 250 watts peak power, providing the headroom needed for dynamic live performances without distortion. The 50-ounce magnet and 2-inch voice coil work together to produce tight, controlled bass response that cuts through the mix.
The pressed steel chassis construction ensures durability during transport and repeated setup, while the paper cone delivers natural midrange response across the 65Hz-5kHz frequency range. At 98dB sensitivity, these drivers convert amplifier power efficiently, making them suitable for venues accommodating 100-200 people when paired with appropriate horn-loaded tweeters.
These woofers work perfectly for replacing blown drivers in existing PA cabinets or building custom speaker boxes for bands, churches, and mobile DJs. Standard speaker wire connections make installation straightforward whether you're doing emergency repairs or planned upgrades.
Each pair comes with Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and ships ready to install. At 9 pounds each, these drivers provide professional-grade performance without the premium price tag that often comes with replacement parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size venues can these woofers handle?
When properly paired with horn-loaded tweeters in well-designed cabinets, these 10-inch woofers can effectively cover venues holding 100-200 people. The 98dB sensitivity and 250-watt peak handling provide sufficient output for small to medium clubs, churches, and outdoor events. For larger venues or higher SPL requirements, consider multiple cabinets or larger drivers.
Can I use these to replace blown woofers in my existing PA speakers?
Yes, these are designed as direct replacement drivers for many 10-inch PA speakers using 8-ohm woofers. Check your current speaker's impedance rating and mounting dimensions before ordering. The standard bolt pattern and 10-inch diameter fit most PA cabinet designs, making these ideal for emergency repairs or planned upgrades.
What do I need to connect these woofers?
You'll need standard speaker wire to connect these drivers to your amplifier or powered mixer. These are passive drivers, so they require an external amplifier capable of delivering at least 125 watts RMS at 8 ohms. If building custom cabinets, you'll also need a crossover network to properly divide frequencies between the woofer and tweeter.
Do these woofers need a subwoofer for full-range sound?
These woofers extend down to 65Hz, which covers most bass guitar and kick drum fundamentals, but they won't reproduce the deep sub-bass below 50Hz that dedicated subwoofers provide. For most live sound applications including bands and DJs, these drivers paired with appropriate tweeters deliver full, satisfying sound without requiring additional subwoofers.
How do these compare to building cabinets with 12-inch or 15-inch drivers?
Ten-inch drivers offer a good balance of portability and performance for smaller venues. While 12-inch and 15-inch drivers move more air and provide deeper bass extension, 10-inch cabinets are lighter and easier to transport. These Quake drivers are ideal when you prioritize mobility without sacrificing professional sound quality for intimate venues and mobile setups.
